A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF MARYSVILLE
AUTHORIZING,PURSUANT TO RCW 39.04.280 THE
SOLE SOURCE PURCHASE OF VOICE RECORDING
EQUIPMENT AND UPGRADE PROGRAM AGREEMENT
WITH DICTAPHONE CORPORATION.
A.WHEREAS,the Marysville Police Department purchased a voice
logging recorder as part of the Enhanced 9-1-1 project from the
Dictaphone Corporation in 1992; and
B.WHEREAS,the purpose of the equipment is to record all incoming and
outgoing radio transmissions and telephone communications from the
Marysville Police Dispatch Center; and
C.WHEREAS,the voice recording equipment operates 24 hours per day,
seven days per week, for 365 days per year; and
D. WHEREAS, the technology advancement has deemed this equipment
obsolete and Dictaphone Corporation will no longer renew a
maintenance agreement upon the expiration of the current agreement
on June 30, 2003; and
E.WHEREAS,the equipment supply vendors no longer manufacture
replacement parts for the equipment currently in use, and as a result
the increased frequency of necessary repairs due to the age of the
equipment has become increasingly difficult and will progress to the
point of no longer being able to service the existing equipment; and
F.WHEREAS,Dictaphone Corporation has introduced an upgraded
system which incorporates the latest technology in the voice recording
market and has a distinct feature that no other voice recording
manufacture offers, and is fully compatible with that part of existing
Dictaphone equipment which is not obsolete, and therefore, there is
sufficient basis for the sole source purchase of upgraded equipment
and software from Dictaphone Corporation and said purchase is clearly
and legitimately limited to a single source of supply; NOW
THEREFORE,
