Subject:

Discussion and possible action to purchase One (1) year manufacturer warranty for WCSD FOTM system from STRONGWATCH for the Sheriff's Department in the amount of $22,750.00. [Requested by Martin Cuellar, Sheriff; Account #344-2001-6032 (Stone Garden Fund)]

Issue: Strong watch FOTM (Freedom on the move) is a complex mobile thermal imager (scope truck). Maintenance agreement and warranty are expired. This asset is used for border interdiction operations and scene security/crowd control-over-watch. PM includes lubrication of pneumatic systems, moving parts on skid plate, and all of the electronic/ software updates needed to keep system running properly.

Solution: Purchase extension on warranty and PM so that there is an uninterrupted use of the asset as well as securing the service and warranty at a lower rate than the ON Call rate

Result: FOTM system will have coverage for all issues that arise out of use of the asset, pneumatic systems, computer systems, and imaging systems. as well as PM schedules to keep system in order. Strong watch is a sole source provider for the service and repair of their systems.
