Body
The Innovation and Technology, Police and Fire Department have determined the need for enhancements to our Mark43 (Network Security, CAD, RMS and Analytics Software). As there are no manufacturers other than Mark43 software, Mark43 is the sole vendor that is capable of providing enhancements to their proprietary software.
The Contract is for a 5 1/2 year term to run in concurrence with our existing Mark 43 contract for an estimated amount of $265,000.00.
Under Section 2-689 of the Procurement Code, entitled “Sole Source Procurement” authorizes an award without competitive bids when there is only one source available to fulfill the needs of the city.
Recommended Action
That the City Commission accepts the recommendation and authorizes the City Manager to authorize the Police Department to purchase these enhancements for an estimated amount of $265,000 for a term of 5 1/2 years pursuant to Section 2-689 of the City's Procurement Code.
