ITEM 40
City Council Memorandum Police Memo No. N/A
Date:
August 18, 2022
To:
Mayor and Council
Thru:
Joshua H. Wright, City Manager
Sean Duggan, Police Chief
From:
Zachary Cummard, Police Lieutenant
Subject:
Purchase of Mobile Communication Services
Proposed Motion:
Move City Council approve the purchase of mobile communication services, from AT&T FirstNet, utilizing the State of Arizona Contract No. CTR052804, in an amount not to exceed $96,000.
Background/Discussion:
Mobile cellular devices are central to both communication and information practices police officers use in the field to perform their daily functions. These devices are issued to all sworn personnel and must be in their possession during working hours. The importance of these devices properly working and communicating is critical to an officer's ability to maintain contact with citizens and other department personnel, plan for and prevent the commission of criminal activity, and access investigative tools and resources for the efficient management of police investigations. The use of these cellular devices allow for officers to physically spend more time in their designated assignments and be more readily available for emergency calls for service.
For resiliency purposes, wireless data services are bifurcated between multiple service providers. This item will continue the procurement of wireless data services from AT&T to maintain this functionality in Police Department vehicles and department-issued devices.
Evaluation:
The State of Arizona competitively solicited and awarded a contract for carrier and broadband services. The City has a current agreement with the State allowing for the cooperative use of the State's contracts. The term of the State's contract is valid through August 11, 2024.
