About this file

This is a Request for Proposal (RFP) specifications document for Oxford Community Schools regarding a mobile panic button and duress alarm system with design-build requirements issued on August 7, 2019. The project seeks a wireless system capable of precision location tracking of activated duress alarms with bi-directional portable personal alarm transmitters (PPATs) that provide audible, visible, or tactile feedback. The system must integrate with PrePlanLive Emergency Preparedness and Critical Incident Management Application, operate via a self-sustaining hybrid mesh network utilizing both Radio Frequency (RF) and Ultrasonic technology, and function independently without reliance on WiFi or Bluetooth. The system must include self-monitoring capabilities with low battery and tamper alarm reporting, support expansion with additional hardware such as strobe lamps, LED displays, and motion detection, and display alarm locations on custom floor plans at the control station. Oxford Community Schools anticipates requiring approximately 200 transmitter units for staff and visitor use.

The evaluation criteria for selection encompasses comprehensive analysis of system technology types, locating accuracy within specified distances, response time from device activation to control panel notification, system reliability and expandability, maintenance and testing requirements and frequency, total system cost, operational capability within and outside concrete, masonry, and steel structures as well as designated exterior areas, proprietary versus compatible component functionality, electrical and space requirements, tamper-resistant security features, control and monitoring center capabilities including user interface and alarm features, system reporting and incident logging capabilities, personal transmitter features and sizing, and transmitter usage and assignment protocols for operational implementation.

Criteria-based Selection Summary Price Data aggregation Features Service Utility Duress system

The analysis shall include, but not be limited to:

1. Analysis of radio frequency (RF) type, infrared (IR) type and other type of systems that utilize both or other technologies or a combination of several.

2. Locating accuracy of the system: specifically, the ability to identify a person within “x” number of feet anywhere within the proposed coverage areas.

3. Response time, from activation of a personal alarm device to notification at the control panel.

4. Reliability of the system.

5. Expandability of the system.

6. Maintenance requirements.

7. Testing requirements and frequency of tests.

8. Cost of the entire system.

9. Operating environment, ability to operate within and outside of concrete, masonry and steel structures to include client designated exterior areas.

10. Whether system is proprietary type system or can function with other manufacturers’ components.

11. Electric power requirements.

12. System component space requirements, mounting/attachment requirements, location requirements, etc.

13. System component security features (i.e., tamper resistant).

14. Control/monitoring center features per client needs including but not limited to:

a. User interface method.

b. Alarms, audible and visual.

c. Space requirements.

d. Electric power requirements.

15. System reporting capabilities. (incident logs, transmitter assignments, etc.)

16. Personal transmitters, features and size.

17. Personal transmitters usage plan, number units required. (i.e., assignment to personnel at start of shift or permanent assignment to personnel). The client predicts that 200 transmitters will be needed for staff and visitors.
