Item # 12.1
 
SUBJECT:

Technology Agreement for Sheriff's Office.

MEETING DATE:
October 20, 2026
 
SUBMITTED BY:
Jacqueline Meisner
SUGGESTED ACTION:

Consider request from Sheriff's Office for a consolidated agreement with Axon Enterprise Inc. for existing and future public safety technology, equipment, software, licensing, support, and related services, for an initial annual cost of $3,441,563.00 beginning in FY2027, with a total 10-year contractual value of $37,287,493.75.

FACTS AND ISSUES:

The Sheriff’s Office currently utilizes multiple Axon products and services, including TASER, body-worn cameras, Fleet 3 in-car camera systems, Axon Evidence, associated software, licensing, equipment, integrations, training, and support. These products are currently managed through separate agreements and purchasing arrangements.

 

The proposed agreement will consolidate the existing Axon technology into one comprehensive 10-year agreement. Consolidation will provide a standardized contractual structure, predictable annual costs, coordinated equipment replacement cycles, and continued compatibility across the existing Axon technology ecosystem.

 

Maintaining a single integrated platform supports continuity in digital evidence collection, storage, management, officer safety, training, and operational workflows. Transitioning to another vendor would require substantial replacement or duplication of existing equipment, software, integrations, training, administrative processes, and evidence-management infrastructure.

 

The proposed agreement has an initial annual cost of $3,441,563.00 beginning in FY2027 with a total 10-year contractual value of $37,287,493.75. This agreement will replace and supersede all Sheriff’s Office’s existing Axon contracts, consolidating all current Axon products and services into one comprehensive agreement.

 

The proposed procurement utilizes Sourcewell Contract #101223-AXN, awarded through a publicly advertised competitive solicitation and evaluation process.


The Procurement Department reviewed Axon's proposed pricing, including the vendor's stated list price of $41,443,217.87 and proposed contract price of $37,287,493.75. The proposed pricing represents a reduction of $4,155,724.12, or approximately 10.03%, from the stated list price.

 
 This project is included in the Sheriff's Office FY2027 operating budget.
