CCTV NVR Replacement (Upgrade)

The City of Lake Forest, California is requesting quotations for CCTV Network Video Recorder infrastructure replacement and upgrades across five municipal facilities, with proposals due November 6, 2026 at 5:00 p.m., and a question deadline of October 26, 2026.

The scope encompasses full hardware replacement at City Hall Civic Center (2 units), Skate Park, Heroes Park, and El Toro Park; a RAM upgrade to 64GB ECC RDIMM memory for the existing Dell PowerEdge R7460XS at Sports Park; and migration of approximately 125 camera feeds from Milestone XProtect 2019 R1 to the latest enterprise release using City-procured licensing. All new equipment must be enterprise-grade hardware with no refurbished units permitted. Vendors must conduct mandatory pre-deployment site assessments, provide hardware and operating system recommendations for City approval, maintain static IP assignments to prevent camera-side reconfiguration, configure Network Attached Storage for two-year data retention, and perform comprehensive testing and sign-off verification of all camera feeds, motion detection rules, and client connectivity prior to project completion. The City prefers Intel processors supporting Intel Quick Sync Video for hardware-accelerated motion detection. Operating systems must transition from Windows 10 Pro to vendor-recommended and City-approved enterprise editions.

Pricing submissions must include separate line-item costs for hardware at each of the five locations, labor for the complete project, and software costs for the Milestone platform upgrade, all submitted on a not-to-exceed basis. Deliverables include final as-built documentation, warranty coverage, and ongoing technical support. Anticipated contractor selection is November 30, 2026. Contact for inquiries is Amir Moussavinejad, Information Technology Analyst, at amoussavinejad@lakeforestca.gov or (949) 461-3440. Submissions are electronic through OpenGov Procurement.
