end
Suggested Action:
recommendation
I move the Mayor and Council to authorize the City Administrator to execute a renewal contract for a period of 5 years, at a cost not to exceed $138,729.72 in FY22 with Axon Enterprise and approve an upgrade of the Police Department’s taser program with Axon, upon the review and approval by the City Attorney for legal sufficiency.
end
Summary Background:
The Police Department’s current tasers are outdated and the contract is up for renewal. Axon recommends that tasers should be replaced every five years. The Axon Taser 7 has advanced technology and body camera and in car video cameras are automatically activated when Taser 7 is drawn from the holster. Axon Taser 7 is the gold standard for less lethal options regarding current tasers on the market. The contract renewal, #00056189, is for a period of 60 months. The total cost of upgrading to Taser 7 with all accessories and training will cost a total of $138.729.72 and is available in the approved FY22 Police Capital Budget.
Next Steps:
Recommend approval
Fiscal Impact:
Not to exceed $138,729.72.
