RECOMMENDED ACTION
Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and the
Clerk of the Council to renew the agreement with Northrop Grumman Public
Safety, Inc. to provide basic software maintenance and support for the
Police Department's computer aided dispatch system in an annual amount not
to exceed $75,000.
DISCUSSION
The Police Department entered into a one-year maintenance agreement with
four one-year renewal options with Northrop Grumman Public Safety, Inc.
(PSI) in September 2003 to provide maintenance services for computer
software and equipment for the Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) system. The
CAD is the primary data communication tool for exchanging information
between police dispatchers and patrol officers who provide emergency
response to our community. The ability to continue to provide specialized
maintenance on this system is critical to the overall effectiveness of
police service. The PSI software is proprietary and can only be serviced
by Northrop Grumman Public Safety, Inc. Police Department staff recommends
the renewal of the agreement for continued maintenance, upgrades, and
support for the CAD software.
