Pam Jones, 245-2652
Sheriff Lindy Pendergrass, 245-2900
PURPOSE: To consider awarding a bid to COBAN Technologies, Inc. of Stafford, Texas for
the purchase of fifty (50) In-Car Video Camera Systems and Accessories for the Sheriffs
Department.
BACKGROUND: Currently the Sheriff's Department has an In-Car Video System in only one
patrol vehicle. In-Car Video Cameras are used to document the actions of deputies and the
public during various types of interactions, traffic stops, vehicle crashes, and emergency vehicle
operations.
The Board will recall that NC G.S. 143-129 allows local governments to use the "piggy-back"
acquisition method to obtain items without a separate bid procedure. If a contractor is willing to
extend the same or more favorable price and other .terms to the local government, the law
allows that the acquisition may be made from a contractor that has, within the past 12 months,
contracted to furnish the item to: (1) the federal government or any federal agency; (2) the State
of North Carolina or any agency or political subdivision of the state; or (3) any other state or
agency or political subdivision of that state. The recommended acquisition would be "piggy-
backed" on a bid awarded by the Houston Galveston Area Council (H-GAC) contract to COBAN
Technologies, Inc. of Stafford, Texas for COBAN SYSG2-SCSM TopCam Gen 2 -Systems.
The total cost for the fifty (50) In-Car Video Camera Systems would be $295,700. The system
also includes a server for reproduction of video and archival storage.
The Sheriffs Department and staff have done extensive research and feel the Coban unit best
meets the County's need for this important life safety equipment. Among many other law
enforcement departments, Coban systems are being utilized in:
-Forsyth County, North Carolina
-Martinsville, Virginia
-Los Angeles, California
-Chicago, Illinois
-Birmingham, Alabama
The Orange County Sheriff's Department has received funding from four different grants to
purchase equipment such as this.
2008 COPS Tech (SPEX) - BOCC approved February 3, 2009
2009 COPS Tech - BOCC approved October 20, 2009
2009 JAG #1 - BOCC approved August 18, 2009
2009 JAG #2 - BOCC approved October 20, 2009
Note: COPS stands for "Community Oriented Policing Services" and JAG stands for "Justice Assistance Grant".
Letters confirming award of the grant funding is attached.
The statute that authorizes "piggy-back" bids requires that the entity advertise its intentions ten
(10) days prior to a meeting in which the matter is to be considered. Orange County has
fulfilled that requirement.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Total purchase price, if approved by the Board, would be $295,700. As
noted above, the entire purchase is funded with grants. There is no requirement for matching
funds; therefore no County funds will be needed for the purchase. No additional Board action
regarding the grant project ordinance for this project is necessary at this time as the Board
previously approved the ordinances in conjunction with acceptance of these grants.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board:
1) Award a bid for fifty (50) In-Car Video Camera Systems and Accessories for the
Sheriff's Department at a total cost of $295,700 to COBAN Technologies, Inc. of
Stafford, Texas;
2) Authorize the Manager to sign the Interlocal Contract for Cooperative Purchasing;
and
3) Authorize the AMPS Director to effect the purchase.
