Explanation
Need: The Division of Police needs to purchase three hundred (300) Panasonic Toughbook Computers and one hundred ninety (190) sets of mounts for the new police cruisers arriving now and for outfitting other police agencies within the metropolitan area. The Division of Police has installed over eighty (80) of these computers in our current fleet and have standardized for installation, service, warranty and training reasons that this is the only computer used in City of Columbus Police cruisers.

Bid Information: State of Ohio has established STS534050 which expires 6/30/2009 with Insight Public Sector, Inc. for this exact equipment. In addition, there are only two nationally authorized resellers of this type of Panasonic computer and Insight Public Sector, Inc. is one of them and is local supplier with field personnel and expertise to support our needs; therefore the Division of Police is requesting this contract be entered into in accordance with sole source procurement. Quotation was obtained from Insight Public Sector based on the state contract.

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: 363949000, Expires 04/04/2010

Emergency Designation: Emergency legislation is requested for this ordinance so that the new police cruisers will be fully functional and street ready as soon as possible.

FISCAL IMPACT:
