Request for clarification #1

1. How will address the 1 button press lockdown if not putting access control on all doors?

The proposed solution shall support one-button lockdown functionality for all network-connected (“online”) access-controlled doors included in this project scope. Doors not included in this phase may continue utilizing existing physical lockdown hardware or approved wireless/offline solutions where applicable. 

Existing physical nightlocks or privacy-function hardware may remain in use on doors not included in this phase, subject to applicable code and life-safety requirements. 

1. Do you want to lockdown a district or school by school?

1. Is there an allowance for equipment that is failed ie: door strikes, cable?

Existing failed infrastructure identified during implementation that is outside the defined project scope will be evaluated and addressed separately by the district as funding permits. 

1. Are you only utilizing cards for credentials or do you have interest in fobs, mobile, etc?

Mobile credentials and fobs are desirable future capabilities but are not required for the base bid except for limited pilot users if proposed. 

1. Please provide IDF/MDF locations for cable runs and clarify you are providing switch ports?

MDF/IDF locations have been added to the requestable google share of photo documentation.

1. You mention wanting to monitor door status in RFP but you would need to have door contacts, rex’s etc on all doors but all are not accounted for. How you propose we meet that spec?

Bidders should propose standard door monitoring hardware necessary to meet the specifications where practical. If additional hardware requirements significantly increase per-door costs, bidders may provide alternate recommendations and clearly identify any omitted functionality in their proposal.
