Council will be discussing the fact that “preliminary solutions and costs have been assessed” for Park and City asset security [see page 122]
Estimates are in the $80k to $100k range. I will go out on a huge limb here and say that with Ryan Ward and Finley in charge, the final cost will easily exceed $150,000 – at which point you have to ask: is it cheaper to just repair the vandalism every now and then?
One thing is for sure, they better sure as hell put it out for bid and if Azbell Electronics is involved again, you can be sure some serious fuckery is afoot.
Azbell, as you recall, are the scumbags who got a no-bid contract for the City council chambers A/V system and cost the City TRIPLE what the original open-bid contract from Broadcast Works amounted to.
