-I JEAN- 21985 renn BOOK F1GE 1 ,COMPUTER SYSTEM FOR DEPARTMENT OF DETENTION General Services Director Dean made the staff presentation, as follows: TO: The Honorable Members of DATE: December 26, 1984 FILE: the Board of County Commissioners Thru: Michael Wright Computer System for County Administrator SUBJECT: Department of Detention FROM: H • T . "Soy Dean REFERENCES: General Ser ices Director Prior to October 1, 1984, while making preparations to transfer the Indian River County Jail over to the Board of Commissioners we anticipated the need of computerization for keeping of records in the jail. Using funds left over from fiscal year 1983-84 an IBM System 36 was purchased to accomplish the desired goals. Delivery of this hardware will be during the week of December 24, 1984. We have $17,640.70 left to purchase the software that will be used. After long hours of discussion and searching for software that would accomplish all the tasks associated with our Department of Detention and relying on Indian River County Data Processing Department for programming, we are without any commitment to get the job done. As detailed in the attached correspondence, you can see we have made all the efforts. It is, therefore, requested we be allowed to contract with H.T.E. of Orlando for a total of $18,000 to supply us with a complete program. Using the JAM II program as a guideline, H.T.E. will develop a customized program to meet all our needs. This price is half the price usually charged for this work. However, H.T.E. has a selfish interest as they will be developing something that can be used in other -detention facilities throughout the state of Florida. Our advantage is this special rate for the work performed and the availability of their company to see the program works without extra charges. We have extended the use of our system to the Sheriff since the two records are so closely related. 18
