SUBJECT: Mobile Access to Chameleon (Animal) Data Base
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Animal.Services Director, or his designee, to execute a one-
year contract with HLP, Inc. for the development and implementation of mobile access
(Animal Services fleet) to the animal database in the amount of$75,000.
BACKGROUND:
Proposed contractor is the sole source vendor for animal database used to track animal
inventory and activities, as well as, dispatch officers to problem-sites in the field. This project
will allow officers to be located more precisely by the dispatcher, improve efficiency in
dispatching officers, and provide more up-to-date information to officers in the field, thereby
improving their safety. Additionally, this project is also intended to reduce the inefficiencies of
officers manually writing down all of their activities during their shift and then entering them in
the computer at the end of the shift. It will allow activity tracking on a real-time basis, as well
as, provide dispatch with better information about status and locations of officers in the field.
Special funding for this project was allocated in the 1999-2000 budget process, but the project
had been delayed for technological reasons.
