DATE: October 26, 2021
SUBJECT:
A Resolution authorizing the purchase of surveillance cameras, server and support for the Stolp Island Parking Garage from Siemens USA, Mt. Prospect, IL in the amount of $67,705.00.
PURPOSE:
Under previous resolution, R21-206, the City of Aurora requested Scientel to procure and install a Surveillance System at the Stolp Island Parking.
Subsequent to the approval of that resolution, city staff learned that the Genetec products listed in R21-206 needed to be purchased from a Genetec-approved value added reseller (VAR).
BACKGROUND:
Genetec does not sell direct, but only through VARs.
The Genetec quote included in R21-206 was for $68,181. By going through approved VAR Genetec the costs were reduced to $67,705.
DISCUSSION:
Purchase of Genetec equipment and licenses will be completed through Siemens, but the on going management of the solution will be done by Scientel through the already-approved managed service for city-wide cameras.
Funding for this will be paid from account 340-1380-419.74-11 (CIP #122)
IMPACT STATEMENT:
Without this Genetec equipment and associated licenses, the cameras at Stolp Island Garage will not function. By approving this resolution, the spend for R21-206 will be reduced by $68,181 and replaced by the $67,705.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Approve resolution authorizing the purchase or surveillance cameras, server and support for the Stolp Island Parking Garage from Siemens USA, Mt. Prospect, IL in the amount of $67,705.00.
