SUBJECT:
A Resolution authorizing the Director of Purchasing to purchase CCTV devices and access control devices from Scientel Solutions LLC., 2021 N Eola Rd, Aurora, IL 60502 for $189,305.25.

This has provided Scientel with extensive knowledge of the City's CCTV network. Pricing for improvements is based upon the agreements in R21-135.
This deployment will continue to be managed by Scientel with oversight by the IT Department. As defined in the Illinois Prevailing Wage Act, a Certified Transcript of Payroll will be provided to the City for all applicable work completed on this project.
