HomeMy WebLinkAboutItem 2h - Mass Notification System Services DATE: September 5, 2017 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Michael E. Lang, Fire Chief By: Barry Spriggs, Deputy Fire Chief SUBJECT: MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH EVERBRIDGE INC. FOR EMERGENCY MASS NOTIFICATION SYSTEM SERVICES IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $22,000 Recommendation: Approve SUMMARY The Fire Department recently solicited a Request for Proposal to provide emergency mass notification system services. Upon review and evaluation of all proposals, it is recommended that the City Council approve, and authorize and direct the City Manager to execute a Master Services Agreement with Everbridge Inc. for emergency mass notification system services in an amount not to exceed $22,000 for Fiscal Year 2017- 18; and, predicated on no change in contract cost, to renew the contract annually for the next three years or through September 2021. Attached is a proposed copy of the Master Services Agreement (“Agreement”) with Everbridge, Inc. for FY 2017-18. Sufficient funds have been budgeted in the Fire Department’s FY 2017-18 Operating Budget. DISCUSSION A mass notification system (“MNS”) is a platform that provides recipients one-way messages to inform the public and employees with vital information relating to outreach and/or early warnings during an emergency event. An MNS typically has a database of names, phone numbers, email addresses, and delivery methods in which people and organizations can be contacted via pre-recorded phone calls, text messages, emails, and social media. Master Services Agreement for Mass Notification System September 5, 2017 Page 2 of 3 One of the most important characteristics of any message delivery method is reaching its intended audience in a timely manner. Recently, the Fire Department solicited proposals to provide emergency mass notification system services that will allow community leaders and staff to send important information to all its constituents and employees within minutes. While the Fire Department took the lead on soliciting the proposals, the MNS would be available for all departments and City personnel. Presently, the City has a divided MNS system. One is used by the Police Department for free (Nixle/Everbridge), where communication is used for outreach only via text and email. The other system is used primarily by the Fire Department (Blackboard) for both emergency and outreach communication via text, email, and phone. Blackboard is also accessible for use by other departments. The Fire Department’s existing agreement with Blackboard is set to expire in September 2017 with an annual amount of $26,000. Contracting with Everbridge will combine services at a much lower cost. Essentially, its MNS platform will allow for one unified system for emergency and outreach communication with the benefits of customization to target specific audience using multiple levels of communication through text, email, and phone. One of the key components of the proposal specified that the mass notification system should have the capability to send out messages through multiple methods of communication such as voice, text, and email. The ability to customize the intended audience was also required. Essentially, the Arcadia MNS will allow users to send messages to specific sections of the community or the entire City. It will also allow staff to send both emergency and/or outreach messages to Arcadia residents and businesses. In June 2017, a Notice Inviting Proposals was published four times in the City’s adjudicated newspaper including extending the proposal’s deadline to attract more interest from potential firms. During the solicitation process, the Department received two inquiries from Seven Outsource and Onsolve companies with questions relating to the City’s outsourcing policy, history of use, and languages used for communication. Even with this outreach effort, in July 2017, the Fire Department received only two (2) proposals with the following result: Proposer Location Proposal Cost Everbridge, Inc. San Francisco, CA $21,844.11 Blackboard Washington, DC $25,239.53 Upon reviewing and evaluating the Request for Proposals, it was determined that Everbridge Inc. is the most qualified and experienced firm that can deliver the requirements outlined in the proposal’s scope of service. Additionally, Everbridge, Inc. is the existing community engagement provider for the Arcadia Police Department. Everbridge, Inc. also offers similar services to the Cities of Downey, Glendale, Malibu, Torrance, and Ventura County with a customer base of 3,500 customers globally that Master Services Agreement for Mass Notification System September 5, 2017 Page 3 of 3 include local, state, and federal government sectors. Based on Everbridge, Inc.’s evident skills and expertise in the management and implementation of a mass notification system platform, utilization of their services would be of benefit to the City. FISCAL IMPACT The first year cost ($22,000) has been budgeted in the Fire Department’s FY 2017-18 Operating Budget for mass notification system services. Based on no change in contract cost, the subsequent three years, through September 2021, will be budgeted in each respective Operating Budget. The current agreement with Blackboard for this service has an annual service cost of $26,000. Therefore, a new agreement with Everbridge will result in an 18% annual savings for providing mass notification system services and will incorporate all City departments. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT The Master Services Agreement with Everbridge, Inc. is not considered a project as defined by California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Section 15378; as a service contract of this nature is considered ministerial. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council approve, and direct and authorize the City Manager to execute a Master Services Agreement with Everbridge, Inc. for emergency mass notification system services in an amount not to exceed $22,000 for Fiscal Year 2017-18; and predicated on no change in the agreement cost, to renew the Agreement annually for the next three years or through September 2021.

