SUBJECT:
Title
Approval of a contract with Sequel Data Systems Incorporated, in the amount of $147,924 for the purchase of a video archiving network.
Body
BACKGROUND / RATIONALE:
The current system for video storage is 6 years old and has no additional expansion capability. This new system will provide a more current technology solution, with much larger expansion capabilities, allowing the City to continue with storage of an increasing amount of video from in-field cameras. Evidence laws and best practices for video storage continue to create increased demands in the amount of data storage required to retain video for prosecution, case files, etc. A newer technology will be useful in allowing a more scalable solution, in addition to possible cloud storage options in the future.
Sequel Data Systems Incorporated is a participant if the Department of Information Resources (DIR) cooperative contract. Therefore, utilizing the DIR cooperative agreement satisfies our procurement obligation.
