Security Video Monitoring Workstation

The Interurban Transit Partnership (ITP), also known as The Rapid, located in Grand Rapids, Michigan, is seeking proposals for a Security Video Monitoring Workstation project (Project #2025-11) to be installed in the Security office at Rapid Central Station. The procurement requires a contractor to design, manufacture, deliver, and install a comprehensive workstation with specific technical requirements, including up to two large wall-mounted monitors for surveillance cameras and up to five smaller monitors for various security functions. Key deliverables include an ergonomic workstation with cable management, two UPS units, and an optional heavy-duty task chair, with the capability to monitor up to 600 cameras. The project evaluation will prioritize responsiveness to ITP's requirements, quality and functionality of the proposed workstation, total proposed price, project schedule, and respondent qualifications. Critical procurement dates include a pre-proposal meeting on Tuesday, March 25, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. ET, with questions due by Monday, March 31, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. ET, and proposal submissions due on Tuesday, April 15, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. ET, with an anticipated award date on or before May 1, 2025.

The contract will be a Firm Fixed Price type and is partially funded by federal grants, which requires compliance with federal transit administration regulations. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the procurement will require strict adherence to federal guidelines. ITP will provide an existing Avigilon/Dell computer, keyboard, and mouse for the workstation, indicating some existing technological infrastructure. The project does not include software purchase and will require the contractor to work closely with ITP to establish security clearance for the installation team. Installation is expected during normal station hours of 0630-2200, with the walls containing OSB behind the drywall, which may impact mounting considerations. Although no specific budget range is disclosed, respondents must submit comprehensive proposals including cover letters, detailed schematics, brand and model numbers, past performance references, warranty information, and a detailed cost proposal breaking down prices for monitors, workstation, optional task chair, and delivery and installation costs.
