A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD
AUTHORIZING THE RELEASE OF A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
FOR A NEW SURVEILLANCE CAMERA SYSTEM COVERING MAJOR
STREET INTERSECTIONS THAT FEEDS TO CENTURY STATION AND
CITY HALL
WHEREAS, the City owns a camera system that feeds wirelessly to Century
station that was implemented 13 years ago and the most recent contract to maintain the
system expired in 2018; and
WHEREAS, the City worked collaboratively with the Lynwood Unified School
District (LUSD) and the Sheriff's department on the wireless radio network infrastructure
for about 30 cameras in the City; and
WHEREAS, according to Lieutenant Gomez, the camera system was a useful
tool to monitor activity in the City but is now mostly non-operational; and
WHEREAS, on Tuesday, March 29, 2022, staff collaborated with the LUSD and
the Sheriff's Department to discuss options to upgrade the aging camera system and
bring it back to an operational state; and
WHEREAS, the LUSD discussed looking at a new camera system and may
possibly abandon the old camera system but would welcome the City to work on any
wireless equipment on their property with an agreed upon memorandum of -
understanding, but if they do abandon their network, the City's wireless connections will
be negatively affected; and
WHEREAS, the purpose of this item is to release an RFP for a brand new
surveillance camera system and upon completion select the most qualified vendor that
will be presented to Council for approval; and
WHEREAS, staff will consider the best approach to repair and upgrade the
camera system in conjunction with professionals in the industry and in light of the recent
. meetings with representatives from LUSD and Century Station, staff will focus on
minimizing complications of a shared network and work independently or with Century
Station only.
