City Council approval is requested to increase the existing agreement with RD Systems, Inc., by $92,000, for the period ending May 31, 2017, so that access control, intercom, and monitoring services can be added and/or upgraded for the Financial Management Department Fleet Services Bureau (Fleet Services) and Library Services Department (Library Services) projects.
