Ari,
Hello. Below are the answers for your questions. I have also attached a sole source letter that
addresses some of the below questions.
1. Explain why the product/service requested is the only product/service that can satisfy your
requirements, and explain why alternatives are unacceptable. Be specific with regard to
specifications, features, characteristics, requirements, capabilities, and compatibility. Describe
what steps have been undertaken to make this determination. See attached sole source letter.
2. Explain why this services provider, supplier or manufacturer Is the only practicably available
source from which to obtain this product or service, and describe the efforts that were made to
verify and confirm whether, or not, this is so. (Obtain and include a letter from the
manufacturer confirming claims made by distributors or exclusive distributorships regarding the
product or service, if that is cited as a reason for this Sole Source.) See attached sole source
letter.
3, Will this product obligate us to a particular vendor for future purchases (either In terms of
maintenance that only this vendor will be able to perform and/or €f we purchase this item, will
we need more "like Items In the future to match this one)? It does not obligate you to purchase
additional products; however, they are the only ones that can provide (IT) support for their
software product. The IT support gives us full access to all licenses, as well as, any automatic
updates the company may do.
4. Explain why the price for this product or service is considered to be fair and reasonable. They
currently offer an industry standard and other police departments have pair[ the same price.
5. Describe the negotiation efforts, if any that have been made with the supplier to obtain the best
possible price. Cost of the application is depended on client size (size of police department) and
not negotiable.
6. Fxplaln the consequences(s) to the city, including the dollar estimate of the financial impact, if
this Safe Source Is not approved. Reducing liability to the City is the main focus when looking at
this software program. The actual dollar estimate is not calculable since the damages can vary
basedon a case by case basis. In today's 215t Century society, the need to capture data is
paramount. Getting this program will allows us to take the City of Miami Police Department
Field Training Officer Program to be par to par with times and technology.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me at any time.
