The failure of the scoreboard is imminent, as the repair service calls have significantly increased this season, in comparison to years prior. This contract will facilitate necessary timely upgrades and reduce the possibility of critical failures. The Parks, Recreation and Community Facilities Department and Purchasing recommend authorizing the purchase using the Sourcewell cooperative contract with Daktronics, at $250,000 annually, with an annual increase allowance of up to 5%, or the adjusted Consumer Price Index.

Amendment to the Term Contract for Legal Process Service for the Photo Safety Program for the Mesa Police Department (Citywide) In June 2015, Council awarded a contract to Hot Shot Delivery for Legal Process Service for the Photo Safety Program.

The 2015 contract has expired. The amount requested herein is needed for past legal process service, and continuing payment of the remaining legal process cases. No new cases are being assigned to the vendor under this contract. Service cost is included in the payment to the Court, so the program is cost neutral to the City.