Client is responsible for all activity occurring under Client’s account(s) and shall comply with all applicable Privacy Laws (as defined below) and all other applicable U.S. laws and regulations in connection with Client’s use of the Services, including its provision of Client Data to Everbridge.

Everbridge shall abide by all applicable Privacy Laws in connection with the operation of the Services. “Privacy Laws” means all U.S. federal and state laws and regulations regarding consumer and data protection and privacy. 3.4 Data Security. Everbridge’s IT security and compliance program includes the following standards generally adopted by industry leading SaaS providers: (i) reasonable and appropriate technical, organizational, and security measures against the destruction, loss, unavailability, unauthorized access or alteration of Client Data in the possession or under the control of Everbridge, including measures to ensure the availability of information following interruption to, or failure of, critical business processes; and (ii) an annual assessment of its security controls performed by an accredited third party audit firm in accordance with the Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements No. 16 (SSAE 16). Upon request, Everbridge shall provide Client 2 with a copy of its current SSAE 16 SOC 2 report. Everbridge’s security framework is based on the security requirements and controls within US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication 800-53 – Security and Privacy Controls for Information Systems and Organizations. The NIST 800-53 security requirement standard has direct mapping to other security and data privacy frameworks, including global information security standard ISO 27001, HIPAA-HITECH, and HITRUST. 4. TERM. The term of this Agreement shall begin on the Effective Date and shall expire when all underlying Quotes with Client or its Affiliates have expired in accordance with the terms of such Quotes, unless terminated earlier as provided herein. Services under an applicable Quote will begin as set forth in such Quote and shall continue for the initial term specified therein (“Initial Service Term”). If a Quote contains Services added to an existing subscription, such added Services will be coterminous with the Initial Service Term or applicable renewal Service term (“Renewal Term”), unless otherwise agreed to by the parties. If at the end of the applicable Quote, Client intends to renew the Agreement, but has not provided a timely executed written renewal prior to the end of such term, then Everbridge, in its sole discretion, shall continue the Service(s) hereunder for thirty (30) days (the “Grace Period”) in order to secure an executed renewal by Client, provided that Client shall pay to Everbridge the annual fee then in effect divided by twelve (12) (the “Monthly Holdover Fee”). The Grace Period is provided to Client as a courtesy so that Services will not be terminated prior to the execution of a renewal. Due to insurance and liability reasons Everbridge can only provide one Grace Period and will charge the Monthly Holdover Fee. The Monthly Holdover Fee is instituted in order to protect Client from termination or suspension of the Services, and to insure that timely renewals are entered into. Monthly Holdover Fees shall not be returned or refunded to the Client as a credit towards any renewal. Except as set forth in an applicable Quote, or unless this Agreement is terminated as provided herein, upon expiration of the term of any Quote, such Quote shall renew automatically for successive subsequent periods of twelve (12) months unless either party notifies the other party of its intent to terminate at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then current term. Everbridge reserves the right to increase its fees in any Renewal Term by three percent (3%). With respect to any renewals which are signed by Client after the previous term’s expiration date, Everbridge reserves the right to increase its fees in such Renewal Term by five percent (5%). Everbridge may employ the foregoing price increases if Everbridge notifies Client at least ninety (90) days prior to the commencement of the applicable Renewal Term. 5. TERMINATION; SUSPENSION. 5.1 Termination by Either Party. Either Party may terminate this Agreement upon the other Party's material breach of this Agreement, provided that (i) the non-breaching Party sends written notice to the breaching Party describing the breach in reasonable detail; (ii) the breaching Party does not cure the breach within thirty (30) days following its receipt of such notice (the "Notice Period"); and (iii) following the expiration of the Notice Period, the non-breaching Party sends a second written notice indicating its election to terminate this Agreement. 