About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document for the TEC Dorm Lock Replacement contract opportunity. The document does not contain response dates, award dates, pricing terms, set asides, or federal agency information; it serves solely to clarify technical requirements and existing conditions for the lock replacement project.
The project involves replacing a Dormakaba Saflok MT Mag card access system with new mortise locks featuring integrated credential readers. All interior doors and one exterior door will receive 1-for-1 lock replacements with adapter/trim plates. Ingress/egress doors equipped with crash bars will use exterior card readers, and the contractor must retain existing crashbars where compatible with the new system. Of 10 doors currently equipped with ADA-compliant door openers, only four require retention of door opener integration, including new door controllers and power supplies; the remaining six require only new lock hardware. The system is card-access only with no key cylinders, and contractors must provide a portable hardware interface to manually actuate locks in case of battery failure or system malfunction. No FIPS-201 compliance or key override is required. The contractor is responsible for disposing of all existing hardware. Interior lock quantities and specific technical characteristics are detailed in the PWS Technical Exhibit 2. The current system operates wirelessly and offline, except for the four ADA-integrated doors which are hardwired. Campus-wide commercial internet connectivity via fiber, managed switches, Cat6 copper, and WiFi access points is available throughout the buildings. The government will provide storage and adequate work space for lock preparation prior to installation.

TEC Dorm Lock Replacement Questions and Answers What locking system is currently in place?
Answer: Dormakaba Saflok MT Mag
Are the door and frames metal or wood?
Answer: Doors are a mixture of wood and metal/glass. All door frames are metal.
What are the salient characteristics of the locks?
Answer: All interior doors and one exterior door that have the current system installed will receive new mortise locks with integrated credential readers. All ingress/egress doors are equipped with crash bars and use a card reader on the door exterior. 10 doors are equipped with ADA-compliant door openers with two credential readers, one to unlock the door and one to activate the door opener; only four of these need to retain the door opener integration for ADA compliance, including door controllers and power supplies to integrate the new locks. The remaining six doors only require new hardware for the door lock/credential reader. If the new lock system hardware can be adapted to the existing crashbar on a given ingress/egress door, the existing crashbar shall be retained. Specific characteristics required are listed in the PWS Technical Exhibit 2.
What are to be done with the old locks?
Answer: The contractor will dispose of all old hardware. The PWS will be amended to include this requirement.
Will the existing cylinders/cores be reused, or is the contractor expected to provide new cylinders and/or cores?
Answer: There are no key cylinders installed, this system is card access only. The new system must provide a portable hardware interface that can open the door lock in the event a battery dies or the lock otherwise fails to operate when the credential is applied.
Are all existing openings currently equipped with locks require preparations, or should contractors anticipate door modifications beyond the installation of the specified trim plates?
Answer: All interior locks should be 1-for-1 swaps with associated adapter/trim plates.
Most ingress/egress doors will accept new locks with associated adapter/trip plates.
Exceptions would be locations where the existing crashbar will not integrate with the new system and must be replaced (potentially requiring modification for the new crashbar and lock hardware), and the four doors that require ADA opener integration (see the answer to Question # 6 above).
Is there a lay-down area for new locks and programming available?
Answer: The government will provide storage for pending hardware and adequate work space for installers to prep items before installation.
How many locks are needed?
Answer: Contained in the PWS Technical Exhibit 2.
What is the name and model of the existing locks?
Answer: Dormakaba Saflok MT Mag
Do the readers need to be FIPS-201 compliant?
Answer: No. The lock system will never touch any secure government network, and the dormitories do not constitute a classified or sensitive information area.
Will a key override be required for each access door?
Answer: No. The new system must provide a portable hardware interface to actuate the door lock in the event it does not respond to a credential or otherwise fails.
If a key override is required, will the keys need to be keyed alike?
Answer: Not applicable
If a key override is required, what brand of cylinder would be required?
Answer: Not applicable
Is there a requirement for wireless vs hardwired locks for each door?
Answer: The current system is completely wireless and offline, except for the ingress/egress doors that are integrated with ADA openers. Those doors are hardwired to facilitate that integration. The requirement in the PWS addresses this situation by calling out hardware and associated wiring to facilitate ADA opener integration on four ingress/egress doors. Refer to the answer to question #6 for more detail on the ADA doors.
Is there internet or network connection for each building?
Answer: Yes, we have campus-wide commercial internet. The network is distributed via fiber to managed switches that service various buildings. From the switches in the comm closets it breaks out via Cat6 copper to access points installed throughout each building/floor, which then broadcast WiFi.
