Replacement of Town Centre Video Surveillance system

Description

The Video Surveillance System (VSS) installations in Warminster and Westbury were originally installed in the late 1990's and have been extended and upgraded to the systems that are operating today. Since the original installation the cost of maintaining the systems has increased and the performance has decreased in comparison to what is available in the market today. As a consequence, Warminster Town Council are now seeking quotations to upgrade the existing systems and the creation of a new control room. The existing VSS installations comprise a total of 38 cameras that are capable of being monitored within the Warminster VSS control room in Dewey House. These are as follows: • Warminster 22 • Westbury Town 12 • West Wilts Trading Estate 4 The proposed upgrade will include the replacement of existing cameras, transmission, recording and monitoring equipment and the provision of new equipment based upon IP technology and wherever possible to use transmission methods not requiring the use of BT analogue fibres. Because the cameras are widely dispersed around each town, to achieve this will require the use of a wireless network, or Mesh network. There will also be one additional camera added in Warminster and one added in Westbury. The existing control room at Dewey House will be closed and a new control room opened in the existing community hub in Warminster town centre. The existing PTZ cameras will be replaced with high resolution multi sensor cameras comprising either three or four independent sensors in a single housing. The fee submissions will comprise of a financial element and written submission. Tender submissions will need to comply with the requirements set out below as well as contain the documentation and information requested. Each partner will be responsible for the cost of the cameras and associated costs within their own areas. These will need invoicing direct. Warminster Town Council will be responsible for the cost of the control room associated costs and will invoice the other partners accordingly. The total forecast budget for the project is £190,000-£230,000. This tender is administered by the officer below, who is based at Warminster Town Council.
