RE: Cloud Based Traffic Analytics Software Trial Phase Agreement
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memorandum is to request approval of a collaboration agreement
with Milestone System, a video solutions software manufacturer. It would allow for the
sharing of certain traffic information for a joint research project that was originally
initiated on August, 2020 and has advanced to a trial phase/testing period of cloud
based advanced analytics solution.
BACKGROUND
City has developed a comprehensive and unique system of traffic and public safety
camera systems and sensors, all of which are fed into Milestone Systems video
management system, XProtect. Per our agreement signed in August, 2020, Milestone
believes significant benefit could occur from actionable insights that can be derived
from data captured by the City's traffic data sources. As a world leader in IP Video
Management Systems, Milestone selected the City of Dubuque to collaborate on
research to develop traffic use -cases for a MILESTONE developed and cloud -based
solution. City will receive a full report of the research and conclusions, and potentially
preferred access to any processes/products developed.
DISCUSSION
The City has had a long and positive relationship with Milestone and its products and
services. It believes that the actionable insights enabled by Milestone will benefit to
the City. This project has advanced into a trial/testing period for the next year where
City Traffic Engineers will deploy the software and provide feedback to Milestone on
their experience with using the solution in their work. There are no budgetary
requirements of the City over the next year during this trial period. Milestone will fund
the cloud services needed and will supply the software free of charge during this test
period. These agreements have been reviewed by City Attorney Crenna Brumwell,
Senior Council Barry Lindahl and IS Manager Chris Kohlmann.
RECOMMENDATION
We request you approve and sign the attached Statement of Work, Service Level
Agreement and Master Services Agreement Amendment with Milestone Systems.
