Port of Pasco
Video Surveillance Upgrade
REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS:
The Port of Pasco ("Port") invites qualified and licensed firms to submit quotations to furnish, configure, and
install a comprehensive video surveillance system at the Tri-Cities Airport (PSC). This RFQ is intended to
identify a vendor that can deliver a reliable, scalable solution that meets the Port’s operational, security, and
compliance requirements.
This is a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for the procurement and installation of a new video surveillance
system at the Tri-Cities Airport.
Deliverables:
1.System and Equipment: Supply, configure, and install all necessary equipment, including but not limited to
cameras, network video recorders (NVRs), servers, network switches, and cabling.
2.Camera Licensing: Provide licensing for a total of 220 cameras.
3.Video Storage: The system must provide a minimum of 120 days of continuous video storage at a specified
resolution and frame rate. The proposed storage solution should be scalable for future expansion.
Technical Specifications & Requirements
• Video Recording: The system must be capable of continuous recording 24/7 of all 240 cameras.
• Camera Resolution & Frame Rate: Specify a minimum resolution and frame rate for the cameras. For
example, "a minimum of 1080p (2MP) resolution at 15 frames per second (fps)." This is crucial for
calculating the required storage.
• Storage Calculation: Proposers should detail their storage solution and provide a calculation showing
how they will achieve the 120-day storage requirement.
• System Access: The system must include secure access for authorized personnel.
• Licensing: All licenses for cameras and software must be perpetual and do not require recurring
annual fees unless specified otherwise.

Legal and Compliance Requirements
All proposed solutions must comply with federal, state, and local laws and regulations, including Washington
State RCW (Revised Code of Washington). A critical point for compliance is RCW 9.73.030, which is
Washington's two-party consent law for audio recordings.
Audio Recording: The video surveillance system must not record audio in any area where a person has a
"reasonable expectation of privacy" as defined by Washington law. This includes indoor spaces like offices,
restrooms, and private meeting rooms. While the law permits video recording in public spaces where there
is no expectation of privacy (e.g., airport terminals, parking lots), recording a private conversation without
the consent of all parties is a crime.
Installation Licensing: All vendors and their technicians must be properly licensed to install low-voltage
systems in the State of Washington.
PROCESS & TIMELINE:
Firms submitting a response to the RFQ will be asked at a minimum, to state their qualifications,
understanding/experience relating to the procurement and installation of a new surveillance system for the
Tri-Cities Airport, Port Administration Building and Port’s Big Pasco Maintenance building.
Submit 5 hard copies in person or by mail to the Port of Pasco Administrative Office, 1110 Osprey
