E DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
The Water Division has contracted with a video management and surveillance camera consultant
(Leverage Information Systems, Inc.) to upgrade the Water Division camera surveillance system.
This camera system allows for monitoring of the Water Plant Headquarters as well as critical
water facilities scattered throughout the City. As part of the camera upgrade, it was determined
that a first order requirement for the new system is the construction of a new higher antenna
tower capable of holding the required receiver equipment for both the new camera surveillance
system along with existing SCADA components that allow for remote water facility operations.
This antenna will be located at the Water Plant Headquarters and will replace the existing
antenna. The existing antenna will be relocated to a yet to be determined location to act as a
future backup antenna for the SCADA control system.
To facilitate the design and construction of the required antenna tower, a request for proposal
(RFP) was developed and sent to three qualified antenna consultants. The RFP requested
consultant proposals for the design and construction services required to successfully construct
and integrate the required antenna. Only one consultant, Applied Technology Group, Inc., of
Bakersfield, CA responded. Two other consultants declined to submit a proposal as it was out of
their work plan or they just declined to respond. Upon staff review, Applied Technology Group,
Inc. was found to be qualified and staff is recommending award of the contract to Applied
Technology Group, Inc. Applied Technology Group, Inc. will be working with the Water
Division's Engineering Section and Community Development's Planning Division on the design
and construction of the new tower antenna.
The total estimated cost for the consultant's work, which will include design, construction
oversight services, and integration, is $38,100.00.
