FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: MAY 7, 2024
SUBJECT: SECURITY EXPERT ACCESS CONTROL UPGRADE
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider approval for the purchase and installation of
security expert access control upgrade for existing access doors at
various City facilities from Schneider Electric.
FUNDING SOURCE: Funds are available in the Capital Projects (General Facilities) Fund for an
amount not to exceed $545,621.
BACKGROUND: The current access control system has become a legacy system with
limited support. The access control upgrade will provide full support,
modern features, and allow us to fully integrate our access control with a
video surveillance system. This upgrade will keep our security standards
compliant with CJIS (Criminal Justice Information Services) requirements
and jail standards. The project will also allow staff at City Hall, The REC,
Library, and other facilities to be monitored by Public Safety personnel and
dispatch. This includes duress buttons, video feeds, remote door control,
intercoms, and emergency lock down capabilities.
This purchase will be made in accordance with existing and interlocal
agreements with Omnia Partners Public Sector, Region VIII Education
Service Center in Texas as allowed by Texas Local Government Code,
Section 271 and Texas Government Code, Section 791.
Bids were taken by the Cooperative and a contract was awarded to
Schneider Electric. The Public Works and Purchasing staff reviewed the
contract for departmental specification compliance and pricing and
determined that the contract would provide the best service and pricing for
meeting the needs of the City.
Staff recommends approval.
