Title
Consideration of and action on authorization to purchase a Genetec Surveillance and Access Control System from DATAVOX under DIR contract DIR-CPO-4766.
Body
Summary:
As identified in the updated 2020 5-year Strategic Technology Master Plan (STMP), this city surveillance and access control upgrade phase will provide the citywide framework for upgrading to Genetec Synergis and Omnicast systems. This is the fourth phase of the Genetec Surveillance and Access Control Migration, providing a much-needed upgrade to an aging platform with little stability and limited support. Phase IV will focus on EMS Station (located at 1700 East Boulevard), Library (located at 3009 Center St.), Maxwell Center (located at 1201 Center St.), & Luella Complex (located at 4100 Luella Ave.) Total cost of this upgrade is $ 133,833.36.
Advantages of the new systems include a seamless, integrated approach to access control and surveillance compared to the existing separate component system. Also, information collection and storage will be in one location, simplifying investigations and providing an in-depth view of each event. In addition, access will further be streamlined into a single sign-on using Microsoft Windows Active Directory. Lastly, the new system allows the city to utilize multiple vendors for support resulting in faster service times while lowering costs.
