Explanation

Need: To authorize and direct the Director of Public Safety, Division of Police, to enter into contract with LexisNexis Risk & Information Analysis to allow instant computer access to their database (Accurint) for investigative purposes enabling better, more efficient searches for police personnel. In addition, these database functions are within the constraints of police technical services' requirements. $34,020.00 will be expended on this contract in 2007. This ordinance is to authorize the continued service beginning in March 2008.

The Division of Police is requesting waiving competitive bid process so that there is no interruption in service.

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.
