Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to enter into contracts and issue purchase orders in the amount of up to $39,393.00 to replace the security system at the Department of Public Service’s facility at 1820 E. 17th Avenue.
The existing security system is not functioning and needs replaced. The new security system will use Matrix Systems security equipment (the existing city standard security equipment). The new system will allow for better control of access to the premises and help reduce asset loss. In addition, the new system will allow city security staff to remotely monitor the 1820 E. 17th Avenue facility.
The department requests that bidding be waived for the purchase of hardware and the installation/repair costs associated with this project. The 1820 E. 17th Avenue facility does not receive any funding from the general fund and the Department of Public Service pays the costs of these systems instead of the Department of Finance and Management. For city security service to monitor the new system, the equipment must be compatible with current established security system standards. To ensure the needed compatibility, the Department of Public Service must procure the equipment and installation work from the same companies used by the Department of Finance and Management.
The following companies will be used for this project:
