…body
EXPLANATION: The Village of Wellington Information Technology (IT) Department has been upgrading the aging five (5) year-old License Plate Reader hardware throughout the Village of Wellington. In coordination with the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office (PBSO), we have determined that the best option is to upgrade the cameras at all locations. Since the original installation of Wellington’s LPR system, PBSO has transitioned exclusively to Flock Group LPR cameras due to several unique proprietary technologies making the system more effective and secure. Flock provides hardware, maintenance, support, and performance monitoring of all cameras. The total cost for the upgrade is $129,550.00, which includes the removal of old hardware, installation of new hardware, and locks in 24 months of licensing, maintenance, and support.
The 24-month contract term will begin with the date the last camera is installed.
Staff recommends awarding a Sole Source contract to Flock Safety for the Purchase, Delivery, Installation, and Maintenance of License Plate Recognition (LPR) Cameras and Software in the amount of approximately $129,550.00.
