yet not providing software updates in five years; and
WHEREAS, a committee of potential users researched and examined a software system
by Sungard OSSI, and the group unanimously endorsed the system, which will meet Lodi Police
Department's needs in a number of areas and also provides a number of other capabilities that
will enhance the ability to provide better service to the citizens; and
WHEREAS, staff therefore recommends purchasing and installing this new Public Safety
Solution system; and
WHEREAS, Lodi Municipal Code Section 3.20.070 authorizes dispensing with bids for
purchasesof supplies, services, or equipment when it is in the best interest of the City to do so.

authorize the purchase and installation of a new Public Safety Solution system from OSSI
Sungard in the amount of $250,997.21; and

of funds in the amount of $250,997.21 from Police Department budgeted funds.
