5. Reasons for Authority Cited:

Maintenance and immediate repair of Spok's XTEND E-911 hardware or software involves many technical and proprietary issues that preclude anyone else from performing on this system. The E-911 XTEND is the primary emergency notification response system that integrates the official government telephone system (938) and the Cadet Telephone system (515). This is an internal, West Point specific emergency notification system integrated into the official telephone system for all West Point reservation occupants to dial 911 to report serious, potentially life threatening
MICC Control No. West Point-2016-78< SAT. injuries, accidents, fires or other situations that require an immediate response from West Points
first responders. Emergency responders include personnel from the Military Police, West Point Fire Department and ambulance support from Keller Army Hospital. E-911 calls are processed by the Avaya and or Nortel telephone switches and an alert is sent to the Military Police for processing or forwarded to other appropriate emergency responders for immediate dispatch. Telephone (voice) contact is maintained by the Military Police or other emergency agency with the caller throughout the incident. Failure to do so may threaten to delay critical response from West Point emergency
service personnel to potential life threatening or other dangerous situations.
