extend the current Verizon DAS equipment into the Public Safety Parking Garage; and WHEREAS, on March 23, 2021, City Council approved entering into a contract with Cellco Partnership dba Verizon Wireless, tci provide cellular broadband services and modems. Currently, the City has more than 600 cellular data modems deployed for use by public safety departments. The Long Beach Police and Fire Departments' vehicles have mobile data computer systems that enable public safety staff to conduct computer-based work in the field, including writing reports, researching computerized records, retrieving investigative database information and photographs, and accessing other City-related applications from the field. Extending the current Verizon DAS will support the deployed public safety data modems and mobile data computer systems when the public safety vehicles are in operation in the Public Safety Parking Garage; and
WHEREAS, as a result, no useful purpose would be served by advertising for bids and to do so would constitute an idle and useless act and an unnecessary expenditure of public funds;
follows:
herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Long Beach resolves as Section 1. The above recitals are true and correct and are incorporated Section 2. The City Manager is hereby authorized to execute a contract, and any amendments thereto, with Los Angeles SMSA LP dba Verizon Wireless to provide enhanced cellular services in the public safety parking garage at no cost to the City.

Section 3. This resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption by the City Council, and the City Clerk shall certify the vote adopting this resolution.
