Explanation
This ordinance is to authorize the Director of Recreation and Parks to enter into contracts with KNS Services for the continued security camera software maintenance in accordance with the sole source procurement provisions of the City of Columbus City Codes.
Background: Both City Hall and Recreation and Parks facilities have security cameras which have Genetec operating systems. Genetec requires the software to be upgraded and maintained by KNS Services. Sole source procurement provisions of the City of Columbus City Code Chapter 329 will be used to enter into these contracts.
KNS will provide a software maintenance agreement to the City Hall monitored cameras including the cameras installed at Recreation and Parks facilities. This agreement will provide software upgrades to the City Hall system as needed, and provide service support from Genetec as needed.
A five-year commitment, subject to annual approval and authorization, created an overall savings of $48,743.00 to the City of Columbus.
Recreation and Parks’ cameras will cost $113,738 over this five-year period. A contract, purchase order, and voucher in the amount of $22,747.60 yearly will be administered by Dept. 51-01.
Initial contract term will commence March 1, 2019 and end February 28, 2024.
