Body
Staff Recommends: Approval of the Attached Resolution.
Explanation:
The Department of Information Technology requires annual maintenance on the City’s Fire House Alerting Control Stations and Computer Aided Dispatch software.
On December 3, 2003, pursuant to Resolution R-2003-387, the City Commission authorized the appropriate City officials to execute agreements with Motorola, Inc. for the acquisition of Motorola 800MHz Radio Equipment and Computer Aided Dispatch Software and Radio System.
Over the past twelve (12) years, the City Commission has passed and adopted several resolutions for the annual maintenance of the City’s 800 MHz Radio Equipment and Computer Aided Dispatch Software and Radio System.
On November 17, 2014, the City Commission passed and adopted Resolution No. R-2014-343 which authorized the execution of an amendment to the maintenance agreement between Motorola Solutions, Inc.
The current agreement expires on September 30, 2015, and staff has determined that it is necessary to have Motorola continue to provide this maintenance service.
The attached agreement reflects the change to a consolidated E9-1-1 System and provides on-site maintenance only for the equipment and software required by the City’s Public Safety Users to connect to the Broward County Regional Communications Computer Aided Dispatch and Radio System for the period of October 1, 2015 through September 30, 2016.
This equipment and software is manufactured and maintained by Motorola.
The Director of Information Technology, along with the Chiefs of Police and Fire, and the Director of Procurement Services recommend that Motorola continue to maintain the City’s Motorola equipment and software.
Section 38.40(C)(8) of the City’s Purchasing Ordinance provides that purchases of, and contracts for, supplies or contractual services, when the City Commission declares by a five-sevenths affirmative vote that competitive bidding is not in the best interest of the City, are exempt from the competitive bidding process.
Funding for the service is budgeted annually in account 57.1345.00056.590.006441 in the amount of $79,566.00.
