body
BACKGROUND
This Supplemental Agreement will convert the contract previously awarded by Council in September 2019, by Resolution No. 19-1407, for the purchase and installation of hardware, software, and maintenance for a video surveillance camera system, from the originally awarded indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity method to a fixed price, not to exceed contract. Such change in structure ensures compliance with the Texas Local Government Code’s change order provisions.
This Supplemental Agreement will also reallocate $1,457,109.25 from the purchase of cameras to be used instead for services required for the expansion of a more comprehensive center to be known as the Real-Time Crime Center (RTCC). The expansion will incorporate the originally planned video monitoring center with the existing Fusion Center at Jack Evans Police Headquarters. By combining both centers, the Dallas Police Department (DPD) will create one integrated RTCC. This new RTCC will serve as the central hub for DPD Video One and Fusion Center Divisions for monitoring cameras and gathering information for criminal investigations.
The RTCC will allow for a more collaborative effort in gathering, analyzing, and sharing information critical to investigations. Officers will now be provided with a single and comprehensive report that will include both video and social media intelligence on criminal activity. This Supplemental Agreement will also allow for increased maintenance to provide full coverage of the expanded RTCC.
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW (COUNCIL, BOARDS, COMMISSIONS)
