73 -- SECURITY SYSTEM SERVICES SOL N66001-97-R-0900 POC Contracting Officer, Jim Conwell, (619)553-4500. REQUEST FOR INFORMATION INTEGRATED ELECTRONIC SECURITY SYSTEM: The Naval Command, Control and Ocean Surveillance Center Research, Development, Test & Evaluation Division (NRaD) seeks to identify companies with capabilities in the area of the design and implementation of fully distributed integrated electronic security systems (ESSs). These ESSs must utilize existing information systems networks to the maximum extent possible, provide the required protective functions, read from and write needed data to a Corporate Database and comply with Department of Defense (DoD) security regulations. As an installation, NRaD is composed of 500+ acres on the Point Loma peninsula in San Diego plus 70+ acres at the Old Town Campus (OTC) on the east side of Pacific Highway in San Diego, approximately 5 miles line-of-sight from the main site. The Point Loma Campus (PLC) holds more than 300 buildings spread over approximately 10 sites up to 2 miles apart. Fiber optic cabling connects most of these sites and the major buildings within each site. In many areas some dedicated fiber is currently available to devote to this security system control and monitoring. The OTC has four major buildings and four other structures that have various amounts of fiber optic cabling, twisted pair wiring, etc. to support security purposes. A secondary parking and equipment storage area, the West Parking Area (WPA), is located on the west side of Pacific Highway. Fiber optic cabling connects the WPA with the OTC for access control and CCTV. Connecting the OTC and the PLC are voice, data, and Switched 56 circuits via a Navy owned telecommunications network, similar commercial circuits, and a 10Mbps/sec RF link. At some point in the future an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) link will probably be established between the two main installation campuses. A Corporate Database in Oracle 7 hosted on Unix-based computer supplies most of the essential data which will be required by the ESS. The purpose of this notice is to inform companies of NRaD's intent of establishing a sourcing database for possible requirements in the near future. NRaD seeks to identify companies demonstrating the capability of designing and implementing an integrated ESS that will adhere to industry and DoD standards and meet the following goals: 1.1) a fully distributed, integrated, centrally controlled electronic security system; 1.2) Automated Functions Subsystem; 1.3) Video Management Subsystem with digital storage of video; 1.4) Closed Circuit Television Subsystem with ?? - ?? cameras; 1.5) Access Control Subsystem with 275 - 400 cardreaders; 1.6) Facility Graphics Subsystem receiving periodic updates of installation maps in AutoCad; 1.7) Communications Subsystem; 1.8) Security Alarm/Intrusion Detection Subsystem with 150-200 alarmed areas; 1.9) Central Control Room manageable by a single contract guard. Respondents should demonstrate expertise in the following Security Systems areas: 2.1) Standards Compliance - International, national, or industry standard operating systems and protocols must be used to ensure the maximum flexibility available for future upgrades and component additions. At a minimum, all data communications must be transmitted over command information systems networks on a shared basis using TCP/IP. It is desired that all video also be transmitted over these same networks on a shared basis. Additionally, compliance with Director, Central Intelligence Directive (DCID) 1/21 for protecting Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities is required on portions of the ESS. 2.2) System Design (1) True multi-tasking capability is required in a Centralized Control Room so that a single operator having to dispatch roving guards, monitor IDS subsystem for alarm conditions in numerous alarm zones, observe CCTV monitors as alarm conditions bring a picture up on the screen, display ACS data for indications of problems at turnstiles, gates, and doors and using intercom and/or Public Address as indicated to resolve issues can do so from a single console with a consistent, easy-to-learn graphical display. Control room operator must have a system override capability to allow authorized personnel into selective general areas inside the perimeter and selective general buildings. (2) A Data Management Subsystem will include: a) Distributed space access list management function. We expect that authorized space custodians will update space access control lists maintained on the Corporate Database. These changes will be reflected in the ESS through the same transfer mechanism as used for information on newly created badges; b) Voice recognition capability for control room dispatcher to dictate the contents of a watch log; c) Presentation of images and data on monitor triggered by alarm conditions or motion detection vice a constant display or a ''tour'' of images from each camera; d) A Calendar/Clock with automatic scheduling capability that will allow establishment of a holiday schedule based on both date-based holidays and day of the