FILE NUMBER
Award a contract to Gexpro for the purchase of an automated security
system for the Santa Ana Jail in the amount of $59,290.00.
DISCUSSION
The Police Administration and Jail Facility was completed in 1996. To
ensure the safety and security of both staff and inmates, the jail
includes an automated security door control system that utilizes a
programmed logistic controller. This system consists of hardware and
software that interfaces the touch screen control panels with the doors,
intercoms and security sensors. The current system is 13 years old, is DOS
based and no longer supported by the vendor. Therefore, it is no longer
cost effective to maintain. In replacing the system, the City gains
administrative control over upgrades, system enhancements and increased
operating capacity.
The notice inviting bids was advertised on July 8, 2009 and bids were
