GOC4555387-CS-PAL - CONSULTANT - Urgent – Service Canada Access Card System Replacement

Scope of Work/Overview:
Service Canada is currently utilizing an outdated proprietary Tyco access card system to control access into their space at 200 Town Centre Court, Toronto.  Recently, the Tyco workstation has failed leading to multiple issues such as inability to access their space during certain days and times.  The current system can no longer be supported by the manufacturer (Tyco) and is currently relying on an outdated workstation server to keep the system online until a replacement system can be installed. 
Service Canada has requested to replace their existing card access system with a non-proprietary system. This will include, but not limited to, replacing the door controllers, installing expansion modules, batteries and workstations and re-using any salvagable equipment such as card readers where possible. Consultant to review the current site conditions in order to immediately begin the design process and discuss with Service Canada and BGIS any other considerations that need to be included.
Consultant to provide sufficient site visits during investigation to accurately identify all existing Service Canada access control hardware, devices, workstations and any other components related to the access control system.  Consultant to include interviews with stakeholders (Service Canada and BGIS) to capture requirements and include any net new additions that Service Canada would like to include in this project.  Consultant to review telephone rooms and conduits servicing the card access system to determine optimum location of control boards and conduits.  Consultant to review market conditions and provide an estimate on construction costs and equipment availability during the design of this project (i.e. 33%, 66%, 99%, tender) in order to advise Service Canada of potential project costs to secure further funding.
