N059--Security Camera Installation Brand name or Equal DigiOpt Replacement

The Contractor will be required to design the system in a fashion that allows the system to be internal to the campus on a standalone Network and sent through a secure point to point tunnel between the different locations within the Central Texas area. The New system must support full integration into the Software house C-Cure system and existing Victor video Edge. The system and any new cameras added must support facial recognition, suspect following and some cameras that will be placed outside in areas determined by the VA police will need to have a License plate capture function. The New system must be designed for a 90-day recording of video with an estimated 65% activity at 10fps. (This will vary depending on the camera locations) and have a search function that allows searching for activity within a certain area of the frame. The New system must have a 2-year warranty on all parts and labor (this does not include the cameras that are already in existence). And must include a 2-year Licenses and SSA agreements for the completed system. 0002 30.00 EA $00.00 $00.00 Unmanaged Network Switches for Camera system 0003 4.00 EA $00.00 $00.00 Network Video Recorders 0004 90.00 EA $00.00 $00.00 Replacement Cameras 0005 10.00 EA $00.00 $00.00 New PTZ Cameras 0006 30.00 EA $00.00 $00.00 Backup Power supplys UPS to support the switches and NVRs 0007 1.00 JB $00.00 $00.00 Other items need for installation, like J-Hooks, Wiring, and other items needed. Project Overview: The Contractor will be required to design the replacement system in a manor that places the cameras on a standalone network that will interconnect to the existing system over a second NIC card on the NVR The new system must support full integration into the Software house C-Cure system and existing Victor Video Edge. The system and any new cameras added must support facial recognition, suspect following and some cameras that will be placed outside in areas determined by the VA police and COR will need to have a license plate capture function. The new system must be designed for a 90-day recording of video with an estimated 65% activity at 10fps. (This will vary depending on the camera locations) and have a search function that allows searching for activity within a certain area of the frame. The new system must have a 2-year warranty on all parts and labor (this does not include the cameras that are already in existence). And must include a 2-year licenses and SSA agreements for the completed system. All equipment must be TAA compliant. Any wireless equipment must meet the VA FIPS-140-2 requirements. The Contractor will be required to provide multiple training sessions for the End User for the full operation of the system. Employees for the maintenance are already factory trained. The Contractor will be required to create and provide a drawing of all cameras in Temple on the consolidated system. The Vendor must be factory trained and listed as an authorized dealer by American Dynamics to purchase all licenses and SSA agreements for the CTXVHA. 3.2 Known Factors: The Contractor will be required to incorporate all the existing S3 cameras, with the exception of those being replaced, into the new system and add several others into the system. All existing switches and UPS that support the switches are required to be replaced. The Fiber paths and existing cables can continue to be used. Any cabling for new cameras must be cat6A , (all cameras being replaced can be left on the current cabling). Any new interconnections between Com Rooms will be provided by the VA. There are an estimated 275 cameras, mostly S3, in Temple on DigiOpt, on the Temple Campus. The second system, American Dynamics contains about 120 cameras (95% of them are Illustra Pro) in Temple and another est. 300 in Waco. The Cameras on the Victor Software are operational at 100% and are not included in the project except they must be included on the drawings for the Temple Campus. On the DigiOpt there are about 60 Cameras that are needing replacements. There are about 30 Cameras that will need to be added and an estimate of about 10 outdoor PTZ. We are also requiring 100 cameras, to replace about 60 of the S3 cameras that are having issues as well as the addition of the other 30 Dome Cameras and 10 PTX s in Temple. Current network switches and UPS, a total of about 30 each, will be required to be replaced with new unmanaged switches. The NVR s must support multiple network connections. The system can be designed using an internal network for the cameras and a second network connection can be integrated into the rest of the system. Attending a site visit is mandatory to prevent any confusion as to the scope, locations and type of equipment needed to perform this design and install of the new Central Texas Camera System. All Existing cameras require cleaning and adjustments. Building drawings are provided as is and the camera locations are estimates. We do not have any updated drawings that show the exact location of all cameras that are currently installed. 3.3 Constraints on Installation: The Vendor will be required to coordinate all work through the COR, all schedules of installation must be in a manor to not impede the daily operations of the Medical Center and patient care.

If none exist in an area the contractor will be required to supply. 4.0 Applicable Directives VA 0730 Security requirements All NEC codes as applicable to the installation All OSHA requirements that pertain to the work being performed All FPA codes that pertain to the installation of this system 5.0 Performance Requirements (Identify what the contractor is required to do (major tasks and subtasks).
