2026 Buildings Capital Bond Request - B
The 2026 Buildings Capital Bond "B" request includes $2,000,000 for the replacement of the access
control system for various county-owned buildings. The requested funding:
Project Name
Replace AMAG access control
System with alternate system
Project Description
installation and set up costs including
1st yr subscription service
Project Total
$2,000,000
DPW's Building Division has been researching options to change the preferred access control system
from the current AMAG system, which the County adopted as its standard security access control
system via Resolution No. 2013114 in April 2013. Since 2022, the licensed vendors for the AMAG
system in our region have failed to provide satisfactory technical and on-site support for the County's
access control system. Replacement parts are becoming difficult to source, and there are known
software and hardware security issues that AMAG is not addressing to the Department's satisfaction.
In addition, the AMAG system cannot provide reports in sufficient detail to allow for proper access
control system auditing, management and maintenance.
626 Dutchess Turnpike, Poughkeepsie, New York 12603 | (845) 486-2085 | www.dutchessny.gov
There are many efficiency benefits to a fully compatible security access electronic door control
system; the number of keys that need to be carried by the County's maintenance staff will be reduced,
access to buildings in an emergency is accelerated, there is increased safety and security in daily
operations, there is cost savings and efficiency when purchasing parts and supplies. All of these
benefits translate into cost savings for the taxpayers.
The Department would migrate from the current AMAG system to a new system over a period of 3-4
years to manage budget impacts and to ensure that all buildings and facilities are secure during the
migration period.
