1515 NW 167 Street, Building 5 Suite 200 Miami Gardens, Florida 33169 in the Department, specifically the Community Enrichment Team, there is a need to purchase 14 additional digital
recording units and accessories for the newly purchased vehicles. The cost of the additional mobile digital recording systems and accessories is $75,735.00. While this price is consistent
with the Arizona Department of Public Safety Bid; the attached resolution is requesting that the City Council waive the purchasing requirements, because the L3 Communications System

with the existing system. Proposed Action: That the City Council approve the attached resolution authorizing the City Manager to issue a purchase order to L3 Communications for the purchase
of Mobile Vision in-car Digital Video Recording systems in an amount of $75,735.00 and waiving the competitive bidding requirements. Attachment: Attachment A: L3 Communications Quote
