rights therein,at all times exercising at least a reasonable level of care.Each party agrees to restrict access to the

the disclosure.For clarity,Flock may access,use,preserve and/or disclose the Footage to law enforcement
authorities,government officials,and/or third parties,if legally required to do so or if Flock has a good faith belief
that such access,use,preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to:(a)comply with a legal process or
request;(b)enforce this Agreement,including investigation of any potential violation thereof;(c)detect,prevent or
otherwise address security,fraud or technical issues;or(d)protect the rights,property or safety of Flock,its users,a

retrievable without a valid court order.
2. Agency and Non-Agency End User Data.As between Flock and Agency,all right,title and interest in the
Agency Data and Non-Agency End User Data,belong to and are retained solely by Agency.Agency hereby grants
to Flock a limited,non-exclusive,royalty-free,worldwide license to use the Agency Data and Non-Agency End
User Data and perform all acts with respect to the Agency Data and Non-Agency End User Data as may be
necessary for Flock to provide the Flock Services to Agency,including without limitation the Support Services set
forth in Section 2.9 above,and a non-exclusive,perpetual,irrevocable,worldwide,royalty-free,fully paid license to
use,reproduce,modify and distribute the Agency Data and Non-Agency End User Data as a part of the Aggregated
Data(as defined in Section 4.4 below).As between Flock and Agency,Agency is solely responsible for the
accuracy,quality,integrity,legality,reliability,and appropriateness of all Agency Data and Non-Agency End User
Data.As between Agency and Non-Agency End Users that have prescribed access of Footage to Agency,each of
Agency and Non-Agency End Users will share all right,title and interest in the Non-Agency End User Data.This
Agreement does not by itself make any Non-Agency End User Data the sole property or the Proprietary Information
of Agency.Flock will automatically delete Footage older than 30 days.Agency has a 30-day window to view, save
and/or transmit Footage to the relevant government agency prior to its deletion.
3. Feedback.If Agency provides any suggestions,ideas,enhancement requests,feedback,recommendations or
other information relating to the subject matter hereunder,Agency hereby assigns(and will cause its agents and
representatives to assign)to Flock all right,title and interest(including intellectual property rights)with respect to or
resulting from any of the foregoing.
4. Aggregated Data.Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,Flock shall have the right to

other information relating to the provision,use and performance of various aspects of the Services and related
systems and technologies(including,without limitation,information concerning Agency Data and data derived
therefrom).Agency acknowledges that Flock will be compiling anonymized and/or aggregated data based on
Agency Data and Non-Agency End User Data input into the Services(the"Aggregated Data").Agency hereby
grants Flock a non-exclusive,worldwide,perpetual,royalty-free right and license(during and after the Service Term
hereof)to(i)use and distribute such Aggregated Data to improve and enhance the Services and for other marketing,
development,diagnostic and corrective purposes,other Flock offerings,and crime prevention efforts,and(ii)
disclose the Agency Data and Non-Agency End User Data(both inclusive of any Footage)to enable law
enforcement monitoring against law enforcement hotlists as well as provide Footage search access to law
enforcement for investigative purposes only.No rights or licenses are granted except as expressly set forth herein.
5.PAYMENT OF FEES
1. Fees.Agency will pay Flock the first Usage Fee,the Installation Fee and any Hardware Fee(defined on the
Order Form,together the"Initial Fees")as set forth on the Order Form on or before the 7th day following the
Effective Date of this Agreement.Flock is not obligated to commence the Installation Services unless and until the
Initial Fees have been made and shall have no liability resulting from any delay related thereto.Agency shall pay
the ongoing Usage Fees set forth on the Order Form with such Usage Fees due and payable thirty(30)days in
advance of each Payment Period.All payments will be made by either ACH,check,or credit card.The first month
of Services corresponding to the first Usage Fee payment will begin upon the first installation.For 10+-camera
frock safety
offerings where only some of the cameras are installed at the first installation and additional cameras will be
installed later,prorated Usage Fees corresponding to the then-installed cameras will be invoiced to Agency
immediately after installation and to the later camera installation(s)subsequently invoiced.
2. Changes to Fees.Flock reserves the right to change the Fees or applicable charges and to institute new charges
and Fees at the end of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term,upon sixty(60)days'notice prior to the end of such
Initial Term or Renewal Term(as applicable)to Agency(which may be sent by email).If Agency believes that
Flock has billed Agency incorrectly,Agency must contact Flock no later than sixty(60)days after the closing date
on the first billing statement in which the error or problem appeared,in order to receive an adjustment or credit.
Inquiries should be directed to Flock's customer support department.Agency acknowledges and agrees that afailure
to contact Flock within this sixty(60)day period will serve as a waiver of any claim Agency may have had as a
result of such billing error.
3. Invoicing,Late Fees;Taxes.Flock may choose to bill through an invoice,in which case,full payment for
invoices issued in any given month must be received by Flock thirty(30)days after the mailing date of the invoice.
Unpaid amounts are subject to a finance charge of 1.5%per month on any outstanding balance,or the maximum
permitted by law,whichever is lower,plus all expenses of collection,and may result in immediate termination of
Service.Agency shall be responsible for all taxes associated with Services other than U.S.taxes based on Flock's
net income.
4. No-Fee Term Access. Subject to Flock's record retention policy,Flock offers complimentary access to the
Flock System for 30 days("No Fee Term")to Agency when Non-Agency End Users intentionally prescribe access
or judicial orders mandate access to Non-Agency End User Data.No hardware or installation services will be
provided to Agency.No financial commitment by Agency is required to access the Flock Services or Footage.
Should such access cause Flock to incur internal or out-of-pocket costs that are solely the result of the access,Flock
reserves the right to invoice these costs to Agency under Section 5.3 and Agency agrees to pay them.For clarity,
No-Fee Terms and Service Terms can occur simultaneously,and when a No-Fee Term overlaps with a Service
Term,Agency agrees to pay the Initial Fees and Usage Fees payments according to Section 5.1.

