BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The 2019 Bond Program authorized the construction of Westside Community Center Library, Police Station, Fire Station #2, and the Zipp Family Sports Park. Additionally, Fire Station #7 and the Fire Training Facility are authorized for construction through the Creekside TIRZ No. 1. A Request for Qualifications and Quotes was released on July 7, 2021 to cooperative participants for the selection of a contractor for design, consulting, equipment and installation services for security and access control systems. Responses were evaluated and Knight Security Systems was the highest ranked proposer. Knight will be providing a modern Access Control System that includes door contacts, badge readers, etc. Additionally, Knight will be providing and installing new security cameras as well as a new Video Management System to manage the cameras and associated video.
The cost allocations referenced below for Fire Station #7, Fire Training and Zipp Family Sports Park are limited to their portion of the Video Management System and video recording storage, not actual cameras and/or access control equipment, which is still being finalized. Final design decisions will be made for additional equipment once they are in their construction phase. The additional equipment requests for these projects will be brought back to Council for approval.
Staff is recommending award to Knight Security Systems through a cooperative contract with Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR) which meets competitive bid requirements. The total contract amount for all facilities is $522,401, plus an additional ten percent contingency ($54,240) for a total contract of $574,641. The cost breakdown per building is as follows:
Westside Community Center Library - $56,317
Police Station - $425,279
Fire Station #2 - $18,698
Fire Station #7 - $7,369
Fire Training Center - $7,369
Zipp Family Sports Park - $7,369
