FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: SEPTEMBER 15, 2015
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION FOR THE PURCHASE OF
INCIDENT DASHBOARD SOFTWARE AND TRAINING
RECOMMENDATION:
City Council to consider approval of a resolution for the purchase of incident dashboard
software and training from Advanced Public Safety, a sole source vendor.
FUNDING SOURCE:
Funding for this purchase is currently available in account 200-44500-530-1 (GIS Software
License & Maintenance Fee), 200-44540-533-1 (GIS Professional Services) and 117-
44540-209-4 (GIS Professional Services) for a total amount not to exceed $43,155.00.
This sole source purchase will be made in accordance with Local Government Code
Chapter 252, Subchapter B, Section 252.022(a)(7)(A) per the specifications written by the
Police, GIS and Fire Departments.
The Crimeview and Fireview software interfaces provide tools and dashboards to better
enable Police, Fire and GIS personnel to access public safety related data in a form that
provides a better understanding for analysis, reporting, of such things as recurrence of
incidents, response times and efficiency. By getting a better understanding of historical
public safety information, we will be able to improve operational efficiency and service to
the citizens of Grapevine.
Both the Police and Fire department require reporting and analysis tools that can perform
the following tasks:
• Police - investigations, deployment, emergency management and computer
statistic reporting.
• Fire — integration of Fire and EMS data to easily map and analyze data. By
identifying incident patterns and response effectiveness, resources can be more
optimally deployed.

This will be offered using software packages from Advanced Public Safety (APS) called
Crimeview and Fireview, which will not only interface with our existing Public Safety
database, but with our GIS software/data as well. APS is the sole provider of this software.
Staff recommends approval.
