| TO: | City of New Port Richey City Council | | FROM: | Kim Bogart, Chief of Police | | DATE: | 12/20/2016 | | RE: | Request to Purchase NetMotion Software and Licenses |
REQUEST:
This request is for Council authorization to purchase NetMotion software licenses for police officers’ laptop computers at a cost of $23,996.19.
DISCUSSION:
Federal standards and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement require “two-factor authentication” over an encrypted VPN tunnel system for officers in the field to access the Florida Crime Information System (FCIC) and the National Crime Information System (NCIC). This software meets these protocols and security requirements for wireless installations. Its installation in our system will allow our officers to run FCIC/NCIC wants and warrants checks and access other crime data directly from the field without using voice communication to dispatchers.
The NetMotion software and licenses will be purchased through Florida Government State Contract #43230000-14-01 from CDW LLC, 200 N. Milwaukee Avenue, Vernon Hills, IL 60061.
RECOMMENDATION:
I recommend approval of the NetMotion software and licenses from CDW LLC at total cost of $23,996.19.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:
I am requesting authorization to use $22,419.23 in Federal Equitable Sharing Monies and $1,576.96 in State Forfeiture monies for this purchase. | | | |
