Of possible interest:

AN ORDINANCE approving the awarding of ITB #3175 – purchase of 129 Mobile Data Computers by the City of Fort Wayne, Indiana, by and through its Department of Purchasing and OEM Micro Solutions, Inc. for the Fort Wayne Police Department
Total cost of $722,271
If my math works properly, that’s $5,599 per computer.
As well as:
S-11-03-15
AN ORDINANCE approving the awarding of RFP #2831 – purchase of 72 DVD Digital in Car Video Cameras by the City of Fort Wayne, Indiana, by and through its Department of Purchasing and Enforcement Video LLC for the Fort Wayne Police Department
Total cost of $420,264
This works out to $5,837 per unit.
I know the technology, especially in the case of the later is absolutely necessary due to possible law suits and backing up officer’s in their accounts of how events transpire, but these costs seem a little steep. It will be interesting to hear the reasons why.
Also:
S-11-03-16
AN ORDINANCE approving the awarding of ITB #3332 – purchase of Diesel, No-Lead and B-20 Fuel by the City of Fort Wayne, Indiana, by and through its Department of Purchasing and AG Plus Diesel and Petroleum Traders Corporation Gas through the Fort Wayne Community School System for the City Fleet Department, WPC Plant and Parks and Recreation Department
Total cost of $3,696,263
Three union contracts, a LEDGE agreement with the County and GreatBatch Medical as well as assignment of property from the Fort Wayne Redevelopment Commission to the County’s Redevelopment Commission round out the agenda.
