SORTA_ACS_Final_23JUN2026.pdf

This is an architectural and engineering design document for the Southern Ohio Regional Transit Authority (SORTA) Access Control System (ACS) upgrade project, detailing comprehensive site plans and technical drawings across multiple SORTA facilities in Ohio. The document serves as the final design specification dated June 23, 2026, and includes an extensive index of 57 drawing sets covering the Huntington Center (5th and 6th floors), Queensgate facility (site plan, transit office areas, parking bays across eight zones, and multi-level garage sections), Bond Hill location (ten designated areas), ACCESS areas (five zones), and three transit centers (Riverfront, Northside, and Glenway). The project encompasses the complete replacement of SORTA's existing electronic access control system with Genetec Security Center (version 5.12) compatible, networked controllers while reusing existing sensors and cabling where feasible, with comprehensive technical schedules provided across multiple drawing sets.

The project requires the selected contractor to conduct pre-testing of all existing access-controlled portals and inspect wiring terminations, documenting any failed equipment or substandard conditions in a detailed pre-testing report submitted for SORTA Project Manager approval before proceeding with replacements. Existing card readers at all facilities except Huntington Center will be replaced with new Genetec-compatible readers, while existing door controllers will be replaced with networked equivalents. Prior to equipment replacement, the security integrator must export the existing ACS database, prepare it for import into Security Center, and complete the migration process. The drawing sets include detailed specifications for transit office configurations, parking bay layouts across multiple areas and levels, and operational schedules necessary for coordinated system implementation across all SORTA facilities.
