School district approves $119,010 purchase of servers to store security camera footage
Summary
The Sheboygan Area School District approved buying seven servers after a competitive bid process to store recordings from roughly 705 indoor and outdoor security cameras; district staff said the servers are dedicated to camera systems and will be funded from board-designated funds.
The Sheboygan Area School District’s Committee of the Whole voted to approve the purchase of seven replacement servers to store and manage security camera footage.
District staff said the district solicited bids and received four responses, with Vanguard Computers submitting the lowest qualified bid at $119,009.95. Staff said the servers are intended solely for security camera storage and archival management and would be used for both interior and exterior cameras. During discussion, staff reported the district currently operates about 705 cameras and that the new servers are needed to maintain recording capacity and software management.
Board members asked whether the servers would be used for other data collection; staff answered they are strictly for security cameras. Administration indicated that funding would come from board-designated funds. The motion to approve the purchase passed on a voice vote.
The district did not provide a roll-call vote tally in the meeting transcript. Next steps are procurement and implementation of the server hardware; staff did not provide a firm delivery or installation schedule in the presentation.
