Specifications include, but are not limited to: To address the security risks and vulnerabilities that exist at Vanguard Academy. The primary focus of this project will be on access control and monitoring who is opening doors while preventing those who shouldn’t from gaining physical access. It is also important that this system assists with minimizing active physical security threats by preventing intruders from entering the building and classrooms. The goals of this project include: ● Wired or wireless access control readers shall be installed on all designated entrances, classrooms, and administrative doors on the Vanguard campus. Enough access hardware for at least 105 doors shall be provided. ● Panic buttons shall be provided in all designated classrooms and offices. When triggered, designated administrators shall be notified of the trigger and its location. Some must be wearable and some installed in classrooms and offices. Enough hardware for at least 60 installed and 60 wearable buttons shall be provided. ● Buzz-in buttons shall be provided on all designated entrance doors that allow a visitor to push and request for entry. ● The system shall be able to remotely unlock designated doors such as entrances. ● Visitor management support shall be offered, easily allowing temporary access to specified locations. ● Access control software shall be made available onsite as well as remotely to assist in managing the following features: ○ Store a backlog of users who are opening specified doors. ○ Identify which doors are being propped open with the ability of auto-triggering an alarm if one is open too long or open past a specific time window. ○ Manage user and group access with specified key cards/tokens and days/hours of available access. ○ Support for temporary visitor access and tracking which doors visitors can access. Such support could also include a trackable ID badge. ● Training support for all staff and administrators on the proper use and maintenance of the access control system. To reach these goals, Vanguard Academy is now accepting bids in response to this Request for Proposal.
