CHAPTER 6 PROCUREMENT Patterson, David G. . Implementing Physical Protection Systems: A Practical Guide, 2 nd Edition (Kindle Locations 1726 -1729) • Invitation for bids (IFB) - used when the customer has completed its own security system design, including the selection of hardware and software. • The invitation for bids asks vendors to state the cost of materials and installation. • Usually, the qualified bidder with the lowest price is awarded the contract. This type of procurement is also referred to as a request of quotation (RFQ). • Bid package or construction documents consists of bidders’ instructions, specifications, drawings and schedules, and hardware schedules.

3. 1. 2 and 3. 1. 4: “Outline the criteria for the evaluation of bids and explain the ethics in contracting relating to the pre-bid meeting to ensure comprehensiveness and appropriateness of implementation. ” CHAPTER 6 PROCUREMENT “Evaluation Criteria”, • Forms a basis for ethical guidelines and metrics for the procurement and selection process. • No direct reference to ethics in the pre-bid, bid or entire procurement process. • Recommend follow standards and best practice as outlined in the Procurement Process (14. 8 Knoke) and Patterson – be guided accordingly by the processes discussed.

3. 1. 3: “Outline the technical compliance criteria for pre-bid meeting to ensure comprehensiveness and appropriateness of implementation” CHAPTER 5: Patterson, page 80: • Bid bond - guarantees that the bidder on a contract will enter into the contract and furnish the required payment and performance bonds. • Common business practice for the tender to be supported by a bid bond (also known as a tender bond). • An indication of the contractor’s ability to carry out the work requested. • Form of insurance should the successful bidder fail to proceed with the contract for any reason.

• Performance bond - Most large projects put out to bid require the successful bidder to provide a performance bond after being awarded the contract. • Indicates that the company has the necessary skills and capabilities to carry out the required work and comply with the agreed terms and conditions of the contract. 14. 3. 5 SPECIFICATIONS Knoke page 458 • PPS specification includes: • instructions to bidders with a list of all documents included in the contract documents • list of project references

Implementing Physical Protection Systems: A Practical Guide, 2 nd Edition (Kindle Locations 2757 -2760). • Commissioning is the process of ensuring that all systems and components are designed, installed, tested, and operated according to the operational requirements of the owner. • An all-inclusive process for all the planning, design, assembly, delivery, installation, and verification of a PPS.

• Commissioning should formalize the review and integration of all project expectations, during all the PPS phases, through inspection, functional performance testing, oversight of operator training, and detailed documentation. • Goals of commissioning are as follows: o Define and document requirements clearly at the outset of each phase and update through the process. o Verify and document compliance at the completion of each phase. o Establish and document commissioning tasks for subsequent-phase team members.

o Deliver PPSs that meet the customer’s needs at the time of completion. o Verify that alarm assessment and response procedures are completed. o Verify that operation and maintenance personnel are properly trained. o Verify PPS performance across its life cycle. • Key activities are as follows: o Establish goals for quality, efficiency, and functionality. o Establish a commissioning approach and scope. o Establish a commissioning budget. o Establish commissioning plans. o Establish commissioning schedules. o Develop commissioning specifications.

o Determine special testing needs. o Establish re-commissioning plans. o Document compliance and acceptance. • The commissioning plan sets out how the organization wants the new system to be installed and commissioned.

“Describe methods and process for commissioning and installation problem resolution (punchlists). ” CHAPTER 2: PPS Life Cycle Phase 4: Installation, Operation, and Training, Patterson, David G. . Implementing Physical Protection Systems: A Practical Guide, 2 nd Edition • Punch list is a contract document used in the architecture and building trades to organize the completion of a construction project. • Commissioning is the process of ensuring that all systems and components of a system are designed, installed, tested, operated, and maintained according to the operational requirements of the owner. .

• PPS Life Cycle Phase 5: Commissioning and Warranty The tests performed by the implementation team may involve equipment, personnel, procedures, or any combination. Tests should simulate realistic conditions and provide conclusive evidence about the effectiveness of the security system. While a system is still under warranty, usually for one year, the installation contractor is expected to maintain the system free of charge. Figure 2 -5 shows key steps in the commissioning and warranty phase.

