Security Camera System w/Installation

Questions & Answers / Clarifications

This document provides responses to vendor questions regarding the 56 SOIS Camera System w/Install opportunity.

• Building Information: No building drawings are available for Building 848 due to its SCIF status. Approximate interior ceiling heights are 10.5 ft, and exterior heights are 15-20 ft. Interior ceilings are tile edge panel, while exterior areas are mostly open structure.
• Camera Manufacturer: Offerors may propose any manufacturer, including brands comparable to Pelco Sarix Professional 4 series, provided the cameras meet the PWS and Q&A requirements. "Or equal" products are acceptable.
• Camera Specifications: Required cameras include dome, fisheye, and multi-head types meeting or exceeding 4K (8MP) resolution (8MP minimum for fisheye), low-light capability, PoE, ONVIF compliance (Profile S/T), appropriate IP ratings for outdoor use, and compatibility with local recording systems. No integrated Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, default remote access, or cloud connectivity is permitted unless explicitly approved.
• Storage & Recording: A local, standalone video recording solution is required for eleven cameras (6 dome, 2 fisheye, 3 multi-head exterior). Storage must support a minimum of 30 days of continuous recording. RAID 1 or 5 is required for redundancy. Cloud storage and external network connectivity are not authorized unless explicitly approved.
• Workstation & PoE: Standard commercial configurations for workstations, PoE switches, and UPS are acceptable if they meet system performance requirements. Workstations must support VMS for eleven cameras without degradation (modern OS required). UPS must support equipment for at least 30 minutes. All components must be compatible and allow for future scalability.
• Labor Requirements: Prevailing wage (Davis-Bacon) and union labor requirements are not applicable as the requirement is considered a supply of equipment (commodity).

These clarifications provide specific details on acceptable manufacturers, technical specifications for cameras and recording systems, and confirm that prevailing wage requirements do not apply. Bidders should ensure their proposals meet these detailed requirements.
