REPORT TO PUBLIC SERVICES COMMITTEE '
BY:
IN RE: COMPUTER SERVICES/CLEMIS-0 D COUNTY TN-CAR TERMINAL PROJECT
MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION # 88169
The Department of Management and Budget has conducted a preliminary
investigation of the financial implications of the above referenced
resolution based upon information provided by the Computer Services
Department and initial vendor bids and reports as follows:
1) The project proposes that the County fund the base station and
staff support for the in-car terminals, the terminal to be
purchased by the individual police jurisdictions.
2) The annual cost to the County, based on figures provided by
Computer Services, equals $132,431, as detailed in Schedule A.
This cost assumes a seven year lease on the message switch
processor.
3) There is an option to purchase the processor outright at a price
of $226,511. However, with the lease interest rate of 7.9%, and
the potential investment interest of 8.0% over seven years
(investment rate p:.:)vided by Treasurer's office), and assuming a
seven-year depreciation, the lease is more economical. (see
Schedule B) It must be noted however that a five-year
depreciation is no=1 for computer services equipment.
4) Should the Board wish to purchase the processor, the first year
cost would increase- to $317,028 with annual cost increasing to
. $135,779 thereafter.
5) Through Miscellaneous Resolution #88110, the Board appropriated
$1,176,106 to a Special Contingency Fund. Should the Board wish,
these, funds may be used to support this project.
6) As previously mentioned, individual police jurisdictions must
purchase the terminals and maintain them. The in-car terminal
consortium is recommending Electrocom Automation Inc. as the
, system vendor. Their specified bid for 200 units, including
terminal,- radio, and installation is a purchase price of $3,417
per unit. First year cost to purchase and maintain 200 units is
$742,584.
DEPARTMENT OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET
7) Should the Sheriff Department Or the Safety Division) desire
terminals in the patrol vehicles, the cost must also be absorbed
by the County. Depending on the number of terminals requested
(estimates could be as high as 50-60 terminals), the cost would
be substantial.
8) Because a number cf dispatch activities involve CLEMIS/LFIN
information requested by patrol officers, implementation of this
system in the Sheriff's vehicles may favorably impact the
dispatching needs of the Sheriff and, consequently, any plans to
centralize the dispatch function.
9) The bid specifications require that the vendor's guarantee their
800 MHz system will be able, to provide coverage for the entire
County.
10) Should this project receive approval of the Public Services
COmmittee, both Personnel and Finance Committee's review is
required before Boardaction..
