E32527– Approve spending authority in the amount not to exceed $319,466.70 for the purchase of D3 mobile security camera trailer systems from SHI Government Solutions through Omnia Partners Purchasing Cooperative for the Solid Waste Management Department (SWMD).
Specific Explanation:
The Director of the Solid Waste Management Department and the Interim Chief Procurement Officer recommend that City Council approve spending authority for the purchase of D3 mobile security camera trailer systems in the amount not to exceed $319,466.70 through Omnia Partners Purchasing Cooperative and that authorization be given to issue a purchase order to SHI Government Solutions.
This purchase includes ten (10) D3 mobile security camera trailer systems and a 12-month cloud-based subscription. The subscription includes 24/7 monitoring surveillance software via the LiveView Technologies (LVT) platform and support center. The cameras will be used in the northeast and southeast areas of the city which experience disproportionate amounts of illegal dumping on rights-of-ways and vacant lots. The mobile security camera trailers systems are solar-powered, self-sustaining, and self-mounted on trailers with minimal set-up required. The new units will be delivered to SWMDs receiving facilities within thirty days from receipt of the City of Houston purchase order.
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."
