TO: MAYOR Donchess
FINANCE COMMITTEE
SUBJECT: Re: Safe Station Door Access and Controls
in support of the Safe Station initiative launched by Mayor Donchess recenily, the East Hollis St Fire Station and Lake St Fire
Station require additional infrastructure to provide safety for the civilian employees at those locations. Both stations
require an Access Control System to be installed which will provide controlled access to the office areas via a magnetic
badge, the same system that is used throughout other City buildings. These two systems will be added to the centralized
system maintained by the City’s Risk Department which provides the ability to change entry codes with a click of a button.
The cost is $13,028.83 for East Hollis St and $12,038.24 for Lake St. Since it is an extension to our current system it is a sole
source and did not go out to bid.
The third item is to install a video intercom system at both stations so the employees inside will be able to see and
communicate with people at the door, and unlock the doors from their desk. This will be integrated into the new VOIP
phone system that is being implemented across the entire City. Eventually, the dispatchers at the Fire Alarm building will
also be able to tap into the intercom systems for the two locations during non-business hours. This item also did not go out
to bid since it is integrated into our city wide telecom project and Custom Computer Specialist was already awarded the
bid. The cost to add this to both Fire stations is $18,938.78.
Respectfully,
Bruce Codagnone
