The vendor is required to provide for the design, installation, and ongoing technical support, ensuring that the security system is robust, user-friendly, and effectively address our security objectives.
- Door access control requirements
• provide a complete access control system for the 16 doors located in the courthouse and 11 doors in the administrative location including all hardware, software, and licenses necessary for operation.
• All doors will use proximity pads, or card readers.
• Based on our review the courthouse will require 5 doors with (2) readers on each door and 11 doors with (1) reader on each door.
• The administrative office areas require only (1) reader each door.
• Any modifications to the door hardware, including but not limited to handle sets, panic bars, and closures are to be included within the price proposal.
• Management platform: the access control system must be managed alongside the camera system in a unified “pane of glass” software interface, ensuring centralized control and management.
• Wiring: all existing door access control wiring needs to be completely re-run and upgraded as the existing wiring is on 2-conductor.
• This includes pulling and terminating new wiring to all locations, ensuring compatibility with the new access control hardware and system.
• Due to the age of the building surface mounted exposed raceways are permitted within locations deemed not feasible for concealed installations.
• Electric strikes and mag locks: where possible, the existing electric strikes and magnetic locks will remain in place and do not require replacement.
• All new doors can be secured using the same technology best suited for its location.
• System features: the access control system must include features such as role-based access, time-based restrictions, remote unlock capabilities, audit logging, and integration with the camera system for incident response and investigation.
- Security camera system
• Scope: provide a total of 26 interior and 4 exterior cameras at the courthouse location and 9 interior cameras at the administrative offices location.
• Wiring: the existing camera system will need to be wired with cat 6 cabling.
• Camera features: the camera system must include advanced ai capabilities such as facial recognition, object detection, motion analytics, and suspicious behavior recognition.
• Cloud-based storage: the camera system must be cloud-based, with redundancy and scalability.
• Edge storage should be utilized for temporary local retention of footage, ensuring no data loss in the event of internet connectivity issues.
• Existing infrastructure: the wiring for the existing cameras is coaxial cabling and will require replacement.
• Camera placement & types: with the exception of the administration offices location, the existing cameras should be placed in their current locations.
• We encourage the reuse of our existing cameras if feasible, if not the camera types used for replacement should be comparable to the existing camera types to ensure the same coverage and views.
- System integration & management
• Unified management platform: the door access control system and surveillance cameras must be integrated into a single platform for ease of management.
• The platform should allow operators to monitor doors and cameras, configure access levels, generate reports, review video footage, and receive real-time alerts.
• AI integration: the camera system should leverage AI to enhance operational efficiency and security.
• The AI should support real-time analytics such as threat detection, anomaly detection, facial recognition and alerting.
• Cloud-based licenses: cloud-based licensing for both the access control and camera systems should be included for a minimum of three (3) years.
• The licensing should cover all devices and provide access to the system updates and cloud-based services for the duration of the term.
• System scalability: the proposed system shall be scalable to allow for future expansion within the location installed or other locations within the county.
- Installation, testing, and commissioning
• The awarded vendor is responsible for the complete installation of the door access control system, surveillance cameras, all necessary hardware, and cabling.
• The vendor will also be responsible for configuring the system and ensuring it is fully operational.
• After installation, the vendor will conduct through testing and commissioning of the access control and camera system.
• All system functions, including access permissions, video recording, cloud storage, and AI analytics must be tested to ensure they meet performance expectations.
• Provide training for county personnel on how to use and maintain the integrated security system, including access control management, camera surveillance, and system analytics.
