About this file

The document is an Appendix T Solution Requirements spreadsheet for Sacramento County's Digital Signage Kiosk System Request for Proposal (RFP #2025-RFP-0045R). The county is seeking to replace two indoor digital signage kiosks in the main lobby of the County Administration Building, with proposals due on October 24, 2025, at 5:00 pm. The project requires a comprehensive cloud-based digital signage solution with centralized management, capable of displaying public meeting agendas, legal notices, building directories, county news, elected official information, date and time, and weather forecasts. The system must include two commercial-grade 55-inch touchscreen kiosks that are ADA compliant and support 24/7 operation, with the project expected to be completed prior to April 2026.

The RFP does not specify explicit set-aside designations or identify an incumbent vendor. Vendors must provide a detailed cost breakdown across multiple categories, including project management, professional services, hardware, software licensing, documentation, training, and support. The pricing schedule allows for perpetual or term-based software licensing with support pricing options for up to five years. Proposers must demonstrate at least five years of continuous business operations, hold valid California business licenses, and provide professional certifications. The evaluation will consider technical requirements, vendor experience, references, and a solution demonstration, with factors beyond price playing a significant role in vendor selection. Vendors are also required to complete a Risk Assessment Questionnaire and provide at least three customer references, with mandatory requirements that two references be from public sector organizations of comparable or larger size.
