Questions Answers

1. Network

a. Will the Vendor have access to FDC network (LAN) and remote access from our offices in Florida?

1. Can the Vendor install equipment (servers) in local

Officer Control Room and/or the Server room?

b. Can the Vendor have remote and local live access to existing cameras?

a. No, the vendor will not have access to the Department’s network. Please see Section 3.6.2, Information Technology (IT) Requirements, IT 01 and IT 05.

b. No, please see Section 3.6.2, IT Requirements No. 05.

2. Building

a. Please estimate how frequent power and network outages are.

b. What is the typical power and network outage duration (ave and max) before the generator power is applied?

c. During the mandatory site visit, the Vendor observed that the proposed inmate housing unit has a relatively low ceiling with what appears to be a suspended ceiling system. To support successful installation and optimal operation of the proposed solution, would the Department be willing to work collaboratively with the successful Vendor during implementation to evaluate reasonable site accommodations, such as access to or modification of the space above the suspended ceiling, or use of an alternative inmate housing unit if a more suitable location is available?

b. The Department does not collect this information. The institution is equipped with an emergency generator in the event of a power outage.

Questions Answers

3. Performance Measures

a. ITN § 3.8, PM 06 states that the remote interdiction system “shall not malfunction in any way that would cause an unauthorized or unnecessary Use of Force” and imposes a financial consequence of $100,000 per occurrence. Given that Department personnel will monitor the system, authorize its use, and retain the ability to stop its operation, will the Department permit PM 06 to be discussed and negotiated during the Negotiations phase of the ITN so that the Department and the Vendor may collaboratively define what constitutes an “unauthorized or unnecessary Use of Force” and a system “malfunction,” establish how responsibility will be determined, and agree upon an appropriate financial consequence?

a. The Department and vendors may discuss final contract terms and conditions during the negotiations.

4. Historical Data

a. Can the Vendor have access to a corpus of video data for video analytic and AI model training purposes?

a. No, the Department cannot provide this information.

Questions Answers

5. Recording

a. ITN § 5.22 cites GS1-SL for record retention, but GS1- SL has no record series for surveillance/use-of-force video

— it only covers contract and administrative records.

Which schedule governs pilot video and sensor data (GS2, an FDC individual schedule, or another authority)?

b. GPM 01, Item 13 already lists “vendor cloud” as an acceptable inference/storage location to propose for approval — given that, does CJIS Security Policy apply to this video and sensor data, and if so, does that restrict off-site or vendor-cloud storage?

c. Does FDC have a mandatory access-control standard for forensic data?

a. GS1-SL covers several different types of records for State and Local Governments, including but not limited to Item #302 Surveillance Recordings. The Department and the Contractor may further clarify record retention requirements during negotiations.

b. All data must be maintained in a CJIS-compliant manner.

Off-site or vendor-cloud storage may be permitted.

Please see Section 3.6.1, General Program Management Requirements (GPM), GPM 01, and Section 3.6.2, Information Technology (IT) Requirements, IT 01.

c. The Department and vendors may clarify access-control standards for forensic data during negotiations.

6. Showers/Bathrooms

a. FDC currently does not utilize cameras inside bathroom areas. Would the Department permit the Vendor, as an optional enhancement, to provide cameras in these areas that use privacy masking to blur inmate genitalia and buttocks while allowing monitoring intended to help deter assaults, PREA incidents, contraband distribution, and other unauthorized activities?

b. Are there additional redaction/anonymization requirements?

a. The Department and the vendor may discuss the viability of camera options covering bathroom areas that protect

Inmate privacy.

b. The Department and the vendor may discuss further requirements based on solutions proposed by the vendor.
