- Description
- The Corps of Engineers intends to solicit and award a construction project on Fort Drum, NY, during fiscal year 2011 (which ends 30 Sep 11) which will contain a Brand Name Only component. This project will be solicited competitively under a future solicitation. This notification serves three purposes: (1) to notify potential offerors of the Army's intent to solicit a brand name only component under a future construction project and (2) to identify potential sources of a compatible systems and (3) notification of the Army's intent to contract sole source for a Brand Name Only, system Stanley Wi-Q Wireless Technology with heavy duty BEST electro-mechanical locksets, as described below. The Stanley Wi-Q Wireless Technology with BEST electro-mechanical locksets (the Stanley system) is embedded in the Construction projects. The Stanley system is the only portion of the project identified to be procured from a sole source, if no sources are able to provide a compatible system. In the event no compatible equipment exists, the Brand Name Only justification will be issued pursuant to FAR 6.3, Only One Responsible Source. This synopsis is for planning purposes and is not a solicitation. This synopsis is the only document that will be published notifying potential offerors of the government's intent. SUMMARY OF REQUIREMENT: The specifications outlined in this document are designed to meet a need for Wireless Access Control Solution where the reader(s) is combined with the associated locking hardware to provide a battery powered wireless security access control solution to the door(s) or portal(s). Any alternate approaches using hardwires solutions will not be acceptable. The system shall be fully compatible with the Stanley Wi-Q Technology Wireless Access Control Solution from Stanley and its kiosk which is the current backbone of the Ft Drum Installation keyless entry system. The system shall consist of two major elements (Reader and Wireless) as described below. Reader -Lock This shall be a fully integrated smart locking device. It shall have the capability to make all decisions at the device without relying on a separate controller device. The reader/lock shall be installed within the existing door ANSI cut out and require minimal drilling. There shall be no need to rout out the door to drive additional power through any electric transfer hinge. All requirements will be met within the reader/ lock itself. In no event shall a wired alternate solution be presented. The wireless reader shall use an AA battery pack; no AC power shall be required at the door. The reader/ lock shall also be able to operate as a fully stand alone intelligent device making all decisions in real time. In the un-likely event that the reader/ lock is offline from the host, it shall continue to operate storing and recording accesses until it is reconnected and back on-line to the host. The wireless reader/ lock shall be offered in one of four modes: as a self-contained cylindrical reader/ lock; as a supplemental quick adapter module to be added to an existing lockset for fire exit devices; as a retrofit kit to be mounted in a double gang box ad an upgrade path for a legacy hardwired application to make it wireless; and as a wireless access controller interfaced to a hardwired reader and ancillary door devices such as a Request to Exit switch, a Door Switch Monitor and a Door Lock sense input. For cylindrical lock applications the wireless reader shall provide support for an integral Request to Exit (RQE) and Door Switch Monitor (DS), Door Latch Position (LS), and Key Over-ride Sensor (KOS). The reader/ lock shall support as a minimum the following "reader" technologies: up to a 6-digit user defined PIN number between 3 and 6 characters in length; user defined magnetic Stripe formats on either track 2 or track 3 on the Magnetic Stripe tracks at standard bit coding 2750-4000; support for 125 KHz HID/ Wiegand compatible Proximity cards with variable bit formats such that multiple user defined bit formats can be supported at the reader. Additionally: as standard, the reader shall support exterior applications; each reader/ lock shall have a battery power to meet 100,000 lock/ transaction; each reader/ lock shall come with a minimum 2,000 ID capacity, and be able to store locally, id offline, up to 20,000 transactions. Reader-Lock Database The reader shall support 2,000 unique ID's in its standard configuration and be expandable to 65,000. Expansion shall not require a field upgrade at the reader but rather a software key shall be downloaded from the host that shall increase the database size and support up to 65,000 cardholders. Up to 144 user-defined time zones supported with 6 time intervals per time zone. Up to 32 types of unique user defined holidays shall be supported. Each holiday shall be capable of supporting a different time code. A unique set of Access privileges shall be available for each cardholder per reader/ lock. The memory allocation on the reader/ lock shall be dynamic such that the user may maximize the size of the available memory to meet their requirements for either ID's or transaction storage. Time zones shall be able to cross midnight such that a shift beginning at 10:00 PM and ending at 9:00 AM the next morning will be considered as a signal time zone. The reader/ lock shall be able to support an auto-enroll mode where the user may select a reader to be used to enroll a large group of cardholders. This shall be achieved by either bulk loading of ID numbers between specific ranges or by presenting a card to a reader that then reads the card data and enrolls the card to the database. The wireless reader/ locks shall at a minimum meet FCC Part 15C, UL10C, and ULCS104. Reader - Lock Operation Modes The reader shall support Access Control for a single door with in reader and free egress on the same door. The reader will monitor a door position status such that it is able to detect door open and door locked and secure. In no event will a separate contact be required to be mounted to the frame of the door and wired back to a separate contact monitoring device. All alarm monitoring at the door/ portal will be monitored by the reader/ lock itself and shall not require any additional controller support. The reader shall report any access transaction with the time and date of the event in hours, minutes, and seconds. The reader/ locks database shall support up to 7 unique shunt times for specific groups of individuals and meet ADA compatibility requirements for extended shunt times for any single groups of physically impaired cardholders. The reader will support an RQE (Request to Exit) status that will be reported separately as a separate