Action               Motion: _________ Second: __________                                               Carried: Yes / No

We are recommending Communication Innovators.  Communication Innovators looks considerably higher, but they quoted a new camera server which we should look at doing.  If you remove that they are only around $800 more.  GWAEA prefers working with Communication Innovators as a vendor.

Interconnex bid a different solution which is cloud based, but didn't provide ongoing costs which you would have with a cloud system.  They also did not provide any information on tying in the door management which the Genatec system the other vendors bid does handle.
