Plcb regional offices door access control system

The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board (PLCB) is seeking a contractor to provide, install, and maintain door access control systems for three regional office locations in Plymouth Meeting, Harrisburg, and Pittsburgh. The project requires furnishing all necessary labor, materials, tools, software, equipment, and supervision to implement a comprehensive security solution. Specific requirements include installing proximity card readers at multiple exterior and interior doors, with a total of 17 readers across the three locations: 2 readers at Region 1, 8 readers at Region 2, and 7 readers at Region 3. The system must be compatible with PLCB's current proximity cards and utilize Lenel OnGuard 8.2 Software or an equivalent alternative. Mandatory site visits are scheduled for December 9-11, 2024, with bids due on January 7, 2025, at 1:00 PM ET through the PLCB's Oracle Supplier Portal. The contract term will be three years from the date of functional installation, including software support, maintenance, and manufacturer's warranty. Installation must be completed within one day at each location during normal business hours, with required contractor response times of 24 hours for the first 6 months and 1 business day thereafter for repairs.

The procurement includes several compliance requirements for potential bidders, including submission of a Russia Belarus Certification form (BOP-2401) and a Worker Protection and Investment Certification Form. Contractors must comply with Pennsylvania's Reciprocal Limitations Act, which provides preferences for Pennsylvania-based bidders. While the project is not subject to prevailing wage requirements, it is subject to Enhanced Minimum Wage requirements. The solicitation includes specific documentation requirements, such as completing the BOP-1206 Bid Form and providing ACH payment information within 10 days of contract award. Cloud-based solutions are explicitly not acceptable, and the PLCB will provide Power over Ethernet (PoE) switches, network ports, connectivity, bandwidth, and electric tie-in/conduit. Although a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the access control system installation across three regional offices suggests a significant investment in physical security infrastructure for the PLCB's regional facilities.
