Description

This contract is to rescind the previous award for a Real-Time Crime Center Public Safety Platform from Fusus Corporation and Re-Award to Axon Enterprise, Inc. in the Amount Not to Exceed $150,000.  This contract was originally awarded to Fusus Corporation in council on July 27th, 2023. Fusus Corporation was bought by Axon Enterprise Inc. Fusus will unify Savannah Police Department's (SPD) data and operations into a single platform to expand the reach of SPD's camera system and promote public-private partnerships. Among other capabilities, Fusus will allow for real-time access to over 1,000 cameras; integrate SPD's Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs), FLOCK, and Shotspotter applications; create a voluntary community camera registry to allow owners to anonymously share camera locations with SPD; enable emergency/public safety related notifications to community members via a phone app; create a tip line for anonymous tips to be shared with SPD via text message; and enhance current analytic capacities as related to crime and incident heat mapping. The Fusus platform will significantly improve SPD’s efficiency and effectiveness. This is a sole source because Axon is the only known supplier of this Fusus Platform service that will unify SPD data and operations into a single platform and expand the camera system. Terms: Net 30 days. Delivery: As requested.
