Oftentimes, these violations involve <br />public nuisances and activities that are detrimental to the health and safety of the <br />community. The use of these security cameras will enable city personnel to monitor the <br />alleged community complaints regarding illegal cannabis activity, illicit massage parlors, <br />graffiti, street racing, narcotic houses, illegal dumping of trash, and other chronic public <br />nuisances locations. Having the ability to accurately see the alleged activity with the <br />security cameras allows the City to properly address the violations through potential <br />criminal enforcement and through highly effective civil abatement proceedings. This <br />purchase is for 20 cameras and accessories, which will ensure that all departments will <br />be able to address the specific issues, and the Police Department already has the <br />necessary training to install the equipment. These cameras are specifically designed so <br />they can be installed and removed from various locations as part of any on-going <br />investigation. <br />An Invitation for Bid (IFB) was advertised on March 2, 2022 on the City’s online bid and <br />management publication system. A summary of the bid invitation and bids received is as <br />follows:
