A RESOLUTION RESCINDING RESOLUTION NO. 2018-134 AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER, OR DESIGNEE, TO EXECUTE AN AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT WITH TASER INTERNATIONAL, INC. FOR THE PURCHASE OF TASER EQUIPMENT AND TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE CHANGE OF NAME FROM TASER INTERNATIONAL, INC. TO AXON ENTERPRISE, INC.
body
BACKGROUND:
This item was tabled at the October 11, 2018, City Commission Meeting.
The City entered into an Agreement with TASER International, Inc. for the purchase of TASER equipment on March 22, 2017 ("Agreement"). The Agreement provided for the purchase of TASERS and Warranties for three (3) years with the ability to renew for two (2) additional one (1) year periods. On July 26, 2018, the City Commission approved Amendment 1 to the Agreement via Resolution No. 2018-134. However, following the Commission meeting it was determined that substantive changes needed to be made to the proposed amendment, therefore the prior Amendment No. 1 was not executed by Axon Enterprise. (The contract price needed to be increased and an additional exhibit needed to be added).
DISCUSSION:
Please see the attached memo from Chief Albert Arenal to City Manager Mary Blasi, explaining the request to purchase additional TASERS and equipment in the amount of $60,000. The parties desire to amend the Agreement to provide for the purchase of additional TASERS and equipment that will replace out-of-warranty TASERS as well as TASERS for newly-hired officers, which were not taken into consideration at the time of the original Agreement, and increase the contract price from Thirty-two Thousand Dollars ($32,000) to an amount not to exceed Sixty Thousand Dollars ($60,000). The parties also desire to update Exhibit "A," "List of Equipment" by replacing it with Exhibit "A-1" and add Exhibit "C," "Price List." Finally, the parties desire to update the Agreement to reflect the name change from TASER International, Inc. to Axon Enterprise, Inc.
