Explanation
Background
A. Need: The Division of Police needs to exercise the option of purchasing from Sagem Morpho, Inc. (CT#13742 & CT#15893) the fifth and final term from the 5-year maintenance and support agreement to continue support for another 1-year maintenance term, in order to continue to maintain the Automated Identification Management System (AIMS). The total cost for this term is $176,181.32.
B. Bid Information: The Division of Police initiated an extensive Request For Proposal process in 1991 to purchase the AIMS, which includes the Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS). Based on established evaluation criteria, Sagem Morpho was awarded the contract March 10, 1992. The provisions for the renewed maintenance contract (ord. #1245-99, passed 6-7-99) provided for 5, 1-year renewable terms and associated maintenance hardware upgrades and associated costs. This purchase is for the fifth term and associated costs.
C. Contract Compliance No: 33-0154789
D. Emergency Designation: Emergency legislation is requested for this ordinance so as to allow for the funds to become available for the renewal and modification of the maintenance contract for the continued operation of the AFIS system for Division of Police. Need is critical due to the fact that the current term of the maintenance contract expired February 29, 2003, and that the fifth term needs to be purchased to maintain normal operations.
2. FISCAL IMPACT:
This purchase of $176,181.32 for the 2003 term is from funds identified, appropriated and budgeted for this purpose in the 2003 General Fund Budget.
Title
