Contract Award to Siemens, Inc. October 17, 2017 Page 2 additional Code Blue Help Points within the Civic Center to enhance the safety of local employees and the visiting public. The existing 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. All were installed, designed, and configured by Siemens' Infrastructure & Cities team. The overall system has demonstrated its value repeatedly in pro -active policing efforts, criminal and administrative investigations, and within court system. The City's Parks and Recreation Department has expressed a desire to join the City's system by adding the following planned projects. On September 19, 2017, the City Council approved funding to add cameras to several city parks and community centers. The most effective system would connect the cameras to the existing camera system network that is maintained by the police department.

Maintenance costs for years 2-3 are contingent upon UASI grant funding. Should this grant funding not be secured staff will evaluate alternative funding to continue maintenance of this system. Current Vendor: The current vendor (Siemens) has unique institutional knowledge of a very complex, integrated solution that involves several sub -systems they engineered, built, and have been maintaining since 2010. Furthermore, the current vendor has dedicated a single engineer who possesses pre -requisite certifications in our primary software (video management) and hardware, and in which no other single vendor in our region possesses. Cisco Gold, HP OEM or equivalent, and Milestone Platinum certifications are minimum requirements due to the mission critical nature of the systems. These certifications provide evidence of technical expertise and experience in supporting similar systems in similar environments. 25D-2
