Title
Resolution authorizing a contract with Stanley Convergent Security Solutions of Noblesville, Indiana, to procure a Harding DXL Intercom system, as well as digital communication controllers and expanders, for the jail intercoms in the amount of $84,800.
Staff Summary
• In 2003, an analog Harding DXI Intercom System was installed at the Lake County Adult Correctional Facility by Stanley Convergent Security Solutions.
• Stanley Convergent Security Solutions is the vendor that installed, and provides an ongoing service and emergency maintenance contract, to the security systems for Lake County’s jail and community-based corrections center, including the detention door locks, security cameras and intercoms at the jail.
• Harding is phasing out support for the analog DXI system and the new digital, detention intercoms for the holding cells at the new court tower are incompatible with the existing DXI system.
• The new digital Harding DXL intercoms will replace the three DXI access servers, and 63 analog control cards; all the intercoms and wiring will remain.
• Pursuant to Article 6, Section 102, the Purchasing Agent convened an ad hoc review group that approved bid exemption on the basis of an existing long standing successful relationship for professional services, and the knowledge gained through this relationship adds value integral to the services provided.
