7. The turnstiles model(ALVARADO SU5000) comes in various sizes please specify the following characteristics for the turnstiles, panel height (glass doors) 35", 46" or 69" RESPONSE: Drawings call out full height glass optical turnstiles, Specification call out Aeroturn with 72” high barriers panels as basis of design.

RESPONSE: Drawings show 36” wide turnstiles, Provide ADA 36” passageway for all turnstiles.

RESPONSE: C-CURE is the current ACS system.

RESPONSE: Yes, C-CURE 9000 Rev 3.

Where is it to be installed? There is no symbol located.

RESPONSE: Reception at the SCC workstation.

14. The customer is requesting a Genetec VMS solution however, ADVC-VEFR, ADVC-

CENTLIC

RESPONSE: TN-series drawing sheets and narrative address two separate systems to be implemented: A Video Management System (VMS) and a Physical Security Information Management System (PSIM).

The Basis of Design (BOD) for the VMS is American Dynamics’ Victor, complete with VideoEdge NVRs. The VMS will also incorporate behavior, facial, and license plate reader analytics. A.D. Victor is an integration partner with Genetec.

The BOD for the PSIM is Synergis IX, in which devices are designed to work with the Genetec Security Center platform to unify access control, intrusion detection, video surveillance, communications, and BMS monitoring together under one management system. An alternate BOD for PSIM is Network Harbor’s “Lighthouse”.

However, these are only BODs. Contractor to present VMS and PSIM submittals compatible with Genetec Security Center, v5.11 and C-CURE 9000, v3.00, as well as all video analytics upgrades.

15. Are licenses for American Dynamics systems? Are you needing the equivalent solution these licenses offer but a genetec alternative?

RESPONSE: Licenses to be provided for all new/updated/modified hardware and/or software.

16. The Metrasense weapons detection system will this system be tied to both the CCURE and Genetec systems? Or just the Genetec system?

RESPONSE: This needs to be fully integrated into the PACS as well as the PSIM for the SCC. The operational process is that whenever a positive read is made by the Metrasens screener, it sends an alarm signal to the PSIM, as well as disables the interior double door PACS use via C-cure, until an “all clear” is authorized by the Security Control Center (reception desk).

17. The drawings show Alvarado Turnstiles, while the specs show Aeroturn. Can we get clarification?

PSIM.
