The Acting Chief of Police for the Houston Police Department recommends that City Council approve an ordinance to appropriate $43,333.30 from the FY2017 Equipment Acquisition Consolidated Fund (Fund1800). This appropriation is budgeted in the FY2017 Capital Improvement Plan Budget approved by City Council on July 20, 2016. These funds will support the purchase of an Inventory and Maintenance Control System for HPD’s Air Support Division.
The current inventory and maintenance system used by HPD Air Support is unsupported as the vendor has gone out of business. A new system is required to provide the inventory of all parts used to maintain the aircrafts and track maintenance activities to meet FAA requirements.
HPD will purchase the new inventory system through the City’s Interlocal Agreement with SafeWare, Inc., and follow all procurement policies and procedures.
Funding for this item is included in the FY2017 Capital Improvement Plan budget. Therefore, no fiscal note is required as stated in the Financial Policy Ordinance No. 2014-1078.
