City Council Report  
 
Date: 
September 14, 2026 
To: 
City Council  
Through: 
Michael Kennington, Deputy City Manager/Chief Financial Officer 
From: 
Edward Quedens, Business Services Director 
 
Kristy Garcia, Procurement Administrator 
Subject: 
Five-Year Use of a Cooperative Term Contract for Information Technology 
(IT) Temporary and Professional Services for the Mesa Police Department 
(Citywide) 
 
Recommendation 
 
Council is requested to approve the award as recommended. 
 
The Mesa Police Department and Procurement Services recommend authorizing the 
purchase using the Omnia Partners cooperative contract with Insight Global, LLC in an 
amount not to exceed $260,000 annually, with an annual increase allowance of up to 5% or 
the adjusted Consumer Price Index.   
 
Background / Discussion 
 
This contract will provide a dedicated Technical Account Manager (TAM) to support body-
worn camera redaction and digital evidence sharing. The TAM will be on-site four days a 
week and will assist with ongoing system set up and configuration, account maintenance, 
data analysis and reporting, and provide technical assistance. The Mesa Police 
Department currently fills these roles through Axon, which has discontinued this temporary 
staffing function and transferred it to Insight Global, LLC. Transitioning the functions 
preserves program knowledge and prevents a gap in support for body-worn camera and 
digital evidence redaction operations.   
 
The Omnia Partners cooperative contract has been competitively bid and meets the City’s 
procurement requirements. Utilizing the Omnia Partners contract allows the City to receive 
competitive rates based on a formally solicited agreement. The City believes the pricing is 
fair and reasonable and soliciting for these services would not result in the City receiving 
more favorable pricing or terms.
