SUBJECT
(ALL) Authorize the Rejection of All Responses to Bid No. 20-0159 for a Closed Circuit Television Van for the Water Department through the

RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the rejection of all responses to Bid No. 20-0159 for a closed circuit television van for the Water
Deparment through the Property Management Department.
DISCUSSION:
The Property Management Department (PMD) approached the Purchasing Division for assistance with buying a closed circuit television
(CCTV) van for the Water Department. The sole response received included glass windows in the rear doors of the CCTV van. Staff concluded
that the glass windows in the rear doors allows visibility of computer/video equipment inside the vehicle and presents a potential risk of theft. Upon
Council rejecting the sole bid, the Purchasing staff will restart the bidding process. The new bid will include specification that assure the security of
the unit and its contents.
A Form 1295 is not required because: This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that approval of this recommendation will have no material effect on City funds.
