. . , <br /> There are also issues with the RISC to RISC feature that allows the migration and retrieval of <br /> information. The MSI bid has replaced this feature with"software preload required". There are <br /> also issues in loading our required components into preconfigured machine. In essence there is at <br /> least one extra step in the installation of the express machine and the migration of information. It <br /> is unclear if there will be costs associated with the extra steps or who will be responsible for the <br /> procedures. The hardware installation and information migration costs estimated by MSI are <br /> between $5000.00 to $7000.00, where the estimate for these same services by LRS is between <br /> $2325.00 and$3940.00. <br /> LRS bid to the specifications put out by Purchasing(Bid#0708-07 Mid-Range Computer <br /> System). These specifications were based on research conducted over the past year by LRS (at , <br /> no cost to the Department) which studied data and trends to design a machine specific to the � <br /> needs of the Decatur Police Department. LRS is an established company which will also <br /> provides service and maintenance; they are proven and reliable and located in Springfield <br /> Illinois. MSI does not provide maintenance, they are based in Omaha Nebraska, and they opened <br /> their Peoria Office in April of 2006. <br /> LRS will provide us a machine specifically designed for the needs of the Decatur Police <br /> Department. There is estimated cost saving of$2500.00 to $3000.00 in the area of hardware <br /> installation and information migration. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: <br /> In conclusion it is the recommendation of the Decatur Police Department and MIS to accept the <br /> bid of Levi, Ray, Shoup (LRS) for the 9406-520, I series machine. <br /> ATTACHMENTS: none <br /> Staff References: <br /> Chief of Police James A.
