Introduction: This is a procurement for the Tennessee Department of Correction (TDOC) for the provision and installation of two replacement high security rolling gates at the Northwest Correctional Complex (NWCX). The facility is an active correctional facility built in the early 1990's and it is located in Lake County TN at 960 State Road 212. Tiptonville, TN 38079. These gates comprise the main pedestrian entrance and they need to be replaced due to age. These existing pedestrian gates are beyond any useful repair because of the age and the amount of traffic that is required daily to enter the site. II. Scope of Work: The Respondent shall replace the gates and operators with new hardware and reconnect to the existing control infrastructure to deliver a fully operational sequenced gate operating similar to the existing gates. The Facility Maintenance department shall provide support for the onsite installation portion of the work to assist the Respondent by providing a forklift and dock for receiving, the delivery and warehouse space for storing the new gates, as well as providing access to and from the work area through the secure perimeters.

All Respondents shall visit the job and meet with ITS and Maintenance staff prior to fabricating and delivering their gates in order to verify all performance requirements and operation characteristics and so that the supplied gates match the intent of this specification and matches field conditions without modifications. In terms of operation, new gates shall be right-hand or left-hand operation matching existing. New housings must be supplied that match existing control wiring entry location. Existing gates have concrete grade beams under the gate which needs to be matched up with the new gate dimensions or it shall be replaced. The new gates shall have access panels for the controls opposite the secure side so maintenance staff can securely make repairs should the equipment fail. Mounting height of the operators is currently at about 14' height and it is preferred to lower the mounting height to 8' height to facilitate such access using a fixed fence panel above that so the frame matches the same top height. All these items should be evaluated by the Respondent and shown on submittals for approval by TDOC prior to fabrication and delivery of the new gates. All freight and delivery charges shall be included with the bid price for a one-time delivery or for multiple or individual deliveries depending on the Respondent's intent (The installation shall be done one gate at a time to maintain security so delivery may be spread out at the option of the Respondent).
