CHAPTER 10
MODEL DESIGN APPROACH
10-1
INTRODUCTION
10-1.1
Other documents provide guidance or directives on design and construction
of DoD facilities. This chapter presents a model approach on how to design an ESS.
The intent of this chapter is not to set new directives, but rather to communicate a
process that works well.
10-1.2
Two principal project approaches are design-bid-build and design-build. The
model design process outlined in this chapter is applicable to both approaches.
10-2
PROJECT PLANNING
10-2.1
As discussed in Chapter 2, ESS is a portion of the portion of the overall
physical security scheme for a facility and should be integrated into the overall physical
protection plan.
10-2.2
Balance project funding and project scope. Heightened levels of a security
system provide increased resistance to intrusion and attack. Increased security brings
increased construction costs and complexity. The more complex the system, the more
the cost of operation and maintenance will increase. The level of security elements and
security requirements need to be identified and reconciled with project funds early in a
project. The design team's challenge is to balance security requirements with life safety,
convenience, maintenance, and operational costs.
10-2.3
Locating and obtaining CAD backgrounds for site plans and affected buildings
should be an early activity. If possible the CAD backgrounds should be provided after
contract award and before the kickoff meeting of a project. This will allow the ESS
designer or design-builder to have a more effective kickoff meeting. Early in the design
process, the ESS designer should conduct site surveys to verify the accuracy of the
existing CAD backgrounds and site conditions.
10-2.4
Site surveys. Capacity assessment of existing systems:
10-2.4.1 ACS: how many spare card reader slots are available at what panels?
10-2.4.2 What type of credential is used?
10-2.4.3 Is there badging (issuing new badges) capability?
10-2.4.4 CCTV: how many spare camera ports back at central server?
10-2.4.5 Is archiving capability present?
10-2.4.6 IDS: any expansion capability?
