The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking sources for an Architect-Engineer (A-E) contract to modernize the physical and electronic security systems at the Jonathan M. Wainwright Memorial VA Medical Center in Walla Walla, WA. The project includes replacing the current end-of-life physical access control (PACS) and security surveillance systems (SSTV) with a fully integrated single network and software platform. The A-E will be responsible for site visits, field investigations, reports, and user interviews to prepare drawings, specifications, and cost estimates for the project. The estimated magnitude of the project is between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000. Some key points of the project include: • Replacing the current PACS and SSTV systems with a new, integrated system • Expanding coverage of PACS and SSTV to close security vulnerabilities • Replacing lock cores and door hardware as necessary • Adding electronic security systems to various buildings on the campus • Providing new telecom closets and exterior and pole-mounted SSTV cameras • Developing a keying schedule for implementation • Assessing door hardware for compatibility with the new lock cores • Providing badge workstations, remote viewing stations, and control stations as required • Replacing and upgrading related electronic security products
