RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation Concerning the Purchase of a Security Camera System for the Escambia County Area Transit - Amy Lovoy, Management and Budget Services Department Director

That the Board authorize the County to piggyback off of the GSA Contract #GS-07F-0421K, in accordance with the Escambia County, Florida, Code of Ordinances, Chapter 46, Article II, Section 46-44, Application; exemptions; and Section 46-64, Board approval, and award a Purchase Order to Vicon Industries, Inc., in accordance with quotation #140354-6, PD 12-13.043, in the amount of $99,954.04, for the purchase of a Security Camera System for the Escambia County Area Transit.

[Funding: Fund 320, FTA Capital Project Fund, Cost Center 320415, Object Code 56401]

BACKGROUND:

The present system is old and unreliable. Many of the cameras do not function the way they are supposed to. The technology that runs the system is not of good quality, many times when trying to retrieve images they are fuzzy and/or distorted to the point they are unusable. There is also insufficient coverage due to a lack of enough cameras to cover the whole facility. We have had several recent instances where we needed these images to support or/discredit incidents that have occurred only to find out we could not get a clear picture or that the image was not recorded because the camera did not work at the time.

BUDGETARY IMPACT:
