IP Indemnification. Vendor agrees to indemnify, defend, settle, or pay, at its own cost
and expense, including the payment of attorney's fees, any claim or action against the
City for infringement of any patent, copyright, trade mark, service mark, trade secret, or
other intellectual property right arising from City's use of the Deliverable(s), or any part
thereof, in accordance with the Agreement, it being understood that the agreement to
indemnify, defend, settle or pay shall not apply if City modifies or misuses the
Deliverable(s). So long as Vendor bears the cost and expense of payment for claims or actions
against the City pursuant to this section, Vendor shall have the right to conduct the defense
of any such claim or action and all negotiations for its settlement or compromise and to settle
or compromise any such claim; however, City shall have the right to fully participate in any
and all such settlement, negotiations, or lawsuit as necessary to protect the City's interest,
and City agrees to cooperate with Vendor in doing so. In the event City, for whatever reason,
assumes the responsibility for payment of costs and expenses for any claim or action brought
against the City for infringement arising under the Agreement, the City shall have the sole
right to conduct the defense of any such claim or action and all negotiations for its settlement
or compromise and to settle or compromise any such claim; however, Vendor shall fully

Vendor timely written notice of any such claim or action, with copies of all papers City may
receive relating thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City's assumption of payment of
costs or expenses shall not eliminate Vendor's duty to indemnify the City under the
Agreement. If the Deliverable(s), or any part thereof, is held to infringe and the use thereof
is enjoined or restrained or, if as a result of a settlement or compromise, such use is
materially adversely restricted, Vendor shall, at its own expense and as City's sole remedy,
either: (a) procure for City the right to continue to use the Deliverable(s); or (b) modify the
Deliverable(s) to make them/it non -infringing, provided that such modification does not
materially adversely affect City's authorized use of the Deliverable(s); or (c) replace the
Deliverable(s) with equally suitable, compatible, and functionally equivalent non -infringing
Deliverable(s) at no additional charge to City; or (d) if none of the foregoing alternatives is
reasonably available to Vendor, terminate the Agreement, and refund all amounts paid to
Vendor by the City, subsequent to which termination City may seek any and all remedies
available to City under law. VENDOR'S OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER SHALL BE
SECURED BY THE REQUISITE INSURANCE COVERAGE REQUIRED BY CITY.

identifiable information ("Personal Data") by any unauthorized person or third party, or
becomes aware of any other security breach relating to Personal Data held or stored by
Vendor under the Agreement or in connection with the performance of any services
performed under the Agreement or any Statement(s) of Work ("Data Breach"), Vendor shall
immediately notify City in writing and shall fully cooperate with City at Vendor's expense
to prevent or stop such Data Breach. In the event of such Data Breach, Vendor shall fully
and immediately comply with applicable laws, and shall take the appropriate steps to remedy
such Data Breach. Vendor will defend, indemnify and hold City, its Affiliates, and their
respective officers, directors, employees and agents, harmless from and against any and all
claims, suits, causes of action, liability, loss, costs and damages, including reasonable
attorney fees, arising out of or relating to any third party claim arising from breach by
Vendor of its obligations contained in this Section, except to the extent resulting from the
acts or omissions of City. All Personal Data to which Vendor has access under the
Agreement, as between Vendor and City, will remain the property of City. City hereby
consents to the use, processing and/or disclosure of Personal Data only for the purposes
described herein and to the extent such use or processing is necessary for Vendor to carry
out its duties and responsibilities under the Agreement, any applicable Statement(s) of Work,
or as required by law. Vendor will not transfer Personal Data to third parties other than
through its underlying network provider to perform its obligations under the Agreement,
unless authorized in writing by City. Vendor's obligation to defend, hold harmless and
indemnify City shall remain in full effect if the Data Breach is the result of the actions of a
third party. All Personal Data delivered to Vendor shall be stored in the United States or

HEARING:
SUBJECT: (ALL) Authorize Execution of Cooperative Purchase Agreements with GTS Technology
Solutions, Inc. for Hardware, Software, Technology, and Maintenance for the FY24 PD
Citywide Camera Project (City Project No. 105516) For an Annual Amount Up
to $600,000.00 with Four One -Year Renewal Options for the Police Department Through

RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize execution of cooperative purchase agreements
with GTS Technology Solutions, Inc. for hardware, software, technology, and maintenance for the
FY24 PD Citywide Camera project (City Project No. 105516) for an annual amount up to
$600,000.00 with four (4) one-year renewal options for the Police Department through the Information
Technology Solutions Department.
A&_%11+*1Is] ►A
This Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to request authorization for execution of cooperative
purchase agreements with GTS Technology Solutions, Inc. (GTS) to purchase hardware, software,
technology, and maintenance in support of the FY24 PD Citywide Camera project (City Project No.
105516). The Fort Worth Police Department Electronic Surveillance Unit (ESU) builds 150 to 200
surveillance cameras per year to support the citywide camera project, other police projects and
support other department requests for cameras. All cameras feed into the Police Real Time Crime
Center (RTCC) to provide 24/7 monitoring of high crime areas. These cameras are vital in helping
reduce violent crime in these areas by providing critical information to detectives regarding suspects,
suspect vehicles, and other evidence in criminal offenses.
The Police Department purchases camera hardware, cellular modems, antennas, and other
components from GTS to build custom cameras to fit the exact needs for surveillance. There are
approximately 1,200 surveillance cameras currently deployed in the City. These cameras require
routine maintenance, updating, and replacement, most of which is available for purchase through
GTS.
In 2024, using mostly GTS parts, Police built cameras for the Environmental Services, Fire, Water,
Transportation Public Works - Stormwater, and Information Technology Solutions Departments and
two Neighborhood Improvement Projects (NIP). One new NIP is planned for 2025. Other departments
and NIPs provide separate funding when making a request for cameras to be built by Police. A funds
availability verification will be performed by the participating department prior to the request.
This M&C requests authorization to execute three cooperative agreements through The Interlocal
Purchasing System (TIPS) and Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR) with a shared
contract authority of $600,000.00. The cooperative agreements are as follows:

M&C Review
Page 2 of 3
DIR-CPO-4751 March 14, 2026
DIR-CPO-5097 November 21, 2027
COOPERATIVE PURCHASE: State law provides that a local government purchasing an item under a
cooperative purchase agreement satisfies State laws requiring that the local government seek
competitive bids for purchase of the item. Cooperative contracts have been competitively bid to
increase and simplify the purchasing power of local government entities across the State of Texas.
SUCCESSOR CONTRACTS: The City will initially use the TIPS and DIR contracts to make purchases
authorized by this M&C. In the event a TIPS or DIR cooperative contract is not renewed, staff would
cease purchasing at the end of the last purchase agreement coinciding with a valid cooperative
contract. If the City Council were to not appropriate funds for a future year, staff would stop making
purchases when the last appropriation expires, regardless of whether the then -current purchase
agreement has expired.
If the TIPS or DIR cooperative is extended, this M&C authorizes the City to purchase similar
equipment and services under the extended contract. In the event a TIPS or DIR cooperative
agreement is not extended, but TIPS or DIR executes new cooperative agreement(s) with
substantially similar terms, this M&C authorizes the City to purchase the equipment and services
under the new TIPS or DIR contract(s).
BUSINESS EQUITY: A goal is not assigned when purchasing from an approved purchasing
cooperative or public entity.
ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGE ORDER: An administrative change order or increase may be made by
the City Manager up to the amount allowed by relevant law and the Fort Worth City Code and does
not require specific City Council approval as long as sufficient funds have been appropriated.
AGREEMENT TERM: Upon City Council's approval and execution of the cooperative agreements, the
initial terms of the agreements will expire in accordance with the terms and conditions of TIPS or DIR
cooperative agreements or applicable successive cooperative agreements for the same products and
services.
RENEWAL OPTIONS: The agreements may be renewed in accordance with the underlying
cooperative agreements, at the City's option. 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 period.
Funding is available for the agreements in the FY24 PD Citywide Camera project within the CCPD
Capital Projects Fund in the amount of $343,084.57 and the remaining funding will be available upon
adoption of the FY26 Crime Control & Prevention District's Operating budget.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that funds are available in the current capital budget, as previously
appropriated, in the CCPD Capital Projects Fund for the FY24 PD Citywide Camera, and upon
adoption of the Fiscal Year 2026 Budget by the City Council funds will be available in the Fiscal Year
2026 Operating Budget, as appropriated, to support approval of the above recommendation and
execution of the agreements. Prior to an expenditure being incurred, the Information Technology
Solutions and the Police Departments have the responsibility to validate the availability of funds.
