1 Nash Rocky Mount Schools Specifications for; Upgrades and Additions to Existing Door Access Control System Phase 3 Access Control System Section Page 1

2 Nash Rocky Mount Schools is seeking bids to install the following; 1. Installation of additional door access equipment for doors at facilities with existing door access systems already installed. Nash Rocky Mount Schools has a district wide Sielox/Pinnacle door access system installed. This system is installed with central virtual server software and partitioned databases for each site. This allows the district to enroll cards once for the entire district, maintain one database, and control every door in the county from one single management software. It is the intention of this bid to expand the existing system by installing additional Sielox 2 door controllers and peripheral devices at each door. 2. Nash Rocky Mount Schools will be providing the following items to be installed by the contractor. a. 2 door controllers as needed per site. b. Software license for additional doors. c. Electric Door Strikes as needed per site. d. Request to exit sensors as needed per site. e. Door Position Switches (contacts) as needed per site. f. Power Supplies for doors as needed per site. g. Door access cable as needed per site. h. Magnetic door holders as needed per site. i. Electronic latch retraction kits as needed per site. j. Push to exit buttons as needed per site. 3. Contractor responsibilities a. Install all items provided by the owner as indicated in bid documents and noted in the pre bid conference. b. Provide any items not supplied by the owner to complete the installation. It is the responsibility of the contractor to provide and install any required items to make a complete functional system. c. Hold a valid NC Alarm License and have all employees registered with the NCASLB. Contractor shall provide a copy of this license with the bid submission. d. Expand the license of the existing software to allow for the total number of doors being added. e. Contractor shall be a current partner of Sielox/Pinnacle products and shall have certified and factory trained technicians on staff.
