RE: POLICE DISPATCH VOICE RECORDING SYSTEM
Request: APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY
MANAGER TO ENTER INTO AGREEMENT WITH REPLAY SYSTEMS
FOR THE PURCHASE OF POLICE DISPATCH VOICE RECORDING
SYSTEM IN THE AMOUNT OF SEVEN THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED
NINETY ONE DOLLARS ($7,791.00).
Description: All police department dispatch communications (telephone and radio) are recorded
for legal purposes and compliance with FDLE. The existing Dialogic voice recording system at
the Police Department stopped operating after a severe hardware failure on March 16th, 2009.
Several attempts were made to recover the system since the product has been discontinued since
2004 and spare parts cannot be located. Police dispatch inability to record dispatch
communications placed the Police Department out of FDLE compliance and created a safety
issue for officers and the City. Several Police Departments (Coral Gables, Doral, Aventura,
Pinecrest and North Miami Beach) were contacted for vendor reference and all referred Replay
Systems. Replay Systems proposed the installation of an 8 channel voice recording system
which allows the recording of 3 dispatch telephone lines and 2 police radio channels with
additional expansion capacity. In an effort to reduce any possible liability to the City and
comply with FDLE requirements on March 24th, 2009 purchase order 0900476 was issued to
Replay Systems as emergency purchase.
Financial Impact: Not Budgeted
Account: 21-521643 Amount: $7,791.00
Implementation Time Line:20-30 days
Legislative History: None
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval
Analysis: Replay System was selected based on several factors such as the referrals received
from other local municipalities, Replay Systems is a local vendor, and the fact that Replay
Systems does not utilize any proprietary software or hardware. Their products are based on the

use of the shelf products which they support 100%. FDLE compliance and officer safety were
the leading factors driving the selection of a local vendor and procuring a system.
