IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The City of Pasco (City) uses multiple door access control and video security
systems at various City facilities. Many of the systems were installed prior to the
City's enterprise technology network and did not have the capability to be inter-
connected or managed by an enterprise system. As a result, staff now manage
multiple systems, which requires adding and removing users to each system as
needed for staff access, supporting multiple types of equipment, and using
different vendors for installation or issue resolution.
V. DISCUSSION:
In 2022, based on Information Technology staff research on Enterprise Access
Control and Security Systems, the City's current access control and video security
systems, input from City staff, and other local agency selected systems, staff
selected Genetec Inc. to be the City's enterprise unified access control and video
security system.
Genetec's Unified Security System offers many benefits, including managing both
access control and video security in a single system, integration with City computer
Page 3 of 11
user accounts to reduce duplication of management, mobile device application to
allow offsite door access control or video review, the ability to add adv anced
features, like auto license plate readers to improve security monitoring at our
critical water and wastewater plants, or integration with other local agencies using
Genetec systems.
Genetec is currently installed and supported at City facilities by Interwest
Technology Systems Inc., the only local authorized vendor in the Tri -Cities area.
The access control portion system is in use at Fire Station 84, Road 68 Shop,
remodeled Human Resources Office within City Hall, Pasco Police Basic Law
Enforcement Academy, and planned for installation at Fire Station 85 and the Tri-
Cities Animal Shelter. The video portion of the system is used at 17 City sites and
several traffic intersections with currently 130 cameras.
During the preparation of 2023-2024 budget and continuing into 2023, staff
identified several City facilities that would benefit from the conversion or addition
of Genetec. These sites include the remainder of City hall, main Police Station,
Police Downtown Mini-Station, Administrative & Community Services Facilities
Shop, cemetery Office, Multimodal Station, First Avenue Center, Parks
Maintenance Shop, Butterfield Water Treatment Plant, Wastewater Treatment
Plant, West Pasco Water Treatment Plant, Water Tower, Fire Station 81, Fire
Station 82, Fire Station 83, and Fire Training Garage.

The 2023 project funds include $355,000 combined in Information Technology
and Public Works budgets. Due to increased costs, inclusion of sales tax, and
the additional identified facilities since budget process, the total cost to install all
listed sites is $460,285.95, exceeding planned project budget by ~$105,000.00.
Staff is requesting approval to proceed with the purchase of the Genetec Unified
Security System at listed facilities by Sole Source to contract with Interwest
Technology Systems Inc. During our mid-biennium review process, it may be
deemed necessary to increase the General Fund budget to accommodate this
purchase. At this time, however, staff recommends abstention from budget
amendment until budgetary need in the General Fund is known. Budgetary
savings in other expense categories may provide adequate cushion to forego an
amendment depending upon actual activity.

SOLE SOURCE WORKSHEET
Requisition Item: Genetec Access Control System Requisition No. N\A__
Prior Purchase Order Number (if item had been approved previously): N\A_____
1. Please describe the items and its function:
The City of Pasco (City) needs to standardize on a single Enterprise Access Control and Video
Security System. Our most current system, Genetec Access Control and Video System Platform
installed and serviced by Interwest Technology Systems Inc, (Interwest) best meets the city’s
current needs by adhering to best practices for cyber security standards, guaranteed native
compatibility across City sites, alignment with our established construction standards for new City
facilities, and Interwest’s familiarity with our Access Control environment and programming
needs. Genetec has been implemented by our neighboring cities and can be used to federate access
control permissions between our municipal and public safety agencies when the need for mutual
aid arises.
2. This is a sole source because:
☒ sole provider of a licensed or patented good or service
☒ sole provider of items that are compatible with existing equipment, inventory, systems,
programs or services
☒ sole provider of goods and services for which the City has established a standard
☒ sole provider of goods or services that will meet the specialized needs of the City or
perform the intended function (please detail below or in an attachment)
3. What necessary features does this vendor provide which are not available from other vendors?
Please be specific
Interwest is the only authorized Genetec dealer in the Tri-Cities area, the next closest is in Walla
Walla. In the event of an after-hours or emergent issue, Interwest has staff that can be on-site the
same day, usually within an hour of placing a service call. Interwest has also routinely been the
winning bidder of City construction projects as it pertains to data and telephone wiring, security
and surveillance, and access control systems due to their high level of service and bidder
qualifications as a Genetec dealer as specified in our construction standards. Genetec is a feature-
rich platform that incorporates surveillance, access control, intercom systems, and ALPR into a
single pane of glass for ease-of-use by staff who are tasked with the upkeep and regular use of the
system. Genetec synchronizes to our centralized IT computer directory (Active Directory) for the
automated management of users and groups that are given access control credentials or permission
to view surveillance cameras. When a user leaves the City and their account is disabled, their
access control credentials are automatically pruned from the system to ensure no unauthorized
access to City sites is maintained. Genetec can also be federated across multiple systems. For
instance, both the City of Richland and the City of Kennewick are already utilizing Genetec which
would make synchronization of users (public safety or otherwise) with our neighboring cities a
simple and secure task to accomplish.
Sole source purchases are defined as clearly and legitimately limited to a single supplier. Sole source
purchases are normally not allowed except when based upon strong technological grounds such as
operational compatibility with existing equipment and related parts or upon a clearly unique and cost
effective feature requirement.

Resolution Sole Source Genetec System - 4
4. What steps were taken to verify that these features are not available elsewhere?
☒ Other brands/manufacturers were examined (please list phone numbers and names, and
explain why these were not suitable).
The previous Access Control system, Intelli-Site by OSSI, does not natively integrate with
our security surveillance cameras, nor did it offer features like directory synchronization
or federation with other access control systems.
5. Sole source vendor certifies that the City is getting the lowest price offered for the item.
Quoted projects costs are similar to current City facility construction project related bids awarded
to Interwest Technology Systems Inc as a subcontractor to the projects,
Certification of Need
This recommendation for sole source is based upon on objective review of the product/service required and
appears to be in the best interest of the City. I know of no conflict of interest on my part of personal
involvement in any way with this request. No gratuities, favors or comprising actions have been taken.
Neither has my personal familiarity with particular brands, types or equipment, materials or firm been a
deciding influence on my request to sole source this purchase.
