C.1 Overview
The vendor is required to provide remote alcohol monitoring equipment and services complying with requirements stated in this solicitation, for offenders and defendants under community supervision by the United States Probation and Pretrial Services Offices for the District of Maryland (Judiciary or PPSO).
The vendor shall provide equipment that performs random alcohol testing in the defendant/offender’s home, as well as any location in the community. The equipment shall detect the presence of alcohol and shall have the capacity to wirelessly transmit results and alerts in real time. The device shall provide automated reminders and alerts for breath tests. The vendor shall continuously monitor equipment to ensure it remains in optimal operational condition and the vendor is responsible for providing alerts and taking other measures to mitigate consequences in the event of any malfunction in equipment provided by the vendor, or failure by the vendor to perform required services, under this contract. The vendor shall be responsible for replacing all lost, stolen or damaged equipment at no additional cost to the Judiciary.
The vendor must have demonstrated satisfactory performance of comparable projects for other agencies and provide references.
Remote Alcohol Monitoring Equipment Requirement - The device shall be capable of taking a deep lung sample from the participant’s breath and compare it to a calibrated breath alcohol standard which is stored in the system’s memory or video imaging solutions. The device shall also use facial recognition technology to confirm the individual’s identify during each breath test.
The system shall conduct tests that do not respond to natural gas or acetone and provide functionality to avoid false positives.
C.2 Testing Equipment Requirements
C.2.1 Fully tested Equipment. At the time of the proposal submission, all proposed monitoring equipment shall have passed beta testing. A beta test is a period in the development of hardware and software where it is tested by groups of people who would be typical users.
Defendant/offenders use the product normally and often report back on any problems that have (bugs) or with feedback on basic usability and navigation. Beta testing follows a period called an alpha test. Before the product can be released from beta testing, the product must be usable and no firmware and/or software changes necessary. Products that have not completed beta testing are unacceptable.
C.2.2 User Verification. The device shall verify the identity of the defendant/offender by utilizing a digital imaging recognition verification process.
C.2.3 Variable Testing Interval. The system shall provide for testing to be conducted at random or fixed intervals that can be set by the officer on a per defendant/offender basis based on the risk of the defendant/offender. They system must be capable of testing at least 4 scheduled and 2 random tests during a 24 hour period. The system’s testing intervals shall allow for testing that is randomly generated by computer, scheduled by the monitoring staff and/or conducted by the Probation Officer (officer).
C.2.4 Tamper Detection. The device shall include tamper detection features to detect and report tampering and ensure the PPSO receives accurate information. Tampers shall be reported to the officer as indicated in Section C.5.
C.2.5 Power Supply. The device shall contain a battery operated backup system that will permit the device to continue functioning for a minimum of 12 hours in the event of an electrical power outage and/or disconnection.
C.3 Monitoring Center Facility Requirements
C.3.1 Continuously Operating Monitoring System. The vendor shall provide a centrally located monitoring center with a monitoring system to receive, store, and disseminate information generated by the monitoring equipment and system. The vendor shall staff the monitoring center continuously, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and provide 24/7 technical assistance and/or troubleshooting capability
C.3.2 Facility Security. The monitoring center and/or facility shall be located at a secure location where access to the center and all records is restricted only to authorized individuals.
C.3.3 Security Safeguards for Monitoring System Information. The vendor shall implement security safeguards to prevent unauthorized access to monitoring data inside the monitoring facility by monitoring employees or other staff. The vendor shall provide a listing of the employees authorized to make changes or modify defendant/offender data or other government program settings should this be requested by the Contracting Officer (CO). The vendor shall also detail how the company determines and maintains this authorization to employees.
The network security strategies shall include:
(1) Intrusion detection which monitors and defends against known attacks, hackers and viruses.
A firewall
Web architecture that consists of an internet server that is kept separate from the internal computer systems
Anti-virus software on all servers.
Security patches from various hardware and software contractors applied to each system on a priority and timely basis in accordance with the identified risk.
(2) Redundant network and environmental facilities (e.g. power, HVAC) required for hardware and environ- mental systems.
(3) Automated system monitoring:
Monitoring System Availability
Monitoring System Availability, Unscheduled Downtime
(4) Comprehensive application monitoring tools that detect and report outages, inconsistent behavior, and daily activity.
