PROVIDE AND INSTALL MUSEUM SPECIFIC CCTV SURVIELLANCE SYSTEM

THIS IS A PROPOSED SOLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT NOTICE. Interested parties may respond to this notice by contacting Michael Fatale at 267-528-1421 prior to 04 October 2012. The National Park Service intends to issue a contract to Acuity-VCT for the procurement of a specialized museum specific IP analytic CCTV surveillance system and software for the Laboratory Complex and Glenmont Estate at Thomas Edison National Historical Park, West Orange, NJ. The system consists of approximately (3) network video recorder servers, 92 POE cameras and 36 speaker annunciators, and associated equipment, that are customized and programmed to be integrated into a unique analytic software system able to protect museum artifacts and objects and will detect motion and intrusion of the breach of a pre-defined area. Additionally it must be able to notify park staff of an intrusion via blackberry or other smart phone device, and also voice annunciate at the location of the breach. The museum specific analytic software is called "Adaptive Learning Technology." Below is a list of additional Thomas Edison National Historical Park specialized CCTV Surveillance requirements. a. Contractor must have prior experience in installing specialized museum specific IP analytic CCTV surveillance systems, preferably where historic fabric is a concern. In addition the contractor must have also installed specialized museum specific IP analytic CCTV surveillance systems in at least 5 museum facilities. b. The CCTV Surveillance system analytic software must be museum specific and use specialized algorithms to identify repetitive motion patterns to determine true motion from false events. Additionally the software must recognize certain repetitive motions, and without intervention of the operator, filter out the motion. The algorithms must be customizable by the contractor's software programmer within a short period of time 1 day maximum if the park has had an unidentified repetitive motion that needs to be corrected during installation, included as part of the fixed price contract. c. The contractor must provide the museum specific analytic software with an open server; hardware platform; open standards operating system, museum specific analytics software; and an unlimited use camera, user and analytics one time licenses fee. d. Contractor must provide and an install the museum specific analytic software and CCTV equipment. Additionally contractor must be able to provide and install all CCTV equipment and successfully integrate the software into a CCTV system. e. The museum specific analytic software must have the capability to grow to 100+ cameras without the need for additional servers or software licenses. f. Contractor must provide the analytic software and the specialized algorithms to identify repetitive motion patterns to determine true motion from false events. g. Camera installation must not distract from the historic appearance of the building or impact the historic architectural features. The need to minimize the visual impact of the cameras in period rooms and difficulties that may exist in running wires to specific locations and the restrictions with regard to working around historic furnishings will require a high degree of coordination and scheduling consideration The museum specific IP analytic CCTV surveillance system and software must provide the additional level of security for museum collections. The technology allows clients to use cameras and advanced software to define protection zones around anything in view of any surveillance camera. Customized camera views are provided to graphically show/review the motions zones and levels that have been identified by the software. These screens allow users to easily identify what triggered an alarm condition. Adaptive Learning Technology is a system that continually watches the entire collection, automatically alerting the staff of a potential security breech. The system uses surveillance cameras to place invisible protective barriers around anything we choose. When any barrier is breached, staff members are immediately notified so action can be taken. The system must perform as specified by filtering out certain reflections that caused false alarms as provided with no additional modifications or cost. The system must also have the capability to grow to 100+ cameras without purchasing additional servers or software licenses. Purchase and payments to the contractor for the resultant contract will be made via Government Credit Card. Accordingly, the clause 52.232-36 -- Payment by Third Party will be included in the resultant contract. The Government, therefore, intends to solicit, negotiate, and/or purchase this requirement on a sole source basis under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 as only one responsible source is available to provide this service. This notice of intent is not a request for proposals; however, any and all responses must be received within 15 days of this notice. Firms responding must submit qualifications and past performance information to demonstrate the ability to meet all requirements described above. A determination by the Government not to open this requirement to competition based on the responses received to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