5.2 Termination or Suspension for Non-Payment. If Client fails to pay any amounts due within thirty (30) days of their due date, Everbridge may terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30 days’ prior written notice to Client. Termination for non- payment shall not relieve Client of its outstanding obligations (including payment) under this Agreement. In lieu of termination for non-payment, Everbridge may suspend Client’s access to the Solutions upon written notice to Client. 5.3 Termination for Non-Appropriation. If no funds are appropriated or otherwise made legally available to make the required payments for a Renewal Term (an “Event of Non- Appropriation”), this Agreement will terminate at the end of the then current service year so long as Client provides at least thirty (30) days’ written notice prior to the Renewal Term beginning. The failure or inability of the Client to appropriate funds for any Renewal Term shall not be deemed a breach of this Agreement. 5.4 Suspension. Everbridge may suspend Client’s access to the Solutions or any portion thereof for (i) emergency network repairs, threats to, or actual breach of network security; or (ii) any legal, regulatory, or governmental prohibition affecting the Solution. Everbridge shall use its best efforts to notify Client through its Client Portal and/or via email prior to such suspension and shall reactivate any affected portion of the Service as soon as possible. 6. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS. 6.1 Grant of License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Everbridge hereby grants to Client, during the term of this Agreement, a limited, non-exclusive, non- transferable, non-sublicensable right to use the Service. 6.2 Restrictions.

WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, IN NO EVENT SHALL EVERBRIDGE HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR PERSONAL INJURY (INCLUDING DEATH) OR PROPERTY DAMAGE ARISING FROM FAILURE OF THE SERVICE TO DELIVER AN ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION, HOWEVER CAUSED AND UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, EVEN IF EVERBRIDGE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE. 8.3 SMS Transmission. CLIENT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE USE OF SHORT MESSAGING SERVICES (“SMS”), ALSO KNOWN AS TEXT MESSAGING, AS A MEANS OF SENDING MESSAGES INVOLVES A REASONABLY LIKELY POSSIBILITY FROM TIME TO TIME OF DELAYED, UNDELIVERED, OR INCOMPLETE MESSAGES AND THAT THE PROCESS OF TRANSMITTING SMS MESSAGES CAN BE UNRELIABLE AND INCLUDE MULTIPLE THIRD PARTIES THAT PARTICIPATE IN THE TRANSMISSION PROCESS, INCLUDING MOBILE NETWORK OPERATORS AND INTERMEDIARY TRANSMISSION COMPANIES. ACCORDINGLY, EVERBRIDGE RECOMMENDS THAT SMS MESSAGING NOT BE USED AS THE SOLE MEANS OF COMMUNICATION IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. 9. INDEMNIFICATION. 9.1 By Client. Client shall defend, indemnify and hold Everbridge harmless against any loss or damage (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with any third party claim, suit or proceeding (“Claim”) arising out of any data sent, posted or otherwise transmitted via the Service by Client or Contacts, or any breach by Client of Sections 3 or 6. 9.2 By Everbridge. Everbridge shall defend, indemnify and hold Client harmless from and against any Claim against Client alleging that the Solution as contemplated hereunder infringes an issued patent or other IP Right in a country in which the Solution is provided to Client. If (x) any aspect of the Service is found or, in Everbridge’s reasonable opinion is likely to be found, to infringe upon the IP Right of a third party or (y) the continued use of the Service is enjoined, then Everbridge will promptly and at its own cost and expense at its option: (i) obtain for Client the right to continue using the Service; (ii) modify such aspect of the Service so that it is non-infringing; or (iii) replace such aspect of the Service with a non-infringing functional equivalent. If, after all commercially reasonable efforts, Everbridge determines in good faith that options (i) - (iii) are not feasible, Everbridge will remove the infringing items from the Service and refund to Client on a pro-rata basis any prepaid unused fees paid for such infringing element. The remedies set forth in this Section 9.2 are Client’s exclusive remedy for Claims for infringement of an IP Right. Everbridge shall have no obligation or liability for any claim pursuant to this Section to the extent arising from: (i) the combinations, operation, or use of the Service supplied under this Agreement with any product, device, 4 or software not supplied by Everbridge to the extent the combination creates the infringement; (ii) the unauthorized alteration or modification by Client of the Service; or (iii) Everbridge’s compliance with Client's designs, specifications, requests, or instructions pursuant to an engagement for Everbridge Professional Services relating to the Service to the extent the claim of infringement is based on the foregoing. 