D-1
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
VIA: SERGIO GONZALEZ, ICMA-CM, CITY MANAGER
FROM: MIKE BERTELSEN, CHIEF OF POLICE
DATE: AUGUST 17, 2020
SUBJECT: LEASE OF TWENTY-ONE (21) AUTOMATED LICENSE PLATE READER (ALPR)
CAMERAS
BACKGROUND:
In June 2019, California Legislators passed AB-74 the Budget Act of 2019, which allocated $300,000.00
to the City of Azusa for public safety enhancements. In an effort to improve our technology based
investigative capabilities the Azusa Police Department began exploring ALPR technology. It was
determined Flock Safety Group could provide wide scale deployment of ALPR cameras to the City of
Azusa.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council take the following actions:
1) Approve the two year lease of twenty-one (21) Automated License Plate Reader
Cameras from Flock Group Inc, 1170 Howell Mill Rd NW Ste 210, Atlanta, GA 30318
in an amount not to exceed $110,250.00 based on the sole source purchasing process
noted in AMC Section 2-520(b) – Sole Source Purchases. The approval would be
subject to non-substantive changes made by the Chief of Police or City Attorney.
ANALYSIS:
In June 2019, California Legislators passed AB-74 the Budget Act of 2019, which allocated $300,000.00
to the City of Azusa for public safety enhancements. Staff researched and focused efforts on establishing
citywide coverage using a network of Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) cameras to lower crime
levels in the community.

ALPR Lease

Flock Safety presented staff with a desirable approach to deploying ALPR cameras throughout the
community. The Flock program is an all-inclusive model for deploying the APLR cameras. Flock
Safety is the sole manufacturer and developer of the Flock Safety Camera. Flock Safety is also the sole
provider of the comprehensive monitoring, processing, and machine vision services which integrate with
the Flock Safety Camera. There are several other differences between Flock and other ALPR companies.
Most notably they are the only manufacturer and service provider that leases ALPR services. Others
require the city to purchase equipment. The technology is also different because it captures motion and
not just license plates
The key benefits of Flock are that they charge an annual flat rate lease per camera of $2,500, which is
wireless, free of infrastructure setup, and has the option for solar or direct power. They also include a
two year warranty, Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) compliant cloud-based hosting,
unlimited user licenses, ongoing software enhancements, camera setup, mounting, shipping, handling
and a cellular connection. The Flock lease program prevents the City from being burdened with
maintaining costly equipment at the end of the agreement, which could require replacement.
The Flock program is being utilized by more than 210 police departments across the U.S. The L.A.
County Sheriff’s Department – Rosemead and Walnut stations, Ontario Police Department, Redlands
Police Department, and San Marino Police Department are just a few agencies currently utilizing
Flock’s services.
Flock’s cameras capture date, time, location, license plate (state, partial, paper, and no plate), vehicle
details (type and color), as well as objects (bicycle, animals, and people).
At the end of the two year lease period, staff could assess the benefits of the program and determine
whether to recommend continuing or discontinuing the program.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The City received $300,000 from the Board of State and Community Corrections in accordance with
Assembly Bill 74, Chapter 23, Statutes of 2019, Item 5227-107-0001, Provision 1(a). There are
adequate funds available for the two year lease of twenty-one (21) Automated License Plate Reader
(ALPR) Cameras using Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) funds received by the City
of Azusa for public safety enhancements, in accordance with Assembly Bill 74, the Budget Act of 2019.
Funds for the ALPR lease agreement will be paid from account #2820310093. Upon Council approval,
staff will prepare a budget amendment in account 2820310093-6625 that will be consistent with the
lease amount.

2.7 Installation Services.
2.7.1 Designated Locations. Prior to performing the physical installation of the Units, Flock shall advise Agency on the location
and positioning of the Units for optimal license plate image capture, as conditions and location allow. While Flock will provide
advice regarding the location of positioning of such Units, Agency will have the ultimate decision regarding the location, position
and angle of the Units (each Unit location so designated by Agency, a “Designated Location”). Due to the fact that Agency
selects the Designated Location, Flock shall have no liability to Agency resulting from any poor performance, functionality or
Footage resulting from or otherwise relating to the Designated Locations. After an installation plan with Designated Locations and
equipment has been agreed upon by both Flock and the Agency, any subsequent changes to the installation plan driven by
Agency's request will incur a $250 charge in addition to any equipment charges. These changes include but are not limited to
camera re-positioning, adjusting of camera mounting, re-angling, changes to heights of poles, and removing foliage.
