Roswell to spend $92,031 on Emergency Operations Center AV system
Summary
The council approved spending $92,031.26 in bond funds to complete audiovisual design, installation and programming for a modern Emergency Operations Center; staff said cooperative purchasing and reuse of equipment reduced the cost from an earlier $120,000 estimate.
The Roswell committee approved $92,031.26 in bond funding to buy and install audiovisual equipment for the city’s Emergency Operations Center. Chief of Fire Pavel Troche told the council the contract covers design, installation and programming for large displays, special encoders and video‑conferencing tools needed to monitor weather and camera feeds.
Troche said the original estimate was about $120,000 but a cooperative purchase with Barrow County School District and reuse of existing equipment reduced the price to $92,031.26. “So it really puts Roswell in a great place to have an advanced emergency operation center with modernized technology,” Troche said. Councilmember Christopher Zach asked whether the city’s IT staff could maintain the specialized AV gear; Troche replied that the technology has been supported by IT for a decade and is currently in use at the Roswell Alpharetta Public Safety Training Center and City Hall.
The motion to move the item forward passed unanimously (motion by Councilmember Sarah Beeson; second by Mayor Mary Robicheaux). Staff indicated the purchase is a separate contract (not part of the general contractor) and therefore requires committee approval because it exceeds the $75,000 threshold.
