DISCUSSION The Police Department and other technology supporting units currently employ wireless data communications to link officers in the field with computerized systems. These systems allow officers to obtain critical information faster and in visual format which greatly assists them in the performance of their duties. The wireless links also enable field-based officers to submit reports and other administrative documentation without leaving the field. This is an officer safety tool and facilitates the productivity of patrol/policing activities. The Police Department has experienced continuing connectivity problems with the services provided by the current vendor. After extensive field testing, the Police Department has requested a change to services provided by Verizon Wireless Data Services. The City qualifies to join a competitively bid cooperative purchasing agreement under the California Wireless Contract (CWC). As a member, the State of California extends eligibility to join to cities in the state. This agreement with Verizon Wireless provides extremely competitive pricing with protections on future price increases. The City may terminate at any time, without penalty, with 30 days notice. 25D-1 Agreement with Verizon Wireless Data Services December 6, 2010 Page 2 FISCAL IMPACT Funds are budgeted and are available in the FY10-11 Communication Services account for contractual services (account no. 10210140-62010). )?L Paul M.