week/month holidays and also permit automatically including every other Friday as part of the overall weekend/holiday schedule. This master calendar will be used to control activation /deactivation of all subsystems and will control the time/date displayed on CCTV systems and appended to any stored files, data or images. (3) A redundant host computer configuration which automatically switches between hosts without any loss of functionality when a failure occurs. A warning must be displayed at the workstation upon loss of communications with any local processor (handshaking on a regular basis). An automatic reboot of distributed components must occur if not performing correctly and the operator must be notified of the occurrence. (4) The CCTV subsystem must consist of the following: a) It is desired that the CCTV subsystem be a completely digital system from cameras to display and storage unit(s). At a minimum the system will support selective cameras with digital signal processing and the storage of the video will be in digital form to permit easily extracting these images for reuse for other purposes; b) The CCTV subsystem must integrate either motion detection or other sensor technology such as thermal imaging or solid state raiders to provide the precise alarm sensing necessary to properly protect a waterfront environment with significant waves or surface ''chop''; c) CCTV motion detection must be configurable to permit customizing the alarm monitoring of each camera's output for specific hours of the day. (5) The video management subsystem must: a) Allow the Guard operator to have the option to dictate disk storage whenever he detects activity that might warrant evidentiary storage (during normal working hours periodic checks of each camera, for example); b) Operator must have the capability of conducting an automatic ''tour'' which presents the images being recorded by all cameras in order. The user should be capable of selecting the time that each camera will be visible during this tour; c) Provide alarm condition activation that will permit having monitors blank except when alarm or motion activated or when the operator wants to view a scene. Periods when motion detection is active will be configurable by camera at not longer than 30 minute intervals. d) Provide disk storage for up to four alarming cameras at one time, providing at least four (4) frames per second updating for each of the four (4) cameras or at least twenty (20) frames per second for only a single camera. System will automatically date and time stamp the video and index alarm conditions on the disk (or tape) for easier retrieval and review. JPEG, MJPEG, or MPEG-2 format preferred for storage but will consider other formats if performance or storage capacity is enhanced. System should support both capture and playback at these frame rates. System must also support a frame-by-frame playback of events to permit identification of best image frame and off-load onto other media or downloading to other computers. Total disk storage must support at least 30 minutes of alarm activity and operator-directed storage prior to overwriting. Preferably, the controlling software will permit the system administrator to vary the bit rate and resolution depending on the desired effect. (6) The Access Control Subsystem must support the following features: a) Ability to retrieve or receive updates on new badges from the Corporate Database within 15 seconds of issuance; b) Ability to group access areas into groups or zones as desired by space managers. However, authorizing an individual into several widely separate access portals (not in any logical or physical group) should not require any ''grouping'' of readers into coded groups. c) Compliance with the Department of Defense Security Equipment Integration Working Group (SEIWG) Specification 012 for magnetic stripe badge encoding. For badges produced at NRaD, a unique badge credential number will apply to each badge produced; d) Offer at least 10 default access categories so badges are automatically assigned access privileges based on the preassigned category; e) Support integration of mag-stripe on temporary badges produced on-site for automated access; f) Personal Identification Number (PIN) changeable in the field by each user; default PIN automatically provided; g) Antipassback and two-person control; h) Cardreaders with status lights for easier determination of problems; i) Max two second response (one second desired) from cardreader swipe to release of door lock or rejection of request; j) Time Zone and Day of Week control; k) Degraded mode for periods of no communications with local processors. The same review of the badge magnetic stripe will be conducted as when communications are restored; l) Two-volume local alarms for doors left open too long; m) PIN optional on a per door basis; n) Local panel tamper switches; o) Signaling protocols supported by NRaD routers and bridges (TCP/IP); p) Separate control of the portion of the system which controls SCIF doors; q) Local ACS processors store records on at least 20K permanent and temporary badges; r) ''Guard tour'' function supported; s) Supports