BACKGROUND:

In November 2014 Environmental Code Enforcement started utilizing GPS tracking systems for each officer employed. This caused an increase to their monthly Verizon Wireless communications bill. The department would like to request a change order in the amount of $20,000 to cover the fees for this additional equipment. This would bring the total of the PO up to $60,000. Due to the complicated nature of wireless communication services, a collective interdepartmental effort is currently underway to bid this service utilizing the updated purchasing policies that went into effect in January 2015. This process is being organized by Mike Weaver, Public Safety Department Director. It is anticipated that the procurement process will be complete by the start of Fiscal Year 2016.

Funding is available in Code Enforcement Fund 103; Code Enforcement Cost Center 290101; Object Code 54101.
