While completing a full inventory of cameras and equipment needed for the Arcadia Police Department, the Public Works Services Department (“PWSD”) identified that additional cameras are needed in the jail within the Police Department. It was also discovered that the Police Station’s security monitoring station must be upgraded as well. As a result of these findings, an amendment to the PSA, including a Change Order to the Purchase Order with American Business Machines, is necessary to upgrade the monitoring station and add 29 new cameras to the Arcadia Police Department Jail. It is recommended that the City Council approve, authorize, and direct the City Manager to execute an amendment to the PSA with American Business Machines to include the Arcadia Police Department jail camera system and upgraded monitoring station, in the amount of $101,276.29. Amendment to the Security System PSA January 20, 2026 Page 2 of 4 BACKGROUND Over the past few years, many City facilities have experienced persistent challenges with their security and access control systems. These challenges included inconsistent performance, outdated technology, and difficulty maintaining legacy systems that are no longer supported or efficient. As the reliability of these critical systems continued to decline, it became apparent that a Citywide upgrade to the security and fire alarm system was necessary. On July 15, 2025, the City Council approved a PSA with American Business Machines (“ABM”) in the amount of $883,916.77 with a 10% contingency, for security alarm and fire suppression system installation, monitoring, and repair services, and security camera and access control upgrade and installation. As part of this PSA, a new system that includes advanced access control solutions, upgraded fire protection systems, and state-of-the-art security monitoring tools, will be installed throughout City facilities. Notable features of the new security system include cloud-based management software, mobile app integration, and high-resolution 4K security cameras. The PWSD has been working with ABM to complete fire suppression testing, with the next phase of the project consisting of ordering the cameras and equipment that will be installed throughout all City facilities. During an in-depth review of the Arcadia Police Department’s equipment, staff discovered that the current Police Department security monitoring station must be upgraded and an additional 29 cameras for the jail are needed. DISCUSSION An inventory of cameras and security systems needed for each facility was included in the request for proposals for this project. Originally, staff believed that the current cameras and monitoring station in the Police Department Jail would not need to be updated; however, the current cameras have been experiencing issues. The images from the current cameras are not clear, the recordings do not capture sounds appropriately, the software is not user-friendly, the camera wiring is antiquated, and additional cameras are needed to capture the entire space. Additionally, the monitoring station for these cameras also requires an upgrade. Amendment to the Security System PSA January 20, 2026 Page 3 of 4 As part of this contract amendment, 29 cameras will be installed at the Police Department and the security monitoring station will be upgraded. The cameras that will be installed provide longer storage capabilities and optimum sound and visual recording. In addition to the upgrade, the cameras will utilize a new user-friendly software that will make it easier for police personnel to quickly locate and extract footage of any events or incidents. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS The proposed action does not constitute a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), as it can be seen with certainty that it will have no impact on the environment. FISCAL IMPACT Funds in the amount of $3.0 million were budgeted in the Fiscal Year 2024-25 Capital Improvement Program for the security alarm and fire suppression system installation, monitoring, and repair services and security camera and access control upgrade and installation. On July 15, 2025, the City Council approved a PSA with American Business Machines in the amount of $883,916.77 with a 10% contingency, for the security alarm and fire suppression system installation, monitoring, and repair services and security camera and access control upgrade and installation. The total cost to add 29 cameras for the Police Department and upgrade the monitoring station is $101,276.29. Sufficient funds are available in the Fiscal Year 2024-25 Capital Improvement Program for the amendment to the PSA and the Change Order to the Purchase Order for the security alarm and fire suppression system installation, monitoring, repair services, and security camera and access control upgrade and installation project. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council determine that this action does not constitute a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”); and approve, authorize, and direct the City Manager to execute an amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with American Business Machines to include the Arcadia Police Department jail camera system and upgraded monitoring station, in the amount of $101,276.29.
