RECOMMENDATION:
The VRE Operations Board is being asked to authorize the Chief Executive Officer to
execute a contract with Signet Technologies of Beltsville, Maryland for the purchase
and installation of twenty security cameras at the Manassas VRE station parking garage
in the amount of $93,679, plus a 10% contingency of $9,368, for a total amount not to
exceed $103,047.
BACKGROUND:
In August of 2009, the VRE Operations Board authorized a solicitation for the purchase
and installation of twenty security cameras at the Manassas parking garage. Six
proposals were received in response to the RFP and three firms were selected for
interviews. Of those three firms, Signet Technologies is being recommended for award.
Cameras will be placed in the interior and exterior of the parking facility and include a
capability to view the platform. The scope includes the purchase and installation of 20
security cameras and all networking components necessary to record video feed and
remotely access to the system software. The firm will also run conduit and install
network devices required for the complete and successful operation of the cameras.
Remote access will be provided to authorized City personnel, including the police, and
VRE staff. Work will be completed in 60 days and includes a one year warranty period
on both parts and labor.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding for this project is included in the VRE CIP as part of the Manassas parking
deck projects. Funding is available from a FY 2004 federal grant. The local match is
provided using state and local funds, including those from the City of Manassas.
