Approval of Annual Physical Access Control (Genetec) Support Contract, in the Amount of $97,585
OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
Long Technologies contract will support the system that enables secure access into the City’s buildings and deliver operational, financial, and environmental benefits by providing timely certified Genetec technicians, reliable incident response, and vendor-managed parts. While the City has a similar service support contract with a current vendor on a month-to-month basis, the City’s needs are consistently unmet, resulting in delays and travel time for City staff to supply parts. We would like to move away from our current contract that delivers inconsistent services and, instead, contract with Long Technologies for improved support and service time.
