RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Office of the Sheriff’s Forensic Services Crime Laboratory and the Regional Access Network (RAN) Board, a purchase order with Cogent Systems, Inc., in the amount of $162,375 for latent work station applications. (100% Cal-ID RAN funding)

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact to the County General Fund. All Cal-ID purchases are funded by the Regional Access Network Board. Cost is $162,375.

BACKGROUND:

The Cogent Systems Latent Work Station Application software is designed for use with the existing Store and Forward fingerprint identification system. The Regional Access Network Board has approved the purchase of eleven (11) Applications from the CAL-ID trust fund. Ten of the applications will be installed at the Sheriff's Central Identification Services Unit, and one will be installed at the Concord Police Department. No other vendors' software is compatible with the existing systems. The purchase of these workstations will greatly increase the productivity of the Central Identification Unit.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

In accordance with Administrative Bulletin No. 611, County Departments are required to obtain Board approval for single item purchases over $100,000. The County Administrator’s Office has reviewed this request and recommends approval.
