RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA WAIVING THE FORMAL BIDDING
PROCESS AS IMPRACTICAL, APPROVING A CONTRACT
WITH CROSS CURRENT CORPORATION FOR THE DESIGN
AND DEVELOPMENT OF AN AUTOMATED INTERFACE
BETWEEN THE COMPUTER AIDED DISPATCH SYSTEM
(CAD) AND THE GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM
(GIS), AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2002 BUDGET BY
APPROPRIATING $116,937 FROM THE UNAPPROPRIATED
FUND BALANCE OF THE GENERAL FUND, AND
AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE THE
CONTRACT
WHEREAS, in August 1998, City staff converted the Police and Fire Dispatch system to
a new CAD system in order to facilitate the dispatching of emergency personnel and equipment
to the proper locations; and
WHEREAS, the CAD system relies upon the street information located within the CAD
system to determine necessary information concerning the location where assistance is needed;
and
WHEREAS, during the past three years, this information was updated manually each
time new streets were added; and
WHEREAS, this is a time consuming and cumbersome process causing delays and
inconsistencies within the street files creating delays in dispatching emergency vehicles; and
WHEREAS, since the City's GIS system is updated in a more efficient manner,
interfacing the GIS system and the CAD system would improve the accuracy of the street
information in CAD thereby eliminating the delays that are caused by inconsistent data in the
street file; and
WHEREAS, since the CAD software is a proprietary product of the Cross Current
Corporation, only they can legally make changes to their software, and for this reason, this
project must be done by Cross Current and cannot be bid upon by other vendors.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Chula
Vista does hereby waive the formal bidding process as impractical for the reasons set forth
hereinabove.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council does hereby approve a contract
with Cross Current Corporation for the design and development of an automated interface
between the Computer Aided Dispatch System (CAD) and the Geographic Information System
(GIS), a copy of which shall be kept on file in the Office of the City Clerk.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the fiscal year 2002 budget is hereby amended by
appropriating $116,937 from the unappropriated Fund Balance of the General Fund.
