Discussion:
The purchase and installation of (9) IP cameras mounted on the light poles at the David W.
Deane Skateboard Park will allow us to review any issues that occur at the park. The system
also can view portions of the parking lot and the entrance to Mine Falls Park. The information
from these cameras will be stored on a DVR that can hold 30 days' worth of footage. The
cameras can be also accessed remotely via the web for live monitoring.
The upgrade to the Street Department system will replace and oid system that is currently not
operational. The proposal includes the replacement of an existing analog camera with an IP
camera and (3) additional IP cameras. The replacement camera will be mounted on the NE side
of the Street Department building. The new cameras will be mounted on the Southwest comer of
the Street Department facing the sand and salt barn and the traffic building. There will be two
cameras mounted on the traffic building, one facing the west end of the fleet garage and one
facing the material storage and rear lot. The video upgrade will allow monitoring of the entire
facility which will help protect materials, vebicles and equipment that we are unabie to store
inside.
The City Information Technology (IT) Division is working to modernize and integrate all
security cameras and access control sysiems for a!l City buildings and properties into the City’s
centralized systems. This will provide ease of monitoring, configuration, management and
training. This also ensures that equipment is consistent throughout each City entity which
simplifies maintenance and provides a seamless transition into established practices and
protocols. This vendor has been used by the City over a number of years under different
names. The IT Division constantly compares their pricing against their competitors. Therefore,
it is felt that Sole Source is justifiable in this instance.
