Board awards camera contract to STS for $43,166
Summary
After reviewing four bids, the board awarded a Rhombus-based camera system contract to STS for $43,166; technology staff said the system met needs without added facial-recognition or license-plate upsells.
Technology staff (S8) presented four bids for a campus-wide security camera upgrade; the low bid from STS totaled $43,166 while the high bid was about $70,000. Staff recommended the STS Rhombus-based system because it met the district's needs without enrolling in additional facial-recognition or license-plate-readers. "Our low was 43. Our high was 70..." S8 said when summarizing bid prices, and Committee member (S2) moved to award the contract to STS for $43,166.
The motion to award the bid to STS was seconded and passed by voice vote. Staff noted the system will place cameras in each hallway (with no camera placed in the gym by default) and discussed repurposing existing units where appropriate. Because the contract value exceeds the district's $40,000 informal-threshold, staff emphasized procurement rules and the need to document reasons if a non-low bid were chosen.
