2. Replacement of the existing network infrastructure with an enterprise-class Arista

City Council · 2026-06-15 · agenda_item

The City of Jacksonville Beach is planning to upgrade its network infrastructure and install a new camera system at the Water Reclamation Facility. This project involves replacing the existing network equipment with an Arista switching platform and installing a modern camera system, transitioning from the Avigilon platform to the Verkada platform. The work is planned to proceed in phases upon council approval, starting with network discovery, followed by the installation of new networking equipment, and then the installation of cameras. This initiative aims to significantly enhance security, operational oversight, and long-term resiliency for water and wastewater operations. Contractors specializing in network installation, low-voltage systems, and security systems could find opportunities as this project moves forward. Early engagement before final bids and permits may offer a competitive advantage.
