Installation of Building Cameras

The state and local contract opportunity is an Invitation to Bid (ITB #19-929) issued by Taylor School District in Wayne County, Michigan, focusing on the procurement and installation of a comprehensive digital surveillance system for Taylor High School. The project requires the installation of digital cameras with specific technical specifications, including 1080p resolution, IP66 and IK10 ratings, infrared capabilities, and 25 FPS recording. The procurement seeks a solution capable of supporting unlimited cameras with potential expansion to cover 15+ district buildings, utilizing either cloud-based or local Network Video Recorder (NVR) storage. Bids are due on June 19, 2019, at 10:15 A.M., with project work expected to commence in June 2019 and be completed by August 2019. Bidders must demonstrate substantial qualifications, including proof of Workers Compensation Insurance, General Liability Insurance of $1,000,000, and evidence of an existing relationship with the camera equipment manufacturer. Additional requirements include submitting a bid bond or certified check for 5% of the base bid and providing references for three similar projects completed within the past two years.

The contract opportunity includes preferential considerations for Taylor-based businesses, offering a bid credit ranging from 0-3% depending on the bid amount. Contractors must submit sworn and notarized statements disclosing any familial relationships with district employees or board members and certifying non-Iran Linked Business status. The Taylor School District reserves the right to award bids by individual location or in total, based on what serves the district's best interests. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the bidding process appears open to qualified contractors who can meet the technical and administrative requirements. The solicitation does not specify a precise budget range or award value, but the comprehensive nature of the surveillance system installation suggests a significant investment in district-wide security infrastructure. The project's scope indicates a potential multi-building, comprehensive digital security upgrade that will require sophisticated technical expertise and proven implementation capabilities.