9.3 Indemnification Process. The indemnifying party’s obligations under this Section 9 are contingent upon the indemnified party (a) promptly giving notice of the Claim to the indemnifying party once the Claim is known; (b) giving the indemnifying party sole control of the defense and settlement of the Claim (provided that the indemnifying party may not settle such Claim unless such settlement unconditionally releases the indemnified party of all liability and does not adversely affect the indemnified party’s business or service); and (c) providing the indemnifying party all available information and reasonable assistance. 10. LIABILITY LIMITS. To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither Party shall have any liability to the other Party for any indirect, special, incidental, punitive, or consequential damages, however caused, under any theory of liability, and whether or not the Party has been advised of the possibility of such damage. Except for its indemnification obligations under Section 9.2, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Everbridge’s aggregate liability, regardless of whether any action or claim is based on warranty, contract, tort, indemnification or otherwise, exceed amounts paid or due by Client to Everbridge hereunder during the 12-month period prior to the event giving rise to such liability. The foregoing limitations shall apply even if the non-breaching party’s remedies under this Agreement fail their essential purpose. 11. MISCELLANEOUS. 11.1 Non-Solicitation. As additional protection for Everbridge’s proprietary information, for so long as this Agreement remains in effect, and for one year thereafter, Client agrees that it shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit, hire or attempt to solicit any employees of Everbridge; provided, that a general solicitation to the public for employment is not prohibited under this section. 11.2 Force Majeure; Limitations. Everbridge shall not be responsible for performance under this Agreement to the extent precluded by circumstances beyond Everbridge’s reasonable control, including without limitation acts of God, acts of government, flood, fire, earthquakes, civil unrest, acts of terror, labor problems, regional technology interruptions, or denial of service attacks. The Service delivers information for supported Contact paths to public and private networks and carriers, but Everbridge cannot guarantee delivery of the information to the recipients. Final delivery of information to recipients is dependent on and is the responsibility of the designated public and private networks or carriers. 11.3 Waiver; Severability. The failure of either Party hereto to enforce at any time any of the provisions or terms of this Agreement shall in no way be considered to be a waiver of such provisions. If any provision of this Agreement is found by any court or other authority of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that provision shall, to the extent required, be deemed deleted or revised, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect to the maximum extent possible so as to give effect to the intent of the parties. 11.4 Assignment. Neither party may assign this Agreement to any third party except upon the other Party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, that no such consent shall be required in the event of an assignment to an Affiliated Entity or to a successor-in-interest to the business of the assigning Party resulting from a merger, reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all such Party’s assets. Notwithstanding the above, neither Party shall assign this Agreement to any third party which is a competitor of the other Party. 11.5 Governing Law; Attorney’s Fees. This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflicts of laws rules. The U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply. The prevailing party in any action arising out of this Agreement shall be entitled to its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. 11.6 Notices. Legal notices (e.g., claimed breach or termination) to be provided under this Agreement shall be delivered in writing (a) in person, (b) by nationally recognized overnight delivery service, or (c) by U.S. certified or first class mail to the other party as set forth on the signature page hereto.

This Agreement shall not be modified or amended except by a writing signed by both Parties. ANY NEW TERMS OR CHANGES INTRODUCED IN A PURCHASE ORDER OR OTHER DOCUMENT ARE VOID AND OF NO FORCE OR EFFECT.

Each Party agrees to be bound by its digital or electronic signature, whether transmitted by fax machine, in the form of an electronically scanned image (e.g., in .pdf form), by email, or by other means of e-signature technology, and each Party agrees that it shall accept the signature of the other Party transmitted in such a manner.
