RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OI= THE CITY OF CHULA
VISTA AWARDING THE COMPUTER AIDED DISPATCH AND
MOBILE DATA COMPUTER (CAD/MDC) CONTRACT TO UNISYS
CORPORATION, SUBJECT TO OBTAINING FINANCING
THEREFOR
WHEREAS, in June 1996, Council approved Capital Improvement Project PS-115, the
Public Communications Project which will automate one of the City's critical functions:
police, fire, and emergency medical dispatch and provide for the purchase of mobile computer
terminals in police and fire vehicles; and
WHEREAS, following Council's approval of PS-115, staff prepared and released a
request for proposal and received responses from six different vendors; and
WHEREAS, after evaluating all of the responses, attending demonstrations of the
software and hardware, and checking references, four vendors were declared non-responsive
and eliminated; and
WHEREAS, staff then ranked the remaining vendors and began contract/price
negotiations with Unisys Corporation in late July, 1996; and
Bidder Price w/o Sales Tax &Shipping
Unisys Corporation $2,765,540
PRC $2,716,316
WHEREAS, the decision to rank Unisys first was based on the fact that Unisys offered
a "Windows" operating system while PRC offered a "DOS" based system and the Unisys'
Windows based system was more compatible with existing City systems such as SunPro,
which provides the Fire Records Management System (RMS) and the Geographic Information
System (GIS); and
WHEREAS, additionally, Unisys offered a system considered more flexible and
adaptable to future technological needs as PRC's technology is 15 to 20 years old and does
not offer the flexibility that the Unisys Lifeline CAD system offers; and
WHEREAS, negotiations with Unisys began in late July, 1996 which included
development of the project scope of work, agreement, and pricing; and
WHEREAS, staff is satisfied that the Unisys product running under the "Windows NT"
environment is acceptable and will meet the needs of the City; and
WHEREAS, the total cost of this system to the City is $2,922,409,42 which includes
the Windows NT Lifeline CAD system and upgrades, sales tax, 71 "Data 911" mobile data
computers, "Comprehensive-Gold" maintenance services for the first year, and a 90-day
Resolution 18615

guarantee of proven performance free of significant errors in a "live," fully operational
environment prior to final acceptance of the system by the City; and
WHEREAS, this compares with the initial bid of $2,765,540 for a Windows based
Lifeline CAD system, plus sales tax, 59 electronic mobile data terminals, an estimated first
year maintenance cost of $120,O00, and no proven performance acceptance plan in a "live"
environment, and a major reason for the increase in price is an increase from 59 to 71 in the
number of mobile data computers being purchased by the City.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED the City Council of the City of Chula Vista does
hereby award the Computer Aided Dispatch and Mobile Data Computer (CAD/MDC) contract
to Unisys Corporation in the amount of $2,922,409,42 subject to obtaining financing therefor.
Said contract to be placed on file in the Office of the City Clerk known as Document
