On January 9, 2006, the City Council approved a new annual maintenance agreement with Intergraph Corporation, PO Box 6695, Huntsville, Alabama, 35824, Ben Eazzette, Chief Operations Officer. This maintenance contract was negotiated to provide the City’s new Computer Aided Dispatch and Records Management Software Systems with repair and upgrade support. This annual agreement will expire soon and needs to be renewed. The renewal agreement will include the newly installed mobile data software, which did not exist in the initial contract. The total amount of the agreement will be $132,125. The funding for this agreement will be expended from two funding sources. The majority of the cost will be funded from the E911 Surcharge Fund, which will amount to $102,888. The balance of the expense of $29,237 will be funded out of the Police General Operating Budget under Communications.

 

The renewal agreement will be for another annual term. It is anticipated this maintenance agreement will be an ongoing contract with the City for an extended period of time.
