Request for Security Cameras Middle School & High School Cam

The Au Gres-Sims School District in Michigan is seeking proposals for a comprehensive security camera installation project targeting the middle and high school interior spaces. The Request for Proposals (RFP) specifically calls for an Avigilon IP CCTV system or equivalent, with precise technical requirements including installation of cameras cabled to MDF/IDF locations using Cat6 cabling and integrated with Power over Ethernet switches. The system must support motion detection, record at 7 FPS using H.264 compression, and maintain 30 days of video retention, with capabilities for up to 100 servers per site and 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 project work must be completed by June 30, 2018. Proposal evaluation will be based on several key criteria including cost, RFP requirement adherence, vendor experience, qualifications, timeliness, responsiveness, and overall team compatibility.

Bidders must provide a 5% bid bond of total capital costs and may be required to furnish performance and payment bonds covering 100% of capital costs. The selected contractor must offer a minimum 36-month warranty on all parts and labor from the installation date. The RFP does not explicitly mention set-aside designations for disadvantaged businesses or specific restrictions on respondent types. The proposed system must demonstrate technical sophistication, including support for multiple video layouts and integration with iOS and Android mobile devices. While no specific budget range is detailed in the document, the comprehensive technical requirements suggest a significant investment in security infrastructure. The project spans Huron County and Ann Arbor City jurisdictions within Michigan, indicating a localized but technically advanced security upgrade for the school district's facilities.
