FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: MAY 2, 2023
SUBJECT: PURCHASE OF A CAMERA SYSTEM RENOVATION FOR GRAPEVINE
MAIN
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider the approval for the award of an informal request
for quote for the purchase of video storage, video management software,
and professional services for Grapevine Main from Infassure Technology
for the IT Department.
FUNDING SOURCE: Funds are available in the Capital Projects General Facilities Fund budget
for an estimated amount of $29,107.
BACKGROUND: This purchase is for video storage, video management software, and
professional services for the administration of the video surveillance
cameras at Grapevine Main to be managed by Grapevine Main staff and
reside on premise on the Grapevine Main network.
Currently the majority of the cameras at Grapevine Main reside on the
City owned storage and City owned camera management software
located at the Grapevine Public Safety Building. Grapevine Main has a
separate network from the City network which has caused complexity and
making it difficult to manage/ troubleshoot for both City staff and
Grapevine Main staff.
Informal quotes were taken in accordance with the City Purchasing Policy.
Formal bids and advertisements are not required for purchases under
$50,000. Three quotes were submitted as noted below. Infassure
Technology submitted the lowest quote meeting specifications.
Infassure Technology $29,107.
Schneider Electric $68,187.
ADT $91,938.
Staff recommends approval.
