REQUEST:
The Police Department requests Commission approval to piggy-back off the Western States
Contracting Alliance (WSCA) contract #1907 with the State of Florida for wireless air card
services for the Police Department's laptop computers, the expenditure of FY12/13
budgeted funds in the amount of $38,808 and to authorize the City Manager and City
Attorney to prepare and execute any and all applicable documents. This contract is good
through October 31, 2016 and we seek approval to use it through its lifetime.
SYNOPSIS:
The Police Department laptops require wireless communications connectivity to a variety of
entities. The WSCA contract is available through the State of Florida for wireless air card
services providing the best monthly rates available. The Police Department requests
authorization to use this contract through its lifetime, to expend FY12/13 budgeted funds
totaling $38,808 and to authorize the City Manager and City Attorney to prepare and
execute all required documents.
CONSIDERATIONS:
Police Department laptop computers require wireless connectivity with the
Communications Center, The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE), the
Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV), and all other jurisdictions
within our Region on a 24-hour/7-day a week schedule. Wireless air card service is
required as a recurring expense in the amount of $38,808 annually. This service allows for
the dispatching of calls for service, transmission of law enforcement sensitive information,
and day-to-day operations of the Police Department such as report writing and exchange of
information.

Regulatory Surcharges and Fees
Verizon Wireless’ pricing does not include federal, state, local or foreign fees, assessments or other charges (collectively “fees”), which must be billed based on the
jurisdiction in which the subscriber’s cellular number is set up and located. Fees vary by state and local areas and are subject to change without notice.
Verizon Wireless cannot provide a comprehensive list of all charges and regulatory fees required and assessed when using a wireless device because they vary
greatly from one jurisdiction to another.
In addition to taxes, surcharges and fees that we are required to collect, we will also collect charges to recover or help defray costs of taxes and governmental
surcharges and fees imposed on us, and costs associated with governmental regulations and mandates on our business. These charges include, among others, a
Regulatory Charge and a Federal Universal Service Charge, and are described below in more detail. These charges are Verizon Wireless charges, not taxes, and
are subject to change. Because these charges are not taxes, your tax exemptions, if any, will not apply to these charges.
Federal Universal Service Charge
Wireless carriers are assessed by the federal government to fund the delivery of universally-affordable telecommunications and information services under the
Federal Universal Service Fund (FUSF) program.
The Federal Universal Service Charge (FUSC) is a percentage of the customer’s applicable monthly wireless service charges based upon an assessment rate that
changes quarterly. The rate for the quarter beginning – April 1, 2012 is 3.96% of the following items:
Cellular Access for voice calling plans (only on first 79% of this item)
Verizon Wireless Toll
Roaming Charges
Activation Charges
Re-connect fees
Landline Connect Fee
TXT Messaging monthly service
TXT Messaging usage
Airtime usage for voice calls
Mobile to Mobile feature
Nights and Weekends feature
Toll free feature
The FUSC on other separately billed interstate and international long distance charges is 17.4%.
The quarterly percentage rate described above for the FUSC is applied in our billing system.

Addenda and Attachments can be found on AboutWSCA.org site for your consideration and review
Verizon Wireless also imposes state universal service charges. These charges vary by jurisdiction and are subject to change depending on changes in the state
universal service impositions on Verizon Wireless.
Regulatory Charge
The FCC assesses wireless carriers the costs of enforcement, policy and rulemaking. The Regulatory Fee recovers Verizon Wireless’ share of these costs, as well as
some of the costs of implementing regulatory mandates, such as number portability. The Regulatory Charge is a flat charge of $0.16 per Mobile Telephone Number
(MTN) per month (excluding BroadbandAccess and NationalAccess Plans) and is $0.02 per mobile number per month for BroadbandAccess and NationalAccess
Plans, but is subject to change over time.
Regulatory fees impacting the wireless industry are constantly evolving and are subject to change without notice. For more information you can visit the FCC’s
website at www.fcc.gov.
The FUSC and Regulatory Charge are included in the “Verizon Wireless Surcharges” section of the bill.
