A vendor proposal from Motorola Solutions to upgrade the Dallas County Sheriff Office’s video management system was included in the Sept. 29, 2026 board packet. The written proposal covers replacement of the Milestone VMS at the Law Enforcement Center/Jail with Avigilon Unity and replacement of remaining county site VMS with Avigilon Alta, and includes detailed equipment lists and a Statement of Work.
The proposal’s bill of materials and pricing table list Equipment at $806,656.48 and Installation & Standard Support at $77,449.12 for a grand total of $884,105.60, excluding tax. Payment milestones in the packet call for 50% of the contract price due upon contract execution and the remaining 50% due after July 1, 2027.
The SOW describes two Avigilon AINVR servers for the jail head end, one Avigilon Alta cloud connector for consolidated county sites, and a mix of Avigilon Alta and Unity cameras for individual facilities. The document lists specific camera models and counts, notes estimated video‑retention targets (30 days for most cameras; select jail cameras modeled at 365 days), and states Motorola/Baker Group will coordinate with local systems integrators for jail control‑room call‑up functionality.
The proposal is presented as a formal vendor submission and signed business correspondence. As the cover letter puts it, “Motorola Solutions, Inc. (“Motorola”) is pleased to have the opportunity to provide the Dallas County Sheriff Office, ID with our Avigilon Unity and Avigilon Alta products.” This language appears in the vendor’s proposal packet and identifies Motorola’s intended scope and products.
Next steps listed in the meeting packet included placing the proposal on the public hearing agenda; the packet shows a public‑hearing time on the board calendar for the Motorola Avigilon hardware and software contract. The county’s packet also contains a county amendment to the MCA and Proposal that narrows some vendor pricing‑adjustment language and documents tax‑exempt handling.
Procedural note: the board packet contains the vendor proposal and a recommended contract pathway (Sourcewell Master Agreement #020625‑MOT), but the packet does not record a final board vote on the contract. Any contract authorization shown would be recorded in subsequent minutes or in a separate signed contract document.
