Council ratifies IT, fiber and AV contracts for new Gardena Community Aquatic & Senior Center
Summary
The council ratified administrative approvals for VectorUSA and AMS.net/MGT Impact Solutions to provide fiber connectivity, network infrastructure and audio‑visual systems for the Gardena Community Aquatic & Senior Center, approving a project total of about $693,002 funded by Measure G bond proceeds.
The Gardena City Council on Feb. 10 ratified administrative approvals for proposals to equip the new Gardena Community Aquatic and Senior Center with fiber optic connectivity, network infrastructure, cameras and audio‑visual systems.
Staff presentation and costs: City staff said purchases were made under two governmental cooperative agreements to expedite procurement. The vendor proposals totaled $602,795; staff included a 15% contingency ($90,419) for a project total of $693,002.14. Staff listed Measure G bond proceeds as the funding source.
Why the council ratified: staff said the use of cooperative purchasing agreements (including a national contract held by VectorUSA) allowed the city to buy at competitive rates and to move forward on a tight construction schedule to complete the aquatic center.
Vote and next steps: after receiving a question about warranties, staff said hardware has manufacturer warranties but the proposals do not include long‑term monitoring; the council ratified the administrative approvals with a 5‑0 vote and authorized staff to complete ordering and scheduling under the cooperative agreements.
Attributions: The city manager presented the item and answered budget and procurement questions; Councilmember Francis questioned warranty coverage.
