A five-year contract costing nearly $1.6 million has been approved for Apache Junction police computer-aided dispatch, records management and mobile field reporting software.
The Apache Junction City Council voted unanimously Nov. 15 to award a contract to Mark43 for the first year costing $490,645.00 with four additional automatic one-year renewals costing $269,062.00 for a total not to exceed $1,566,893. In the vote the council also rejected bids by Tyler Technologies and Capers North America.
Funding given to the city from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 — also known as the COVID-19 stimulus package or American Rescue Plan — will be used to pay for the first year of the contract.
