Public award description

ENTRANCE THROUGH THE MAIN LOBBY OF THE RTP OFFICES ARE CONTROLLED BY ELECTRO-MECHANICAL TURNSTILES, OR MORE PROPERLY DESCRIBED AS FASTLANE GLASSGATES, BY THEIR MANUFACTURER, INTEGRATED DESIGN LIMITED AND THEIR DISTRIBUTOR, SMARTER SECURITY, INC. THE GLASSGATES ARE NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND HAVE BEEN IN OPERATION FOR OVER FIVE YEARS. THERE IS A HIGH VOLUME OF FOOT TRAFFIC THROUGH THESE GLASSGATES, AND SHOULD THERE BE FAILURES WITHOUT HAVING SPARE PARTS, THIS WOULD BE A MAJOR DISRUPTION IN VETTING EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS AND VISITORS TRYING TO GET TO WORK. IT IS HIGHLY RECCOMENDED TO HAVE SPARE PARTS AVAILABLE ON-SITE FOR TIMES OF NEED AND IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE PARTS ARE CORRECT AND HAVE THE PROPER FIRMWARE INSTALLED OR THEY MAY NOT WORK.
