RECOMMENDED ACTION
Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and the
Clerk of the Council to execute an amendment to the agreement with
Northrop Grumman Public Safety, Inc. to provide software maintenance and
support for patrol officers' laptop computers in an amount not to exceed
$52,000 for a one year term.
DISCUSSION
In 1997, the Police Department was awarded a federal "COPS MORE" grant to
purchase laptop computers for patrol officers. The Northrop Grumman Public
Safety, Inc. (PSI) automated field reporting software installed in the
laptops enables the computers to link with the Police Department's Computer
Aided Dispatch (CAD) system. This link permits the laptops to send and
receive messages, calls for service, emergency traffic, and information
regarding wants and warrants. Additionally, the software allows officers
to complete their police reports on their laptops while still in the field.
The PSI software is proprietary and can only be serviced by Northrop
Grumman. The one-year service agreement amendment will provide
maintenance, upgrades, and support for the software.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available in the Police Department's Computer Systems Other
Contractual Services account (account no. 011-338-6291).
