RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council authorize the purchase of these microphones from the sole source vendor, Integrian, d/b/a DP Technologies, in the amount of$30,980. BACKGROUND The Police Department currently has a total of 64 digital video systems in marked squads. Thirty-six of the systems are four years old. The systems have dissimilar audio recording systems due to a change in technology since the original systems were first purchased. There has now been developed a system for these units that is more robust and more user friendly. The primary benefit is the ability of the new microphones to be automatically recognized by the camera system at the start of the officer's shift. This will address a serious on-going issue that has resulted in a lack of audio on several traffic stops. The use of dissimilar equipment causes confusion and reduces the reliability of these systems. The video camera systems have again and again proven to be extremely valuable to the Department, both for information on the arrested subject's behavior and on our officer's behavior. It is important that we protect the integrity of these systems to insure their continued use and reliability. The original equipment required that the microphones be exchanged from officer to officer as they change cars. This has led to missing microphones and mis-matched microphones, rending then unusable until a technician re-tunes the systems. The proposed microphones will allow the department to issue a microphone to each member of the Patrol Division. Each officer will be responsible for the microphone and it's proper use and care. They will only need to "sync" the microphone with the camera system in their assigned cars. I Purchase of Microphones from Integrian Inc. "' November 23, 2005 Page 2 It is anticipated that this enhancement will lead to a higher use of the audio portion of the systems and reduce their down time for repairs of the systems. This will also standardize the systems. This equipment is proprietary and is only available from Integrian d/b/a DP Technologies, Inc. The purchase therefore qualifies as a sole source procurement. COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED None yit FINANCIAL IMPACT The cost of the microphone purchase from Integrian totals $30,980. There are funds budgeted and available ($12,246) in the Bureau of Justice Block Grant Fund, account number 252-0000- 791.92-50, "Capital Additions-Office Equipment," and the Riverboat Fund ($18,754), account number 275-0000-791.92-46, "Capital Additions-Other Equipment,"project number 239546. As a result of this purchase, no monies will be remaining in all of the Federal Local Enforcement Block Grants. LEGAL IMPACT /1 /None V ALTERNATIVES 1. The City Council may direct the department to forgo this expenditure and continue to operate with the dissimilar equipment. 2. The City Council may direct the department to bid this equipment. Respectfully submitted for Council consideration. jjb Attachment(s)
