II.<br />
SUMMARY OF ISSUES<br />
• Santa Cruz METRO has a need to extend the term of the current contract and add<br />
additional funds.<br />
• Santa Cruz METRO has a contract with Ojo Technology, Inc. for installation of<br />
security systems at several sites.<br />
• This contract was established on January 7, 2011 and will expire on January 6, 2013.<br />
• Due to unforeseen delays and construction of the Judy K. Souza Operations Facility,<br />
staff is requesting that the contract term be extended through January 6, 2016.<br />
• Necessary changes regarding conduit for the cable feed and video storage capacity<br />
required both additional time and increased costs, therefore, a contract amendment<br />
extending the term of the contract and adding additional funding is recommended.<br />
III.<br />
DISCUSSION<br />
Santa Cruz METRO has a contract with Ojo Technology, Inc. for installation of security systems<br />
at several sites. During the course of the project, it was determined that the existing conduit at<br />
Pacific Station would not be able to contain the new cable feed as anticipated. Therefore, new<br />
conduit will need to be laid. This conduit can either be laid by opening up a trench in the<br />
concrete through the bus lanes, or use equipment to bore through the concrete. Boring through<br />
the concrete is the more expensive option, however, was chosen as it minimized the disruption of<br />
service, reduced accessibility issues, and increased safety of the public areas. This type of<br />
installation will also take more time and planning than the original installation type would have<br />
taken.<br />
