Library Book Detection System

The University of Houston-Downtown (UHD) is seeking proposals from interested bidders to install a new book detection system at the W.I. Dykes Library. The contract opportunity is open to vendors in the jurisdictions of Harris County and the City of Houston, Texas. The scope of work includes the installation of five security gate aisles, two on the 4th floor and three on the 5th floor of the One Main Building. The system must be able to detect Tattle Tape Security Strips. Bidders are required to provide detailed pricing for all system components and services, including site survey, system installation and testing, one-year software license, and one-year warranty. A mandatory pre-proposal site visit is scheduled for October 24, 2023, and proposals are due by November 7, 2023 at 3:00 PM CST. The expected contract term is one year with no renewal options.

While no HUB subcontracting plan is required, the University will make a good faith effort to use Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUBs) in the contract. The University reserves the right to make a split award, multiple awards, or no award at all based on the evaluation criteria outlined in the RFP. The contract does not provide details on set-asides, incumbent contractors, funding sources, or other financial information. The total budget range or award value is not specified in the provided documents.
