Quote Solicitation Project 2026-003: Camera System Date 7/2/2025

Scope of Work South Shore Charter Public School (SSCPS) requests bids to enhance our security camera solution at our 700 Longwater Drive building (700L). The enhancements can be bid under two options:

● Supplement Option: This option involves any bid that maintains our existing systems and adds the necessary cameras, storage, and related installation and configuration costs.

● Consolidation Option: This option involves any bid that combines our existing systems into one system. This option would include switching all existing cameras to one system we already use or replacing it with a new system.

Each bidder may submit one bid for each option. SSCPS prefers to have one camera system throughout the building, the Consolidation Option.

SSCPS also prefers to keep as many existing cameras as possible since all new cameras could be cost-prohibitive. Doing this could be under either or both options.

Our existing 3 systems are outlined below. Attached are also floor plans detailing the locations & directions of existing cameras and new cameras that will be part of both options. Some existing cameras will be moved, as detailed below and on the floor plans.

An additional circumstance is that our 700L building will be under construction in multiple phases.

● Phase 1: Rooms circled in purple on the floor plan; expected completion in October 2025.

● Phase 2: Rooms circled in green on the floor plan; expected completion in January 2026.

These areas are noted on the floor plans. The exact completion dates for each phase are not finalized. The backend system needs to be operational by 8/22/2025. Camera installation can only happen once the phase of construction is completed.

During construction, network cabling will be run to the locations detailed on the floor plans. Bids should not include any costs related to network cabling.

Current Solutions Our primary system consists of 21 Axis cameras connected to a ZoneMinder server (https://zoneminder.com/).

We also have 3 Verkada cameras internally. These are not among the moved or new cameras.

Both Axis and Verkada cameras use the same PoE switches on a separate network.

We also have 12 cameras on a Speco Technologies system. The current system supports 16 cameras. Ten (10) of these cameras are external. The 2 internal cameras overlap with Axis camera moves on the first floor. These cameras can be reused under either bid option; please specify if this is part of either bid.

All systems keep approximately 14 days of footage.

Solution Requirements Under each of the bid options, the following would need to be addressed:

● 1st floor has 13 camera relocations, circled in yellow on the floor plan.

● 1st floor has 19 new cameras, circled in green on the first floor.

● 2nd floor has 27 new cameras.

● 2nd floor does not have any camera relocations.

Please review the floor plans for additional clarification.

Submitted bids should include any cameras, PoE switches (if required), materials, labor, etc. It should also cover all licensing, installation, setup, configuration, etc. For bids under Consolidation Option, costs should include the proposed new camera system or specify which system is being used. All licensing, installation, setup, configuration, etc. for that system should also be included.

Other Requirements Contractors must pay prevailing wages. Contractors must remove any debris resulting from the project. All work by contractors and/or subcontractors must be done in a workmanlike manner.

General hours of operation are Monday-Friday, 6:30 am to 3:00 pm. Working outside those hours must be specifically scheduled in advance.

Dates of installation are to be determined.
