13. SOLE SOURCE CONTRACT TO NORTHROP-GRUMMAN IT, INC. FOR SUPPORT AND MAINTENANCE OF THE COMPUTER AIDED DISPATCH SYSTEM AND COMMANDPOINT MOBILE SOFTWARE APPLICATION Approve a sole source contract to Northrop-Grumman IT, INC. for the support and maintenance of their computer aided dispatch (CAD) system and CommandPoint mobile software application for use in MCSO patrol cars. The term of this contract is October 1, 2009 through September 30, 2014, and its value is $425,087 over five years. This item is funded within the Sheriff's normal appropriation. The existing system was originally purchased in FY 1987-88, went "live" in July 1989, and there have been several system upgrades in the past twenty years. CAD software is proprietary, so no other vendors are available for support. The agreement would include support services for the existing Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) System and GDI Tools, including software programming changes and enhancements, and support for the CommandPoint Mobile Application. This item is subject to final legal review and approval of the contract. (C-50-10-030-M-00)
