Physical Security Infrastructure Platform

This Request for proposal ("RFP") is an invitation by the Upper Grand District School Board (the “Board" or "UGDSB") to prospective Proponents to submit proposals for a Physical Security Infrastructure Platform (“Platform”). The Platform should be deployed in a Software as a Service (“SaaS”) or Infrastructure as a Service (“IaaS”) cloud model and provide an intuitive, web-based interface (single pane of glass) that unifies the management of physical security functions, including:
- Access Control (UGDSB’s primary need) - Safety - Alarms/Strobes
- Video Surveillance and Analytics - Environmental Monitoring
- Public Address/Intercom - Building Automation
 

The Platform must support door access control functionality. For the remaining physical security functions, the Platform should support integrations with third-party systems delivering those functions and/or provide direct native support in the Platform. The Board intends to evaluate the proposals with an intent to standardize on a single Platform.
 

A subsequent procurement will seek security system integrators qualified to work with the chosen Platform. Qualified integrators will be offered the opportunity to bid on the Board’s Access Control and physical security systems integration projects across 65 elementary, 11 secondary, and 5 administrative sites.
