Network Camera Replacement

West Basin Municipal Water District is seeking qualified vendors to support a security enhancement initiative for network camera replacement across its recycled water operations. The project involves replacing 29 aging security cameras at multiple remote facilities, including the Carson Recycling Facility, Edward C. Little Recycling Facility, Torrance Refinery, and Chevron Nitrification Facility, with an option for 16 additional cameras at District Headquarters. Camera replacements must meet or exceed 1080p resolution and be sourced from approved manufacturers such as Axis, Honeywell, Brivo, or Verkada. The proposal will be evaluated on a 100-point scale, with 30 points allocated to respondent qualifications, 25 points for technical approach and methodology, and 35 points for cost proposal. Key objectives include modernizing physical security, enhancing situational awareness, and maintaining integration with existing Milestone xProtect video monitoring systems. The proposal responses are due September 9, 2025, at 2:00 pm, with a pre-proposal conference and job walk scheduled for August 26, 2025. The recommendation for award is expected in the week of September 15, with a Board of Directors recommendation on September 22, 2025.

West Basin encourages participation from small and local businesses, offering potential additional points for Small Business Enterprise (SBE) or Local Business Enterprise (LBE) participants. The selected vendor must be prepared to configure cameras to existing infrastructure, maintaining the same IP addresses and ensuring compatibility with the district's current video management system. Insurance requirements include $2,000,000 in Commercial General Liability, $2,000,000 in Business Automobile Liability, and $1,000,000 in Workers' Compensation. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the project involves comprehensive security system upgrades across multiple facilities. The existing infrastructure requires integration with Milestone xProtect video monitoring systems, and vendors must demonstrate expertise in physical security upgrades and multi-site camera system implementations. Vendors will need to provide a detailed approach to replacing cameras while maintaining seamless operational continuity and adhering to the district's security and technical specifications.
