Approve Quote for East Water Treatment Plant Security System
Project No. 04-08-5

REQUESTED ACTION
Approve quote for East Water Treatment Plant Security System with ADT Security Systems,
Inc.
BACKGROUND
Staff solicited quotes for the future security system at the East Water Treatment Plant. The
security system will include external and interior cameras, motion detectors, door and
window alarms and door entry security swipe card readers. Any alarms that are triggered will
be sent to the Carver County dispatch center and through the SCADA system to the on-call
utility personnel. The work was separated from the main contract so the City would have
more control over the security contract.
The City received three quotes as follows:
Siemens Building Technologies, Inc.
ADT Security Systems, Inc.
SecureTech, Inc.
$38,250.00
$32,309.00
$29,758.00
Staff is requesting Council accept the quote with ADT Security Systems, Inc. based on their
proposal and availability to complete the work as required by the prime contractor.
SecureTech, Inc. is a small upstart company whose office is located in Chaska, Minnesota.
The substantial completion of the treatment plant prime contract is the end of December. The
SecureTech, Inc. proposal indicated their construction start would not occur until November,
due to current work load. This schedule is very tight and may interfere or delay the prime
contractor from finishing his work on time. ADT Security System, Inc. is available to start
the project sooner which is more in line with what the prime contractor wants for the security
installation work. The cost difference between ADT and Secure Tech, Inc. is $2,551.00.
ADT is an internationally recognized security company. They are experienced with security
systems on water treatment plants and municipal facilities including several metro facilities.
Their system is also very conducive to integrating other City facilities into the network and
call out monitoring.
The City attorney has been counseled on this item.
Funding for this security system will be 100% funded from the Water Utility Fund. The
budgeted amount for this item was $50,000 which makes this item $20,242 under budget.
