Stoner Avenue Shreveport, LA 71101 A. General Information A 1.0 Project Background, Description and Scope of Work Overton Brooks VAMC has a requirement to design the upgrades for campus security based on requirements identified in the Physical Security Design Manual for VA Mission Critical Facilities, January 2015 (PSDM). Design team shall investigate and propose options in accordance with ALL references found in the VA s Technical Library, paying particular attention to Space Planning criteria and the Physical Security Design Manual for VA Mission Critical Facilities, January 2015 (PSDM). Deficiencies from the comprehensive Physical Security Design Facility Survey (Copyright 2018) included in the design are: 1. Design a new modern energy efficient Security Control Center (SCC), Police Operations and Holding Room to meet the standards of the PSDM. This includes ballistic and forced entry resistive measures. There is approximately 2,900 SF in the basement of Bldg. # 1 (Main Hospital) for renovation to accommodate these functions. A secondary SCC shall be established for continuity of operations. Security equipment will be mounted or installed in a security console clearly labeled for easy identification of function. 2. A new guard station will be established in the Emergency Department capable of screening patients, visitors, and packages. The guard station will have direct connection with the SCC. Duress alarms at the receptionist will be provided. 3. The project will be designed to improve Video Assessment and Surveillance Systems (VASS) by assessing existing cameras for effective operational/surveillance conditions and technical currency. The Physical Access Control Systems will be updated with new card readers and where possible utilizing existing cable, cable paths, stub outs and other elements of the existing system. 4. The project will include updating and adding Duress, Security Phones and Intercom Systems (DSPI) emergency call boxes throughout all parking areas (approx. 14+/-). The security intercom will also be upgraded with the most current technology. 5. Additional security measures will be added where applicable. These include sensors, magnetic switches, contacts and other intrusion detection devices. Existing elevator call buttons will be modified to support increased security for access control to restricted areas where applicable (approx. 14 locations +/-) The overall concept is to centralize all campus security systems into one secure location (SCC) utilizing WIRELESS SYSTEMS for duress/panic alarms to the greatest extent possible. Evaluate and add/delete/replace as necessary all cameras. Replace all card reader devices/controls and route to the new SCC, as necessary. Build a stand-alone campus wide camera/card reader security system on a hardened stand-alone network. Incorporate existing monitoring systems into the new security system and add an Emergency Call System matching the ones in the Parking Garage Bldg. #60. Construct a fully redundant Secondary Security Control Center (SSCC) with electronic security systems and consoles (PSIM) to support situational awareness equal to the SCC. This facility must meet PSDM requirements (e.g. blast hardening, electronic security system ESS) implementation, and redundant communication paths. The new facility will integrate all electronic security system components into the security command center s (SCC) situational awareness platform (e.g. Physical Security Information Management system (PSIM) to support situational awareness. Install communications infrastructure, monitoring hardware, and software applications to meet PSDM requirements. This includes intrusion detection systems, VASS systems, access control systems DSIP systems remote access systems etc. Upgrade the ESS Physical security Information system (PSIM) to provide status of ESS components. The design shall provide for a new emergency generator and uninterrupted power for the SCC and Secondary SCC. The new facility design shall consider an option for a movable modular wall system such as, DIRTTS, for the administrative areas for ease of future reconfiguration of the administrative space. The design team shall perform a comprehensive campus investigation of the existing security systems and facilities. The design team shall attain a complete understanding of the security and law enforcement functions and provide a space allocation and interrelationship /adjacency design. Design to meet LEED Silver requirements. The design shall lay out a phasing plan to get the new facility operational, while keeping the existing systems and networks operational. The new facility and networks need to be in place, and ready to be cut over before the existing networks/systems can be taken down. The cutover time from the old system to the new system shall be minimized as much as possible. This contract will provide for complete design (construction documents) and construction period services (CPS). PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE The delivery date for this contract shall be 270 days from Notice to Proceed. Performance time to include VA review of each submission as identified.
