Good afternoon,

We have received notice regarding the ability to purchase equipment and software that supports teleworking/remote work. We have identified two options that we believe would improve the efficiency/effectiveness of CPS, especially on call staff.

1.       Home computers that can be used with SurfacePro. On Call workers could immediately respond from home and not have to come to the office.

2.       Computer fax software. On call workers could send assist requests from home with this software. However, we wanted to make sure this is considered “safe” if it includes PII.

Can you let us know the feasibility and cost for the above items?

The DCDL stated that these purchases do not have to be on our approved ADP and do not require a modified ADP. CARES funding would cover the expenses.

Thank you.

Linda Clements
