Council approves sole-source agreement for LeoSight officer-tracking software, city share about $26,000/year
Summary
Council approved a sole-source purchase with LeoSight for portable-radio GPS tracking on the Granbury Regional Radio Network at a not-to-exceed total of $500,000 and $100,000 per year; Granbury's share was stated at about $26,000 annually for 49 sworn officers.
The council approved a five-year, sole-source software subscription with LeoSight to enable portable-radio GPS tracking across the Granbury Regional Radio Network and partner agencies.
Technology and security director Chris Collins said the system extends existing vehicle-based GPS tracking so officers on foot also appear on the map. Collins explained that cost is based on number of sworn officers and that bundling partner agencies made the package affordable; he reported the city share would be roughly $26,000 per year for 49 sworn officers. After discussion, council approved the not-to-exceed $500,000 project and the five-year agreement with an annual fiscal-year cost of $100,000; the vote was recorded in the meeting minutes as passing 5–1.
