Salt Lake County Contracts and Procurement, on behalf of Library Services invites your company to bid on providing RFID Security gates meeting the minimum specifications listed below and tuned for detection of ISO 15693 RFID tags specific to use in Salt Lake County libraries, all associated detection software, installation services and training which enables Library IT staff to install & troubleshoot the gates. Salt Lake County Library uses 3 different gate configurations across our (18) branches: 4-pedestal (3 pathway) gates, 3-pedestal (2 pathway) gates (most common), 2-pedestal (1 pathway) gates. The library will ensure power is available in an accessible location according to installation requirements and a network line to one end pedestal, all other connections between pedestals must be contained within a threshold to which the pedestals are mounted. Gates must be mounted to a moveable threshold or base and must not be required to be anchored directly to the floor. Gates must be tuned for detection of the specific ISO 15693 RFID tags in use by the library and accurately detect at least 95% of incorrectly checked RFID items in systematic testing by library personnel. Wiring between gates should be contained in the threshold or mounting base. The only required connections to the gates from outside the threshold must be for power and Ethernet. Gate pedestals must be mounted no less than 36" from each other. Software installed on a staff PC at each location displaying item(s) that triggered an alarm. Preference given for solutions with a central application/server which operates over the library network to manage the gates and store data for all gates in the library system. People counting functionality is desirable but NOT required, since the library has an existing solution which is separate from our RFID security gates.
