Attached is a BG1 form and quotes for security cameras at FCHS and CAT 6 wiring for the new Central Office.  The total for both projects is $122,083.

As of now, FCHS does not have any fully functional security cameras and this creates a safety/security concern.  The attached quote will provide 72 cameras that will cover all entry ways, corridors and stairwells.  This will provide adequate coverage until we can reassess any areas that may require additional coverage.

The new Central Office buildings do not have up to date wiring to meet our technology needs.  The attached quote will provide CAT 6 wiring throughout each of the three buildings.
