Project Details

  • Programmed funding: $4,925,000
  • Appropriated funding: $2,375,000
  • Project type: Rehabilitation/replacement

Description and Scope

This project funds the ability to systematically perform the essential upgrades and/or replacement of hardware/software used by the City's centralized access management system. 

System panels, readers, electronic strikes, magnetic locks, and other components are required for the proper and efficient performance of the centralized access system. This project also includes the funding required to expand the access system to additional municipal buildings. 

It also funds security cameras as needed to address security issues in various facilities.

Targeted buildings for the access system include all Fire/EMS stations, recreation centers, libraries, Skillquest, Public Works and Public Utilities facilities located on Dam Neck Road, and others.

Purpose and Need

The city standard for new buildings includes adding door access hardware for security purposes. 

In existing buildings without the Lenel access system, departments are requesting to add card readers to secure their office space. 

The original Lenel system components are over 11 years old and will be out of compliance and no longer supported by Lenel OnGuard software in the near future.
