			General Manager	Line Item No.
Prepared By:			Suresh Prasad	Cost Estimate:	$50,000
Committee Recommendation: The Administrative Committee reviewed this item on February 16, 2022 and recommended approval.
CEQA Compliance: This action does not constitute a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15378.

SUMMARY: District currently has three primary facilities (Harris Court Administration, Aquifer Storage Recovery (ASR) Facility, Sleepy Hollow (SH) Facility). None of the facilities are equipped with functional surveillance system. Due to security concerns, it is recommended that a camera surveillance system be installed to monitor all three facilities from a single dashboard. In the past, there has been security breaches outside the Harris Court Administration Building.

Since the surveillance system will be part of the District’s IT network to connect all three facilities together, it is strongly recommended that District’s current IT service provider (DeVeera) be responsible for purchasing, installing, and configuring the system.

DeVeera has provided a quote for the equipment and installation of the system. Additionally, ASR and SH facility will need trenching and conduit work which will be provided by YSS Builders. A quote is attached for the trenching and conduit work.

Total cost of the surveillance system project is estimated at $45,404.96. Due to shortage and delay in acquiring equipment, an additional $4,595.04 is added as contingency, bringing the total authorized amount to $50,000.

RECOMMENDATION: The Administrative Committee recommends that the Board approve expenditures not-to-exceed $50,000 to acquire and install surveillance system.

IMPACT TO STAFF/RESOURCES: The FY 2021-2022 fixed asset budget includes $30,000 for these purchases. Additional $20,000 funding will be allocated during mid-year budget process.

BACKGROUND: The District currently does not have any surveillance system in place to monitor any of its facilities. Due to security concerns, it is highly recommended than a surveillance system be installed to monitor all of the District facilities.
