TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager to execute the Nineteenth Amendment and any subsequent amendments to Agreement No. 23214 with CompuDyne-Public Safety & Justice, Inc., to provide annual software maintenance services in an amount not to exceed $288,895. (Citywide)
DISCUSSION
On October 5,1993, the City Council authorized Agreement No. 23214 for the purchase of Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) and Records Management System (RMS) software and maintenance for the Police and Fire Departments. The system is used to process calls for service from the public and manage field resources. The calls for service and field activity data captured by CAD and RMS are also used for planning activities relative to staffing, crime analysis, and homeland security. The Long Beach Airport also uses CAD to support its security operations. Additionally, the Signal Hill Police Department uses CAD and RMS to support its public safety operations by means of a contract with the Long Beach Police Department.
Per Agreement No. 23214 and its Amendments, software support and maintenance must be renewed annually for as long as the City continues to use the software.
This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Gary J. Anderson on February 11, 2008, and by Budget Management Officer Victoria Bell on February 15, 2008.
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
[City Council action is requested on March 4, 2008 because the current maintenance agreement expired on February 28, 2008.
FISCAL IMPACT
Software maintenance costs for the 12-month period will not exceed $288,895. Sufficient funds have been budgeted in the General Services Fund (IS 385) and in the Technology Services Department (TS) to support this activity.
SUGGESTED ACTION
Approve recommendation.
Respectfully Submitted,
Curtis Tani
Director of Technology Services
