BACKGROUND
The replacement detention facility requires a Livescan fingerprinting system as part of the booking process. Digitized fingerprints are transmitted to the U.S. Department of Justice to confirm identities of incarcerated persons and to inform staff of criminal histories. The Livescan machine currently in use at the Hall of Justice is a stand-up model and was purchased in 2021 and has a useful life of five years. The space designated for Booking in the replacement detention facility is configured for a desktop model Livescan. Without a jail project change order, there isn't sufficient space in the replacement facility to accommodate the current Livescan machine. The current machine can be retired when the warranty period ends June 30, 2025.
The cost of the unit includes a one-year warranty.
Requested Actions:
1. Authorize the purchase of a Livescan fingerprinting system for the replacement detention facility.
