Question Response Deadline: February 29, 2024, 5:00pm Project has been cancelled. The City of Benicia is looking to replace current cameras with newer models with new technology including pan, tilt and zoom (PTZ) functions. Cloud storage of footage and access to recorded footage for two (2) years may be accessible by multiple users. All cameras should be PTZ with one single view and be appropriate for either indoor or outdoor use. The cloud software for viewing the camera footage and download recordings should be at the enterprise level with multiple users being able to view the cameras, making sure we are quoted for enough licenses (50). All camera views should be visible from any workstation within the city. All current cameras have power and network connection either on our physical network or a sim card modem setup. New cameras to be installed must be compatible with both of these setups. Cameras should have low profiles to make sure that there are not any issues with our Historic buildings. If existing cameras can be used and incorporated into the new system that would be a benefit, some cameras have been installed less than one year ago. City staff will identify those separately. The Benicia Police Department and City of Benicia invites qualified public safety surveillance system vendors to submit proposals to provide a new surveillance system 11 locations in total including following eight (8) City facilities and community locations: City Hall, Police Department, Benicia Community Center / Clock Tower, Library, and other community locations. There are three (3) new sites that the City wishes to install cameras supported by the surveillance system as well. A list of all sites with their location, address, and number of cameras needed at each location is listed in Section 4, Scope of Work. There will be a total of 55 cameras located at City facilities, 19 cameras located throughout the community, and 5 new cameras at 3 new community locations, for a total of 79 cameras. Electrical undergrounding for the three new locations is necessary. Software and equipment required include Camera system software application(s), server storage, and cameras that function via power over Ethernet, which will be monitored in the Police Communications Center. The vendor will be responsible for site assessment, system design, equipment procurement, installation, and staff training. This proposal shall include separate bids for each City facility and community location and shall include local server storage or cloud storage options for up to a year. The City is looking for modern camera technology that includes enhanced zoom features; pan, tilt, and multi directional views. The City will also need software to view and monitor the footage and cloud based storage. The software must integrate with the media wall at dispatch center, including the ability to download footage to computers or mobile storage devices. Background

COB recognizes the importance of maintaining a secure and well-monitored environment of key municipal facilities and public spaces. The current security camera systems in use at various facilities and community locations have reached a point of failure and are in need of replacement. The objective of a new security camera system is to establish an integrated and scalable solution
