SUMMARY
The City entered into an agreement with 3Di Systems in May of 2017 to use its myFD Brush Inspection/Weed Abatement software for Hayward’s wildfire fuel management inspection program. The Fire Department piloted the program during the 2018 fire season and is continuing the program during the 2019 season. The 3Di platform has successfully reduced staff time and increased customer experience by eliminating paperwork and adding a customer interface. Staff is requesting Council authorization to extend the service agreement through April 20, 2023. The cost is $60,000 a year, which has been already been incorporated into the City’s Information Technology budget.
