RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

 

Authorize the County Procurement Officer or Deputized designee to execute Amendment Number One to the sole source contract with GeoSpatial Technologies Inc. for Software License and Maintenance of GeoSpatial Technologies Mapper/ Tracker, and HERE Maps, to add GeoSpatial Technologies Geofile Generator Software License and Annual Maintenance Fee effective upon Board of Supervisors approval through March 5, 2028, in an amount not to exceed $14,400, for a new cumulative not to exceed amount of $269,884.

 

 

 

 

SUMMARY:

 

Approval of Amendment Number One to the sole source contract with GeoSpatial Technologies Inc will allow the Sheriff-Coroner Department to continue utilizing the software license and maintenance of real-time mapping used for dispatch and field operations units showing current Computer-Aided Dispatch calls, locations and reports.

 

 

 

 

 

 

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

 

The Sheriff-Coroner Department (Sheriff) requires software, licensing and services for its Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) system. Sheriff requires mapper and tracker server software from the CAD system for data collection and interoperability to support Department of Justice mandates and County initiatives. By renewing the Sheriff's software and licenses with GeoSpatial Technologies Inc. (GST), it assures software and equipment compatibility, thereby reducing risk and increasing efficiency.

 

GST is the producer and sole source vendor for GST Mapper Mobile Data Computers (MDC) software and GST Tracker software. The GST Mapper MDC software is an integrated system that provides mapping, routing, image viewing and vehicle locating capabilities. It provides real-time maps that are viewable by both patrol and dispatchers that track patrol units' current locations, movements and speed. Additionally, the GST Tracker software provides a historical replay of unit locations and movements that also displays calls where patrol units have been dispatched in real-time maps. This software can be streamed on multiple types of devices including patrol vehicles with hard mounted Global Positioning System (GPS) moderns, smartphones, iPads/Tablets and GPS-enabled Mobile Data Computers. The continuation of this contract is crucial for Sheriff to provide timely response to critical incidents.

 

This service contract is a sole source contract. Only software developed by GST can access and function with CAD and MDCs that are used by Sheriff due to proprietary hardware, software and specific encryptions. GST developed and produced the software, and are the only ones who can provide maintenance to Sheriff's existing system.  GST is the sole provider of its software, and while other tracking software is available, there are no other vendors that can support the existing GST Mapper and Tracker software.

 

The table below details the recent contract history with GST.

Sheriff now requests the Board approve Amendment Number One to the sole source contract with GST to add GST Geofile Generator Software License and Annual Maintenance as noted in the Recommended Action. This product will automatically update new addresses/locations to Sheriff's existing CAD (Computer Aided Dispatch) program to show real-time information within Sheriff's patrol unit MDC's. The updates for new addresses within the patrol areas have historically and are currently being manually updated by a technician. This new software addition will automatically update the system and will save staff time and resources. It will also assist field deputies with real-time updates to their daily patrol areas.

 

Contractor performance has been confirmed as at least satisfactory. Sheriff has verified that there are no concerns that must be addressed with respect to contractor's ownership/name, litigation status or conflicts with County interests. This contract does not currently include subcontractors or pass through to other providers. The Orange County Preference Policy is not applicable to this sole source contract. See Attachment C for the Contract Summary Form.
