Title
Dollar Limit Increase to Use of the Cooperative Term Contract for Route Planning and Management Solutions as Requested by the Solid Waste Department and Department of Innovation and Technology (Citywide)
A dollar limit increase is needed to implement an AI-enabled camera system. Solid Waste currently utilizes external, legacy vehicle camera systems to support safe fleet operations; however, the existing system no longer meets operational needs. The Samsara system provides improved image quality, real-time AI alerts to the Solid Waste driver for pedestrians and hazards, and cloud-based video storage and access, which eliminates the need to physically retrieve and reinstall hard drives from vehicles to view video, which is currently required with the existing, labor-intensive system.
The Solid Waste Department, Department of Innovation and Technology, and Procurement Services recommend increasing the original dollar limit with Wastech Corp./Routeware, Inc. by an additional amount of $480,320, which includes $138,375 for installation services and $341,945 for two and half years of annual subscription fees for a revised total contract amount not to exceed $807,820.
