Title

Authorize a five-year cooperative purchasing agreement for the purchase of software and hardware that provides a situational awareness and integration platform for City and privately owned surveillance camera systems for the Police Department managed by the Department of  Information and Technology Services with ICU Technologies, Inc. through the General Services Administration cooperative agreement - Not to exceed $478,589.10 - Financing:  General Fund ($191,435.64), Homeland Security-Urban Area Security Initiative 2022 Grant Funds ($95,717.82), and UASI 2022 Fusion Project Fund ($191,435.64) (subject to annual appropriations)

 

Body

BACKGROUND

 

This action does not encumber funds; the purpose of a cooperative purchasing agreement is to establish firm pricing for services, for a specific term, which are ordered on an as needed basis.

 

This cooperative agreement will allow for the purchase of software and hardware that provides a situational awareness and integration platform for City and privately owned surveillance camera systems for the Police Department managed by the Department of Information and Technology Services.  Hardware purchased through this agreement and installed at the Police Department (DPD), and other City facilities allows DPD to access camera systems when responding to an incident.  This video feed is real-time and provides valuable intelligence that can be relayed to responding officers before they arrive on scene or while on scene. Additionally, private business and third parties will also be able to purchase the same hardware from the vendor and connect their video feed to DPD as well. Video data obtained from these City owned and private camera systems can assist in evidence collection after an incident has occurred.

 

This hardware also adds automated license plate recognition capabilities (ALPR) to the camera system that it is installed on.  This added ALPR capability increases DPD’s ability to detect and locate vehicles of interest.  Analytics included in the hardware provide added efficiencies to automatically search video data using specific criteria, negating the need for an officer to manually search all the data feeds.

 

 

The General Services Administration cooperative agreement is authorized by Chapter 791 of the Texas Government Code and Subchapter F, Chapter 271, Texas Local Government Code.  Section 271.102 of the Texas Local Government Code which authorizes a local government to participate in a Cooperative Purchasing Program with another local government or a local cooperative organization.
