Universal Citation: 10 NM Admin Code 10.6.2.12

Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 18, September 24, 2024

A. After requesting enhanced 911 service from a telecommunications company or CMRS, a local governing body, acting as the fiscal agent for a PSAP, may by ordinance or resolution, recover from the fund an amount necessary to recover the approved costs of providing the enhanced 911 system in its designated 911 service area.

B. The PSAP and its fiscal agent make a formal written request to the E911 program manager at the division for funding assistance in upgrading their current equipment or adding new equipment to meet new PSAP responsibilities or other eligible costs.

C. If applicable, a project manager from the division will make a site visit to the PSAP to determine the need and funding eligibility for the requested equipment and its conformance with advancing short or long-term policy to consolidate PSAPs.

D. If after discussions with the PSAP manager and his/her clients, the division believes the request has merit, is eligible for funding, and is consistent with PSAP consolidation policy, the PSAP in conjunction with the division will request price proposals from appropriate state price agreement vendors. The division promotes the consolidation of PSAPs and discussions will be held with all participants to determine the feasibility of consolidation. Discussion items will consist of the following:

(1) age and useful life remaining of existing equipment;

(2) estimated maintenance costs of continued use of existing equipment;

(3) equipment manufacturer's commitment to continued maintenance support of the existing equipment;

(4) continued use of analog technology vs. updating to digital technology;

(5) potential impact of wireless E911 implementation on PSAP and its continued use of existing equipment;

(6) PSAP vendors and telephone companies' readiness to install equipment;

(7) desire of PSAPs and their clients to consolidate all PSAP / dispatch functions at that time; and,

(8) the municipal and county governments' ability to fund supporting infrastructure for a consolidated PSAP.

E. If the division determines the request does not have merit or there is inadequate funding available for the request, it will be returned to the PSAP as "not approved by the division".

F. Validated PSAP requests that have passed the above process, will be forwarded in writing by the PSAP and the PSAP's fiscal agent to the division director for approval to place the request(s) on the board of finance meeting agenda.

G. Any item(s) that the division director determines are inappropriate will not be approved for inclusion in the board's meeting agenda. Rejected requests will be returned to the PSAP as "not approved by the division".

H. The division will present the E911 funding project list to the board for approval.

I. Fully executed grant agreement(s) and subcontract(s) shall be provided to the division for the official file. If necessary, subcontracts shall be procured in accordance with the New Mexico Procurement Code and applicable regulations.
