Tier Two Installer Agreement

Project Green Light Detroit Tier Two Installer Agreement

This Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) is made and entered into as of [Date] by and among the City of Detroit Police Department (“DPD”), the City of Detroit acting by and through its Office of the Mayor (“City”), and [ENTITY NAME] (“Installer”).

RECITALS

A.    As historical data indicates, a significant amount of criminal activity in Detroit takes place at businesses open late into the evening. In light of this fact, on January 1, 2016, DPD and the City launched “Project Green Light Detroit,” a public-private-community effort centered on developing real-time surveillance connections between DPD and local businesses. 
 
B.    The “Project Green Light Detroit” program consists of businesses, building owners, business associations, and other entities (“Project Green Light Participants”), who make firm commitments to provide for, install, and maintain high-quality cameras, robust lighting, and numerous pieces of “Project Green Light Detroit” signage, in addition to fulfilling other requirements.  In return, DPD monitors those cameras, allows participants to leverage the “Project Green Light Detroit” brand, supports participants through a city-wide media campaign, and organizes public safety meetings with community groups and DPD and City personnel.

C.    The City and DPD provide Project Green Light participants with a list of approved vendors who can facilitate installation of cameras and other necessary equipment.  Installer seeks to be designated an approved vendor.  Specifically, Installer seeks to be designated a “Tier Two Installer” for the Project Green Light Program.

D.    Installer has completed all prerequisites necessary to enter into this MOU to the satisfaction of the City and DPD.  Specifically, Installer has:

(1) been in business for at least three (3) years, or has demonstrated, to DPD’s satisfaction, that it has at least three (3) years of relevant experience;

(2) submitted to DPD the names of individuals who it expects to work at Project Green Light sites, and those individuals have passed a criminal background check;

(9) completed all other necessary prerequisites that have been communicated by the City and DPD, in their sole discretion.

E.   Installer has the capacity to perform cable runs and terminations, power over Ethernet gigabit switch, model programming, and local bandwidth verification.
