Board discusses procurement, price range and installation steps for replacement webcams
Summary
Staff told the board it must obtain three bids to buy six replacement cameras (priced $279–$679), and IT staff described installation steps and a likely longest task at the McCaulay mountain wireless bridge; the board asked for procurement to proceed under policy.
Board members and staff discussed purchasing six replacement webcams, procurement rules and installation logistics.
A staff member said the town's procurement policy requires three quotes and gave a price range for camera units from $279 to $679 depending on desired capabilities. The board heard that the town already has a contract with IT resource John Clark and contact Jason who has private-sector experience; members said they did not want the private operator Steve to incur monetary loss for the transition.
Members asked about ongoing costs for remote locations. John Clark said that within the town's infrastructure there is typically no monthly cost beyond the initial camera purchase, but remote cameras using cellular connections could incur data costs; he estimated a potential recurring cost on some remote sites of about $100 per year. The McCaulay (wireless) bridge and calibration were identified as the likely longest installation tasks.
Board members directed staff to proceed under procurement rules to obtain three quotes and to plan installation and wireless bridge work; no formal roll-call vote was recorded in the transcript.