C.3.3 Continuous Operational Plan. The vendor shall ensure continuous operation in the event of a server problem and/or natural disaster, including generating alerts, and maintaining the overall integrity of the data at all times. A redundant server capable of performing these functions at all times shall be in place at a separate location. In the event that remote access is temporarily inoperable, the vendor’s staff shall implement a contingency plan to manually detect and notify PPS Officers of all events and otherwise respond to all inquiries from PPS Officers. Internet sites shall be mobile and compatible with judiciary standard software, currently Windows 7, Windows 10, and Microsoft Office Suite 2010. The vendor shall provide immediate notification when the website returns to an operational state.
The vendor shall immediately notify the CO of any network, server, software, or equipment problem.
To support the vendor’s ability to monitor continuously and without interruption and to prevent data loss from system failure or disaster, strategies required to protect program data shall include the following:
Redundant electronic monitoring computer systems that include server architecture consisting of:
A primary server that has capability to “write” to a redundant server without any delay in event posting and/or notifications
The redundant server shall be located in the secondary data facility
Continuous copying of all data from the primary server copies to the separate redundant server so that both servers contain the same data at the same time. This ensures that no data is lost and there are no delays in event posting and notifications if the primary server fails. The architecture supports a disaster situation/solution, as well as providing a layer of isolation in the event of repairs or localized outages (network, virus containment) and during preventive maintenance.
In addition to the real-time backup of data to the redundant server, all data shall back up to tape
(CDs) on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. All weekly tapes (CDs) are to be kept at a secure offsite storage facility for five years. Daily and monthly tapes (CDs) are to be kept in a fireproof safe onsite, allowing the ability to re- store any monitoring system from the previous day’s data in the event of a system failure.
During any power outage or power surge, the vendor shall provide and employ generators to continue power through-put including uninterrupted power supply systems that can handle additional loads.
The vendor shall “suspend” charging the daily rate any time there are inoperable units which are not the fault of the government, including in the event of a natural disaster.
The vendor shall maintain a contingency plan for movement to a backup monitoring system within a minimum of 12 hours following a monitoring system malfunction. The plan shall be approved by the CO to any movement to a backup monitoring system.
C.3.4. Relocation. The vendor shall not relocate the monitoring center, or any of the operations of the monitoring center, to a separate location unless the CO is notified in advance and permitted to inspect the proposed location and operations for compliance with contract requirements.
C.3.5 Inspection. Upon request of the CO, the vendor shall demonstrate this capability through test or inspection.
C.4 Remote Access to Monitoring Data by Judiciary Personnel
C.4.1. Remotely Accessible Data Collection System. The vendor shall provide officers with the capability to remotely access upon demand (without need for intervention by or assistance from the vendor) the monitoring systems a\data and view, print, download, and enter/modify defendant/offender monitoring information. The officers will use government-furnished electronic communications transmission systems and protocols (e.g., File Transfer Protocol (FTP), Hyper Text Transport Protocol (HTTP, HTTPS, or email) to send and receive monitoring information to and from the vendor, and the vendor is not responsible for providing the electronic communications equipment used by officers for retrieving and transmitting information.
C.4.2 Data Fields for Customization. The vendor shall provide one or more additional definable fields to allow for local customization of the data collection system to allow the PPSO to input and maintain information it deems necessary. The vendor’s data system shall permit the user to query, sort and/or search the database by any field. The system shall have the capability to create a separate report containing case information for each officer’s assigned cases.
C.4.3 Optimal Automation. The remotely accessible system shall minimize the need for user interaction to create and store reports whenever possible. For example, the system should be capable of permitting scheduling automatic off-hours production of batches of reports. The system shall automatically retain at least the ten most recent updates to each record, and including recording the login ID of the user making the update and the date of update.
C.4.4 Management/Supervisor Access. The remotely accessible system shall provide a separate management/supervisor interface that allows PPSO supervisors to effectively oversee usage of the monitoring system by officers that they supervise. The system shall provide supervisor’s reports, including caseload by officer, total units, inventory control, and names of defendant/offenders and number of days removed for violation.
C.4.5 System Security. The remotely accessible system shall have an adequate security infrastructure to prevent unauthorized users from gaining access to defendant/offender data. The system shall have an appropriate security monitoring system at multiple levels (e.g., HTTPS, SSL, firewall, database). The security system shall provide information on attempted intrusions and other relevant or useful information that can be reported for further investigation and referral for criminal action. The vendor shall provide security codes to the remote users to guarantee the security of data modifications made remotely or over communications systems/lines with the monitoring system or manually on the telephone through a monitoring center employee.
