FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: NOVEMBER 7, 2023
SUBJECT: PURCHASE OF LAW ENFORCEMENT STAFFING SOFTWARE FOR
THE POLICE DEPARTMENT
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider the approval for the purchase of law enforcement
staffing software from Informer Systems, LLC for the Police Department.
FUNDING SOURCE: Funds are available in the CCPD Fund for an amount not to exceed
$41,100.
BACKGROUND: This purchase is for staffing software that will give the Police Department
the ability to manage the staffing levels of first responders in a dynamic,
real-time manner, without the use of spreadsheets, and notebooks
containing paper copies of shift schedules. Currently supervisors and
command staff do not have an automated mechanism to review shift
schedules and evaluate manpower needs.
This purchase will be made in accordance with an existing interlocal
agreement with The Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR) as
allowed by Texas Local Government Code, Chapter 271 and Texas
Government Code, Chapter 791.
Bids were taken by the Cooperative and a contract was awarded to
Informer Systems, LLC. The Police Department and Purchasing staff
reviewed the contract for departmental specification compliance and
pricing and determined that the contract would provide the best product
and pricing for meeting the needs of the City.
Staff recommends approval
