Contract Award to Siemens, Inc.

<br />The requested projects will integrate seamlessly into our existing system, leveraging some
<br />existing infrastructure (servers, wireless radios/microwaves, video management software, etc).
<br />Selecting a new vendor would require altering the current architecture, completely re -designing
<br />the existing system, and/or possibly swapping hardware and software components, resulting in
<br />higher overall costs to the City. The current vendor is able to solely address and maintain all
<br />repairs, troubleshooting, expansion, and perform system monitoring. Other vendors will either
<br />not execute a contract to do this work (because they did not design / build / install it).
<br />Alternatively, they will have to sub -contract with several other companies to maintain the varying
<br />sub -systems within our solution, which will also undoubtedly increase the overall contract costs.
<br />Lastly, the current vendor owns remote monitoring services that are custom designed to monitor
<br />the overall health of our system and rapidly report on any system failures or malfunctions. This
<br />remote monitoring system has been built to include redundant processes to ensure operational
<br />reliability. This service is currently provided at no additional cost to the City. The monitoring
<br />platform is built to cover SAPD's customized environment. The cost to implement a third party
<br />equivalent is unknown, but would require additional hardware and software. No budget has been
<br />established for this service, which is already included in the current vendor's Service Program.
<br />STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
<br />Approval of this item supports the City's efforts to meet Goal #1 Community Safety, Objective #1
<br />(Modernize the Community Policing philosophy to improve customer service, crime prevention
<br />and traffic / pedestrian / bicycle safety), Strategy J (Partner with downtown business and
<br />merchant associations to enhance security measures and provide a safe environment (e.g. video
<br />surveillance, additional security and police efforts, etc.))
