VI. Reason for Authority Cited: Emergency Communications Network is the only company that has developed and marketed a proprietary site license and technical support for the City Watch Program. The technical support provided under this agreement is actually conducted by the Emergency Communications Network that built and developed the City Watch Program. VII. Market Research/Efforts to Obtain Competition: Market Research was conducted by the use of several search engines on the internet. There is only one source for a proprietary City Watch site license and that is Emergency Communications Network. The procurement of any other product will put RRMC at risk because unresolved software issues will result in failure and possible loss of life and/or property.
