Purpose and Recommended Action
Recommendation
This is a request for City Council to authorize the City Manager to enter into a services agreement with Access Security Services International, Inc., dba ASSI Security of Arizona (ASSI), to provide CCTV and electronic access controls, and approve expenditure of funds in an amount not to exceed $79,100..body
Background
The City has three water treatment plants, two water reclamation facilities, several groundwater wells, and numerous other facilities that are monitored by closed circuit television (CCTV) 24 hours every day. Several locations’ systems have reached the end of their life cycle and need to be replaced. This project will replace the camera systems at four locations and update the facility electronic access controls. The project will also add equipment to areas needing additional surveillance.
Analysis
The department received three quotes from qualified vendors to provide and install the CCTV and access equipment. ASSI submitted the lowest responsive, responsible quote and was selected as the provider.
Community Benefit/Public Involvement
Securing the water and wastewater treatment facilities is key to providing safe and reliable water and sewer services for the community. Water services are listed as critical infrastructure under Home Land Security and Presidential directives.
Budget and Financial Impacts
Funding is available in the Water Services Fiscal Year 2016-17 capital budget.
