Servers, Storage and Licensing
VectorUSA will provide ten (10) new Qognify Ocularis Enterprise camera licenses and SMA for the cameras added to the North Library. It is assumed the cameras will link back to the police department VMS system so they can have the view of the cameras. It is assumed the centralized storage will have room for the new cameras. The following shows the calculation for the retention needed for the new cameras:
If more storage is needed on the back end to accommodate these cameras, the adjustment to the project will be addressed via a written change order or through a separate proposal. VectorUSA will configure the camera views and the VMS software on the back end to set the required recording retention and settings for the library cameras.
The yearly Ocularis SMA license cost for the ten (10) cameras in this proposal is $304.30 (Pending price fluctuations year to year).
Switching

Power
It is assumed PoE power will be used to power the new cameras.
Connectivity
VectorUSA will provide and install new Category 6 plenum copper cable to connect to the new cameras. Cables will have a permanent link between the patch panel in the IT Closet and a surface mount box near the camera location.
Patch cords will be installed on each side with one connecting to the camera from the surface mount box and one connecting to the existing switch from the patch panel. 6 | P a g e

Workers’ Compensation insurance as required by the State of California.

24 Other Insurance Provisions
The general liability and automobile liability policies are to contain, or be endorsed to contain, the following provisions:
Additional Insured Endorsement:
General Liability: The City, its officers, elected and appointed officials, employees, and volunteers shall be covered as insureds with respect to liability arising out of work performed by or on behalf of the Contractor. General liability coverage can be provided in the form of an endorsement to the Contractor’s insurance, or as a separate owner’s policy.
Automobile Liability: The City, its officers, elected and appointed officials, employees, and volunteers shall be covered as insureds with respect to liability arising out of automobiles owned, leased, hired or borrowed by or on behalf of the Contractor.
For any claims related to this project, the Contractor’s insurance coverage shall be primary insurance as respects the City, its officers, elected and appointed officials, employees, and volunteers. Any insurance or self-insurance maintained by the City, its officers, officials, employees, or volunteers shall be excess of the Contractor’s insurance and shall not contribute with it.
Each insurance policy required by this clause shall be endorsed to state that coverage shall not be canceled by either party, except after thirty (30) days prior written notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, has been given to the City.
Each insurance policy shall be endorsed to state that the inclusion of more than one insured shall not operate to impair the rights of one insured against another insured, and the coverages afforded shall apply as though separate policies had been issued to each insured.
Each insurance policy shall be in effect prior to awarding the contract and each insurance policy or a successor policy shall be in effect for the duration of the project.
The maintenance of proper insurance coverage is a material element of the contract and failure to maintain or renew coverage or to provide evidence of renewal may be treated by the City as a material breach of contract on the Contractor’s part.

Insurance shall be placed with insurers with a current A.M. Best’s rating of no less than A:VII and which are authorized to transact insurance business in the State of California by the Department of Insurance.
25 Verification of Coverage
Contractor shall furnish the City with original certificates and amendatory endorsements effecting coverage required by this clause. The endorsements should be on the City authorized forms provided with the contract specifications.

All certificates and endorsements shall be received and approved by the City before the contract is awarded. The City reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, including endorsements effecting the coverage required by these specifications at any time.
Subcontractors
Contractor shall include all subcontractors as insured under its policies or shall furnish separate certificates and endorsements for each subcontractor. All coverages for subcontractors shall be subject to all of the requirements stated herein.
