REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION: At the request of Sheriff's Department, the Procurement and Contracts division issued an Invitation to Bid for thirty-seven Mobile Workstations for the Automated Vehicle Location (AVL) and In-Car Camera (ICS) systems projects.
The implementation of the AVL and ICS projects have placed a substantial additional computing load on the exiting Mobile Workstations deployed by the Sheriff's Department. Deputies are unable to review video in the vehicle once recorded for statements and other evidence and must return to the office to upload and view the video recordings. The new units will make it possible for deputies to perform the video review task on the scene of the incident.
Over forty (40) of the existing Mobile Workstations have received memory upgrades which have extended their useful life. The purchase of the new Mobile Workstations will replace the oldest units which cannot be practically upgraded.
