Title
Resolution to Approve a Master Services and Purchasing Agreement with Axon Enterprise, Inc. for Police Technology Consolidation, Drones, Hardware, and Software Services ($2,967,419.69)
Memorandum
The Ann Arbor Police Department (AAPD) and the Information Technology Department recommend the approval of a new five-year Master Services and Purchasing Agreement (MSA) with Axon Enterprise, Inc. This agreement serves to consolidate multiple existing, disparate contracts for body-worn cameras, TASER devices, fleet in-car cameras, interview room systems, and virtual reality (VR) training into a single, comprehensive service model.
The consolidation into a new MSA provides significant operational efficiencies by aligning billing cycles to a single annual invoice and ensuring all hardware and software components, including the addition of new drone technology (Axon Air), are managed under a unified support and replacement framework. This arrangement includes the Technology Assurance Plan (TAP), which provides for scheduled hardware refreshes to ensure the Police Department maintains modern, reliable equipment.
The contract cost over the 60-month term is $2,697,654.26. Due to active staffing increases within the Police Department, a 10% contingency of $269,765.43 is requested to allow for the purchase of additional equipment, such as TASERs and body cameras, for new sworn personnel during the contract term. The total cost with contingency is $2,967,419.69.
It is requested that Axon Enterprise, Inc., be approved as a best source vendor for this agreement due to lack of vendors in the market that are able to provide the equipment, software and services required by the Ann Arbor Police Department.
