OF DIGITAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT
(DHD) SOFTWARE FROM TYLER
TECHNOLOGIES, INC. TO UPDATE AND
MODERNIZE FIRE INSPECTION
SOFTWARE
City Council Meeting
May 10, 2022
Paul Lowenthal, Fire Marshal 1
CURRENT
• The Fire Department performs annual
inspections and prevention inspections
for the City of Santa Rosa. The Fire
Department is also responsible for
inspecting and reporting to California
Environmental Reporting System (CERS).
Other local agencies have made the
move to the DHD software and have the
ability to electronically manage their
Prevention Departments.
2 PROPOSED
• Currently the Fire Department’s Prevention
Division is using multiple software programs
that do not interface, paper reporting
methods and manually entering inspections.
• This recommended system upgrade would
ensure the Fire Department’s ability to
manage the Prevention Division’s inspections
and CUPA program efficiently and successfully
with other City software and the CERS system.
3 RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended by the Fire and Finance departments
that the Council, by resolution, utilize the cooperative purchasing program in Section 3-08.160 of the City Code and approve and authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute a Software as a Service Agreement for Digital Health Department (DHD) software from Tyler
Technologies, Inc., Plano, Texas in an amount not to exceed $189,545 over 3 years to update and modernize
antiquated software used for Fire Department related
inspections and tracking compliance as required by state law.
