SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Flock Safety's (Flock) Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) camera capabilities have provided the San Leandro Police Department with video evidence to solve crimes. Flock has installed 41 ALPR cameras where crime has historically been concentrated. Staff recommends the City Council authorize a sole source purchase under Cal. Public Contract Code section 3400(c) (1) and San Leandro Municipal Code Section 1-6-315 in order to purchase an additional 41 ALPR Cameras from Flock. Additionally, Staff recommends extending the original agreement with Flock for an additional five years from the date of amendment execution.
