Explanation
This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Recreation and Parks Department to enter into contract with Advanced Engineering Consultants, Ltd for the design and engineering of security system cameras at various Recreation and Parks facilities.
Background: There are currently security cameras at most of the Recreation and Parks community centers, athletic complexes and special use facilities, which were installed through contracts in 2008 and 2011. This project includes design services which will add cameras to the Airport, Champions, Mentel Memorial, Raymond and Turnberry Golf Courses and Berliner Park, which currently do not have cameras. It will also include additional units at multiple Community Centers. The additional cameras are being added to improve coverage of blind spots that have been identified. The engineering firm will inventory and evaluate sites, develop programs with staff, create reports, produce cost estimates, assist with bid documents and perform construction administration for all installations.
The existing security cameras have made great strides in reducing crime and improving safety in and around Recreation and Parks facilities. The community and staff have asked for these additional cameras to aid in areas where coverage is missing and have indicated that this is a high priority for the safety of customers. This project will support the mission of the Recreation and Parks Master Plan by enhancing the safety and security of the public while using the parks and facilities.
