- Description
- Access System This is an urgent requirement. During a security stand down 60 days ago the commander realized he could not provide positive control over his staff personnel and equipment. One of the commander's core requirements is to protect his personnel and equipment. The commander directed his staff to research and have installed an automated access control system for the Brigade staff work and storage area. The system must be fully operational prior to the end of the current FY. The S2 and S6 began the process by looking for a suitable system that would satisfy the core commander's requirements. The S2 found a card access system that would impede access to unauthorized individuals while also providing first responders with unfettered access to the Brigade area. The process to obtain the Access Control System was started on or about 30 May 11. It took about two weeks to find a vendor that was able to address and fill our requirements. We spoke to the Department of Public Works (DPW) concerning this requirement and they in turn sent us to the building manager. After speaking with him he informed us that he would approve the installation of the Access Control System. We went back to DPW and submitted the work order for the Access Control System. By this time a month had passed and we still had not received approval to start the process. DPW conducted one of their engineering boards and our request was placed on their docket for work to be completed this FY. DPW disapproved the request stating that it had passed the deadline for new requirements. The commander called DPW and asked them to re-consider the request. The DPW Deputy Director asked his staff to re-look at the requirement and see if it could be done. DPW's engineering took a closer look at the requirement and came to the conclusion that this has to be a unit funded and worked project. DPW's only involvement in the process was to give us authorization to install the device on the building. DPW informed us that we would have to process this request ourselves through the installation MICC. The S6 submitted the PR on 1 Jul 11 for routing and approvals. When the requirement was initially identified the MICC could have processed this in a timely manner. Due to the uniqueness of the requirement and the different organizational processes we were not able to find the correct process in time. If this issue arises again we now know the process and DPW has issued us guidance on what they can and cannot do for the organization.
