The system shall be installed in a phased manner to facilitate integration and testing in a progressive manner. The projected goals are shown in weeks after the receipt of the purchase order by e-Watch (ARO) or January 1, 2014, which ever comes later. If installation goes smoothly and if personnel are available, the. schedule may be accelerated by agreement of the City and e-Watch. If information is not available on a timely basis or if City personnel are not available as needed, it is understood that the schedule may be adversely impacted. Consolidated Video Security System (CVSS) Page 1 CFW / e-Watch Corporation Amendment No. 1 to CSC No. 45257 Page 3of14 Optional modules are available for the MetroWatch system for installation at a future date, if so desired and purchased by the City. They appear on Exhibit B. Purchase, installation and integration of options are not projected in this SOW. A high-level Technical Overview of the primary system modules and installation follows• The CVSS requires movement of video and data from the outside of the city firewall to the inside, and from the inside to the outside. For example, cell phones and VMSs outside the firewall are required to stream video to workstations inside the firewall. Conversely, VMSs inside the firewall must be able to send video to cell phones outside the firewall For security purposes, two MetroWatch'" servers shall be implemented, one on the inside and one on the outside. Thesc servers may physically be in the same rack. The two servers, inside and outside, shall be bound togethct to operate seamlessly, as if it were one server and one system using the MutiWatch1" software module. GateWatch'"-VMS for Milestone is an Interface module that shall he used to connect the Milestone VMS to MetroWatch and allows the Milestone to be operated seamlessly thorough the MetroWatch GUI. All commands, such as camera controls, snapshot and video playback, are made available thought the GUI. GateWatch'"-WEB is an interface module that connects third -party wehcams and VMS systems with generic video interfaces to MetroWatch and allows video to be viewed via the MetroWatch GUI. Camera controls video playback and snapshot are NOT available with this interface, It, however, is a cost effective way to integrate non city VMS and web cams to MetroWatch. • MobileVVatch"'-Gateway is an interface module that connects MetroWatch to smart phones to allow streaming of video, photos and location data to be sent fi orn the phone to MetroWatch, or video from MetroWatch to the phone, • Mobilewatch" -Android is an Android smart phone app that streams video and location data and sends snapshots from the phone to MetroWatch, or receives video from MetroWatch and displays on the phone. • MobileWatchm-iOS is a mobile browser -based function, compatible with selected Apple iPhone and iPad devices, that receives video from MetroWatch and displays on the device. GateWatch "-CAD for TriTech is an interface module that bridges the TriTech system to the MetroWatch system for the purposes of passing events, including time and location, from the CAD system to MetroWatch for display of event location on a map and for selection of nearby cameras. The MetroWatch system shall operated with LDAP over SSL (LDAP-S) A description of each CVSS installation milestones follows; Consolidated Video Security System (CVSS) Page 2 CFW / e-Watch Corporation Amendment No. 1 to CSC No. 45257 Page 4ofl4 Milestone 1 A - Site Survey Number 1 The goal of the site survey shall be to collect all City information required for e-Watch to pre -configure, install and integrate the CVSS system through Milestone 3.

DISCUSSION. Staff was tasked with finding a possible solution to provide interoperability among disparate Video Management Systems (VMS), that would provide City departments a standardized and secure Internet Protocol (IP) enterprise VMS infrastructure. This permission based solution will have the capability to share video between departments as well as between City and non -City agencies, and help public safety and emergency management personnel monitor emergency scenes, special events and agency specific venues. In January, 2012, Staff issued the first Request for Proposals (RFP). Nine responses were received and evaluated but all were rejected (M&C P-11429, approved on September 25, 2012) because they did not adequately address the requirements and base costs exceeded the planned budget between 90 percent and 200 percent. Staff refined the specifications and a new RFP was issued in September 2013. On October 17, 2013, six responses were received. The responding firms were: AVIRO RMS Group Confluence Security Convergint Technologies Edge 360 e-Watch Corporation Schneider Electric An evaluation committee comprised of employees from the Office of Emergency Management, IT Solutions City Marshal's Office and Police Department evaluated each responder's proposal on a predetermined matrix combination of qualitative and quantitative measures The evaluation criteria were technical and functional requirements, optional and non technical requirements, warranty and maintenance, system design, cost, and qualifications. The three highest ranked firms were invited to give presentations and participate in the interview process, after which an additional evaluation was performed. Based on points received, e-Watch Corporation was ranked the highest. Staff agrees its solution meets the City's needs and the price is fair and reasonable. http://apps.cfwnet.org/council_packet/mc review.asp?ID=19275&councildate=12/17/2013[3/7/2014 12:15:57 PM] M&C Review The initial project includes consolidation of four separate video systems belonging to the Water Department, Emergency Management, Transportation and Public Works and the City Marshal's Office. The price for the initial project is set not to exceed $283 965.00, and will be funded by the Homeland Security Grant Funds. The remaining $116,035.00 will be used for additional consolidation efforts of other City -owned video systems on an as -needed basis. Staff anticipates the project will begin immediately upon approval by City Council. Contractor payments are based on milestone completion and acceptance by the City. RFP ADVERTISEMENT - This Request for Proposals was advertised in the Fort Worth Star- Telearam every Wednesday from September 18, 2013 through October 16, 2013. Twelve vendors from the purchasing vendor database were invited to submit proposals. PRICING ANALYSIS - There is no expense history for this type of consolidation project. M/WBE OFFICE - A waiver of the goal for MBE/SBE subcontracting requirements was requested by the Purchasing Department 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 is negligible. ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGE ORDER - An administrative change order or increase may be made by the City Manager in the amount up to $50 000.00 and does not require specific City Council approval as long as sufficient funds have been appropriated. AGREEMENT TERM - Upon City Council's approval the Contract will be effective upon execution for a term of one year. RENEWAL OPTIONS - The Contract may be renewed annually for up to four one-year terms, and funds will be used on an as needed basis. This action does not require specific City Council approval provided that the City Council has appropriated sufficient funds to satisfy the City's obligations during the renewal term. FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION: The Financial Management Services Director certifies that funds are available in the current operating budget, as appropriated, of the Grants Fund.
