The current system does not provide full video surveillance of the police department, city hall, train station and Levee 50, according to Police Chief Bill Kushner and Director of Information Technology Romeo Sora.
According to the report, the city turned down the lowest of the six bids it received because it did not meet certain requirements. Kushner and Sora recommended awarding the contract to Precision Control Systems of Chicago Inc. The digital system will feature 76 new security cameras that use IP-based technology.
