Sloan Canyon National Conservation Area Visitor Contact Station Camera Security System

BLM Southern Neveda District Red Rock/ Sloan Field Office

March 2, 2026

1. Introduction The Sloan Canyon National Conservation Area (NCA) is preparing to open a new visitor contact station in 2026, that will serve as the operational hub and primary gateway to some of southern Nevada’s most significant cultural and natural resources. Designed to welcome the public, support educational programming, and protect the area’s renowned petroglyph sites, the facility represents a major investment in visitor experience and resource stewardship. As with any public-facing site, the VCS faces unique security challenges. To safeguard personnel, federal property, sensitive information, and critical infrastructure, the facility requires a comprehensive security camera system that can record activity in and around the VCS, provide a crime deterrence presence, and can seamlessly integrate with broader security operations. Implementing such a system will help ensure that the visitor contact station remains both an inviting public space and a secure operational hub for managing this NCA.

2. Background This Performance Work Statement (PWS) outlines the requirements for the installation of a security camera system at the Sloan Canyon National Conservation Area Visitor Contact Station (VCS). The purpose of the system is to provide continuous monitoring and recording of unauthorized access, theft, or tampering. By recording suspicious activity in real time, a security camera system supports the safety of personnel, safeguards government assets, and ensures compliance with federal security standards.

The VCS facility is approximately 3000 square feet. The 800 square foot visitor space has two points of entry. There is a security door between the visitor space and the employee workspace. The 2200 square-foot employee workspace has one point of entry from the outside and one point of entry from the visitor area. See Figure 1.

3. Scope The Sloan Canyon National Conservation Area is new construction and requires a new Avigilon network security system. To ensure consistency, compatibility, and cost‑effective support across BLM Nevada, the Avigilon ACC Client software is the approved CCTV standard established through BLM Configuration Management. The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, and supervision necessary to perform required services under this contract. The Selected Contractor will provide a comprehensive camera design for the interior and exterior or the VCS, and the parking lot, delivery, and on-site assembly and installation of the camera system. The design should provide for maximum surveillance based on the recommended camera locations identified in Figures 1-5 below. The work shall be performed in a manner that will ensure value or effectiveness in use of staff or facility time. The Contractor shall have only competent and qualified personnel perform the work.

The exhibit area shown in the figures may contain exhibit pieces in Fall 2026; contractors must avoid damaging them while working.

3.1 This will be a firm, fixed price contract.

4. Required Tasks The contractor shall perform the following tasks:

4.1 Assess the building and provide a customized plan and installation of the most current security camera technology that meets federal security standards, provides complete coverage of interior and exterior spaces, and meets our specific location requirements. This includes:

No fixed quantity of cameras is mandated. See attached Figures.

Cameras should ideally monitor entrances, exits, and parking lots. If a set of cameras (exterior or interior) clearly captures who enters and leaves through the doors, then the coverage is adequate.
