Board okays $925,709.79 contract with CSC for school security cameras
Summary
The board approved entering a contract with CSC to replace and install security cameras at district schools, recommending a total cost of $925,709.79 to be paid from the GO bond; the vendor confirmed equipment does not include Chinese parts that would prohibit federal funds.
District facilities and technology staff recommended awarding a contract to CSC for a systemwide security camera upgrade at the high school and elementary schools, recommending a contract total of $925,709.79 to be paid from the district’s GO bond.
The presenter said installations will take place outside school hours and that server installation would come first so cameras brought online would be immediately available. The presenter told the board the recommended price was within the budgeted GO bond amount and that the committee received multiple vendor responses to a request for proposals.
A board member asked, "These cameras, have we ensured that they do not include the Chinese parts that would prohibit any federal money?" A CSC representative present at the meeting replied that the equipment did not include such parts and that the vendor had received positive references from other school corporations. The board moved, seconded and approved entering the contract by voice vote.
The presenter did not provide a precise phased timeline for the first server transition at the meeting and said they would need to coordinate with the vendor to finalize start dates.
