Report
Summary
These contracts will continue to allow City departments access to mobile devices, wireless services, equipment, and accessories needed to conduct City business. Existing equipment and services are used by staff to provide critical services to the public in various locations throughout the valley. Currently, the City pays for services for more than 5,000 cellular phones, 6,000 air cards, 6,000 push to talk radios, 470 tablets, and various other services and equipment. Continuation of these agreements is essential to the City, as the agreements allow the City to pay for monthly cellular services and purchase equipment and accessories, as needed while the City adopts the State of Arizona cooperative agreements. These cooperative agreements offer significant cost savings due to the benefit from national government pricing and volume discounts.
Contract Term
Upon approval the contract will be extended through Dec. 31, 2024, with an option to extend through June 30, 2025.
Financial Impact
Upon approval of $7,400,000 in additional funds, the revised aggregate value of the contract will not exceed $33,775,000. Funds are available in various Departments' budget.
