What this contract is for

Agency: Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority - Safety
Location: Cincinnati, OH
Scope: State & Local

The Access Control System (ACS) requirements for this project shall provide for a complete update of the existing SORTA electronic access control system and migration of the existing ACS into SORTA’s existing Genetec Security Center (version 5.12) unified electronic security management system. Existing sensors and cabling shall be re-used to the greatest extent possible. Existing door controllers shall be replaced with Genetec compatible, networked controllers. Existing card readers, except for readers at the Huntington Center facility, shall be replaced with new readers. The contractor/integrator shall pre-test each existing access controlled portal and inspect wiring terminations at the devise and at the headend. The contractor shall document any failed equipment or sub-standard wire/terminations. The results of the pre-testing shall be assembled in to a pre-testing report, with repair/replacement recommendations, and submitted to the SORTA Project Manager or the SORTA Project Manager’s representative. Upon written acceptance of the pre-testing report, the security systems contractor/integrator shall replace the existing door controllers and card readers. Defective devices and cabling identified in the contractor’s/integrator’s pre-testing report shall be replaced as approved by the SORTA Project Manager or SORTA Project Manager’s representative. During the migration of the ACS equipment, but prior to the replacement of the controllers/nodes, the security integrator shall export the existing ACS database, prepare the database as necessary for import into Security Center and complete the database import into Security Center.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
This listing has no set-aside restriction ("full and open competition"), meaning any business, large or small, can bid.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
