Authorize continued payment for wireless services and equipment provided for in the
participating addendum with AT&T Mobility National Accounts LLC (formerly known as New
Cingular Wireless National Accounts LLC) under a master agreement with the Western States
Contracting Alliance for a period ending October 31, 2012 in an amount not to exceed $205,000

DISCUSSION
The Police Department currently employs wireless data communications from AT&T Mobility to
support Global Positioning System (GPS) location services which provide Police dispatch with
critical data on unit location. This is an officer safety tool and aids the productivity of
patrol/policing activities. The Fire Department also utilizes a wireless data based system to
communicate with its vehicles in the field. Other City Agencies including Parks and Recreation
employ wireless data communications to improve the delivery of services to the community.
To provide wireless data communications, the City utilizes services from AT&T Mobility National
Accounts LLC (formerly known as New Cingular Wireless National Accounts LLC) under an
agreement through the Western States Contracting Alliance (WSCA). This agreement was
competed and negotiated on October 10, 2006. AT&T and WSCA extended the term of the
Master Agreement through October 31, 2012. Participating Agencies may extend their service
contracts pursuant to the extension of the Master Agreement. This agreement with AT&T Mobility
National Accounts LLC provides extremely competitive pricing with protections on future price
increases. The City may terminate at any time, without penalty, with 30 days notice.
