Alanco clarifies Puerto Rican prison project status
Greg Oester, the president of Alanco/TSI Prism Inc., has offered a clarification of reports last month that the company had been awarded a contract by security systems consulting firm the Weil Group to design an RFID-based inmate tracking system for a prison complex located in Bayamon, Puerto Rico.
“Our current contractual relationship with the Weil Group requires Alanco/TSI PRISM to provide an RF design and firm pricing commitment for installing a TSI PRISM RFID system at the Bayamon 501 prison facility operated by the Puerto Rico Department of Corrections in exchange for a design fee,” says Oester. “The RF design and pricing commitment is required by the Puerto Rico DOC as part of its process to determine if it will move forward with the project. The DOC has not issued a contract or a commitment to install an RFID system at any facility at this time.”
