SUMMARY 
The Everbridge system was procured in 2013 via a competitive procurement for a Port-wide
emergency notification system. It is used extensively by Emergency Preparedness, Aviation
Operations, Police and Fire Departments, and Information and Communications Technology (ICT)
to notify targeted groups or mass audiences of operational issues, support call-outs, or
emergency information. The system enables Port and external individuals to set up multiple
contact options and captures responses to track successful notifications. Over the last nine years,
the Port has significantly enhanced workflows for efficient communication within the Everbridge
system that supports monthly usage comprised of approximately 500 notifications to over 67,000
recipients. 
This authorization will extend the current contract through October 2027. Annual costs are
budgeted in the ICT Operating Budget.
