The County of Fresno, on behalf of the Department of Social Services, was soliciting bids to establish an agreement for a lone worker monitoring alarm system. The system would monitor employees while working alone and contact a monitoring center in the event of an emergency. The contract was cancelled. Key features of the system included a Key-Fob device and a smartphone application that collect real-time data.
• The system would provide a safety mechanism for social workers who face unique vulnerabilities at work.
• The system would include a monitoring center that would be contacted in the event of an emergency.
• The contract was cancelled, and no vendor was awarded the contract.
