PUBLIC WORKS 
 
 
TO:  C. Seth Sumner, City Manager 
FROM:  Kevin L. Helms, Project Manager 
Cc:  Ben Burchfield, Public Works Director 
DATE:  July 6, 2022 
SUBJECT: Public Works Security Items 
 
Summary 
Public Works, Purchasing, and Information Technology Departments met with the City’s contracted 
security services vendor to outline the items which would be needed once construction is complete.  This 
includes a combination of door card readers for access, gate card readers for access, and any other 
associated accessories needed to make these items functional.   The City’s contracted vendor is IEC out of 
Chattanooga.  This does not include the purchase and/or installation of security cameras as needed for 
the building. 
 
Process 
At some point in the past, the City went through a selection process to contract with a vendor to provide 
these services at all City facilities.  This vendor removed several pieces of hardware prior to the demolition 
of the Public Works Building so they co uld be reused in the new facility.  However, additional quantities 
of these items will be needed in the new facility.  Given that the City has already selected this vendor and 
they hold the license which allows for all of this technology to operate , it onl y makes sense that these 
services would be provided by this vendor.   
 
Action Item 
The department is requesting approval to purchase the items outlined in Quote IECQ5390 as obtained by 
the Purchasing Department  which is attached to this memo.  The total purchase price for the items , 
including installation is $16,244.57.
