The Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget is soliciting bids for a video management system upgrade involving Genetec Phase 2 cameras at the Women's Huron Valley Correctional Facility in Ypsilanti, under project 472/24059.SAA, with bids due July 15, 2026, at 2:00 PM ET. The Genetec Integrator Scope contractor must be a Genetec certified channel partner — a mandatory capability filter. An information sheet on Service Disabled Veteran Owned Business (SDVOB) eligibility is attached; the source does not specify whether this represents a set-aside or preference.

The scope spans installation of new Genetec Phase 2 cameras (including 4K pan-tilt-zoom, 360-degree fisheye, 8-megapixel dome, and multi-head units) throughout multiple buildings; removal and replacement of existing cameras; new camera cabling with fire-rated pass-throughs and CAT-6 termination; removal of existing microphone systems; Genetec camera licenses through July 31, 2029; electrical infrastructure including a large UPS system and new power cabling in the West Administration building; new exterior and perimeter camera poles; underground boring, trenching, and hydrovac work with ground-penetrating radar; mechanical HVAC installation in the West Admin communications room; and complete software configuration and documentation. Work is performed at the facility located at 3201 Bemis Road, Ypsilanti, Michigan. The contract requires compliance with Michigan's asbestos-abatement regulations (PA 59 of 2024) and prevailing wage requirements. The contract time has been extended to 600 days from Notice to Proceed. Four-hour working days are approved, with special hours required for the food service building.

The pricing structure includes a base bid with line items for cameras and cabling, Genetec Integrator Scope equipment and labor, general conditions, electrical work, AC system work, mobilization, bonds, warranty, and as-builts. Three contingency allowances total $700,000 (general, hydrovac, and asbestos remediation). A Schedule of Change Order Prices for 14 camera types with associated licenses allows the owner to add installations at predetermined unit prices. Bid security of 5% is required, with performance and payment bonds mandatory for bids exceeding $50,000.
