J -- MAINTENANCE OF SECURITY CONTROL SYSTEM WITH PROPRIETARY SOFTWARE POC Angela R. Bivens tel: (410) 965-4837 The Social Security Administration is seeking sources that can provide maintenance for the Security Control System (SCS) which is operated by proprietary software in Baltimore, Maryland. The primary function of the SCS is to monitor various building doors, access doors to Data Collection Panels and particularly sensitive areas to assure that the facility is not penetrated. The SCS consists of the facility that houses the equipment modules used to monitor sensors and control actions, the computer whose function is to (a) continuously monitor the status of the sensors located throughout the facility; (b) automatically record any changes in their status and alert the Emergency Control Center (ECC) to those changes; (c) record all actions taken by the ECC staff at the Computer Controlled Monitoring System operator's console; (d) control access to the protected zones in the facility by validating the identification codes on magnetic cards and the password entered at key sets at each entry point; (e) record all entries and exits to the protected zones; (f) initiate the Closed Circut Television (CCTV) video cameras and recording system in response to events detected through the sensor system; (g) alert the ECC staff to unauthorized attempts to enter a protected zone with security sensors; (h) release the turnstile gates at each entrance point to protect zones to authorized individuals; and (i) under emergency conditions (usually generated by activation of a manual-pull fire alarm, or multiple independent smoke detectors being activated) to activate the deluge system, activate the prerecorded evacuation message, and to release door locks for evacuation of the building; the card access control subsystem; the fire/safety subsystem; the intrusion subsystem; and the CCTV monitoring subsystem. Thorn Automated Systems, Inc. installed and integrated the initial components into a complete system with many unique hardware modifications.
