Issue/Request:
An Ordinance approving an agreement between the City of Lee’s Summit and Paragon Tactical, Inc., for warranty and maintenance services for police firing range for a period of five years, and authorizing the City Manager to sign all documents necessary to effectuate the same by and on behalf of the city.
Key Issues:
The maintenance of the police firing range is an ongoing project with many components that need to be continually maintained. The software that runs the system must be continually upgraded to stay current with advancing technology, updates and patches. The range was opened in 2014 and since that time has had over 700,000 rounds of fire. There are numerous mechanical working parts of the system that operate several hours at a time on a weekly basis. These mechanical operations are controlled by a computer software program via a wireless controller. Occasionally both the mechanical components and software program need minor and major repairs or replacement. Without a maintenance contract, which covers the cost of the repairs and replacement of parts, the cost to the city would be a much higher premium pricing for technician(s) time and materials used to make repairs. Additionally, the city would incur costs for software upgrades in order to keep the system up to date and current.
