Campus Perimeter Video Surveillance System

Texas Southern University is soliciting competitive sealed proposals for a contractor to provide general construction and subcontracting services for the Campus Perimeter Video Surveillance System Upgrade. This turnkey project involves the installation of approximately eighty-six exterior cameras, including necessary infrastructure such as trenching, pavement and landscaping restoration, and work on poles and foundations. The technical scope encompasses electrical power, grounding, surge protection, fiber and network connectivity, servers, storage, and enhancements to the video management system, with a requirement for a minimum thirty-day recording retention capability and cybersecurity hardening. The project must integrate with the university's existing network environment and comply with applicable codes, safety regulations, and accessibility requirements. The contract will be awarded as a lump-sum or fixed-price agreement based on the best value to the state and university, with approximately 24% of the evaluation weighted on the pricing and delivery proposal. The estimated project budget is two million dollars, though this serves as a planning limitation rather than a spending authorization. Key requirements include compliance with the Texas Public Information Act, the National Defense Authorization Act, and the Texas Prevailing Wage Law. Contractors must provide performance and payment bonds and maintain competent on-site supervision. Proposals must be submitted in both paper and flash drive formats by December 15, 2026, and must include a comprehensive response across ten specific criteria, including technical solutions, implementation plans, and quality control.
