The City of Homer is requesting proposals from qualified security systems installation firms to install video security equipment. The project includes installation of F/UTP CAT6 or greater data cables to connect the cameras with the City’s MDF/IDF; Certification of the Cat cable channel to the appropriate EIA/TIA standard and Removal of existing camera units and data cables (and existing power supply, if not used for new camera units). The City of Homer will dispose of the actual camera units.  The contractor will dispose of the mounts and wire.

In 2007 the City of Homer installed video security systems at the Homer Public Library and the Homer Airport. These systems are now approaching the end of their service life. The City seeks replacement systems which will provide coverage of the same areas, but at higher resolution. This request for proposals applies only to providing the installation. Detailed floor plans, marked with coverage requirements, are available to qualified firms.
