Hey, a friend of mine is applying for a business operating license in a lottery type awarded environment, where the state requires full blown security system with access control, CCTV, monitoring, etc.
Problem is that they (state agency) will not give him specifics, beyond what I'm posting below.
Also, because of the type of business he's applying for, we can't do state search or request a copy of prior, approved applications to see what others have used/stated on successful applications.
I've been doing security, access control and CCTV in resi and small business environments for years, but this is the first request for something of this nature.
I'm hoping to get an RFQ/IFB from someone so that I don't spend 50 hours of unbillable time designing a system that may never get off the ground if their application gets denied.
