AGY HSS and VMS Upgrade [T-8000-1516] RFP less NDA 090126.pdf

This is a Request for Proposals (RFP) issued by the Maryland Transit Administration (MTA), a component of the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT), seeking qualified vendors to upgrade the agency's existing video surveillance systems and migrate from an Aralia Video Management System (VMS) to a Genetec enterprise-based platform. The project encompasses the replacement of all Aralia on-site servers and network video recorders (NVRs) with hardware supporting the Genetec Enterprise VMS across multiple MTA sites, along with equipment procurement, installation, commissioning, and certification services. The upgrade will expand upon the existing Genetec Pilot Program infrastructure and configure the system as an enterprise solution. The RFP requires vendors to provide comprehensive proposals detailing their technical approach, implementation methodology, and pricing for this system transition.

The RFP solicits competitive bids from qualified entities capable of executing the hardware replacement and system migration while maintaining operational continuity across MTA facilities. Vendors must demonstrate expertise in both Aralia system decommissioning and Genetec enterprise VMS deployment, including proficiency in hardware configuration, network integration, and system certification. The project represents a significant infrastructure modernization effort funded through the Homeland Security Surveillance Program (HSSP), which originally initiated the existing video surveillance systems at MTA facilities. Successful completion of this upgrade will provide the MTA with an integrated, enterprise-level video management capability that standardizes surveillance operations across multiple transit locations while leveraging the foundation established by the pilot program implementation.
