Turnstile RFP and Specification Checklist

A source-ready checklist for defining scope, comparing bids, and exposing turnstile project unknowns before procurement.

How to use it: copy the prompts into the project brief, record the source and owner for every answer, and leave unknowns open. Do not substitute assumptions for manufacturer data, code review, or field verification.

Project and opening

• □ Name the facility, opening, project phase, stakeholder, and decision date.
• □ Record verified clear opening, floor condition, ceiling condition, and adjacent circulation.
• □ Identify indoor, outdoor, washdown, wind, corrosion, temperature, and vandalism exposure.

Operation and safety

• □ State staffed or unattended operation and normal direction for each lane.
• □ Document emergency egress and fire-alarm behavior for authority review.
• □ Define accessible route, alternate entry, visitor, delivery, and service workflows.

Controls and deliverables

• □ Name credential, reader, access-control panel, and responsible integration party.
• □ Request product data, drawings, power/data requirements, warranty, lead time, commissioning, training, and service terms.
• □ Require bidders to label exclusions, substitutions, assumptions, and source/date for performance claims.
