SUBJECT:
Title
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A PURCHASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF CARSON AND VIGILANT SOLUTIONS, LLC AND BUDGET RESOLUTION 22-079 RELATED TO THE PROCUREMENT OF FOUR LICENSE PLATE READER TRAILERS FOR THE CITY OF CARSON (CITY COUNCIL)
Body
I. SUMMARY
This item transmits a request for City Council to approve the purchase of four mobile License Plate Reader Trailers ("LPRs") for the City of Carson. This technology will allow the City and the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department (the "LASD") to deploy additional public safety strategies in the community. These include identifying vehicles associated with potential criminal activity entering and exiting the City, helping mitigate speeding vehicles, and displaying important public information for community members to read as they are driving by.
The LPRs would be owned by the City of Carson and the intent is to allow LASD full use of the LPRs to help accomplish our shared public safety objectives. A Memorandum of Understanding between the City and LASD to govern the use of the LPRs is currently being prepared for consideration at a future City Council meeting. This item addresses the procurement of the LPRs, only.
Staff recommends the City Council approve the proposed purchase agreement (Exhibit 1) between the City of Carson and Vigilant Solutions, LLC for a total of $275,217.80 to be drawn from the existing Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Budget, and a Budget Resolution (Exhibit 2) amending the Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Budget to allow transfer of funds. Should the City Council approve purchasing the four LPRs, staff anticipates a minimum lead time of 90 days for delivery.
