AUTHORIZING OPEN MARKET PURCHASE FROM BERENDO
SOLUTIONS, INC. OF LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA PURSUANT TO
SECTION 3-15 OF THE ALAMEDA CITY CHARTER FOR
ELECTRONIC CITATION SOFTWARE (REQUIRES FOUR
AFFIRMATIVE VOTES)
WHEREAS, the Police Department uses electronic citation software and
hardware for traffic enforcement; and
WHEREAS, the replacement and update of the current electronic citation
system will allow for the ability to fully integrate with the Police Department's
Record Management System, deliver citation data directly to the California
Superior Court system, and improve current capabilities; and
WHEREAS, the funds for this electronic citation software will be
completely reimbursed by a Special Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) grant
from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration; and
WHEREAS, Section 3-15 of the City Charter provides that the City
Council, by four affirmative votes, can authorize an open market purchase,
without competitive bidding, if it determines that the product can be purchased
at a lower price in the open market; and
WHEREAS, after a solicitation of bids, Berendo Solutions, Inc. is the only
company offering electronic citation software that is already capable of fully
integrating with both the Police Department's Record Management System and
the California Superior Court system, and therefore an open market purchase of
this product from the sole source provider is effectively the "lowest price"
available.

of Alameda, pursuant to Section 3-15 of the City Charter, and by four affirmative
votes, hereby authorizes the open market purchase of electronic citation
software.
