Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order and enter into an agreement with Johnson Controls, Inc., for the purchase and installation of closed circuit television systems at the Egan and Kirie Water Reclamation Plants which are compatible with the District’s existing P2000 Security Management System. This purchase order will expire on December 31, 2009.
Johnson Controls, Inc., the sole service provider of certified technicians to install and service the P2000 Security Management System, and has submitted prices for the parts and services required.

In view of the foregoing, it is recommended that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to issue a purchase order and enter into an agreement with Johnson Controls, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $34,711.00.
Requested, Edmund J. Cook, Deputy Director of M&O, EJC:KCH:WGH:lt
