City Security and Access Controls Upgrade

The City of Pasadena is seeking a qualified vendor to perform a comprehensive Security and Access Controls Upgrade for its Information Technology Department. The project involves replacing outdated security systems with a new Genetec Enterprise technology infrastructure, specifically including access control for 11 doors, video surveillance for 21 cameras, and an intercom system for 4 doors. Bidders must possess specific Genetec certifications, including Omni-Cast SC-OTC-001-5.10 and Synergis Technical Certification SC-STC-001-5.10, and must be registered with the California Department of Industrial Relations. The bid response is due by 2:00 pm on May 15, 2023, with a non-mandatory pre-bid meeting scheduled for April 25, 2023. The project has a 90-calendar day completion timeline from contract signing, and vendors will be evaluated based on the lowest Grand Total Price, with comprehensive proposals required that include line items for equipment, labor, and licensing across access control, camera, and intercom systems.

The procurement appears open to all qualified contractors, with an emphasis on local economic participation. While no specific set-aside designations are explicitly stated, the city demonstrates a preference for hiring Pasadena residents and supporting local businesses. The current system utilizes outdated Honeywell security technologies that will be completely replaced and migrated to the new Genetec Enterprise system. Contractors will need to integrate new readers, interface boards, licensing, and programming components while ensuring compatibility with existing city infrastructure. Although a specific budget range is not disclosed, the project involves comprehensive system replacement across multiple technological domains. Bidders must complete various city-specific forms, including a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) form, Relevant Experience Form, and comply with local regulations such as the Living Wage Ordinance. Additional requirements include providing documentation of relevant experience with similar governmental projects and maintaining appropriate insurance and bonding.
