Atlanta eyes water-system funds for nearly $884,000 in security and surveillance

Atlanta’s proposed $883,494.50 addition for Watershed security and video-surveillance services would draw on the city’s Water & Wastewater Renewal & Extension Fund, under a project labeled “17-CCTV Upgrade.”⁠[1][2]

The Finance/Executive Committee is scheduled to consider resolution 26-R-4192 on Oct. 14 at 1:30 p.m. The packet lists consideration as pending—not an approved purchase or an executed amendment.⁠[1][2]

The proposal follows a smaller Watershed funding addition under the same agreements. The supporting resolution says Council authorized up to $77,138.29 in July through the fourth amendment; the new request would be the fifth.⁠[2]

The fifth amendment would add funding through citywide integrated security and video-surveillance agreements with Convergint Technologies, GC&E Systems Group and NetPlanner Systems, administered through the Department of Enterprise Asset Management.⁠[2]

The fuller resolution identifies where the money would come from, but not an installation plan: it does not specify the facilities, equipment quantities, technical capabilities or allocation among the three vendors. The CCTV project label alone does not establish those details or a work schedule.⁠[2]

Even authorization would not finish the transaction. The draft requires legal approval, mayoral execution, clerk attestation and delivery to the contractors before the amendment becomes binding on Atlanta.⁠[2]