institution by or against the other party of insolvency,receivership or bankruptcy proceedings,(ii)upon the other
party's making an assignment for the benefit of creditors,or(iii)upon the other party's dissolution or ceasing to do

HEARING:
SUBJECT. (ALL)Authorize an Agreement with Flock Group Inc. d/b/a Flock Safety, in an Amount Up
to $500,000.00 Annually to Purchase Automated License Plate Camera Readers for the
Information Technology Department on Behalf of the City of Fort Worth Police Department
and Code Compliance for an Initial One-Year Term with Nine Options to Renew at the
City's Discretion
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council Authorize an agreement with Flock Group Inc. d/b/a Flock
Safety, in an amount up to $500,000.00 annually to purchase automated license plate camera readers
for the Information Technology Department on behalf of the City of Fort Worth Police Department and
Code Compliance. The agreement will be for an initial one year term with nine options to renew at the
City's discretion.
DISCUSSION:
The Information Technology Solutions Department (ITS) requested that the Purchasing Division hold a
formal Request for Proposal (RFP)to purchase Community Automated License Plate Camera
Readers for the Police Department. The RFP was advertised in the Star Telegram on Wednesday's,
from April 22, 2020 through May 6, 2020. Dana Safety Supply, Flock Group Inc. d/b/a Flock Safety,
Quest Solutions, and Rekor Recognitions Systems, Inc., submitted responses. A team made up of
members from the Police Department and ITS sat on the evaluation committee and evaluated the
proposals based on the published criteria. Flock Safety scored the highest.
The cameras will be deployed in areas the Police Department determines will provide the biggest
impact. The cameras will be able to provide real time Texas Crime Information (TCIC) and National
Crime Information (NCIC) alerts, and customer defined hot list alerts. The cameras will be able to
capture the license plate and temporary license plates of vehicles traveling up to 60 mph. Additionally,
the cameras will have the capacity to capture vehicles with no attached license plates. Furthermore,
the cameras will be able to detect and record persons and bicycles.
In order to most efficiently use the available budget, the Police Department will initially purchase 48
cameras and 3 years of service for a total of$300,000.00. Annual subscription fees will be due again
in FY23. Additionally, the original year will contain $200,000.00 for the purchase of more cameras
before the first renewal period commences. There will be a one-time purchase cost for each camera
and an annual subscription fee thereafter. The total allocated amount will be $500,000.00 annually as
needed to purchase new cameras for additional areas of deployment. Purchases will be contingent
upon price increase approval by The Fort Worth Police Department at the time of contract renewal.
AGREEMENT TERMS: The agreement between Flock Safety will be for an initial one-year period,
followed by nine one-year renewal terms at the City's discretion.
M/WBE: A waiver of the goal for MBE/SBE subcontracting requirements was requested by the
Purchasing Division and approved by the M/WBE Office, in accordance with the BDE Ordinance,
because the purchase of goods or services is from sources where subcontracting or supplier
opportunities are negligible.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendation, funds are available
in the current capital and operating budgets, as previously appropriated, in the ITS Capital Fund within
project FY20:PD Community Automate LPR, General Capital Projects Fund within project NTA 19-