C.4.6 The remotely accessible database/system shall capture each officer's access and utilization of the system and provide to officers the ability to effect defendant/offender enrollment/removal and modification, and to review co-payment summaries, daily alert summary reports and other customized monthly reports identified by the CO.
C.4.7 Contingency Plan for System Failure. The vendor shall maintain contingency plans for system failures, and shall provide copies of such plans to the CO, upon request.
C.5 Notification of Failed Tests and Noncompliance with Equipment

4-170 Limitations of Judiciary's Obligation JUN 2014
(a) Contract line item(s) ______ is/are incrementally funded. The sum of [$_______] is presently available for payment and allotted to this contract. An allotment schedule is contained in paragraph (j) of this clause.
(b) For item(s) identified in paragraph (a) of this clause, the Contractor agrees to perform up to the point at which the total amount payable by the judiciary, including reimbursement in the event of termination of those item(s) for the judiciary’s convenience, approximates the total amount currently allotted to the contract. The Contractor is not authorized to continue work on those item(s) beyond that point. The judiciary will not be obligated in any event to reimburse the
Contractor in excess of the amount allotted to the contract for those item(s) regardless of anything to the contrary in the clause entitled “Termination for Convenience of the Judiciary.”
As used in this clause, the total amount payable by the judiciary in the event of termination of applicable contract line item(s) for convenience includes costs, profit, and estimated termination settlement costs for those item(s).
(c) Notwithstanding the dates specified in the allotment schedule in paragraph (j) of this clause, the Contractor will notify the contracting officer in writing at least ninety days prior to the date when, in the Contractor’s best judgment, the work will reach the point at which the total amount payable by the judiciary, including any cost for termination for convenience, will approximate 85 percent of the total amount then allotted to the contract for performance of the applicable item(s).
The notification will state: (1) the estimated date when that point will be reached; and (2) an estimate of additional funding, if any, needed to continue performance of applicable line items up to the next scheduled date for allotment of funds identified in paragraph (j) of this clause, or to a mutually agreed upon substitute date. The notification will also advise the contracting officer of the estimated amount of additional funds that will be required for the timely performance of the item(s) funded pursuant to this clause, for a subsequent period as may be specified in the allotment schedule in paragraph (j) of this clause or otherwise agreed to by the parties. If after such notification additional funds are not allotted by the date identified in the Contractor’s notification, or by an agreed substitute date, the contracting officer will terminate any item(s) for which additional funds have not been allotted, pursuant to the clause of this contract entitled
“Termination for Convenience of the Judiciary.”
(d) When additional funds are allotted for continued performance of the contract line item(s) identified in paragraph (a) of this clause, the parties will agree as to the period of contract performance which will be covered by the funds. The provisions of paragraphs (b) through (d) of this clause will apply in like manner to the additional allotted funds and agreed substitute date, and the contract will be modified accordingly.
(e) If, solely by reason of failure of the judiciary to allot additional funds, by the dates indicated below, in amounts sufficient for timely performance of the contract line item(s) identified in paragraph (a) of this clause, the Contractor incurs additional costs or is delayed in the performance of the work under this contract and if additional funds are allotted, an equitable adjustment will be made in the price or prices (including appropriate target, billing, and ceiling prices where applicable) of the item(s), or in the time of delivery, or both. Failure to agree to any such equitable adjustment hereunder will be a dispute concerning a question of fact within the meaning of the clause entitled “Disputes.”
(f) The judiciary may at any time prior to termination allot additional funds for the performance of the contract line item(s) identified in paragraph (a) of this clause.
(g) The termination provisions of this clause do not limit the rights of the judiciary under the clause entitled “Termination for Default.” The provisions of this clause are limited to the work and allotment of funds for the contract line item(s) set forth in paragraph (a) of this clause. This clause no longer applies once the contract is fully funded except with regard to the rights or obligations of the parties concerning equitable adjustments negotiated under paragraphs (d) and
(e) of this clause.
(h) Nothing in this clause affects the right of the judiciary to terminate this contract pursuant to the clause of this contract entitled “Termination for Convenience of the Judiciary.”
