Explanation
Background: This ordinance will authorize the Director of Recreation and Parks to enter into contract with Security Risk Management Consultants, Inc., aka (SRMC) for consulting and related services for assessment, design and equipment specifications associated with Closed Circuit Television Systems (CCTV) for twelve (12) of the Department's Recreation Centers. SRMC's services will include, but are not limited to, assessing the twelve (12) Recreation Centers, surveying findings, visiting sites, interviewing on-site staff, determining anticipated costs for implementation at each facility, participating in pre-bid meetings with vendors and general project management support during the equipment installation process.
