RECOMMENDATION

Panasonic Toughbook equipment for both Police and Fire in the amount of $422,007;
and

with DiscountCell, Inc. utilizing a NASPO Cooperative Agreement for CradlePoint in-car

Information Technology Fund by:

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Approval will replace the in-vehicle mobile data computer (MDC) hardware for public safety
vehicles last replaced in 2018. Computer replacements are on a 4-year lifecycle. Due to the
COVID pandemic and both the financial and capacity challenges, replacement cycles were
extended for technology replacements. The Fiscal Year 2024 budget anticipates a return to

technology replacement beginning with the replacement of computers that are five years or
older, restoring services and funding to pre-pandemic levels.
BACKGROUND
The City has used the Hexagon Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) and Mobile for Public Safety
(MPS) system since 2011. The CAD system will be going through a formal solicitation later in
the calendar year to either be upgraded or replaced. Regardless of the system chosen, staff
anticipates that this equipment being procured will be compatible, though will also not be a
limiting factor in the evaluation of eligible CAD systems for evaluation. The in-vehicle mobile
data computer (MDC) hardware supporting the MPS system on average has been upgraded on
a five-year cycle as manufacturers of this equipment only provide a warranty for up to 5-years.
After the 5-year warranty is up, the City has to pay out of pocket for any repairs or
replacements that might arise. The last MDC upgrade occurred in 2018 for Fire and 2019 for
Police. The MPS software components provide an integrated approach for dispatching. MPS
allows officers to respond to 911 calls with a map display showing location and best route to
scene. MPS also shows the location of other and nearby units. MPS allows officers to run plates
and look up persons of interest.
ANALYSIS
Based on compatibility, continuity, and past positive experience with the existing MDCs, staff is
recommending the authorization to purchase the desired equipment and warranty through a
cooperative purchase agreement. Three other price quotes were requested for this equipment,
and this was the best pricing received. During the last refresh back in 2018, other models of
hardware were evaluated and ultimately this provider was selected because of its proven
stability and reliability for our public safety staff.
During the last Fire/PD refresh in 2018-2019, the combined cost to replace the 94 MDCs was
$462,000. This replacement costs $422,000 for the replacement of 69 devices; this is $40,000
lower because we purchased 25 fewer MDCs for Fire. Fire will be using tablets instead of the
ruggedized MDCs for the rear of their vehicles for EMS, therefore, Fire MDCs will be replaced by
another manufacturer and are expected to be purchased at a late date.
FISCAL/RESOURCE IMPACT
A total of $590,808 of expenditures are anticipated as described previously in this
memorandum, which will be funded by the Information Technology Fund. The Information
Technology Fund is an internal service fund and collects allocations for the replacement of
equipment and technology for the City. The Information Technology Fund has sufficient
funding for the identified costs as replacement cycles are anticipated and planned for. A budget
amendment is needed as these costs were not identified by the Department or brought
forward as part of the annual budget process.

STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
Public Safety technical resources along with staff in the Information Technology Department
were consulted in order to provide the requirements for the replacement technology.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Council action on this item is not a project as defined by CEQA because the purchase of mobile
data computer hardware and software is a continuing administrative or maintenance activity.
