ESS requirements vary from project to project and differ at each activity.  Installation of an ESS including designating protected areas/zones shall be indicated in the Project Program.  If an ESS is required, coordinate requirements with Project Manager and Base and Regional Security Personnel.
 
The following is provided for guidance only and should be edited accordingly to suit each project. ESS shall be fully coordinated and defined by the RFP writer and not left up to the design builder.
 
For Marine Corps projects, provide infrastructure support only.  Coordination with Commandant Marine Corps (CMC) is required.

An Electronic Security System (ESS) is the integrated electronic system that encompasses one or more of the following subsystems; access control system (ACS), intrusion detection system (IDS), and closed circuit television (CCTV) systems for assessment of alarm conditions.

D509090 OTHER SPECIAL SYSTEMS AND DEVICES

NOTE:  400-Hertz power requirements shall be determined by the RFP writer based on user requirements. Aircraft power requirements have changed drastically recently (kVA and power quality requirements have generally increased) and values and requirements indicated in UFC 4-121-10N and UFC 3-555-01N may not be accurate. New aircraft may contain an individual power monitor that disconnects the aircraft from ground power when voltages exceed very specific requirements and the trend is to provide individual stand-alone units per each aircraft in lieu of the original distribution system as called for in the UFCs. Several new aircraft (E2C Hawkeye 2000 for instance) now also require two separate power sources due to the power monitor requirements. RFP writer shall include specific equipment requirements including number of units, kVA, requirements, etc.