auditable transaction. In the event that an attempt to exit is made, but the door/ portal remains closed (secure), then the transaction will not be recorded as a valid RQE and will time out after the shunt has expired. The reader/ lock shall support and transmit a signal if the power to the reader/ lock drops below 10%. The reader shall support different operation modes based on time zones. Thus a reader may be in a Card only mode in the daytime, but require a Card plus PIN after hours. This shall be fully programmable from the host. The reader/ lock shall be able to operate in a fully stand alone mode or as a distributed fully intelligent reader/ lock holding the transactions until they are polled. The reader/ lock shall communicate via spread spectrum radio transmission at 2.4GHZ. The reader/lock shall use as a standard, AES 128 bit encryption to the nearest non-dedicated Portal Gateway. Portal Gateways shall provide redundant communications capability so that a wireless reader can report to another Portal Gateway if its primary reporting path is lost. The reader/ lock shall report multiple incorrect PIN attempts (greater than 3) as an alarm attempt. The reader/ lock shall be able to detect the presence of a cardholder planning to gain access, prior to the formal card presentation, such that the cardholder shall not be required to orient their card in a specific manner to wake the reader. The readers read/ response time to an access request shall not exceed 250 Milliseconds worse case. Each reader/ lock shall have its own unique MAC address. Wireless - Access Controller A wireless access controller shall serve as a retrofit kit to replace an existing wired infrastructure with a local wireless reader PCB that has the ability to slave to a wired reader and local peripherals at the door. It is also capable of interfacing with a token reader utilizing a standard Wiegand protocol to unlock various electrified locking hardware such as electric strikes, exit device trim, electro-magnetic locks and other low voltage applications. This shall include the following: support of an existing (RQE) Request to Exit device, (DS) Door Switch Monitor (magnetic contact etc.) and (LS) Door latch sense; it shall also support a locally powered locking device rated up to 4AMPS at 12/24 V DC; an auxiliary relay output will be available to drive other door related outputs, this relay shall be rated at 2 AMPS 12/24 V DC; there shall additionally be support for other non door related auxiliary inputs that may be user configured to monitor other digital inputs; the wireless access controller will also have the same feature set of software capabilities as the standard wireless reader, up to 65,000 ID's, 144 time zones, variable shunt times for different staff groups, and ADA compliance; the wireless access controller will be able to support any Wiegand card format form 16 to 128 bits and shall be able to serve as a log on or enrollment reader where an individual or group of individuals may "badge" into the system and the system will identify their card data so the card can be auto-enrolled; the wireless access controller shall provide wireless communication back to a Portal Gateway such that no separate controllers will be required for decision making, all door related decisions will be made at the wireless access controller local reader(s) it serves; all terminations to the wireless access controller shall be through plug or wired block terminals- no special tools will be required to install the unit(s); the reader shall be able to operate in different modes such that it is able to serve as a smart I/O module supporting I/O functions either ancillary to its primary role as an access control device or as its sole role. In this mode the wireless access controller shall be able to provide the following: 1) As a wireless reader module with support for a dedicated Door Switch Monitor (DS), Door Latch Sensor (LS), Request to Exit (RQE), and key by pass override with two onboard relays, one rated at 4 AMP for 12/24 V DC operation, the other at 2 AMP for 12/24 DC operation plus 4 additional logic driven outputs. In this mode no wireless reader would be supported. 2) The reader shall be available, in retrofit mode as a wireless access controller, and shall be able to support two Wiegand compatible readers. This support shall allow a wireless access controller. The access (ingress and egress transactions shall be recorded separately and from part of an audit trail. 3) The Wireless Access Controller shall come standard with half wave dipole antennas and a ceiling mount omni-directional antenna with 20' of cable and all required connectors. Wireless - Portals and Gateways The portal gateways shall operate in a non-dedicated mode such that any reader/ lock shall be able to report to and through any portal gateway. The portal gateway shall accept data from any of the addresses readers and transmit bi-directional encrypted data to the host for archiving and data management. Each portal gateway shall have the following capabilities: each portal gateway, in base configuration shall support a minimum of 16 reader/ locks in its antenna range and via system options, be able to support up to 128 reader/ locks in a maximum system configuration; each portal gateway shall have its own unique MAC address such that, on boot up, the host will identify those portal gateways that belong to the system; every portal gateway shall encrypt the data using 128 BIT AES encryption and send and receive data via spread spectrum RF transmission to and from the host; nominal transmission distances between the reader/ locks and the portal gateway(s) shall have 250 feet line of sight; extended ranges exceeding 1,000 feet shall be available, if required, using standard commercially available high security RF transport sub-systems; each portal gateway shall have the support of a stand-by power supply; each portal gateway shall support two transmission paths to the host, the user may elect to use standard Ethernet cabling between the portal gateway and the host using a cross over cable; each portal gateway shall have the capability to support additional I/O devices through two auxiliary, non-dedicated serial ports and one USB port, these ports shall be designed for OEM applications and shall not be for general purpose I/O; each portal shall have its own IP address, this may be static or dynamic; the portal gateway shall support secure socket communications between the host(s)/ server and any associated portal gateway this shall be user selectable; and the portal gateway shall come standard with half wave dipole antennas and a ceiling mount omni-directional antenna with a 20' cable and all required connections.
