by investigators or others. <br />Handheld digital voice recorders with addition memory capability would be used in <br />conjunction with the voice recognition software to perform automatic downloads into the <br />computer program from field initiated recordings. The grant funds may also be used to <br />cover any related and necessary training for the program. <br />The necessary desktop computer upgrades can be purchased in-house through the state <br />bid at a lower price than that quoted by BMS-Integrated Office Technologies. The laptop <br />computer quoted by BMS is slightly less that what we have available through the state <br />bid, and would be purchased as part of the proposal through BMS. The cost of the total <br />proposed purchase exceeds the available LLEBG funds by a small amount, and would <br />result in a cost to the city of $142.41, plus some additional tax. This additional amount <br />would come from the police equipment fund #100 4200 7030. <br /> <br />Recommendation: Staff recommends authorization to expend the remaining LLEBG <br />Grant funds of $7,776.59, plus approximately $142.00 additional department funds, to <br />purchase a Voice Recognition Software Program, digital voice recorders with expanded <br />memory, a portable “pro-mike”, necessary training, required computer upgrades, and an <br />additional laptop computer. The cost breakdown would be as follows: <br />BMS Products <br />Six (6) User Licenses @ $449.00/each $2,694.00 <br />Two (2) Persons Trained for 4 hours @ $125.00/per hour $500.00 <br />Three (3) Digital Handheld Voice Recorders @ $299.00/each $897.00 <br />Six (6) Additional 8mb Memory Sticks for Recorders @ $20.00/each $120.00 <br />One (1) Portable SM Pro-Mike for direct computer dictation $199.00 <br />One (1) Toshiba Laptop computer $1,650.00 <br /> (Includes Tax) $6,060.00 <br /> <br />In-House Purchase (State Bid) <br />One (1) Compaq Desktop Computer w/monitor $1,000.00 <br />One (1) Compaq Desktop Computer w/o monitor $859.00 <br /> (Does NOT Include Tax) $1,859.00 <br /> <br />Total Cost of Proposal (Not including tax for in-house purchases): $7,919.00 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted by: <br />Mike Sommer <br />Chief of Police
