Project Overview

PSE performed security needs assessment of the current electronic security systems, network communication concerns, physical facility design impacting security, operations, and policies and procedures. The assessment report contained PSE’s recommendations, including a rough order of magnitude cost identifying recommendations for long and short-term security measures and solutions. This assessment consisted of a review of the existing systems, alternatives available for new technology, and recommendations for new system requirements. The building is approximately 171,430 SF in size, with four occupied levels and roof with mechanical penthouse spaces.

After the assessment was complete, PSE established the scope of the Security Upgrade Project and Lobby Expansion. PSE produced bid documents for the security systems scope and worked with a team of sub consultants to prepare the Lobby Expansion bid documents.
