Description

This is for the procurement of e-citation printers with Tyler Technologies in the amount of $289,800. Savannah Police Department patrol officers must use the E-Citation system exclusively to write traffic citations and city ordinance violation tickets; however, there are not enough printers to distribute to each officer. This shortage impedes officers’ ability to issue citations. Shortly after the implementation of the E-Citation system, we discovered certain technological issues, including each printer requiring 3 separate cords to operate and an overall lack of portability. Additionally, our current inventory of printers is out of warranty and necessitates replacement with upgraded devices. To ensure the continued viability of the E-Citation program, it is critical that we obtain upgraded devices with adequate printing capabilities and appropriate support services. This purchase will further the Department’s enhanced community safety and crime reduction strategic priorities.

Per section 2-4152 of the City’s Purchasing Ordinance, the City may purchase goods or services through the use of a cooperative contract.
