NEMA 4X Enclosures

The City of Pembroke Pines is seeking bids from qualified firms, hereinafter referred to as the Contractor, to What is the procurement purpose? , in accordance with the terms, conditions, and specifications contained in this solicitation. The City seeks to purchase 12 complete NEMA 4X outdoor enclosures, fully sealed and climate-controlled, suitable for housing Cradlepoint E300 routers with 5U rack space to accommodate switching gear, UPS units, and future expansions. These enclosures will be factory-configured with integrated HVAC and are to be installed by City personnel; IT provisioning will be handled by the Municipal Security Unit. The City is expanding its surveillance and traffic management network by deploying cloud-managed video and IoT camera systems at multiple outdoor locations. These systems rely on Cradlepoint E300 routers to provide resilient 5G/LTE connectivity, remote management, and SD-WAN security—all essential for maintaining real‑time video feeds and centralized monitoring of City-owned assets . To ensure uninterrupted operation, each location requires a rugged, weather-resistant enclosure that protects critical electronics from environmental threats, such as rain, windblown dust, icing, and corrosion, while maintaining internal temperatures suitable for optimal performance. NEMA 4X-rated enclosures fulfill these requirements, offering the necessary ingress protection and durability for outdoor equipment. The existing installations have utilized aluminum enclosures with integrated HVAC to house the Cradlepoint E300, 5U of switching and power equipment, and a UPS. This project aims to procure 12 fully AC-equipped, NEMA 4X outdoor enclosures (DDB OD-30DXC or equivalent). These units will support reliable and secure installations with the capacity for future system growth, while ensuring consistent environmental protection and optimal remote networking performance.
