Video Security Camera Expansion at Various Intersections

The City of Wichita, located in Sedgwick County, Kansas, is soliciting bids for a comprehensive Video Security Camera Expansion project for the Wichita Police Department. The procurement seeks a contractor to provide and install a sophisticated surveillance system across approximately 120 intersections, with specific camera requirements including 4 Axis Q6135-LE 1080P PTZ domes, 3 Axis Q6300-E multi-directional cameras, 1 Axis P4705-PLVE dual-headed camera, and 116 Axis P3747-PLVE 5MP multi-directional cameras. Additional required equipment includes 120 steel enclosures, 120 Cradle Point S750 4G units, and 124 Genetec camera licenses. The project also involves installing a new 360TB Genetec server with ten 12TB hard drives at City Hall and adding ten 12TB drives to existing servers. A pre-bid conference is scheduled for January 8, 2026, at 10:00 a.m., with written questions due by January 9, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. Sealed electronic bids must be submitted through the City's procurement portal by 10:00 a.m. on January 16, 2026, with bid evaluation based on the lowest and best total net bid from a responsible and responsive vendor.

Bidders must meet specific qualifications, including at least three years of experience in similar services, understanding of industry standards, and experience with comparable-sized projects. The procurement requires a 5% bid bond with submission and mandates that the selected contractor provide a 100% performance bond and a labor and material payment bond equal to the total contract value. Insurance requirements include commercial general liability insurance with minimum limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 annual aggregate, comprehensive automobile liability coverage, and workers' compensation insurance. Respondents must be registered with the Kansas Secretary of State and have the capacity to obtain required bonds and insurance. The City of Wichita will be named as the primary and non-contributory additional insured on all policies. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the project suggests a significant investment in municipal security infrastructure. The contract term is indefinite, with either party able to cancel with thirty days' prior written notice, and the City reserving the right to terminate if adequate funding becomes unavailable.