2.7.2 Agency’s Installation Obligations. Agency agrees to allow Flock and its agents reasonable access to the designated
installation locations at all reasonable times upon reasonable notice for the purpose of performing the installation work (together
with the preceding sentence, the “Agency Installation Obligations”). It is understood that the Installation Fees do not include any
permits or associated costs, any federal, state or local taxes including property, license, privilege, sales, use, excise, gross receipts
or other similar taxes which may now or hereafter become applicable to, measured by or imposed upon or with respect to the
installation of the Hardware, its use, or any other services performed in connection therewith and that Agency shall be solely
responsible for the foregoing. Agency represents and warrants that it has all necessary right title and authority and hereby
authorizes Flock to install the Hardware at the Designated Locations and to make any necessary inspections or tests in connection
with such installation.
2.7.3 Flock’s Installation Obligations. The Hardware shall be installed in a workmanlike manner in accordance with Flock’s
standard installation procedures, and the installation will be completed within a reasonable time from the time the Designated
Locations are selected by Agency. Following the initial installation of the Hardware, Flock’s obligation to perform installation
Flock Group Inc.Order Form
Azusa PD-California
1720811141
work shall cease; however, Flock will continue to monitor the performance of the Units. Agency understands and agrees that the
Flock Services will not function without the Hardware.
2.7.4 Security Interest. The Hardware shall remain the personal property of Flock and will be removed upon the termination or
expiration of this Agreement. Agency agrees to perform all acts which may be necessary to assure the retention of title of the
Hardware by Flock. Should Agency default in any payment for the Flock Services or any part thereof or offer to sell or auction the
Hardware, then Agency authorizes and empowers Flock to remove the Hardware or any part thereof. Such removal, if made by
Flock, shall not be deemed a waiver of Flock’s rights to any damages Flock may sustain as a result of Agency’s default and Flock
shall have the right to enforce any other legal remedy or right.
2.8 Hazardous Conditions. Unless otherwise stated in the Agreement, Flock’s price for its services under this Agreement does
not contemplate work in any areas that contain hazardous materials, or other hazardous conditions, including, without limit,
asbestos. In the event any such hazardous materials are discovered in the designated locations in which Flock is to perform
services under this Agreement, Flock shall have the right to cease work immediately in the area affected until such materials are
removed or rendered harmless. Any additional expenses incurred by Flock as a result of the discovery or presence of hazardous
material or hazardous conditions shall be the responsibility of Agency and shall be paid promptly upon billing.
2.9 Support Services. Subject to the payment of fees, Flock shall monitor the performance and functionality of Flock Services
and may, from time to time, advise Agency on changes to the Flock Services, Installation Services, or the Designated Locations
which may improve the performance or functionality of the Services or may improve the quality of the Footage. The work, its
timing, and the fees payable relating to such work shall be agreed by the Parties prior to any alterations to or changes of the
Services or the Designated Locations (“Monitoring Services”). Subject to the terms hereof, Flock will provide Agency with
reasonable technical and on-site support and maintenance services (“On-Site Services”) in-person or by email at
hello@flocksafety.com. Flock will use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to requests for support.
3. AGENCY RESTRICTIONS AND
RESPONSIBILITIES
3.1 Agency Obligations. Agency agrees to provide Flock with accurate, complete, and updated registration information. Agency
may not select as its User ID a name that Agency does not have the right to use, or another person’s name with the intent to

will not share its account or password with anyone and must protect the security of its account and password. Agency is
responsible for any activity associated with its account. Agency shall be responsible for obtaining and maintaining any equipment
and ancillary services needed to connect to, access or otherwise use the Services. Agency will, at its own expense, provide

well as by means of assistance from Agency personnel, to the limited extent any of the foregoing may be reasonably necessary to
enable Flock to perform its obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, any obligations with respect to Support Services
or any Installation Services.
3.2 Agency Representations and Warranties. Agency represents, covenants, and warrants that Agency will use the Services
only in compliance with this Agreement and all applicable laws and regulations, including but not limited to any laws relating to
the recording or sharing of video, photo, or audio content and retention thereof.
