Explanation
Background: This ordinance will authorize the Director of Pubic Safety to enter into contract with Security Risk Management Consultants, Inc., (SRMC) for consulting and related services for the assessment, design and implementation of the Fire Division's security card access control system. SRMC will provide active participation from beginning to end of this project, including, attending pre-bid meetings with the security contractors, evaluating the security contractors proposals and recommending the award thereof, as well as provide project management throughout the implementation and installation process.
