1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 10, Lieutenant Colonel Charles S. Kettles

Veterans Affairs Medical Center

Nature and/or Description of the Action Being Processed: The project includes interior renovation of existing basement, sub-basement, electrical shop, and recreation therapy office space in Building 1 West. The work associated with this Single-source Justification includes the addition of a security camera to an existing security system. The security system work is specified in the Division 21 and 28 Specifications. The security system work is specified in the specifications in Division 28 and Sheets 1-EY101. 28-EY101, and E502 of the Drawings.

Description of Supplies/Services Required to Meet the Agency’s Needs: The security system is an existing system that shall remain in operation and be revised, extended, and reutilized. The new cameras must be manufactured by IC Realtime and be compatible with the existing security system platform (also developed by IC Realtime). Maintaining continuity with the existing system will facilitate future updates and ensure the equipment functions properly and communicates with the existing system. It will be much easier to perform future upgrades if the number of brands cameras is limited. This will also help when security systems at this and other stations are linked together.

Total cost associated with the work described in this brand-name-only justification is approximately $1,500.
