Statement of Work (SOW)

Design, Furnish, and Install a Complete Security and Access Control System for the National Weather Service’s (NWS) National Hurricane Center (NHC) and Weather Forecast Office

(WFO) located in Maimi, FL

A. Description and General Requirements:

NHC: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ and WFO: http://www.srh.noaa.gov/mfl/index.php

Existing Conditions: The NHC/WFO currently employees a central access control system using Hirsch Identive components, and Doorking gate operators. Workstation system software uses Windows XP, and Velocity 3.0. All installed components are original equipment when the facility was constructed in 1994, and are obsolete or failing. Much of the installed control wiring has many splices due to extensive troubleshooting and repair of failed components. The system uses obsolete proximity cards for security gate and door access. This project will allow for the use of Federal Common Access Cards (CAC) for gate and facility entry. This project will replace with new all existing computer and component hardware, gate operators, and control wiring. Electrical conduit is usable and accessable for the purpose of rewiring.

1. The NWS is soliciting interested and qualified private and commercial vendors to submit quotes for entering into an agreement for the purposes of designing, furnishing, and installing a complete security and access control system for the Miami NHC/WFO. The contractor shall provide all labor, tools, equipment, hardware and consumables to furnish and install a fully integrated and functional system.

2. The NWS expects a “turnkey” solution for this project. The awarded contractor shall design, furnish, engineer, fabricate, install, and test a complete and operational security and access control system, including all head end controlling equipment, hardware for four existing sets of doors, hardware for three additional computer room doors, replacement of six existing barrier gates, and the control rewiring of all equipment.

Provide a badging kit for the purpose of issuing temporary badges on site. All materials and equipment shall be new and unused.
