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.

extended, staff recommends that the term of the City's participating addendum be extended as
well.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are budgeted and are available in the FY11-12 Communication Services account for
contractual services (account no. 10210140-62010).
