Resolution approving the Sole Source Purchase in the amount of $65,629 from FleetBoss Global Positioning Solutions Inc., 241 O'Brien Road, Fern Park, FL 32730 for equipment, activation services, and monitoring an additional 153 City vehicles operated by Cultural Services, Utilities, Fire, Public Works, Police, Neighborhood Services, Permits and Licensing, and Redevelopment with Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL). AVL systems are comprised of on-board vehicle tracking devices, cellular data connections, and a hosted software application. The software application provides supervisory personnel with a web based interface for viewing current and historical vehicle locations. This purchase will complete equipping the entire City fleet with AVL. The City administratively entered into a one year agreement with FleetBoss on February 8, 2013 which included ten optional one year renewal periods and the ability to terminate upon sixty days written notice. This purchase is considered sole source since the FleetBoss system houses institutional and historical data for departments served by the program that include Utilities, Public Works, Police and Fire. It is requested that the City Manager be authorized to exercise renewals for future years and expend funds for monitoring during these renewal periods, subject to budget approvals. Funding available in the Information Technology Fund.
Recommendation: Chief Financial Officer recommends adoption of the Resolution.
