TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager to execute the Eighteenth Amendment to Agreement No. 23214 with CompuDyne - Public Safety and Justice, Inc., and all related documents, to provide annual software maintenance in an amount not to exceed $292,375. (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 is 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 15, 2007 and Budget and Performance Management Bureau Manager David Wodynski on February 16, 2007.
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
City Council action is requested on March 6, 2007, as the current maintenance agreement expired on February 28, 2007.
FISCAL IMPACT
The annual maintenance cost will not exceed $292,375, payable quarterly. Sufficient funds have been budgeted in the General Services Fund (IS 385) in the Technology Services Department (TS) for the three quarterly payments due in FY 07. The last payment will be made with FY 08 funds.