traditional hardwired communications to intelligent local panels, Consumer Electronics Bus (CEBus) (preferred) or LONWorks (Echelon Corp) powerline signaling, and wireless RF communications, all on the same network; t) Capable of deactivating exterior motion sensors of automatic doors simultaneously with activation of ACS cardreader (auto door during working hours reverts to ACS controlled after-hours); u) Use a distributed intelligence concept where access requests are handled by local intelligent panels which either receive access lists directed from the NCDB or via the system host computer(s); v) Cardreaders must accept high coercivity magnetic stripe badges; w) Cardreaders must accept (without removal of the strap) swipes of badges sized 3 3/8 inches X 2 1/8 inches in vertical format with a slot strap centered at the top; x) Permit easily ''tracking'' use of a particular badge throughout the system for near instantaneous reporting of the location of a suspect individual; y) Permit variable open door times configurable individually; z) Support the assignment of two badges per person (a permanent badge and a temporary) with different badge numbers; 7) A Facility Graphics subsystem will provide: a) A graphical map of locations of ACS, CCTV and alarm components, to include sub-maps if necessary, to clearly display to monitoring personnel the location of each such item in a building or on the installation; b) Must be able to import an initial AutoCad graphical map and periodic updates which include new buildings. Updates should not require re-inputting the locations of IDS, CCTV and ACS subsystem sensors previously entered. (8) The Communications Subsystem must utilize the existing network infrastructure consisting of Fiber Optics, Ethernet and twisted pair. Features of the Communications Subsystem will include paging/intercom, Public Address, and a government-supplied radio base station. a) A two-way intercom will permit personnel encountering difficulty at selective ACS control points to converse with monitoring personnel; b) A Public Address system will provide a voice broadcast capability for evacuating selective buildings or directing intruders out of the waterfront security zone; c) The radio system will be supplied by NRaD but it must be integrated into the console and the communications over it must be tied to other stored event information. (9) The Security Alarm/Intrusion Detection Subsystem will: a) Monitor spaces which house classified material stored openly or other sensitive spaces. Spaces monitored by alarms may also have ACS cardreaders on the doors. Where both cardreaders and alarms are required, the Personnel Identification Number used for the ACS must also globally apply to any alarm zones. Mandatory use of a separate PIN is not acceptable. b) Automatically trigger CCTV cameras in the location of alarm conditions in IDS or ACS subsystems. c) Provide for the integration of video motion detection or portable radar units for the purpose of detecting boat intrusions into a waterfront security zone; d) Integrate duress buttons located in selective spaces; e) Provide for prioritized alarm display on the central console. 2.3) System Integration - Integrated system (not interfaced) is necessary to ensure that: (1) Alarm conditions in the IDS or ACS (door open too long, forced entry, tamper switch activation, invalid badge) subsystems or activating an intercom panel will automatically trigger applicable CCTV cameras to display what is occurring in the applicable area; (2) Intercom and radio communications will be automatically stored and indexed to other activity occurring in the system. This would permit review of an incident at an access point which included not only the date and time of an alarm condition at a cardreader but would also display the CCTV image of what happened; superimpose any intercom communications with the person at the cardreader; or radio communication to guards dispatched to the site. Hence, the complete sequence of events is preserved and available from one source. The ESS must be able to prioritize alarms for each subsystem as part of a master priority scheme. (3) All subsystems of the ESS will get required data real-time directly from the Corporate (Oracle 7) Database via SQLNet using standard ODBC drivers. Interested parties should submit a description of qualifications with respect to the foregoing. Responses of more than 10 pages of written text must include an executive summary of 5 pages or less. There is no page limit for brochures, publications, resumes and other attachments. Responses are required on or before 10/30/96. Mail responses to: NCCOSC RDTE DIV 035; Attn: Dorothy Heidelberger, Code 03501; 53570 Silvergate Ave., Rm 2223; San Diego, CA 92152-5260. Facsimile and telephone responses will not be accepted. This notice is to assist NRaD in determining the availability of systems meeting the above specification and the potential for competition. Request that potential offerors indicate whether they are a large, small, or small disadvantaged business. The Standard Industry Classification is 7382, $9.0 Million. No solicitation is currently available. (0268)
