Camera_Layouts.pdf

This file is a camera layouts attachment (Attachment I) prepared by the City of Santa Monica Department of Transportation for the Request for Proposals for Onboard Bus Video Surveillance System for the Big Blue Bus fleet. The attachment demonstrates current camera placement configurations across multiple bus models within the 173-vehicle fleet. However, the document explicitly notes that diagrams for each bus model are not fully available and advises proposers to prioritize the minimum coverage requirements specified in the scope of work rather than relying solely on the existing camera placements shown in the diagrams. Proposers are instructed to ensure comprehensive coverage with no blind spots in their system designs.

The attachment serves as a reference document to inform system design proposals but is not intended to constrain or dictate proposer solutions. The emphasis on meeting minimum coverage requirements and eliminating blind spots indicates that the City prioritizes functional coverage over replicating legacy camera placement patterns. This guidance is critical for proposers developing system architecture for buses ranging from 30-foot to 60-foot articulated vehicles, particularly given the technical requirement for a minimum of eight cameras on standard buses and ten cameras on articulated buses, with at least one 4K forward-facing camera per vehicle as specified in the broader RFP scope.
