INTER-DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM
| To: | Scott C. Stiles
| From: | Tom DaRé
| | Dept.: | City Manager
| Dept.: | Police
| | Subject: | Appropriation of funds and approval of an Amendment to the Agreement with Axon Enterprises, Inc., for the purchase of additional equipment for the Police Department. (Cost: $82,663.78) (Action Item) | Date: | 2/25/2020 |
|
| | | | | | | | OBJECTIVE
To gain City Council approval to appropriate funds and amend the contract with Axon Enterprises, Inc., (Axon) for the purchase of additional equipment for the Police Department. |
| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND
On February 12, 2019, City Council approved a five-year contract with Axon for the purchase of body worn cameras (BWCs), fleet cameras (IVS), and software user licenses (PO 159852). |
| | | | | | | | DISCUSSION
As a result of the passage of Measure O, in July 2019, City Council approved additional sworn and civilian positions for the Department. Now that those positions are being filled, and with the recent implementation of the Community Impact Team, the Department will not have enough BWCs and docking stations by March of 2020, and will run out of user licenses by July 2020. Therefore, the Department will need to purchase additional equipment and user licenses to accommodate anticipated growth and Department hiring needs, which will be reevaluated in mid-2021.
The Department is requesting to add 22 additional BWCs, five (5) docking stations, and 14 user licenses to the current five-year contract, to accommodate the Department’s sworn authorized strength of 182 officers, as well as spare BWCs should any have to be sent in for repair. |
| | | | | | | | FINANCIAL IMPACT
The total cost for this purchase is approximately $83,000, which will be spread over five budget years. Appropriations in the fiscal year 2019-20 adopted budget will cover the year-one cost of approximately $26,180 for the purchase of BWCs, docks, insurance, and user licenses; General Fund appropriations in the amount of approximately $14,121 per year will need to be made for years two through five of the contract amendment. |
| | | | | | | | RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
- Approve an amendment to the agreement with Axon Enterprise, Inc. in the amount of $82,663.78;
- Appropriate funds for years two through five of the contract amendment; and
- Authorize the City Manager to execute the amendment on behalf of the City, and make minor modifications as appropriate thereto.
