This purchase and vendor will allow us to consolidate hardware components in all three theaters resulting in easier and more cost-effective maintenance and service. This product has also been vetted and approved by the Mesa Arts Center's architect and will continue to showcase the theaters according to the original architect design. The Arts and Culture Department and Purchasing recommend authorizing the purchase using the Omnia cooperative contract with Irwin Seating Company at $1,275,000, based on project requirements. This purchase is funded by the Mesa Arts Center Restoration Fund. |

Temporary cooling was needed so PRCF procured a chiller rental until new chillers are installed. City of Mesa rents space to AZ Labs and cooling is essential to their business. The chiller also services areas at ASU and Phoenix Mesa Gateway airport. The Parks, Recreation and Community Facilities Department and Purchasing recommend ratifying the purchase with Aggreko, at $26,034.60. |

Item *4-l
File #21-0342
Two-Year Term Contract with a One Year Renewal Option for Four Overt Pole Camera Video Surveillance Trailers (Additions) for the Mesa Police Department (Citywide)
This contract will provide overt pole cameras that are entirely solar and can be positioned in any part of the City with short notice. They provide the ability for one officer to have a visual on many areas at one time. This equipment will be used to increase police presence in multiple places, monitor high crime areas, and help identify a significant event versus an innocuous gathering. The recorded video will assist in researching crimes and providing evidentiary information. The Special Projects and Research Team of the Mesa Police Department has requested the initial purchase for four, overt pole cameras. The Department has requested the annual contract amount for additional poles should additional funding be identified. An evaluation committee recommends awarding the highest scored proposal response from Air Comm Corporation, dba Air Comm, at $300,000 annually, with an annual increase allowance of up to 5%, or the adjusted Producer Price Index.
