EXPLANATION:
The CAD system and associated hardware and software are an integral and necessary part of the police
communications and data recording system. The system is necessary to provide law enforcement services to the
residents of National City consistent with industry standards while providing a high level of officer safety, tracking
and recording and data retrieval means and methods. The CAD and related hardware and software are in use on
a constant basis with a limited redundant system in place. Optimal performance and reliability are critical to •
maintaining the integrity of police dispatch capabilities. The current six (6) CAD workstations and Stratus server
have been in operation twice as long as the expected life cycle of 3-4 years. TriTech is the National City Police
Department's sole provider of police dispatching software. National City Municipal Code 2.60.220 allows for the
waiving of bidding requirements when the commodity or service to be procured is required to integrate with or be
compatible with existing furnishings, materials, systems, programs or equipment and the procurement can be
timely made from a manufacturer or supplier who has previously satisfactorily supplied the particular commodity
or service or when the commodity can be obtained from only one source and there is no adequate substitute.