4. CONFIDENTIALITY; AGENCY DATA; NON-
AGENCY DATA
4.1 Confidentiality. Each Party (the “Receiving Party”) understands that the other Party (the “Disclosing Party”) has disclosed or
may disclose business, technical or financial information relating to the Disclosing Party’s business (hereinafter referred to as
“Proprietary Information” of the Disclosing Party). Proprietary Information of Flock is non-public information including but not
limited to features, functionality, designs, user interfaces, trade secrets, intellectual property, business plans, marketing plans,
works of authorship, hardware, customer lists and requirements, and performance of the Flock Services. Proprietary Information
of Agency includes non-public Agency Data, Non-Agency End User Data, and data provided by Agency or a Non-Agency End
User to Flock or collected by Flock via the Unit, including the Footage, to enable the provision of the Services. The Receiving
Party shall not disclose, use, transmit, inform or make available to any entity, person or body any of the Proprietary Information,
except as a necessary part of performing its obligations hereunder, and shall take all such actions as are reasonably necessary and
appropriate to preserve and protect the Proprietary Information and the parties’ respective rights therein, at all times exercising at
least a reasonable level of care. Each party agrees to restrict access to the Proprietary Information of the other party to those
employees or agents who require access in order to perform hereunder. The Receiving Party agrees: (i) to take the same security
precautions to protect against disclosure or unauthorized use of such Proprietary Information that the party takes with its own
proprietary information, but in no event will a party apply less than reasonable precautions to protect such Proprietary
Information, and (ii) not to use (except in performance of the Services or as otherwise permitted herein) or divulge to any third
person any such Proprietary Information. Flock’s use of the Proprietary Information may include processing the Proprietary
Flock Group Inc.Order Form
Azusa PD-California
1720811141
Information to send Agency Notifications or alerts, such as when a car exits Agency’s neighborhood, or to analyze the data
collected to identify motion or other events.
The Disclosing Party agrees that the foregoing shall not apply with respect to any information that the Receiving Party can
document (a) is or becomes generally available to the public, or (b) was in its possession or known by Receiving Party prior to
receipt from the Disclosing Party, or (c) was rightfully disclosed to Receiving Party without restriction by a third party, or (d) was
independently developed without use of any Proprietary Information of the Disclosing Party.
Nothing in this Agreement will prevent the Receiving Party from disclosing the Proprietary Information pursuant to any
subpoena, summons, judicial order or other judicial or governmental process, provided that the Receiving Party gives the
Disclosing Party reasonable prior notice of such disclosure to obtain a protective order or otherwise oppose the disclosure. For
clarity, Flock may access, use, preserve and/or disclose the Footage to law enforcement authorities, government officials, and/or
third parties, if legally required to do so or if Flock has a good faith belief that such access, use, preservation or disclosure is
reasonably necessary to: (a) comply with a legal process or request; (b) enforce this Agreement, including investigation of any
potential violation thereof; (c) detect, prevent or otherwise address security, fraud or technical issues; or (d) protect the rights,
property or safety of Flock, its users, a third party, or the public as required or permitted by law, including respond to an
emergency situation. Flock may store deleted Footage in order to comply with certain legal obligations but such retained Footage
will not be retrievable without a valid court order.
4.2 Agency and Non-Agency End User Data. As between Flock and Agency, all right, title and interest in the Agency Data and
Non-Agency End User Data, belong to and are retained solely by Agency. Agency hereby grants to Flock a limited, non-
exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use the Agency Data and Non-Agency End User Data and perform all acts with
respect to the Agency Data and Non-Agency End User Data as may be necessary for Flock to provide the Flock Services to
Agency, including without limitation the Support Services set forth in Section 2.9 above, and a non-exclusive, perpetual,
irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid license to use, reproduce, modify and distribute the Agency Data and Non-Agency
End User Data as a part of the Aggregated Data (as defined in Section 4.4 below). As between Flock and Agency, Agency is
solely responsible for the accuracy, quality, integrity, legality, reliability, and appropriateness of all Agency Data and Non-Agency
End User Data. As between Agency and Non-Agency End Users that have prescribed access of Footage to Agency, each of
Agency and Non-Agency End Users will share all right, title and interest in the Non-Agency End User Data. This Agreement does
not by itself make any Non-Agency End User Data the sole property or the Proprietary Information of Agency.
Flock Group Inc.Order Form
Azusa PD-California
1720811141
4.3 Feedback. If Agency provides any suggestions, ideas, enhancement requests, feedback, recommendations or other
information relating to the subject matter hereunder, Agency hereby assigns (and will cause its agents and representatives to
assign) to Flock all right, title and interest (including intellectual property rights) with respect to or resulting from any of the
foregoing.
4.4 Aggregated Data. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Flock shall have the right to collect and
analyze data and other information relating to the provision, use and performance of various aspects of the Services and related
systems and technologies (including, without limitation, information concerning Agency Data and data derived therefrom).
