(CARRIED 7-0 LOST LAID OVER WITHDRAWN .)
PURPOSE:
INITIATED BY:
WAIVE BIDS & PURCHASE FIRE/RMS SOFTWARE
FIRE DEPARTMENT
WHEREAS, the current records management system for the Oshkosh Fire
Department will be taken out of service when Winnebago County initiates a new
Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) System sometime this year; and
WHEREAS, it is necessary for the records management system to interface with
the CAD system; and
WHEREAS, Aether Systems produces a records management system called the
Sunpro system which is the most compatible with the CAD System being purchased by
Winnebago County; and
WHEREAS, Aether Systems is willing to honor its 2001 pricing because of the
ongoing research into this issue that began before its price changes became effective;
and
WHEREAS, it is, therefore, necessary to waive bids pursuant to section 12-
10(D)(1) and (4) of the Oshkosh Municipal Code, because standardization and
compatibility are overriding considerations and because a more favorable price may be
secured by negotiating a purchase agreement with this supplier who has agreed to
honor its original pricing on this product.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Common Council of the City of
Oshkosh that the proper City officials are hereby authorized and directed to waive bids
and to purchase from:
AETHER
300 Nickerson Road
Marlborough, MA 01752
Total Price: $78,300.00
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that money for this purpose is hereby appropriated
