.Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Technology, on behalf of the Department of Public Safety, to modify and extend a contract with Public Safety Systems, Inc. (PSSI), for software support and maintenance associated with the Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) response system. The CAD system is utilized by the police dispatch facility and the fire alarm offices. The CAD allows these facilities to monitor, track and dispatch emergency and non-emergency data. PSSI provides telephone support services, upgrades to software and enhancements that support the CAD system's daily operations.
On June 12, 2000, Council approved and passed Ordinance 1420-00, which established the software support services provided by PSSI. This modification extends the previously legislated contract from June 12, 2004 through June 12, 2005 in the amount of $92,500.00.
FISCAL IMPACT: During fiscal year 2003 $48,500.00 was expended for software support service provided by PSSI. The total cost of this ordinance is $92,500.00 for the period of June 12, 2004 through June 12, 2005. Due to enhancements, upgrades and additional product installation in fiscal year 2003 to the CAD and Fire Records Management System (EMBRS) the cost for this year's service has increased. Funding is budgeted and available within the 2004 Department of Technology's internal services fund.
EMERGENCY: Emergency legislation is required to facilitate prompt execution and related payment for services.
