Agreement with Siemens, Inc. December 1, 2015 Page 2 The existing City of Santa Ana Video Security System is an over - arching network of camera and software subsystems that are federated. This means though they each have some autonomy, they are all connected to the Police Department's dedicated data center which houses the main control servers. The subsystems include the Police Administration Building, Civic Center, Main Library, and the Garfield Community Center. The City now desires to expand the existing camera system with two additional subsystems to further increase the safety of residents, visitors, and all employees. The expansion will begin implementation of the "Santa Ana Video Security Enhancement Program ". This program will increase the presence of video security as well as other public safety services into the City's Downtown Historic District with the installation of 60 strategically placed cameras, and seven Courtesy Communication Monuments (CCM) mounted in the most critical areas of Downtown. The CCM's will each be equipped with a pan /tilt/video camera on top, four inter - connected cameras providing a 360 degree picture, a forward- facing camera at eye - level, an emergency "911" call button (direct to SAPID dispatch), and a courtesy (411) button for citizens needing local information or direction (direct to Downtown private security). The cost for this phase of the project is $670,348. Furthermore, the second phase of the enhancements will replace the legacy camera system within the Santa Ana Police Detention Facility utilizing modern technology, 160 cameras, and new hardware. The enhancement program will increase the City's security camera system capabilities by 220 cameras, for a City -wide total of 321 cameras. The cost for this phase of the project is $707,145. The base agreement is for $1,377,493 and a 10% contingency has been added for unanticipated and /or necessary improvements, for a total not to exceed amount of $1,515,243 for a 12 month period. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT Approval of this item supports the City's efforts to meet Goal #1 Community Safety, Objective #1 (Modernize the Community Policing philosophy to improve customer service, crime prevention and traffic / pedestrian / bicycle safety), Strategy J (Partner with downtown business and merchant associations to enhance security measures and provide a safe environment [e.g. video surveillance, additional security and police efforts, etc]). 25D -2
