Council approves 2-year contract for new park cameras at $9,819 installed
Summary
After a walkthrough and proposal from Advantage Security, Council contracted for eight vandal-resistant cameras to be installed at Rec Center, Fairmount Park and Nitchkey Fields for $9,819 (2-year term).
Advantage Security proposed replacing failing park and Recreation Center cameras and providing local storage with optional cloud transfer. Company representative Duane Ness presented an installed cost of $9,819 for eight vandal-resistant cameras plus $2,420 for hard-drive equipment; Ness offered a two-year contract at that price after Council expressed reluctance about a seven-year term. Council approved contracting with Advantage Security for installation of eight cameras at $9,819 on a two-year term; the motion passed unanimously.
Ness said the system can generate notifications during specified hours and be accessed on and off campus. Solicitor Samantha Craley advised the Borough to limit initial contract terms and use automatic month-to-month renewals thereafter. The Council did not approve cloud storage costs at the meeting; staff were asked to finalize contract language and term consistent with solicitor recommendations.
