HUNDRED FIFTY‐THREE DOLLARS ($170,153.00) FOR THE PURCHASE OF DELL LAPTOP COMPUTERS; PROVIDING FOR THE ADOPTION OF REPRESENTATIONS; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Staff Summary: Background
The Miami Gardens Police Department utilizes computer laptops to dispatch/receive calls for service, perform immediate records checks, complete incident reports and as a communication
device between members of the Department and outside agencies. The current Motorola laptops are outdated, often in need of repairs and have lost the functionality needed by the Department
for everyday tasks. Currently 80 of the existing laptops are in need of repair or are not completely functional. We anticipate an additional 20 laptops losing its functionality throughout
the year. The costs associated with repairing these computers are prohibitive and replacing and the warranties are out of date. Replacing the Motorola laptops with Dells laptops, which
come with a 3 year total coverage warranty, would be more cost effective and provide needed functionality to the Department. ITEM J-4) CONSENT AGENDA RESOLUTION P.O. to Wavenet Technologies,
