Title
Internet Crash Data System (B)
Explanation
Due to the past work of the Police Department and the Public Works Department, the City of Gainesville was awarded a grant in January of this year to develop a system to allow the accurate analysis of crash data and to have that information available on the World Wide Web (Internet). Currently, information from a crash report is hand-entered into different, incompatible systems depending on the agency using the data. This project would allow the entering of the data only once, regardless of the agency's system. The information would be available for analysis through an Internet web site constructed for this purpose. After soliciting proposals from five vendors for the construction of the Internet system, the lowest bid received came from Crossroads Software of Brea, California.
Fiscal Note
The contract is valued at approximately $34,845.00 and will come from the awarded grant. The contract requires no City funds.
Recommendation
The City Commission authorize the City Manager to: 1) approve the expenditure as budgeted; 2) execute the necessary contract for services, pending review by the City Attorney as to form and legality.
