Subject:
Title
Consider a resolution approving the purchase of the NICE Digital Recording System Upgrade, to include a new audio logging recording server, Inform 9 Professional software, and six screen recording licenses, from Motorola Solutions, for the Regional NETCOM Dispatch & Detention centers as well as the Criminal Investigation and Administrative Division of the Police Department; and authorizing the City Manager to execute all purchase documents relating thereto on behalf of the City of Keller, Texas.
Action Requested:
Consider a resolution approving the purchase of the NICE Digital Recording System Upgrade, in the total amount of $144,978, for the Regional NETCOM Dispatch & Detention centers as well as the Criminal Investigation and Administrative Division of the Police Department.
Background:
The current NETCOM NICE Recording System is at end of its useful life, lacking the ability to record digital information such as text messages and location data sent to NETCOM PSAP. Additionally, the current system is unable to integrate with the overdue phone upgrade to the Keller Police Department. The upgraded NICE Digital Recording System will integrate with the Keller Police Department’s upgraded phone system, upgraded CAD/RMS system, record digital information sent to NETCOM, and increase NETCOM’s overall service capabilities.
Financial Impact:
Savings in the current year Crime Control and Prevention District provide for the first portion of the equipment upgrade ($75,347). The proposed FY 2021-22 Crime Control and Prevention District budget includes funding for the remaining balance ($69,631) which includes the installation costs.
