Buffalo Zoo Security Cameras

The Buffalo Zoo is soliciting bids for a turnkey project to restore and improve its security camera system at 300 Parkside Avenue, Buffalo, New York. The project is necessitated by infrastructure failures caused by environmental exposure, which have left approximately 26 cameras without a feed. The scope of work includes the installation of roughly 3,100 feet of 2-inch thick conduit along Meadow, Crandall, and Parkside Drive, the replacement of 26 cameras, the installation of a 16-port PoE+ Switch in the maintenance building, and the provision of approximately 15 new 8ft x 6-inch stainless steel fence posts with mounting hardware. Additionally, the contractor must perform civil work consisting of a 40-foot trench and conduit installation at a 6-inch depth from the fence line to the maintenance building, including rough backfill. The contract term is six months, with work performed during normal business hours from 7:30 am to 4:00 pm, Monday through Friday. Interested contractors must be experienced in security and site protection systems. Proposals are due by November 2, 2026, at 3:30 PM and must be submitted to the attention of William Gaugliardo. To avoid disqualification, submissions must include a clear scope of work, a complete turnkey cost breakdown for labor and materials, a signed Contractor Code of Conduct form, insurance certificates, and detailed warranty information for both labor and materials. Proposals should also specify the method of repair, provide material data sheets, list expected material lifespans, and include projected durations and potential commencement dates.
