Memorandum
Attached for your review and approval is a resolution authorizing a Professional Services Agreement to Presidio Networked Solutions Group, LLC in the amount of $338,621.72 to upgrade the City's Access Control System (door card readers, badges/key cards, controller boards, power enclosures, software) (RFP #21-10).
The City's current Access Control System is over 16 years old and is end of life, meaning it is no longer sold or supported and finding replacement parts is becoming more difficult and very expensive. It is imperative to upgrade the Access Control System to keep the City on a fully functional and supported system to protect City buildings and keep City employees safe. Included in the Access Control System upgrade is adding 7 new doors at Wheeler to the system.
Budget/Fiscal Impact: Information Technology budgeted $200,000 to upgrade the system in FY22. After reviewing and scoring all proposals, Presidio's solution was scored the highest. The review team felt Presidio offered the best solution based on the original RFP requirements. In Presidio's RFP, they included the option to replace all card readers. The IT department needed to and were planning on replacing all card readers over the next few years and are recommending we replace all card readers as part of this project. Upgrading the card readers during the project rather than later, will save the City $7,192.62. We are asking that an additional $138,621.72 be appropriated from the Information Technology Fund Balance for the replacement of the card readers.
