Installation facilities civil engineering input must be solicited when designing above-ground perimeter security features.

ePACS component locations must be identified early in initial design and planning stages to coordinate conduit installation and electronic module interface requirements for security locks and equipment. This provides those responsible for collateral equipment the required time to plan for the facility’s necessary equipment.

Detailed door-by-door coordination reviews must be conducted during design development and creation of construction documents. Door-by-door coordination will consider door locks (hardware needs or changes), hinges and whether coring to electrify the door, is required.

Wall space for security panels and floor space for ePACS equipment racks and consoles need to be discussed early in the project.

ePACS system will operate in the Fail-Secure mode. Key override at the main and rear exits of the facility is required. One additional key is required for storage in the facility’s Knox box.

Electric strikes and REX devices will be used to secure areas from unauthorized access while providing a means of egress for authorized personnel.

Life safety codes must be observed. Physical security system design must be coordinated with and comply with NFPA 101 and the ABA Accessibility Standard for Department of Defense.

Grounding, bonding, and lightning protection will be in accordance with UFC 3-520- 01, Interior Electrical Systems, UFC 3-575-01, ANSI/TIA J-STD-607, NFPA 70, and NFPA 780 as applicable.

Conduit and cabling associated with the ePACS should be installed within the perimeter of the protected area to the greatest extent possible where cables are exposed.

All signal and DTM lines must incorporate some level of line supervision. Line supervision for ePACS must detect and annunciate communication interruptions or compromised communications between field devices and the server. Field device signals must be supervised by monitoring the circuit and initiate an alarm in response to opening, closing, shorting, or grounding of the signal. DTM supervision must initiate an alarm upon any manipulation or disruption of the signal.

Data encryption must comply with NIST FIPS standards.

All interior and exterior electronic readers must have tamper resistant enclosures and integral tamper protection switches. All enclosures, cabinets, housing, boxes, and fittings having hinged doors or removable covers that are protected by employed sensors must be locked, welded, brazed, or secured with tamper resistant security fasteners and be tamper alarmed.

The security system must use dedicated frequencies to transmit ePACS alarm data.

The system must detect and report intentional and unintentional jamming attempts.

As closely as possible, the system must be designed so as not to experience a voltage drop of 10% or less.

Per NFPA 70, harmonics must be considered during design and the reference standard, IEEE 519, observed.

Harmful harmonic levels must be dealt with by isolating the harmonic source from the rest of the power system or in isolating sensitive equipment from harmonics.

All conduit, wireway, and raceway must meet the requirements of NFPA 70. Conduit runs must have a maximum of three 90-degree bends or any combination of bends not-to-exceed 270 degrees (if conduit is used – see conceptual design plan).

Cables must be labeled at origination, termination, entry into and exit from enclosures with permanent labels.

When required, shielded cable must only be grounded at one end, typically back at the local security panel to prevent open loop grounds.

There is no need to integrate ePACS with the fire alarm system because electric strikes and REX devices are used at every portal site.

The badging system will have the mullion readers installed during the initial installation and the 2-factor authenticator readers shall be installed/changed out upon arrival.

Warranty will include training (to include annual dongle/software updates training), repair or replacement of all malfunctioning parts, and help desk support calls as needed. One-year maintenance and service support plan, post warranty, will include repair and/or replace service calls.

CFS shall remove all trash, debris, or surplus material from the work site during and at the end of each workday and shall leave the work site clean of all debris when work is completed.

Contractor is responsible for the coordination of all parts of the work such that no work shall be left in an unfinished or incomplete condition.

Contractor will provide all necessary hardware to properly repaint, and repair damages caused due to installation.

Contractor shall install and mount 3 Vision or Bosh weather resistant external cameras outside of building 5483 and 2 Vision or Bosh internal cameras inside building 5483 in the location based on the design drawing attachment with the Milestone XProject Expert camera system to be located at the front desk.
