Title
Video System Upgrade request for Police and Municipal Court
Summary
DESCRIPTION OF TOPIC:
The present jail camera system is an outdated analog to DVR recording. Many of these cameras are the original units installed in and around the year 2000. The present system uses the XP operating system which is no longer supported by Micro Soft and the equipment being used is not upgradable to any newer operating systems. This puts the City in a precarious situation due to losing the camera system at any time. This upgrade will allow the use of newer technology and much better recording options with long term storage capabilities. At present we can only record for about 20 to 25 days. We will be able to expand this to 40 to 45 days based on estimates.
The Correction Fund can be used to pay $50,000.00 of the total cost. This is an allowable expense according to the law governing the use of the Correction Fund. The additional funding will need to be paid out of the general fund at this time. According to our records, pending the final audit, we are expecting to come in under the total fiscal year 2014 budget by almost $100,00.00. The additional funds needed to fund this upgrade will be $56,042.72 which, according to our data and pending final review by finance, we should still be under total budget for this year.
We are requesting this work be awarded to Security 101, the Vender who is heading up the design and install for Project Sky Guardian. This new system is compatible with the system being used for Project Sky Guardian.
The system will also require the purchase of a new switch which we are request funding of $2788.12 and to be purchased from CDWG on state approved contract.
Since this is a confidential subject matter concerning the Safe and Secure Operation of the Jail, per State Bid Law, this project does not have to be bid due to security issues and equipment being available for public viewing.
