BACKGROUND
Background
Law Enforcement is requesting a sole source exception to purchase an interface from Norment Security Group, 621 Poole Drive, Garner, NC 27529 to communicate with the new Jail Management and Jail Video Visitation Systems. Norment Security Group is currently utilized by the Law Enforcement department to control the existing security management and video visitation systems, and would develop an interface that will not only control the video portion of visitations, but allow visitors to independently schedule appointments for visitations.
The total cost of the interface is $28,771 and Law Enforcement requests this amount appropriated from the Unauthorized Substance Fund for purchase of the interface. The balance of the Unauthorized Substance Fund is currently $211,000.
