Explanation
BACKGROUND:
This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Department of Technology, on behalf of the Department of Public Safety, Division of Police, to enter into a sole source contract with Motorola Solutions, Inc. for the ongoing maintenance and support services for the PremierOne Records system for one year, from January 1, 2027, through December 31, 2027, at a cost of $362,015.00.
In 2002, the Division of Police purchased and implemented a computerized Ohio Incident Based Reporting System/National Incident Based Reporting System (OIBRS/NIBRS), for offense and complaint/incident reports. NIBRS is a set of rules set forth by the federal government to be followed by local and state agencies when reporting crime statistics. It assures all law enforcement agencies report crime data using the same data makers, types, and descriptors, as well as the same reporting methods, which enhances the FBI's ability to analyze the incoming statistics. In 2014, the data migration from the legacy records management system (NetRMS) to the Motorola PremierOne Records Computerized Crime Data Reporting System allowed for the data to be housed in one system.
PremierOne Records is a proprietary system from Motorola Solutions, Inc., the sole provider and copyright holder. As such, the City must purchase annual support and maintenance from Motorola Solutions, Inc. For this reason, this ordinance is being submitted in accordance with the provisions of sole source procurement of the City of Columbus Code, Chapter 329.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This ordinance authorizes the continuation of maintenance and support services, from Motorola Solutions, Inc., at a cost of $362,015.00. Funds have been identified and are available within the 2026 Department of Technology, direct charge agency, Information Services Operating Fund.
