TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: City Staff
SUBJECT: Request Council approval to amend purchase amount for
automated staffing software for Police and Fire Departments from
Principal Decision Systems, International (PDSI).
Introduction
This staff report recommends that the City Council amend the past approval of
the purchase of an automated staff scheduling and notification system for the
Police and Fire Departments, authorizing an increase of the purchase price to
$118,677.
Background
On October 12, 2004, the Council approved the $111,518 purchase of an
automated staff scheduling and notification system for the Police and Fire
Departments from PDSI (Contract No. 8400 CCS), using a recently awarded
Homeland Security Grant.
Discussion
Due to additional price discounts provided by PDSI, the available grant funds will
now also allow the pre-purchase of three years’ worth of software maintenance
(not previously included).
Budget/Financial Impact
The increase in the contract amount is $7,159. Funds for the purchase are
available in account C200607.589000.
Recommendations
It is recommended that the Council amend the past approval of the purchase of
an automated staff scheduling and notification system for the Police and Fire
Departments, authorizing an increase of the purchase price to $118,677.
