The current CAD System has been in place almost six years. The project initially required extensive fechnalogical and brick and mortar infrastructure improvements, including replacement of mobile data computers in Police and Fire vehicles. The dispatch center and a backup CAD area were completely renovated. As the CAD project evolved, there were some cost overruns associated with the project. The renovation and expansion of both the Bolt Street facility and Annex renovations were much mare costly than originally anticipated. As a result, with the added cost of facility renovations and additional equipment to address City network deficiencies and additional Federal Bureau of InvesfigafionlNafional Crime Information Center security requirements, the project's scope was expanded. These needs were either under-funded in the original project budget, or were unknown at the Time of project inception. Additionally, staff did a poor jab of project management and monitoring of costs; resulting in a shortfall of $1.5 million. $405,260.67, made up of interest earned on project funds ($337,251.87) and a payment of $67,999.00 from Tarrant County (which was their portion of their cost of the cable frays in the Communications Center at Bolt Street}, is currently available. City staff is recommending the use of $1,232,019.55 from the Capital Projects Reserve Fund to fund the balance needed. This was originally shared with City Council in the January, 2006 monthly Financial Report. The total of these two amounts, $1,637,280.22, needs to be appropriated by City Council to allow staff to close out the project.
