Renovation of a library in Randolph, Massachusetts. Working plans call for the renovation of a library.

Supply and install a total of 42 new Belden Category 6 plenum cables to a total of 28 locations. Pull all of this new cabling back to the existing rack in the basement. Supply and install 42 new Category 6 jacks, faceplates and labels at the station locations. Supply and install a new 48 port Cat 6 patch panel with horizontal wire manager for the IT rack. All this new cabling should be completely tested and certified; with test results and a set of as-built drawings part of the closeout documentation. Network will be reconfigured for better workflow. Security Camera Installation: Provide, program, and install fifteen(15) ip cameras, one (1)Network Attached Storage Device, two(2) managed PoE switches, two fiber runs, and one (1) Video Management System for viewing of both live and recorded video. Provide training to staff on this monitoring system. Use existing cable pathway where applicable, existing 120v power, and existing desktop computers. Cameras will terminate to the MDF located in the basement. WHY The Turner Free Library hopes to install a new camera system to increase current security for the public and the staff. In addition to this physical security measure, the library also hopes to hard wires existing wireless computers and invest in new software to protect both patrons and the library from malicious digital attacks and information theft. It is our hope to centralize new cameras (we currently have 4) and use our server to host them. We would also like to increase our scope of security by adding cameras, fifteen in total. These cameras would secure the many areas throughout the building that are currently unmonitored. Our current system has been accessed by not only our administration but also the Randolph Police Department for emergencies. The cameras will also allow us to open up our programming rooms for regular use when they are available, safely allowing us to address any overflow issues. Digital security is very important in this age of advanced threats to personal security. The library has many measures in place such as a firewall and software to protect against hackers. We would like to increase these measures by investing in a system that allows for frequent upgrades. This wiring project and software upgrade will allow patrons even better piece of mind as they use the librarys public computers for tasks such as preparing their taxes, paying online bills, submitting naturalization paperwork, and everyday correspondence. Our current camera system costs $1500 a year for the four cameras alone. The cost has been the driving force of limiting our current camera system to only four cameras. It would be more cost effective, as we add cameras, to host them on our own system and change our existing cameras over to the same server. The cost of the initial set up has prevented us from moving over to this model. Our current software costs $800 a year and functions fairly well. In order to utilize many of the protection measures it offers our computers need to not be utilizing wireless internet (which presents its own security threats). If we were able to hardwire the computers and upgrade the software, not only would time be saved explaining security measures to patrons but our staff would also spend less time pushing out updates, troubleshooting, and maintaining short term fixes on the computers. WHO Staff and patrons of the Turner Free Library in Randolph, MA. WHEN This project should be underway by late August and be completed by early September in order to bring the least amount of interference to every day library use (which increases when the school year begins). Work should be scheduled for off hours as often as possible with the Library Director scheduled to supervise during early morning or late night installations
