Collin County Public Works wants to keep its Flock Safety camera system running past the contract's Nov. 9 expiration while a long-term agreement waits for commissioners who take office in January.
The extension is on the commissioners court's draft agenda for Monday, Nov. 2.
In an Oct. 16 memo, Public Works official Jon Kleinheksel described how the county has used the system since entering the contract during fiscal 2026: to watch roads that flood often so crews can respond quickly in severe weather, and to enforce environmental rules at known illegal dumping sites and where concrete has been spilled along the Outer Loop.
Month to month, or through March
The memo asks for a month-to-month extension "until the new Court is formally in place this upcoming January" and can review a longer agreement. The county purchasing department's summary of the same item describes it as an amendment that would extend the contract through March 9, 2027, and amend its payment terms.
The documents attached to the agenda item do not include a dollar figure for the extension period.
What the county bought
The original order form with Flock Group Inc., signed through a cooperative purchasing contract, lists:
- 48 Flock license plate reader cameras and two "Flex" units
- four mobile security trailers
- 10 integrated video streams and a traffic analytics package
- installation of 48 poles
