Request for Security Camera Installation Interior & Parking

The Au Gres-Sims School District is seeking proposals for a comprehensive security camera installation project covering campus interior spaces and main parking lots. The Request for Proposals (RFP) requires the installation of an Avigilon IP CCTV system or equivalent, with all cameras to be connected via Cat6 cabling to Power over Ethernet switches. Specific technical requirements include dual video streams, H.264 compression, 7 FPS recording rate, motion detection, and a minimum 30-day video retention period. Bidders must provide detailed camera location maps with minimized blind spots and demonstrate manufacturer certification with over 5 years of relevant experience. The system must support mobile integration (iOS and Android), accommodate up to 100 servers per site, and handle 128 cameras per server. Sealed bid proposals are due on February 14, 2018, at 3:00 PM, with a public bid opening at 4:00 PM the same day. A mandatory pre-bid walkthrough is scheduled for February 7, 2018, at 2:00 PM, and all work must be completed by June 30, 2018.

The RFP requires a 5% bid bond, with potential 100% performance and payment bonds contingent on legal requirements. Contractors must provide a three-year comprehensive warranty covering parts, labor, and software updates. While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are mentioned, the project will require compliance with Michigan Public Act 306 and necessitate state permits and inspections. The proposal calls for an all-inclusive pricing model with no additional installation or operational charges. Although a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive technical specifications and required system capabilities suggest a substantial investment in campus security infrastructure. The successful vendor must be prepared to deliver a fully integrated, state-of-the-art security camera system that meets the district's comprehensive surveillance and monitoring needs.
