RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Sheriff–Coroner, a purchase order with AT&T Global Services in an amount not to exceed $405,000 to provide network equipment in support of the AXON BWC (body-worn camera) and patrol VDC (vehicle dash camera) project.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% Sheriff's Office, General Fund.
BACKGROUND:
The network bandwidth required increases dramatically with video uploads to evidence.com. There will be 700 BWCs and 190 VDCs deployed. The current network can’t handle this load. The purchase includes switches, licenses, hardware, software, maintenance/support, cables, power supply, and mounts required for a holistic network deployment. Testing was performed to determine the locations that require new switches and wireless access points. This is a one-time infrastructure implementation cost.
