Collier County Security Modernization

Collier County Procurement Services has issued Request for Information 26-8694 to identify vendor capabilities for a large-scale modernization of its physical security infrastructure across 83 countywide locations. The project seeks a turnkey, event-driven enterprise security platform that replaces legacy systems with an open architecture and cybersecurity-first design. Key technical requirements include the full replacement of the Pelco Endura Video Management System (VMS) involving approximately 1,175 cameras with a Linux-based, ONVIF-compliant platform, and a complete rip-and-replace of the JCI P2000 Access Control System (ACS) supporting 894 doors with a Mercury-based solution. The county is also evaluating the integration or migration of an existing Lenel system managing 547 doors. The scope further extends to the replacement of 24 out of 40 legacy burglar alarm systems, the modernization of approximately 210 Code Blue Emergency Call Boxes across 71 locations, and the deployment of a 4K event-driven videowall in the Operations Center. Deliverables include detailed design documentation, network architecture, storage validation, and implementation services such as asset inventories and training. As this is a non-bidding RFI, vendors are explicitly prohibited from providing pricing information. Responses must be submitted electronically via the Collier County Procurement Division Online Bidding System by October 28, 2026. All submissions are subject to Florida Public Records Law, though a Confidential Information Designation Form is available for proprietary claims.
