Pursuant to North Carolina Gen. Stat. 143-131, Granville County ( County ) is requesting informal bid proposals from qualified vendors to capable of providing electronic access door control and security surveillance camera upgrades as herein described. The purpose of this request for proposals ( RFP ) is to obtain formal bids and to select a qualified bidder (the Bidder ) for those services as more particularly described herein. It is the County's objective to select a bidder (the Service Provider ) based on this RFP and recommend to the Granville County Board of Commissioners the award of a contract. All labor, equipment, supplies, insurance and permits necessary to meet the requirements of this RFP shall be included in this quote. The selected Service Provider will be responsible for the design, installation, and ongoing technical support, ensuring that the security system is robust, user-friendly, and effectively address our security objectives. Due to planning, design, and funding capacities, other county facilities will be phased in overtime. However, this process is to confirm a preferred vendor that will meet the necessary requirements of security and structure our staff desires. As facilities are phased in, the county will reserve the right to change installers of the physical security equipment based on service quality. The first facilities of first concern are the Granville County Courthouse and Granville County Administrative offices located at 101 Main Street and 141 Williamsboro Street, Oxford, NC, which is the focus of this request for proposals. The project will involve a comprehensive upgrade of the physical security systems at each location. The scope includes the installation of an electronic door access control and surveillance camera system with cloud-based storage, and integration of both systems under a unified management platform. The system's infrastructure will encompass 17 doors and 29 cameras at the Courthouse location and 11 doors and 9 cameras at the Administration location. As a security measure, blueprints of the Granville County Facilities will not be posted on our website and will only be provided to qualified vendors upon request. Email a company introduction, a W-9, contact information, and three references of similar work to scott.phillips@granvillecounty.org. Upon approval, Appendix A diagraming the floor plans of the Granville County Courthouse and Administrative Office areas will be sent.
