• The current contract for in-car cameras expires on April 11, 2024, and there is a need to replace the existing 125 cameras and contract for ongoing software and storage.

• The Axon camera system would allow for an integrated camera system with the body cameras used by law enforcement and the jail.

• In accordance with Section 33.115 of the Lake County Purchasing Ordinance, the County Purchasing Division has identified a competitively solicited and awarded cooperative purchasing contract for telecommunication services offered by Axon, Scottsdale, Arizona through Sourcewell.

• The five-year contract would go into effect from April 2024 through April 2029.

• The initial annual cost to procure 125 in-car cameras, software, installation, and unlimited storage is $660,000. There is an ongoing software maintenance and storage cost for years two through five at $220,000 annually.

8.5 23-1723

Joint resolution ratifying an emergency procurement with Tasca Chevrolet, Classic Toyota, and HH Motors LLC in the amount of $254,204.56 for six replacement vehicles.

• Lake County had the need for nine non-standard fleet vehicle replacements that were unable to be procured due to supply chain issues and the lack of a state contract.

• A bid was released in June of 2023 for six vehicles where two local dealerships submitted responses but were ultimately deemed as non-responsive and non-awarded.

• Subsequent to the non-awarded bid, a round-table was held with local dealerships, including representatives from the Lake County Division of Transportation (LCDOT) and impacted departments, and it was expressed that dealers would not be able to hold vehicles longer than one week.

• Pursuant to Section 33.067 of the Lake County Purchasing Ordinance, the emergency procurement was deemed necessary to minimize serious disruption in services and operations.

• The emergency procurement amount of $254,204.56 includes the vehicle purchase of all six vehicles.
