Unified School Safety and Security Platform

The Vendor is required to provide a single, unified safety and security platform that consolidates:
•    Video surveillance management and recording (required immediately; must bridge existing cameras).
•    Front entry intercom/door entry (required; separate pricing).
•    Access control (required as a modernization partnership; phased replacement as devices fail).
•    Environmental sensors (not an immediate purchase requirement, but platform capability is required and will be evaluated).
- Project Objectives:
•    Provide one platform (“single pane of glass”) for video surveillance, door entry intercoms, access control, and environmental sensors, with the ability to expand to additional compatible modules/components offered by the proposer as future district needs evolve.
•    Support bridging of existing cameras into the new platform without immediate camera replacement.
•    Provide an optional, itemized plan and pricing to replace all cameras district-wide, either during this project or as a later phase depending on funding.
•    Provide a scalable recording/storage architecture sized for the current camera footprint and future growth.
•    Support active directory (ad) synchronization and role-based access control (RBAC) aligned to district job functions, with building/site-based scoping (e.g., users may only view/manage cameras/doors/sensors for their assigned schools/facilities) using ad groups or equivalent automated provisioning.
•    Support a phased access-control transition while maintaining a single credential for end users. Provide a one-badge transition approach. Native support for existing p20dye credentials is preferred; if native support is not available, proposer shall provide a priced alternate one-badge method.
•    Provide strong and efficient cybersecurity controls, auditing, identification, tracking, incident workflows, and export/retention capabilities.
•    Provide clear, separable pricing for each phase/module so the District can purchase in stages.
- New recording/management infrastructure (cloud, on-prem, or hybrid) sized to support the current footprint and stated retention assumptions.
- Integration with door release and access control workflows where applicable, including event logging.
- Subsequent replacement phases should be prioritized based on camera capability, beginning with models that provide the least functionality and progressing to higher-capability models.
- Modernization Approach (Phased Transition)
•    A modernization plan to replace the District’s current kantech access control incrementally as components fail, are upgraded, or are prioritized by the District.
•    The proposed approach must support a multi-year phased rollout (District planning horizon: up to five years), without disrupting day-to-day operations.
- Scale and Expandability
•    Support for approximately 110 doors district-wide (initial estimate) and expandability for additional doors and facilities.
•    Provide recommended architecture (controllers, readers, licensing) for multi-site K-12 environments.
- Unified Platform Requirements (Required)
•    Provide one platform (“single pane of glass”) for video surveillance, door entry intercoms, access control, and environmental sensors, with the ability to expand to additional compatible modules/components offered by the proposer as future District needs evolve.
•    Consistent login methods and RBAC across modules.
•    Central audit logging across all modules with export capability is preferred.
•    Multi-site management with site-level permissions and delegated administration options.
