PF a INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA MEMORANDUM TO: Jason E. Brown, County Administrator FROM: Richard B. Szpyrka, P.E., Public Works Director Vincent M. Burke, P.E. Utilities Director SUBJECT: Designation of CDA Solutions, Inc. as Sole Source Provider for the Digital Watchdog CCN Security Camera Systems for Indian River County DATE: January 24, 2018 DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS Indian River County currently operates several secure CCN (security camera) systems at multiple IRC building and site locations. Digital Watchdog CCTV security camera systems are currently being used at County Administration Buildings A & B, Fleet Management, and at the three main communication tower sites (North, Hobart, and South). IRC has established independent and secure fiber optic network connections to each of these active IRC CCTV system locations, and each of these remote locations is set to failover to a centralized Digital Watchdog — County network storage server in the event of a local Network Video Recorder (NVR) failure. The central server is currently located in a centrally located, secure location. CDA Solutions Inc. supports all the active Digital Watchdog CCTV systems currently installed. The central server, to support the addition of the proposed locations and to allow for redundant storage (locally on the NVR and on the central server), will need to be upgraded to allow for the additional storage space required. We have a quote for the necessary upgrade that will allow for the storage and future expansion as needed. CDA Solutions Inc. was selected to provide the current CCTV systems, including the video records storage main server, by way of several competitive quote requests, for multiple IRC locations, over time. Throughout this process, CDA Solutions Inc. has consistently provided the most cost effective proposals to the County, and has provided reliable products and professional support, for IRC CCTV system installations. CDA is the only known vendor reasonably capable of supplying these services due to their extensive knowledge of County Security Systems. As part of its FY 2017/2018 approved budget, the Utilities Department is looking to upgrade the Network Video Recorder (NVR) camera systems at the Utility Operations Center, and the Fellsmere Customer Convenience Center (CCC) with Digital Watchdog systdms. They may also be looking to standardized components and systems at the South RO Water Treatment Plant, North RO Water Treatment Plant, and Sebastian Utilities Office at some future time. To ensure continuity with our CCTV security systems, recorded video information from these proposed sites will be stored locally with the option to back up this data on the centrally located server. The Digital Watchdog — County network storage server will allow for remote and local cameras access from a standard platform to allow interoperability between County Departments. IRC Courthouse - Main CCN security camera system currently operates on a Milestone software application. As a result of multiple additions, changes, and several IRC Courthouse site construction projects, the current Main CCN system hardware and software at IRC Courthouse has been extended to its operational limits, within the capacity of the current software and CCTV system site license
