Title
Resolution relative to accepting the proposal of CalAmp for furnishing and delivering GPS equipment for the monitoring and tracking of City vehicles for an annual sum of $34,560
Body
WHEREAS, in November of 2015 the Common Council approved a resolution to implement a GPS tracking system for the City from CalAmp Wireless Networks Corp. The contract term was three years with an annual fee of about $35,000, varying slightly based on the number of vehicles being monitored. The contract had a provision that after the 3 year term, West Allis would have the right to renew our subscription annually under the same cost structure; and,
WHEREAS, West Allis has chosen to renew our annual subscription with CalAmp each year since the contract has come to term. Approving this resolution will extend our GPS tracking capability until February of 2021; and,
WHEREAS, there is a cost savings idea in front of the Structural Deficit Work Group to discontinue the GPS tracking solution for the City. Should that group elect to discontinue GPS tracking for the City, those monies will be pulled from the 2021 IT General account budget request.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Mayor and Common Council of the City of West Allis that the quote dated February 20th, 2020 for renewing our subscription to our GPS tracking solution from CalAmp for an annual fee of $34,560 be and is hereby accepted. This purchase will be charged to Account Number 100-1101-517.32-01, General Fund, IT Department, Computer Equip/Software.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Finance Department - Purchasing Division be and is hereby authorized to enter into a contract for the aforesaid services.
