Requirement Description

LCDO requires a comprehensive inventory of all doors, gates, and specialty access points across Davis Dam in Bullhead City, Arizona, Hoover Dam in Boulder City, Nevada and Parker Dam in Parker, California. This effort will support accurate planning and cost estimation for a full rekeying initiative, ensuring continued security and operational efficiency. The survey will provide:

• Documentation of door-opening deficiencies related to proper hardware installation and operation.

• Cataloging of all relevant details for each opening, including (but not limited to) photographs and cutsheets.

• Recording of existing lock types to support planned upgrades to the key system.

• A survey limited to documenting installed locking and latching devices, controlling hardware (such as closers and operators), and access-control components.

• The ability to produce a complete and actionable cost estimate for a rekeying request.

• Exclusion of documentation related to installed hardware dimensions and physical locations.

The contractor will perform onsite surveys, document hardware conditions, apply QR tags, and upload all data into Openings Studio™, integrated with SimpleK software. This requirement specifically excludes measurement of physical dimensions and precise hardware locations.

All survey and inventory data will be accessible through the Openings Studio desktop platform.

The software will interface with LCDO’s existing Assa Abloy SimpleK system, which is currently used for key issuance and management.
