Agenda Item
a. Approval of Physical Security Systems with Convergint Technologies for New Sequoyah High School, New Sequoyah Middle School, and New Cross Keys High School (Not to Exceed $1,724,267.95)
Summary: Presented by: Dr. Kermit Belcher, Chief Information Officer, Division of Information and Instructional Technology
Request: It is requested that the DeKalb County Board of Education approve the purchase and installation of physical security systems with Convergint Technologies for New Sequoyah High School, New Sequoyah Middle School, and New Cross Keys School at a total cost not to exceed $1,724,267.95.
Why: The Division of Information and Instructional Technology (DIIT) requests approval to procure comprehensive physical security systems from Convergint Technologies for New Sequoyah High School, New Sequoyah Middle School, and New Cross Keys High School. The scope includes access control, intrusion detection, and video surveillance systems required to secure the new facility and support student and staff safety. These systems are designed, furnished, installed, programmed, and commissioned by Convergint in coordination with new school construction activities. The proposed work ensures the facility opens with fully integrated, district-standard security infrastructure aligned with applicable safety codes and operational requirements.
Details: The physical security scope for New Sequoyah High School, New Sequoyah Middle School, and New Cross Keys High School was developed in coordination with district leadership, school safety stakeholders, and construction partners to address access control, intrusion detection, and video surveillance requirements for a new school facility. Convergint will deliver this work in two coordinated phases as part of the overall construction project.
Base Security Systems Installation (New Sequoyah MS/HS) =$962,556
This portion of work will establish the core physical security infrastructure for the school. This phase includes the design, furnishing, installation, and commissioning of an enterprise access control system, intrusion detection system, and video surveillance system. Access control includes LenelS2 OnGuard controllers, card reader door packages, monitored doors, electric strikes, and associated hardware. The intrusion detection system includes a Bosch control panel, power supplies, monitored doors, motion detection devices, alarm interfaces, and first-year monitoring services. The video surveillance system includes a centralized network video recorder, fixed and multi-sensor cameras, video door intercom stations, camera licensing, system programming, and full system testing.
Security System Expansion (New Sequoyah MS/HS)= $496,445
This portion of the work expands the physical security systems to support additional doors, devices, and camera coverage required for the fully completed facility. The scope includes the addition of access control panels, card reader and monitored door packages, intrusion detection devices, and expanded video surveillance coverage, including dome, bullet, fisheye, and multi-sensor cameras. All added components are fully integrated into the district’s existing security platforms and programmed to operate as a unified system.
Across the full scope of work, Convergint is responsible for project management, equipment procurement, installation, programming, commissioning, training, documentation, and warranty services. Network cabling, electrical power, and pathways are provided by others in coordination with the construction project.
Mobile Classroom Security Cameras (New Cross Keys HS) =$40,362
Convergint will also install a supplemental video surveillance system for newly installed mobile classroom units at Cross Keys High School. This work includes:
Installation of the district’s CompleteView video management system with Hanwha Vision cameras
Installation of multi-sensor cameras, fisheye cameras, dome cameras, and bullet cameras to provide surveillance coverage for mobile classroom areas
Camera licensing, device hardening, system programming, and commissioning
Full system testing upon completion of installation
The system will integrate with the district’s existing video surveillance platform to maintain centralized monitoring and management capabilities.
Contingency =$224,904.95
A contingency amount of 15% above quoted costs is included to manage unforeseen conditions associated with network installation in a new construction environment and to ensure timely project completion.
Financial impact: $1,724,267.95

REVIEW IMPORTANT PRODUCT SAFETY AND SERVICE INFORMATION PRIOR
TO USING A CONVERGINT-INSTALLED SYSTEM: See the “IMPORTANT PRODUCT
SAFETY AND SERVICE INFORMATION” documentation, available at
convergint.com/terms.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
You requested that Convergint provide you with certain security and safety products and services.
By using these products and services, you acknowledge that:
Under no circumstances should Convergint-provided products and services be your sole
method of security or safety. Effective security and safety require a multi-layered approach involving
people, processes, and technologies. Convergint-provided products and services do not guarantee
security or safety, will not detect or prevent all threats or risks all the time (including threats they are
designed to detect), and will not ensure overall safety and security. You are ultimately responsible for
your people, premises, and property, including for maintaining an effective response plan and promptly
implementing your response plan in response to alarms or threats.
All security products and services have limitations. No product or service can guarantee safety or
security. It is your responsibility to ensure you are informed about product or service limitations and
that you regularly test and validate the products and safety plans. Reach out to your Convergint
account executive to learn how our support services can help. And if you have a service plan, you are
responsible for promptly notifying Convergint in the event of any defect, malfunction, or performance
issue with the products and services.
Various factors can impact product performance. Selecting products and settings may involve
tradeoffs between the level of security and safety on the one hand and speed, convenience, and cost
on the other hand. Convergint can give you guidance, but you are ultimately responsible for selecting
products and settings based on your organization’s risk profile and tolerance.
The products are made by third-party manufacturers, not Convergint. You are bound by and must
use, test, and maintain the products in accordance with the manufacturer’s terms and instructions.
Convergint does not independently validate the accuracy of claims or statements made by
manufacturers, and makes no assurances regarding their accuracy. You are responsible for using the
products and services in compliance with laws and regulations applicable to you or as permitted in your
jurisdiction.
All products and services are governed exclusively by a final agreement. No advertisement,
literature, brochure, website, or statements made during the sale process or otherwise (whether orally or
in writing) should be interpreted as a promise, warranty, or other assurance.
