Richland, WA Flock Contract

Who approved this?

Approved on the consent agenda, without discussion, by Richland City Council on September 20, 2022.

The Richland City Council accepted a Washington Auto Theft Prevention Authority grant on September 20, 2022, carried on the agenda as item 11 at $33,589 for Flock Falcon cameras and tire deflation devices. The Flock Group Inc order form took effect September 22, 2022 and covers 10 Falcon cameras plus standard implementation and 4 Wing Replay promotional units. Year 1 totals $28,500 and each later year totals $25,000, billed annually net 30. The order form sets a 12 month initial term and a 24 month renewal term. City Manager Jon Amundson signed for Richland on September 22, 2022 and Flock general counsel Mark Smith signed on September 23, 2022. The Tri-Cities Observer reported in November 2023 that Richland ran 10 cameras and that the council approved the purchase on its consent calendar with little discussion. The agenda grant figure and the order form total differ because the grant also covered tire deflation devices, so both figures are named here and neither is averaged. No termination record was found, and the most recent confirmation of operation is November 2023.
