About this file
The City of Waco, Texas has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP No. 2025-028) for an Automated Range Target System for the Waco Police Department. The RFP seeks a turnkey targeting solution capable of rotating up to 30 targets simultaneously, with targets able to turn 180 degrees independently or as a group. The system must support remote operation via computer, laptop, tablet, or mobile device, and be designed to withstand outdoor environmental conditions in Central Texas. The pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for April 15, 2025, at 10:00 A.M. at 7801 Steinbeck Bend, Waco, TX, with proposal submissions due by May 2, 2025, at 2:00 P.M. CT. The city intends to finalize vendor selection and award the contract to allow for installation during the final two weeks of July 2025.
The RFP includes a pricing sheet with options for the base turnkey target system and additional add-ons such as extended warranty, scheduled maintenance, a rugged control tablet, and future expansion capabilities for additional targets. Evaluation will be based on a 100-point scoring system, with 60 points for pricing, 10 points for proposed duration, 10 points for experience with similar projects, 10 points for product durability, and 10 points for the proposer's reputation. The contract will be awarded by the Waco City Council if the amount exceeds $50,000, or by the City Manager for contracts under that threshold. Vendors must complete various forms including a Conflict of Interest Questionnaire, Minority/Women Owned Business Certification, and certifications regarding debarment, non-collusion, and compliance with Texas state laws.
