Proposals are due on March 11, 2025, by 11:00 AM ET, with vendor questions due by February 20, 2025. The evaluation will assess proposals across six criteria: qualifications/experience (25 points), technical specifications (20 points), implementation plan (20 points), system description (15 points), security (15 points), and overall value (15 points). According to South Carolina Proviso H630, 1.116, the contractor will be limited to charging a maximum fee of $650 per school for initial mapping and annual maintenance services. The estimated total project value could potentially exceed $780,000, depending on the total number of public schools in the state, with the contractor responsible for all travel costs and required to provide annual training and implementation support to school districts and public safety agencies.
