METRO bus depot retrofit
Rationale
CACHEDThe METRO Polk Street depot retrofit is a $1.4M commercial-renovation permit filed April 18 for yard cameras, fence upgrade, and a new operations-center vestibule at 1900 Main Street. The scope explicitly calls out surveillance infrastructure and perimeter hardening, which maps directly to Zedcor's camera-array and perimeter-security capability. The depot footprint and 24-hour operations profile also support vehicle-monitoring coverage for fleet ingress and egress. The Harris County permit filing marks the planning stage. Procurement on a municipal transit-authority project of this size typically opens 30-60 days post-permit, well before construction mobilization. METRO's capital-project workflow runs through a formal bid process, so the window between permit and solicitation is the last chance to shape scope before the RFP locks. The signal is early-stage and the timing is optimal for pre-budget engagement. Houston branch sits 3.3 miles from the site, inside core coverage radius. The most likely buying contact is METRO's facilities security director or the capital-projects manager overseeing the Polk Street depot. The recommended first move is a brief site-survey conversation focused on camera-array integration with METRO's existing central monitoring and on vehicle-monitoring coverage for the yard's fleet lanes, positioning for inclusion in the upcoming solicitation.
