Explanation
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify its contract with SGI Matrix, LLC for the purpose of providing Parts, Installation, Maintenance, Monitoring, Repair and Support Services for both new installations and existing security equipment for the various locations of the Department of Public Utilities (DPU).

This agreement provides for the repair/replacement and servicing of all accessible components and devices, emergency service calls and 24 hours a day, 7 days a week telephone support, panel and peripheral component replacement for the various electronic systems.
