8707 Addendum 2.pdf

This is Addendum #2 to the solicitation for a Server for Forensics, issued by the City of Madison Finance Department Purchasing Services on behalf of the City of Madison Police Department Computer Forensics Shared Resources Partnership (C.F.S.R.P.). The addendum addresses a clarification to a previously answered question regarding networking port specifications. The original response in Addendum #1 stated that a minimum of 48 ethernet ports was required; however, Addendum #2 provides the more specific technical requirement that a minimum of 48 port 10GB Ethernet switch is needed. All bidders must acknowledge receipt of this addendum on RFP Form B, Receipt Forms and Submittal Checklist as part of their bid submission. The C.F.S.R.P., which serves both the City of Madison Police Department and the Dane County Sheriff's Office, is seeking a forensic network evidence server to replace the existing Digital Intelligence FREDC Datacenter installed in 2013 and to store digital device images and associated work product for law enforcement analysis purposes.

The addendum does not contain pricing information, set-asides, or specific contract term details. However, the underlying solicitation requires that the server meet outlined evidentiary and operational specifications and be accompanied by installation, configuration services, and prompt technical support. Bidders should direct questions to Brian Pittelli, City of Madison Purchasing Services, at (608) 267-4969 or bpittelli@cityofmadison.com. The addendum was issued on March 23, 2018, and represents a clarification to ensure all bidders have accurate technical specifications for their proposals.
