Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order and enter into an agreement with Networkfleet, Inc., for vehicle location system maintenance. This purchase order will expire on December 31, 2013.
Networkfleet, Inc., the sole source provider for maintaining the vehicle location system, has submitted prices for the services required.

Funds are available in Account 101-15000-612860.
