About this file

This document is an Exhibit A Technical Requirements Matrix for a Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) and Mobile Data System Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by the Nebraska State Patrol (NSP), identified as RFP 7194 Z1. The comprehensive matrix details extensive technical requirements across multiple modules including CAD, Mobile, Interfaces, and system capabilities. The RFP seeks a solution that supports a statewide CAD environment with multiple dispatch centers, capable of managing 197,500 annual calls, supporting 21 combined call taker/dispatcher positions, and serving 7 law areas with 2 dispatched agencies. The system must integrate with numerous existing technologies, support Next Generation 9-1-1 standards, provide real-time mapping and routing, enable comprehensive reporting, and facilitate multi-agency operations.

The technical matrix reveals a complex technological ecosystem requiring robust integration capabilities, with specific requirements for data entry, user interfaces, mapping, automatic vehicle location (AVL), emergency button functionality, and extensive query capabilities. The proposed system must support 350 mobile users across multiple platforms (PC, Android, iOS), interface with over 20 existing systems including state and national databases, and provide comprehensive security and audit logging. The matrix indicates a preference for a solution that offers multi-factor authentication, flexible configuration options, offline capabilities, and advanced features like automatic narrative generation, extensive quality assurance tools, and seamless data exchange between CAD, mobile, and records management systems.
