6. SUMMARY AGENDA TITLE: (A concise sentence, as it will appear on the Council agenda. )
Increasing the contract to upgrade the Fire Department's computer aided dispatch system with Northrop
Grumman Information Technology Inc. by $50,907.34 to a total of $629,399.86.
7. BACKGROUND INFORMATioN/GENERAL DISCUSSION: (Why is this request necessary? Are there legal
requirements? What are the viable alternatives? Who has been involved in the process?)
In 2006, the City Council approved a contract totaling $578,492.52 with Northrop Grumman Information
Technology Inc., to complete a major upgrade of the Fire Department's Computer Aided Dispatch
System (CADS). The CADS upgrade will enable the department to dispatch emergency units based
upon real time polling of unit locations instead of station locations and will provide mapping and
emergency route recommendations for emergency units.
The contract was proposed originally by the vendor as a professional services contract, without including
sales tax. Subsequently, Fire staff learned the contract should have been treated by the vendor as a
software purchase agreement including sales tax. Consequently, staff is now requesting an increase of
$50,907.34 to pay sales tax on the original contract amount.
