Title
21. Authorize the City Manager to Execute a Contract Consolidation with Expanded Services with Axon Enterprises, Inc. in an Amount Not to Exceed $1,513,930.45. (Savannah Police Department)
Strategic Priority
GOAL 6:  Always Be a High-Performing Government
Description

This contract is for the approval of a contract consolidation with expanded services with Axon Enterprises, Inc. in the amount of $26,833,680. The Savannah Police Department currently operates under multiple agreements for conducted energy weapons, body-worn cameras, digital evidence management, and related technologies. Managing this expansion of needs under separate procurement pathways creates operational and financial inefficiencies. Thus a new Master Services and Purchasing agreement has been negotiated, consolidating all separate services from Axon into one package. OSP+ Premium will upgrade Tasers 7 to Taser 10, combine Fusus and the BWC and Taser packages together, and includes drones, among other integral upgrades in software and storage capabilities. These new benefits intend to enhance police transparency and efficiency. There is no budgetary impact for year 1 starting in May 2026, and the 1st payment will take place in 2027. It is proposed that the City enter into a 10-year Master Services and Purchasing Agreement (MSPA)(initial one-year term with 9 annual renewal options) approved by the City of Savannah Attorney's office, effective January 2027, which would:

• Consolidate four (4) existing agreements into a single contract vehicle
• Incorporate the May 2026 staffing expansion with no additional expenditure in calendar year 2026
• Standardize pricing, support, and technology under one agreement
• Provide long-term cost predictability and streamlined contract administration

The ten-year financial model: 
• Year 1: $1,513,930.45
• Year 2: $2,813,305.45
• Year 3: $2,813,305.45
• Year 4: $2,813,305.45
• Year 5: $2,813,305.45
• Year 6: $2,813,305.45
