RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Sheriff- Coroner, or designee, to execute a contract with West Advanced Technologies, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $450,000 to provide consulting, design development, programming services, and maintenance and support for the Automated Regional Information Exchange System (ARIES) for the period April 1, 2019 through March 31, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) Grant and ARIES org #2551 Funding.

BACKGROUND:

The Automated Regional Information Exchange System (ARIES) is a software application owned by Contra Costa County, and used by County and other law enforcement agencies to manage arrest and parolee data collected from law enforcement agencies. ARIES manages arrest and parole data provided by local law enforcement agencies that is stored on a County server. The purpose of this Contract is for the Contractor to provide consulting, design development, programming services, maintenance and support services to the Sheriff’s Office, including without limitation, the Data Standardization, Data Warehouse Decommission, LInX Integration and Agency Data Mapping Integration projects. There are currently more than 9,000 users from over 104 different agencies participating in the system.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

ARIES continues to improve the way it does business everyday by providing reliable and functional application to law enforcement agencies. If this contract is not approved, ARIES will not be able to continue to improve, upgrade and implement a sophisticated data sharing system for more than 9,000 users.
