City Council Report 
 
Date: 
January 26, 2026 
To: 
City Council 
Through: 
Michael Kennington, Deputy City Manager/Chief Financial Officer 
From: 
Edward Quedens, Business Services Director 
 
Kristy Garcia, Procurement Administrator 
Subject: 
Four-Year Term Contract with Six-One Year Renewal Options for an 
Enterprise Automatic Vehicle Locator (AVL) Telematics Solution for City- 
Owned Vehicles for Fleet Services and the Department of Innovation and 
Technology and Various City Departments (Citywide) 
 
Recommendation 
 
Council is requested to approve the award as recommended. 
 
A committee representing Fleet Services, the Department of Innovation and Technology 
and Procurement Services evaluated responses and recommend awarding the contract to 
the highest scored proposal from LB Technology, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $221,000 
for Year 1 and an amount not to exceed $201,000 annually for Years 2-10, with an annual 
increase allowance of up to 5% or the adjusted Consumer Price Index.   
 
Background / Discussion 
 
This contract establishes a unified platform for Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) to 
standardize vehicle tracking and telematics data gathering for city-owned vehicles. The 
platform also embraces and implements “Application Rationalization” which aims to 
streamline technologies, a primary goal of the City. A unified approach will take multiple 
systems that perform the same function and reduce them down to a single application, 
making it easier to track, maintain and integrate into desired dashboards for understanding 
vehicle locations and improved route efficiency.  
 
The current contract will be extended for an additional 90 days. All existing equipment will 
be removed by LB Technology, Inc. and returned to the original vendor. The project will be 
completed in two phases. Phase One includes approximately 1,200 city-owned vehicles 
and rolling stock (loaders, backhoes, etc.). Phase Two is expected to include approximately 
983 city-owned vehicles. The final number, including Police and Fire vehicles, will be 
determined once phase one is complete and funding is identified. Phase Two is not 
included in the current dollar amounts and will be presented to Council for approval at a 
later date.  
 
City staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to all registered and known AVL providers. 
A total of 19 proposal responses were received, one of which did not meet the minimum 
requirements. The remaining 18 vendors met the minimum qualifications and were 
evaluated and scored in accordance with the City’s established policies and procedures.

2 
 
Scoring criteria included experience and qualifications, approach, solution functionality, 
technical suitability, product demonstration, reference checks, overall fit, and pricing.  
Based on the evaluation results, the committee recommends awarding the contract to the 
highest-scoring respondent.
