Sole Source: FTR Gold
Multi -Channel Digital
Recording System
It is respectfully requested that you approve a finding which would support our decision
that the FTR Gold Multi -Channel Digital Recording System located at 1350 NE. 56
Street, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, 33334, is the sole source provider for digital court
recording technology. FTR Gold Multi -Channel Digital Recording System represents the
next generation of technology which will replace our current inventory of Sony BM 246
recorders located in the City Commission Chambers and to this end, is the leading
supplier of digital recording software. The sole source developer, designer and
manufacturer of same, is aimed at capturing the record for court and hearing rooms. The
proposed cost is not to exceed $15,000. Funding is available from our general operating
account (Account Code 220101-840).
BACKGROUND
The Office of the City Clerk has been using recording equipment (Sony BM -235 and
Sony BM -246 recorders) in the City Commission Chambers in excess of eighteen years.
The Office of the City Clerk now seeks to replace our current BM 246 recorders that are
rapidly moving toward a state of technological obsolescence. The Clerk's Office also
seeks a more advanced recording technology, which can be used as stand alone system
with networkable hardware, independent, which concomitantly allows the Clerk's staff to
log notes during the recording process. No other company offers these features [Note:
the latter feature, namely FTR Gold Multi -Channel Digital Recording System log notes,
is a stand-alone electronic notetaking software package which provides a complete
package of annotating the digital automated files]. Furthermore, it provides an advantage
over the antiquated paper -log note process by adding an audio link to each log note.
Other distinguishing features include random-access (quick access to audio) which saves
time; one day, one media (reduce cost through less storage space); electronic log notes
(can be stored with audio); built-in backup, redundant copy of audio (which ensures
against loss or record); multi -functional platform (non -dedicated unit used for more than
just recording increases courtroom productivity); MPEG audio format (unparalled sound
quality, higher quality transcript; BT tutorial (simplified implementations); no database,
01- 117
automated file naming (date, time and location on CD), electronic distribution, with
sound system mixer and amp, etc. Business Information Systems is the only certified and
authorized reseller of FTR Gold System in the State of Florida. The Director of the
Purchasing Department has determined that FTR Gold is the sole source provider for this
multi -channel digital recording system.
