Criminal Justice Information (CJI). Of greater relevance, law enforcement hotlist information, such as National Crime Information Center (NCIC) data, is managed by Motorola law enforcement customers and may contain CJI as defined in 4.1 of the CJIS Security Policy. For these reasons, Motorola has voluntarily implemented CJIS security controls that are believed are necessary to comply with the relevant sections.
Although there are competitors, no other vendor has as wide of a network as Vigilant and no other vendor has access to the Carlsbad Police Department's existing data. Vigilant is the sole manufacturer of the LPR cameras that were purchased by the Police Department and is the sole provider of all the platforms that can access them.
Vigilant is providing the city with a high volume and returning customer discount of $540,147.
We would likely lose this discount in a competitive bid and pay a higher price for the same equipment. Although other vendors may have a lower bid for their LPR cameras, it •may cost the city more to replace the existing platforms and hardware in order to accommodate another vendor's cameras. Additional justifications from Vigilant can be found on the attached letter.
The police department is requesting that the procurement of replacement LPR cameras, software and licensing services be exempt from the bidding process as per Purchasing Code 3.28.110 (C) and (N) and that the city procure these goods from Vigilant Solutions in the amount of $1,099,240 for 85 replacement cameras and $370,134 an additional 43 cameras, as per the attached proposal.
