RFB-Release Sys - Refurbish Emergency Release System in Pod "A" @ Corrections

Summary of Specifications:
A. GENERAL – SCOPE OF SERVICES: 

1. The current system is a cable system with three stages that was installed in 1985 and the controls to the system are located in the tower for remote use. 

2. The first stage is used for normal operations allowing the doors to be operated with the control panel. 

3. The second stage is used by pulling a lever and cranking a small wheel from a remote location to open above the cell doors a small window to insert a tool to release each cell door individually. 

4. The third state is used by continuing to crank the wheel until the group cells doors are released without using a tool for each individual cell door, thus called the group emergency release. In the third position all cells doors are unsecured to allow for emergency evacuations. 

5. The current system fails to open all the doors as a group in the third stage and all the windows above the cells doors to allow access to release the door in the second stage. 

6. RFP is to seek bids to refurbish the current system back to its original state of operation.
