About this file

This is Addendum 4 to a Request for Proposals issued by the Dougherty County School System in Albany, Georgia for a Student ID Badge System (Project 031-PUR-2022). The addendum, issued March 11, 2022, amends the original bid dated February 14, 2022 and provides clarifications through vendor questions and answers. The document specifies that the District requires double-sided ID cards made of 30 mil thick plastic. The system must be compatible with the District's existing access control infrastructure, which uses Manchester encoded EM format cards with no facility code and a 40-bit number range that varies by date with newer cards assigned higher numbers. The revised due date for proposal submission is March 22, 2022.

The addendum confirms that the District has already acquired and installed tablets and RFID scanners from Tyler Technologies on school buses, which will serve as the hardware platform for the badge system. No hardware currently exists in classrooms or schools for scanning or tapping in student IDs. Vendors must ensure their solution interfaces with the existing Tyler Technologies VersaTrans system and the installed tablet and RFID scanner hardware on the buses. The addendum does not address pricing, funding sources, or contract term information.
