2. Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount: The subject project will incorporate Johnson Controls Inc.

technology at key entry points, install motion sensors, replace breezeway doors, integrate a double pole double throw (DPDT) relay system, and install an intrusion alarm system in the mail room. The contractor is responsible for providing all tools, labor, material, and equipment necessary for the expansion of the existing Security Access Control System involves Physical Access Control (PACS) devices, consisting of Controls/Communications Panels, Electronic Security Management System, Door Control Modules, Card Reader/Keypad Combination, Portal Control Devices, Door Status Indicators, and Entry Control Devices. The Johnson Controls PACS will be installed and integrated into the existing hospital access infrastructure.

The estimated value of the Johnson Controls PACS is.

3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: The PACS devices that are to be installed as part of this project represent an extension of the existing Johnson Controls PACS at our facility. As such, each new device must tie into and communicate with the existing Facility PACS, which is manufactured by Johnson.

Each device in a PACS, whether it’s a card reader or control panel, constantly communicates with the front end of the PACS. This allows the system to monitor each and every device, so that it can not only receive alarms, but also can detect failures of the device as well – which is a critical element in any PACS. Software conflicts would make it difficult to impossible for devices by another manufacturer to communicate with the existing Johnson System, and could result in circumventing the Physical Security of the Medical Center.
