S17-E32376 - Approve an ordinance authorizing the appropriation of $2,466,478.09 out of the HAS-Airports Improvement Fund (8011) and to authorize a derivative agreement between the City of Houston and Preferred Technologies, LLC through the Department of Information Resources for a maximum contract amount of $2,466,478.09 for the purchase of security cameras, installation, software, hardware, and warranty for the Houston Airport System.
Specific Explanation:
The Director of the Houston Airport System and the Interim Chief Procurement Officer recommend that City Council approve an ordinance authorizing the appropriation of $2,466,478.09 HAS-Airports Improvement Fund and to authorize a derivative agreement between the City of Houston and Preferred Technologies, LLC for a one-year (1) term through the Department of Information Resources (DIR) for a maximum contract amount of $2,466,478.09 for the purchase of security cameras, installation, software, hardware, and warranty for HAS. The Director of HAS may terminate this agreement at any time upon thirty (30) days written notice to the contractor.
Based on a 2019 Joint Vulnerability assessment conducted by Hobby Airport Security, Transportation Security Administration (TSA), and Houston Police Department, this purchase will add 170 security cameras to its current inventory located at William P. Hobby Airport (HOU). The purchase of the new cameras will be located at Hobby Airport West Concourse (interior & exterior) and TSA Security Checkpoints. The items will come with a manufacturer warranty, while maintenance will be managed through current in-house personnel and existing HAS Enterprise Service Support Agreement (ESSA). The security cameras will be integrated into the existing Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) Max Pro software support agreement.
The scope of work requires the contractor to provide all personnel, management, supervision, transportation, equipment, labor, and incidentals necessary to provide and install security cameras for the HAS.
This recommendation is made pursuant to subsection 271.102(c) of the Texas Local Government Code, which provides that "a local government that purchases goods or services [from a cooperative purchasing program or organization] satisfies any state law requiring the local government to seek competitive bids for the purchase of the goods or services.”
These items were presented to the City Council Transportation, Technology, and Infrastructure (TTI) Committee meeting on June 7th, 2022.
