Title
Consideration of and action on authorization to purchase a Genetec Surveillance and Access Control System for the City Maintenance Complex (located at 4100 Luella Drive) to be purchased 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 initial citywide framework for upgrading to Genetec Synergis and Omnicast systems. In addition, IT will upgrade other city locations using this initial platform in the coming years, providing a much-needed upgrade to an aging platform with little stability and limited support.
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.
Fiscal/Budgetary Impact:
Budgeted in FY 2021-2022 in the following accounts:
10-200-49040, Machinery and Equipment - IT Services, $67,165.00 (Software)
10-200-44040, Building - IT Services, $36,850 (Hardware)
Recommended action
Authorize purchasing a Genetec Surveillance and Access Control System for the Maintenance Complex under DIR contract DIR-CPO-4766.
