Explanation

BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to issue a purchase order for telephone services to AT&T for the Division of Police. These phone services are used in Police facilities for both voice and data services.

Bid Information: The Purchasing Office has set up universal term contract FL004566 with AT&T for these telephone services.

AT & T is not debarred according to the excluded party listing system of the Federal Government or prohibited from being awarded a contract according to the Auditor of State Unresolved Findings for Recovery Certified Search.

Contract Compliance: 363258076 - expires 5/8/2011

Emergency Designation: Emergency action is requested to ensure these services can continue without interruption.


FISCAL IMPACT: The Division of Police budgeted $265,000.00 in the 2010 General Fund operating budget for services from AT & T. The Division spent and/or encumbered approximately $270,000 in 2009 for these services, and $180,000 thus far in 2010. This ordinance authorizes an additional $85,000 in services with AT & T, per projections included in the third quarter financial review.