Agency acknowledges that Flock will be compiling anonymized and/or aggregated data based on Agency Data and Non-Agency
End User Data input into the Services (the “Aggregated Data”). Agency hereby grants Flock a non-exclusive, worldwide,
perpetual, royalty-free right and license (during and after the Service Term hereof) to (i) use and distribute such Aggregated Data
to improve and enhance the Services and for other marketing, development, diagnostic and corrective purposes in connection with
the Services and other Flock offerings, and (ii) disclose the Agency Data and Non-Agency End User Data (both inclusive of any
Footage) to enable law enforcement monitoring against law enforcement hotlists as well as provide Footage search access to law
enforcement for investigative purposes only. No rights or licenses are granted except as expressly set forth herein.
5. PAYMENT OF FEES
5.1 Fees. Agency will pay Flock the first Usage Fee and the Installation Fee (the “Initial Fees”) as set forth on the Order Form on
or before the 7th day following the Effective Date of this Agreement. Flock is not obligated to commence the Installation
Services unless and until the Initial Fees have been made and shall have no liability resulting from any delay related thereto.
Agency shall pay the ongoing Usage Fees set forth on the Order Form with such Usage Fees due and payable thirty (30) days in
advance of each Payment Period. All payments will be made by either ACH, check, or credit card.
5.2 Changes to Fees. Flock reserves the right to change the Fees or applicable charges and to institute new charges and Fees at the
end of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term, upon sixty (60) days’ notice prior to the end of such Initial Term or Renewal Term
(as applicable) to Agency (which may be sent by email). If Agency believes that Flock has billed Agency incorrectly, Agency
must contact Flock no later than sixty (60) days after the closing date on the first billing statement in which the error or problem
appeared, in order to receive an adjustment or credit. Inquiries should be directed to Flock’s customer support department.
Agency acknowledges and agrees that a failure to contact Flock within this sixty (60) day period will serve as a waiver of any
claim Agency may have had as a result of such billing error.

5.3 Invoicing, Late Fees; Taxes. Flock may choose to bill through an invoice, in which case, full payment for invoices issued in
any given month must be received by Flock thirty (30) days after the mailing date of the invoice. Unpaid amounts are subject to a
finance charge of 1.5% per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is lower, plus all
expenses of collection, and may result in immediate termination of Service. Agency shall be responsible for all taxes associated
with Services other than U.S. taxes based on Flock’s net income.
5.4 No-Fee Term Access. Subject to Flock’s record retention policy, Flock offers complimentary access to the Flock System for
30 days (“No Fee Term”) to Agency when Non-Agency End Users intentionally prescribe access or judicial orders mandate
access to Non-Agency End User Data. No hardware or installation services will be provided to Agency. No financial
commitment by Agency is required to access the Flock Services or Footage. Should such access cause Flock to incur internal or
out-of-pocket costs that are solely the result of the access, Flock reserves the right to invoice these costs to Agency under Section
5.3 and Agency agrees to pay them. For clarity, No-Fee Terms and Service Terms can occur simultaneously, and when a No-Fee
Term overlaps with a Service Term, Agency agrees to pay the Initial Fees and Usage Fees payments according to Section 5.1.
6. TERM AND TERMINATION
6.1 Term. Subject to earlier termination as provided below, the initial term of this Agreement shall be for the period of time set
forth on the Order Form (the “Initial Term”). Following the Initial Term, this Agreement will automatically renew for
successive renewal terms of the length set forth on the Order Form (each, a “Renewal Term”, and together with the Initial Term,
the “Service Term”) unless either party gives the other party notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of
the then-current term.
6.2 Agency Satisfaction Guarantee. At any time during the agreed upon term, a customer not fully satisfied with the service or
solution may self-elect to terminate their contract. Self-elected termination will result in a one-time fee of up to $500 per camera
to cover equipment removal costs. Upon self-elected termination, a refund will be provided, pro-rated for any fees paid for the
remaining Term length set forth previously. Self-termination of the contract by the customer will be effective immediately. Flock
will remove all equipment at own convenience upon termination. Advance notice will be provided.
6.3 Termination. In the event of any material breach of this Agreement, the non-breaching party may terminate this Agreement
prior to the end of the Service Term by giving thirty (30) days prior written notice to the breaching party; provided, however, that
this Agreement will not terminate if the breaching party has cured the breach prior to the expiration of such thirty-day period.
