SPECIFIC EXPLANATION:
The Director of the Houston Airport System and the Chief Procurement Officer recommend that City Council approve an ordinance appropriating $1,001,857.47 out of the Airports Renewal and Replacement Fund (8010), and authorizing a Derivative Agreement between the City of Houston and Preferred Technologies, LLC through the Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR) for an eight (8) month term for the installation and camera system upgrade at William P. Hobby Airport (HOU) for the Houston Airport System (HAS).
This scope of work requires the Contractor to enhance video surveillance coverage across both interior and exterior areas of HOU by installing additional cameras in locations where coverage gaps were identified by HOU Security and HAS IT. Input from the HOU Houston Police Department (HPD) Tactical Unit and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) designated high-risk areas to expand coverage within terminal interiors, building exteriors, parking garages, and surrounding roadways. These services are essential for the upgraded system to support real-time surveillance and recorded footage review for investigative purposes. The term shall be for eight (8) months, not to extend beyond the contract expiration date of February 17, 2026, unless otherwise amended.
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.”
