Systems Design/Construction Documents:

Members of SC&D have extensive experience in the design of access control/alarm monitoring, biometrics, video imaging, CCTV, intrusion detection, long/short range communications, X-ray/metal detection, and asset protection systems.  We also provide design drawing reviews that outline system engineering criteria, to include security design & concept methodology, equipment locations, connectivity, engineering specifications and other design layout requirements.  In addition, SC&D can prepare complete bid/specification package documentation.  Other experience includes security console and control room designs.


Construction Period Services:

SC&D can provide comprehensive management oversight of security design efforts from concept through construction.  Specific efforts could include systems acceptance testing support and monitoring installation/design-build efforts to ensure compliance with design requirements outlined in specification documents.


Submittal Reviews and Approvals:

SC&D can provide engineering support in the review of design drawings and related support documentation.  Reviews will cover accuracy of layout, appropriateness of design, adherence to technical codes and standards, and a cost-benefit review.

Bid Reviews and Evaluations:

SC&D can support you in addressing the various elements of the procurement process, such as developing bid project requirements, evaluation and negotiation criteria, design budgets/cost estimates, and work schedules.  SC&D can also develop the bid criteria (bid specifications), evaluate contractor bids, and develop and/or evaluate requests for proposals.

 
Budget Estimating:

SC&D can develop project cost estimates based on system and program requirements and design and specification documents, to include equipment, labor, installation, project management, and contingency fees.  SC&D's approach incorporates the use of value engineering techniques to ensure all Security projects are completed on time and within budget.
