Operational Security Cameras Bagwell and North Cargo AreasThe contract requires the design, permitting, and construction of a new camera system to enhance security and operational oversight in the Bagwell and North Cargo areas of the Port of Seattle. A total of 50 high-resolution cameras will be installed across 43 locations to replace outdated equipment and extend coverage to critical areas not adequately monitored under current conditions. The primary goal is to improve forensic capabilities and support enforcement of the Port’s movement rules and regulations by capturing clearer video evidence in key operational zones, particularly along main terminal drive lanes and entrances previously focused on conveyor systems and security doors. In the North Cargo operations area, the system will include flexible Pan Tilt Zoom units to deliver dynamic, user-controllable surveillance that can cover broad surface areas and adapt to changing needs. This ensures comprehensive visibility across sprawling cargo handling zones where fixed cameras are insufficient. The project is managed by the Aviation Project Management Group under the Port of Seattle, with primary point of contact Angela Peterson and Project Manager Randa Williams available for coordination. The contract is categorized under NAICS code 238210 for electrical contractors and is posted as a forecast with no set-aside provisions, indicating an open competition for qualified contractors.
