Public Safety Surveillance Camera Expansion Bid

The City of Owosso, located in Shiawassee County, Michigan, is seeking bids for a Public Safety Surveillance Camera Expansion project targeting comprehensive security infrastructure upgrades for its police and fire departments. The procurement is structured as an "All or None" bid requiring contractors to install and configure fourteen (14) IP-based security cameras across multiple interior and exterior locations, including the Evidence Room, Mechanical Room, Fire Department spaces, Interview Room, and Police Cruiser Parking Lot. Specific technical requirements include integrating with the existing UNV-NVR 308-64 network video recorder system, adding 8 TB of storage, and installing varied camera types such as dome-style interior cameras, high-resolution mini-dome cameras with onboard analytics, and outdoor bullet-style cameras with infrared capabilities. Bids will be accepted until 3:00 p.m. on September 2, 2025, with a project timeline targeting commencement on September 8, 2025, and completion by November 30, 2025. Additional deliverables include a 75-inch wall-mounted television in the squad room connected to a city-provided PC running Guard Station 3.0 software.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must submit comprehensive documentation including a W-9 form and insurance certificates, demonstrating compliance with federal and state regulations. The project requires integration with the city's existing UNV-NVR 308-64 network video recorder system, indicating potential constraints for vendors unfamiliar with this specific technological infrastructure. While no specific budget range is disclosed in the available documentation, the comprehensive nature of the surveillance system expansion suggests a significant investment in public safety technology. Prospective vendors should be prepared to provide detailed technical specifications, demonstrate compatibility with existing systems, and show expertise in security camera installation across diverse environmental contexts including interior institutional spaces and exterior perimeter locations.
