Explanation:
In 2025, the Police Department and the Parking Division expanded the City's technology initiative to enhance crime prevention and deterrence by installing License Plate Readers (LPRs) and CCTV cameras citywide, providing full perimeter coverage. The initiative used Flock Safety equipment and software. The current Blanket Purchase Agreement was authorized by R-2024-315.
The Police Department and the Parking Division desire to maintain and potentially expand the City's technology program to support investigations and daily operations. Continuing this program maintains the installed cameras and standardizes future hardware and software purchases, enhancing productivity and operational efficiency. Purchases will be made over five years, in an amount up to $555,000.00 annually. The equipment and software will be procured based on the software/hardware procurement exception. The annual current costs are approximately $300,000.00. This item allows for the expansion of the technology program in future years, based on operational needs and funding availability.
Fiscal Impact:
A portion of the funding for these services is available in account numbers 001.204001.52100.531170.000000.000.000 and 446.159901.54500.563010.001494.000.000,
