How this text was read: 2 pages · OCR, reading a rasterised page · 1 page · the document’s own text layer. That means part of it is a machine’s reading of an image, which can transpose a digit or invent a character. The OCR's own mean confidence over the 277 words it read was 95.8%, its lowest 87.1%, with none below 60%. 2 pages have since been checked against the image by a person. The document linked above is the record; this is a reading of it. The sha256 is published so the original can be checked against what the city produced.

Sole Source Designation
Sole Source/Single Source Justification
Flock Safety has a product called Flock Falcon which is an LPR (License
Plate Reader) tied into a nationwide database and search engine. The city
owns 1 Flock camera already. Several neighborhoods in the city are using
Flock too and the police department has been given access to these
cameras by the respective HOAs. We are looking to add more city cameras
into the Flock system which has unique search and notification abilities
nationwide. We can buy LPR cameras from other vendors but they would
not integrate with our existing Flock system so they would not accomplish
our goal of having these new cameras as part of our Flock system. In order
to add more cameras to our Flock system, they must be Flock cameras.

What this page looks like — a machine’s description of the image, not a transcription

A machine-generated PDF printout of a City of Alpharetta online workflow form, scanned as an image. The page is a single column of laser-clean sans-serif type on white; there is no handwriting, no stamp, no signature image and no show-through anywhere on it. A run-in header at the top lists the submission metadata: Form Name, Browser, IP Address, Unique ID, Request ID, Submission Completed, Process Time, Participant(s) and Location. Below it a heading, 'Sole Source/Single Source Designation', over a two-column table whose first row gives the Designation as 'Sole Source Designation' and whose second row carries the full justification narrative: Flock Safety has a product called Flock Falcon, an LPR tied into a nationwide database and search engine; the city owns 1 Flock camera already; several neighborhoods are using Flock and the police department has been given access to those cameras by the respective HOAs; other vendors' LPR cameras would not integrate with the existing Flock system; therefore to add more cameras to the Flock system they must be Flock cameras. A second heading, 'General Information', introduces rows for Date, Originator's Name and Email, Department, Department Director/Designee Name and Email, Vendor Name and Vendor #. A third heading, 'Department Director Approval', gives Name, Date/Time and the approval decision. The page ends with a fourth heading, 'Budget & Procurement Manager Approval', and its rule — the section itself continues onto page 2. Nothing appears below that heading; the band scan confirms the sheet is empty past roughly y=756 pt. No dollar figure appears anywhere on this page.

What this page looks like — a machine’s description of the image, not a transcription

The continuation and final page of the sole-source form, in the same clean scanned type as page 1. It opens mid-section: the first two rows are labelled only 'Name' and 'Date/Time' with no heading above them, because their heading - 'Budget & Procurement Manager Approval' - sits at the foot of page 1. Those rows give Shawn Mitchell and 01/08/2021 10:59 AM, and the third row, labelled 'Budget & Procurement Manager Approval', records the decision 'Approve'. A heading 'Procurement Official Approval' then introduces three rows: Name 'Thomas Harris', Date '01/11/2021 09:32 AM', and the decision 'Approve'. A final heading 'City Attorney Approval' introduces Name 'Sam Thomas', Date/Time '01/11/2021 03:44 PM', and the decision 'Approve'. Below the last rule the page is entirely empty - roughly the bottom 55 percent of the sheet carries nothing at all. There is no handwriting, no signature, no stamp, no page number and no footer. Every approval on this form is a workflow click recorded as typed text; not one of them is a written signature. No dollar figure appears anywhere on the page.
