☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Sheriff-Coroner, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Flock Group Inc., on behalf of the Office of the Sheriff, to extend the termination date from September 30, 2024 to December 31, 2026, and to increase the payment limit by $15,300 to a new payment limit of $50,400, for the provision of a hosted software system for automatic license plate reader cameras in County Service Area P-5.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of this request will result in no county impact. This contract will be 100% funded by County Service Area P-5 Round Hill.
BACKGROUND:
Flock Group Inc. provides license plate reading cameras with 24/7 monitoring for homes, businesses, and neighborhoods to protect against property crime, violent crime, stolen vehicles, and more.
At the August 10, 2022, meeting of the Citizen’s Police Advisory Committee (P-5), a motion was made and passed unanimously to fund Flock Safety automatic license plate reader (ALPR) cameras in the district neighborhoods to significantly help prevent and solve crime. The cameras are the same type utilized in the neighboring communities of Alamo and Danville and would provide continuing coverage of the area to prevent and investigate crimes within the communities. The proposed contract obligates the County to indemnify Flock for any third-party claims arising out of a breach of County’s obligations under the agreement, and from the County’s use of the services. Additionally, Flock’s liability under the agreement is limited to the amounts paid by the County in the 12 months preceding any claim.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
ALPR cameras can no longer be used and there will be no additional measures in place to deter and solve crime.
