Explanation

Need: The Department of Public Safety Division of Police needs to purchase an additional upgrade of its existing Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS). This major project has been underway since 2001. The extensive efforts to identify the best technology to collaboratively match the area needs has received both local and national support. The purchase and maintenance of the AFIS upgrade has received 2004 funding from a Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) Grant and a State Homeland Grant Sub-Recipient Award. Addition Federal Fiscal Year 2005 BJA grant funding has been awarded for the project to include electronic storage of palm prints, fast ID, a new upgraded server and 4 new workstations.

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

Contract Compliance No.: 33-0154789

Emergency Designation: Emergency legislation is necessary to expedite the purchase of the additional AFIS upgrade. The vendor's work scheduling openings and the grant funding periods all need the acquisition and fiscal processing of the purchase to proceed as soon as possible.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There will be no impact on the financial status of the General Fund Account. Grant funding will reimburse the purchase of this upgrade.
