Pryor Creek Recreation Center board approves Orion bid for controlled-access system
Summary
The Pryor Creek Recreation Center board voted to accept a $5,463.67 estimate from Orion Security Solutions to install a card-reader controlled-access system on the facility's east employee entrance; two estimates were received and Matlock did not submit a proposal.
The Pryor Creek Recreation Center board on June 12 accepted an estimate from Orion Security Solutions for $5,463.67 to install a card-reader controlled-access system on the facility's east employee entrance.
Board members discussed two submitted estimates during the meeting: Digi submitted an estimate listed in the packet at $4,102.67, and Matlock Security did not submit a bid. The meeting packet contained a clarification that some figures in the staff report had been transposed; the board member presenting the item said the correct total for Orion is $5,463.67 and that both Orion and Digi hold state OEMS contracts. After discussion of prior service experiences with Digi and the lower-than-expected price offered by Orion, a board member moved to accept Orion’s estimate and the motion was approved.
The east employee entrance currently has no camera coverage, and staff said the door is used by employees and can be a point of unmonitored entry. The approved system will keep the door locked at all times and use staff ID cards with unique ID numbers so credentials can be deactivated if an employee leaves. Staff estimated adding a close-up camera to the new system could cost an additional $3,000 to $5,000. The board noted a longer-term vision — discussed by staff and the mayor — of centralizing city cameras and access for dispatch-like monitoring, but this action applies only to the single door.
Votes at a glance: the board approved (1) the minutes from the previous meeting and (2) the Orion Security Solutions estimate for $5,463.67 for the east employee entrance controlled-access system. The minutes approval was moved and seconded during the meeting and the board adopted the motion; the Orion bid was moved and approved later in the meeting.
Next steps include scheduling the work with the vendor and confirming whether a camera will be added to the new access system; staff said they will pursue camera estimates after installation of the lock hardware.