Flock Group Inc.Order Form
Azusa PD-California
1720811141
Either party may terminate this Agreement, without notice, (i) upon the institution by or against the other party of insolvency,
receivership or bankruptcy proceedings, (ii) upon the other party's making an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (iii) upon
the other party's dissolution or ceasing to do business. Upon termination for Flock’s breach, Flock will refund to Agency a pro-
rata portion of the pre-paid Fees for Services not received due to such termination.
6.4 Effect of Termination. Upon any termination of the Service Term, Flock will collect all Units, delete all Agency Data,
terminate Agency’s right to access or use any Services, and all licenses granted by Flock hereunder will immediately cease.
Agency shall ensure that Flock is granted access to collect all Units and shall ensure that Flock personnel does not encounter
Hazardous Conditions in the collection of such units. Upon termination of this Agreement, Agency will immediately cease all
use of Flock Services.
6.5 No-Fee Term. The initial No-Fee Term will extend, after entering into this Agreement, for 30 days from the date a Non-
Agency End User grants access to their Footage and/or Notifications. In expectation of repeated non-continuous No-Fee Terms,
Flock may in its sole discretion leave access open for Agency’s Authorized End Users despite there not being any current Non-
Agency End User authorizations. Such access and successive No-Fee Terms are deemed to be part of the No-Fee Term. Flock, in
its sole discretion, can determine not to provide additional No-Fee Terms or can impose a price per No-Fee Term upon 30 days’
notice. Agency may terminate any No-Fee Term or access to future No-Fee Terms upon 30 days’ notice.
6.6 Survival. The following Sections will survive termination: 2.4, 2.5, 3, 4, 5 (with respect to any accrued rights to payment),
6.5, 7.4, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 9.1 and 10.5.
7. REMEDY; WARRANTY AND DISCLAIMER
7.1 Remedy. Upon a malfunction or failure of Hardware or Embedded Software (a “Defect”), Agency must first make
commercially reasonable efforts to address the problem by contacting Flock’s technical support as described in Section 2.9 above.
If such efforts do not correct the Defect, Flock shall, or shall instruct one of its contractors to, in its sole discretion, repair or
replace the Hardware or Embedded Software suffering from the Defect. Flock reserves the right to refuse or delay replacement or
its choice of remedy for a Defect until after it has inspected and tested the affected Unit; provided that such inspection and test
shall occur within 72 hours after Agency notifies the Flock of defect. Except for cameras owned by Agency, Flock agrees to
replace cameras once at no cost to Agency upon the first instance of theft or damage. Subsequent replacement due to damage or
theft will be at Agency’s own expense with a replacement cost of $300 per camera. Agency shall not be required to replace
subsequently damaged or stolen units; however, Agency understands and agrees that functionality, including Footage, will be
Flock Group Inc.Order Form
Azusa PD-California
1720811141
materially affected due to such subsequently damaged or stolen units and that Flock will have no liability to Agency regarding
such affected functionality nor shall the Fees owed be impacted.
7.2 Exclusions. Flock will not provide the remedy described in Section 7.1 above if any of the following exclusions apply: (a)
misuse of the Hardware or Embedded Software in any manner, including operation of the Hardware or Embedded Software in any
way that does not strictly comply with any applicable specifications, documentation, or other restrictions on use provided by
Flock; (b) damage, alteration, or modification of the Hardware or Embedded Software in any way; or (c) combination of the
Hardware or Embedded Software with software, hardware or other technology that was not expressly authorized by Flock.
7.3 Warranty. Flock shall use reasonable efforts consistent with prevailing industry standards to maintain the Services in a
manner which minimizes errors and interruptions in the Services and shall perform the Installation Services in a professional and
workmanlike manner. Services may be temporarily unavailable for scheduled maintenance or for unscheduled emergency
maintenance, either by Flock or by third-party providers, or because of other causes beyond Flock’s reasonable control, but Flock
shall use reasonable efforts to provide advance notice in writing or by e-mail of any scheduled service disruption.
7.4 Disclaimer. THE REMEDY DESCRIBED IN SECTION 7.1 ABOVE IS AGENCY’S SOLE REMEDY, AND FLOCK’S
SOLE LIABILITY, WITH RESPECT TO DEFECTIVE HARDWARE AND/OR EMBEDDED SOFTWARE. THE FLOCK
DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE; NOR DOES IT MAKE
ANY WARRANTY AS TO THE RESULTS THAT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM USE OF THE SERVICES. EXCEPT AS