“Describe the systems configuration management and final acceptance testing criteria. ” 15. 4. 2 SITE ACCEPTANCE TESTING, Knoke. Physical Security Principles (Kindle Locations 11995 -11996) PAGE 507 For the security system acceptance tests, the following should be done: • verification that the data and video transmission system and any signal or control cabling have been installed, tested, and approved as specified • when the system includes remote control/ monitoring stations or remote switch panels, verification that the remote devices are functional, communicate with the security monitoring center, and perform all functions as specified

• verification that the video switcher is fully functional and that the switcher software has been programmed as needed for the site configuration • verification that all system software functions work correctly • operation of all electrical and mechanical controls and verification that the controls perform the designed functions • verification that all video sources and video outputs provide a full-bandwidth signal • verification that all input signals are terminated properly • verification that all cameras are aimed and focused properly

• verification that cameras facing the rising or setting sun are aimed sufficiently below the horizon that they do not view the sun directly • if vehicles are used near the assessment areas, verification of night assessment capabilities (including whether headlights cause blooming [loss of detail due to excessive bright spot] or picture degradation) • verification that all cameras are synchronized and that the picture does not roll when cameras are switched • verification that the alarm interface to the intrusion detection subsystem is functional and that automatic camera call-up is functional for all designated alarm points and cameras

• when pan/ tilt mounts are used in the system, verification that the limit stops have been set correctly, that all controls for pan/ tilt or zoom mechanisms are operative, and that the controls perform the desired function • if pre-position controls are used, verification that all home positions have been set correctly and have been tested for auto home function and correct home position

ASIS International Certificationrisks Exam Review “Procuring systems to address identified and DOMAIN 3: IMPLEMENTATION OF PHYSICAL SECURITY MEASURES (32%) describe vendor pre-qualification (interviews and due diligence). CHAPTER 6 PROCUREMENT - SELECTING CONTRACTORS , Patterson, Implementing Physical Protection Systems: A Practical Guide, 2 nd Edition (Kindle Locations 1833 -1835). • Requires the same amount of effort as hiring a new employee. • Qualifications must be reviewed, references checked, and interviews held with the people who will perform the work. • Ensure that the personnel identified in proposals are the ones who will actually perform the work. October 2017 Dennis Shepp, CPP

• Ask for written employee guarantees from the contractor. • Once three or four qualified contractors have been identified, the proposal can be sent to them alone. • Be prepared to defend its selection of qualified contractors by using written selection criteria and documenting the results. • Reduce selection down to two or three vendors. • The project team interviews these contractors and asks about their experiences on other projects and how they plan to approach this project. • Interviews provide valuable insight into contractors’ understanding of the project and objectives, compatibility with company culture and personnel, and ability to complete the project successfully.

Task 5. 6 & 5. 7. Develop requirements for personnel involved in the support of the security program and describe the personnel performance review and improvement processes and methods to provide security awareness training and education for non-security personnel. Chapter 2, Functions of Physical Security, Michael E. Knoke. Physical Security Principles • A truly comprehensive asset protection strategy should include security awareness training that extends to personnel in all departments, regardless of whether an organization has proprietary, contract, or hybrid security operations, or none at all.

11. 6 Trends and Issues, Michael E. Knoke. Physical Security Principles (Kindle Locations 9166 -9168). ASIS International. Kindle Edition. • E-learning training tools - training software in a state of continued improvement. • Tools for users of legacy & new control systems. • This is accomplished using case-specific training. • Ability to author, publish, and manage enterprise-wide, repeatable training and site-specific security awareness programs. • Reduces costs associated with operator & administration training. • Enhances compliance training for regulated industries.

12. 6. 1 Security Officers as Public Relations Agents, Michael E. Knoke. Physical Security Principles (Kindle Locations 10369 -10370), page 392 • Protection officers act as agents of management when they assume a public relations role in dealing with visitors, customers, tenants, and vendors. • Security personnel must be well versed in corporate expectations and culture. • Equipped with this knowledge, protection officers can become adjunct members of the management team. • Security officers are often the first contact a visitor, customer, vendor, or employee has with an organization.

• The way they deal with people has a marked effect on the initial impression made by the organization. • Security officers can also help form and maintain good relationships between the security department (in-house or contract) and others in the organization. • By being involved in a security awareness program, officers can have a positive impact in encouraging employees to report or decrease security risks. • Well-trained officers who are courteous, act with restraint, and use good judgment can often overcome any people who may be antagonistic. • Cost-effective & practical ideas to increase organizationwide security awareness include incorporating training into new-hire orientations, special luncheons, or regular business meetings.

• Organizations should also explore the many excellent and free online security awareness training options, such as the Nationwide SAR (Suspicious Activity Reporting) Initiative training programs and the many courses offered by government.
