With modern law enforcement constantly evolving and requiring officers to adapt to new challenges, technologies and legal developments, Performa-Labs has produced a one-of-a-kind training software that is developed and produced solely by them.  The training software is POST approved and will be utilized for all sworn Police personnel.

Performa Labs utilizes real-life body worn camera footage to create POST-approved training videos that cover a variety of topics, including de-escalation and use of force.  This training will provide our officers with cutting-edge resources that will enable them to develop and refine their skills to effectively address the ever-evolving challenges they encounter in the line of duty.  The programs offer unique features and benefits that align seamlessly with our Department’s specific training requirements.

Pursuant to Garden Grove Municipal Code Section 2.50.060(c) and (f), it is recommended that the City Council approve award of the contract as a sole source being that the software and services can only be obtained from the vendor and the contract is for professional services to be let based on the vendor's qualifications.

Total cost under this agreement shall not exceed the amount of Ninety Four Thousand Six Hundred Dollars ($94,600) for the first fiscal year; Performa-Labs waived the initial implementation cost of $13,760.

After expiration of the initial one (1)-year subscription term, the agreement will automatically renew for additional one (1)-year terms unless the City delivers to Performa written notice of termination at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then-current term.

The initial term of this agreement will be funded by a combination of available asset forfeiture and POST funding sources; there will be no burden on the General Fund. Alternative funding sources may be pursued in subsequent fiscal years.

It is recommended that the City Council:

•  Approve an agreement with Performa-Labs for subscription-based training courses in the amount of $94,600 per year;

• Authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement, and make minor modifications as appropriate thereto; and

• Authorize the City Manager to execute future amendments to the contract, including the authorization to enter into options years, provided sufficient funds are available.
