Murphy Memorial Hospital, 7400 Merton Minter Blvd., San Antonio, TX, 78229. STVHCS needs to repair the existing four pedestrian gates locking mechanisms and replace two existing card readers. This will facilitate the proper function and compatibility with CCURE 9000 and meet requirements for properly securing the gates after hours. The current state of the pedestrian gates allows 24/7 access, creating a vulnerable environment to patients and staff after hours. Objectives The purpose of this emergency project is addressing the four pedestrian gates that provide access to the ALM campus. The gates currently will not secure properly by means of electronic hardware currently installed. Fence upgrades and foundation issues have caused the locking mechanisms to not work properly or completely fail when engaged. This update will also address card readers at gates where the current reader does not meet HSPD 12/FIPS 201 compliance. These updates will also mitigate the immediate impact on patient care, staff safety and reduce the vulnerability of critical infrastructure to theft, destruction or vandalism.
