Set Public Hearing For_ CONTINUED TO FILE NUMBER Authorize the City Manager and the Clerk of the Council to execute an amendment to the California Participating Addendum with Verizon Wireless Data Services under the Western States Contracting Alliance (WSCA) Master Agreement for Wireless Data Communications Services and Equipment through October 31, 2016, and an extension through October 31, 2019 if extended by WSCA and providing compensation of $110,000, annually, throughout the term of the agreement. 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. In order to support the additional requests for wireless data communication services, the current participating addendum with Verizon Wireless Data Services under a Master Agreement with the Western States Contracting Alliance (WSCA) must be amended. The State has negotiated with Verizon to extend the term of the Master Agreement. Staff recommends that the term of the City's Participating Agreement be modified to match the agreed term of the WSCA contract for Wireless Communication & Equipment. In addition to the extension of the term, the increased usage of services necessitates that total compensation be increased, bringing the maximum total not to exceed compensation of $110,000, annually, throughout the term of the agreement. 25J-1 Amendment to Agreement with Verizon Wireless Data Services November 19, 2012 Page 2 The City may terminate at any time, without penalty, with 30 days notice. It is anticipated that the current term will be further extended through October 31, 2019. If the master agreement is extended, staff recommends that the term of the City's participating addendum be extended as well.
