Description of the supplies or services required, the estimated price/cost, and required delivery date.

A reliable, state of the art security system that directly supports CSG- Carrier Strike Groups, Amphibious Ready Groups, and independent deplorers for global competition against peer competitors is essential to provide a safe and secure working environment for personnel, equipment and mission.

The project is mission critical, as it would supply the command with a 24-hour battery backup of security systems and access, allowing command personnel to access Building N23 during extended power outages. In case of catastrophic events, it would allow the command to exercise its Continuity of Operations Plan, allowing the command to gain access to assets and other materials in view of having to relocate operations to an alternate location.

This project will provide batteries sized for approximately 24-hour back-up support. Convergint Federal will be responsible for purchasing equipment, installing batteries and hiring an electrician to install the power to support the batteries. In addition, a key override will allow entry to the building should the power and batteries fail. Equipment will consist of 12V 38 Ah General Purpose VRLA batteries, shelves, wiring, and ES450 Series Key Switch Control with DPDT and keys. The cost of this project will be $21,969.25. The required completion date is as soon as possible, but not later than 31 December 2024.

If the project timeline is not met, the during a catastrophic event will not be achieved in FY24 or likely FY25, which will result in a detriment to mission accomplishment of training Navy Carrier Strike Groups and Amphibious Readiness Groups for battle. Alternatively, completing the project will directly support continuation of operations in view of a catastrophic event resulting in loss of power, relocation, etc.

The services provided must be compatible in all aspects design, form, fit, and function as those presently performed in the Navy by Convergint Federal. Convergint Federal was responsible for initial design and installation of the current LENEL security system and UPS and is very familiar with the installation and its equipment and capabilities. Leadership reviewed prior services completed by Convergint Federal at the command and knows that Convergint Federal is the right organization to begin and perform this work. Quite requirement.

Convergint Federal has extensive knowledge of the building, has Navy facilities enhancement expertise that is not available elsewhere in the marketplace, and is incredibly responsive. Further, the unique skills sets of those designing and working the projects is second-to-none.
