Security Camera System for Lucero Library

The Pueblo City-County Library District (PCCLD) is soliciting proposals for a comprehensive security camera system at the Lucero Library in Pueblo, Colorado, through a Request for Proposal (RFP) focused on a Verkada camera platform solution. The procurement seeks a qualified vendor to provide recommendations, installation, wiring, and related services for a security camera system, with specific requirements including 5MP image resolution, 24/7 recording, people and vehicle analytics, and native integration with access control systems. Vendors must offer a minimum five-year licensing and support agreement with options for annual continuation and provide a 10-year hardware warranty. The RFP requires a mandatory pre-bid meeting and building tour on December 13th, 2024, at 1:00 pm, which is compulsory for vendors intending to submit a bid. Proposals are due by 3:00 pm on January 3rd, 2025, with an anticipated contract award date of January 24th, 2025. The evaluation criteria will focus on total cost, vendor qualifications, and the ability to effectively provide the required services, with the library reserving the right to select the proposal offering the best overall value.

The RFP does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. The project requires the selected vendor to work closely with PCCLD's IT Director to integrate the new camera system with existing networks, indicating potential technical compatibility requirements. The vendor will be responsible for all camera hardware, licensing, installation, mounting, and configuration. While a specific budget range is not disclosed, the comprehensive five-year service agreement will cover camera costs, installation, licensing, and a full-service website/cloud portal with live and historical views, including a minimum 30-day retention period. The system will be installed at the Lucero Library, which is currently undergoing significant renovation, and the vendor is encouraged to evaluate the building and suggest additional items beyond the provided placement schematic. Any recommendations outside the original diagram should be provided as an alternate cost proposal, with all camera upgrades and maintenance to be included in the five-year agreement cost.
