Explanation

Need: The Department of Public Safety Division of Police upgraded its existing Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) in 2005. It is imperative for the Division of Police to maintain this technology which is crucial for fingerprint identification. The current maintenance contract ended in May 2007. The maintenance support of the AFIS system will be $335,675.54 annually. This ordinance is requesting funding for second six months of maintenance from June 2007 through November 2007 in the total amount of $177,421.41.

Bid Information: The proprietary nature of AFIS technology and the prohibitive cost of conversion to a different system mandate the maintenance contract to our current system be purchased from the sole source provider of the existing proprietary system, Sagem Morpho, Inc.

This company is not debarred according to the Federal excluded parties listing or prohibited from being awarded a contract according to the Auditor of State unresolved findings for recovery certified search.

Contract Compliance No.: 33-0154789, expires 08/15/2009

Emergency Designation: Emergency legislation is necessary to expedite the payment of the maintenance contract since the current contract ended in May 2007.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approximately $172,000 was budgeted in the Police General Fund for a one year agreement.
