INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA <br /> MEMORANDUM CONSENT <br /> TO: Jason Brown, County Administrator <br /> THROUGH: Richard B. Szpyrka, P.E., Public Works Director <br /> FROM: Manny Cabo, Telecommunications Manager <br /> SUBJECT: Indian River County Courthouse Renovation Project-ACS Keycard Security/ <br /> Access Systems—Sole Source Provider Request <br /> DATE: October 14, 2019 <br /> BACKGROUND <br /> In October of 2017, Public Works completed a project to replace the failing key card access <br /> system at the Indian River County (IRC) Courthouse with a Lenel Access Control System (ACS) <br /> keycard security/access systems. Securitas ES Inc. was contracted by the County to replace the <br /> failing Courthouse access systems with the state of the art Lenel ACS keycard security/access <br /> system. The system was chosen due to compatibility with the access systems at other <br /> Courthouses that are used by the 19th Judicial Circuit. <br /> The new IRC Courthouse ACS security systems are currently supported and maintained by <br /> Securitas ES Inc. Due to the complex nature of licensed security/access systems, the Board <br /> declared Securitas ES as the sole source provider for Courthouse Security Access System <br /> maintenance and repairs. Martin County Board of County Commissioners also employs the same <br /> Lenel ACS systems. Securitas ES Inc. supports all of the Martin County Courthouse ACS <br /> systems. <br /> ANALYSIS <br /> The IRC Courthouse is currently undergoing a "Courthouse Renovation Project" involving <br /> construction of a new Courtroom (Courtroom # 8), and relocation of most business offices and <br /> personnel from the Courthouse second floor to the first floor, into the old Law Library area. <br /> It will be necessary for Securitas ES Inc., to expand the existing Lenel ACS keycard <br /> security/access system to accommodate the new Courtroom and business offices being <br /> constructed as part of the renovation project. <br /> Several of the system's components, including the ACS security system management & control <br /> cabinets, are custom fabrication items, and may take from 4 to 6 weeks to be fabricated and <br /> delivered to the IRC Courthouse, once the ACS project order is placed by Securitas ES Inc. <br /> Page 2 <br /> 117 <br />
