Title
Corrine Brown Transit Facility Security Upgrades (B)
This item is a request for the City Commission to approve the purchase of additional security equipment from Security 101 for the Corrine Brown Transit Facility.
Explanation
In 2011, the City Commission contracted the Design/Build Services with CPPI (Charles Perry Partners Inc.) for the construction of the Corrine Brown Transit Facility for the Regional Transit System (RTS). During the planning phase for construction of the Corrine Brown Transit facility, staff had to prioritize and delay portions of the construction project to ensure completion within budget; one of the areas affected was the security system portion of the construction project.
Upon completion of the larger portions of the project, RTS realized funds which were not expended as programmed that can be utilized for the portions of the project that were delayed. Staff would like to use some of these project funds to purchase the additional cameras needed at the facility that were postponed due to anticipated budget restrictions. The proposed security project will cost $125,447, and entails upgrading and adding cameras in the employee parking lot, adding a barcode reader at the employee parking lot and adding cameras to the second floor of the maintenance shop where bulk spare parts and equipment are being stored.
Security 101 won the security portion of the original project, which was bid by CPPI, and completed the initial installation of the security system. For compatibility purposes RTS seeks approval of the City Commission to select Security 101 as the specified source to complete this portion of the project. This will ensure that all new equipment installed will be compatible and function with the existing equipment.
