1. General Description of Work
1.1. VA Central Iowa Health Care System (VACIHCS) requires a Contractor to furnish all
labor, materials, equipment, supervision, testing, programming, documentation, training,

Additionally, the Contractor shall replace existing card readers and install five motion
detectors, including four located in Warehouse Room 1002 and one in Corridor C1000,
to ensure comprehensive motion detection coverage. A complete automatic door operator
with relay control and ADA-accessible push button shall be installed for the interior
double doors at Door D, providing secure access and egress functionality. The
Contractor shall furnish and install Hirsch input and relay boards, as well as supply and
install all associated cabling, conduit, and junction boxes, totaling approximately 470
linear feet. All new devices – including readers, detectors, door operators, and boards –
must be fully integrated into the existing Hirsch access control system. The Contractor is
also responsible for providing labeling, programming, testing, and all final
documentation in compliance with VA security, safety, and IT standards.
1.2. The period of performance for this project is thirty (30) calendar days from the Notice to
Proceed (NTP), which includes site investigation, procurement, installation, system
integration, testing, end-user training, and close-out documentation.

2.1. The VA Building 27 Warehouse at VACIHCS lacks adequate intrusion detection
coverage and updated access controls at multiple entry points. Existing card readers

provide reliable reporting of access and alarm events to VA Police and connect to the
current Hirsch system in the IT Room.
