SECTION C: STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

1.0 Project Title

Computer Aided Dispatch Information System (CADIS)

1.1 Introduction

This Statement of Work (SOW) document outlines the current high-level functional and technical requirements of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), National Protection Programs Directorate (NPPD), Federal Protective Services (FPS), and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Office of the Chief Information Officer’s (OCIO) integration, configuration and deployment utilizing an approved System Development Lifecycle methodology to implement CADIS.

2.0 BACKGROUND

FPS is responsible for providing security and law enforcement services for federal facilities. The role of CADIS is to support the FPS Law Enforcement Mission by:

Automating the FPS MegaCenter dispatch operation: The MegaCenters are the vital communications link between FPS Law Enforcement Officers (LEOs), federal facilities, contract guards at the entrance to the facilities, and emergency responders, providing 24 –hour security alarm monitoring and dispatch functions.

Currently, FPS manages dispatches and incidents from four MegaCenters located in Denver, Colorado; Battle Creek, Michigan; Suitland, Maryland; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and 11 regional offices. This dispatch and incident response solution was originally developed to support mission needs in a non-automated process. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) and FPS have determined that the current infrastructure no longer meets organizational requirements and does not adequately support the FPS Mission in the following ways:

· Manual Processes where automation is available to enhance performance

· Unreliable and non-standardized data management between MegaCenters

· Lack of a Geographic Information System (GIS)

· Lack of performance measurement capabilities

· Limited emergency fail-over and load sharing capabilities

· Dependence on individuals with domain knowledge

Providing access to information and robust reporting functionality to FPS Law Enforcement Personnel: In order to eliminate the current deficiencies and to address the new law enforcement requirements, CADIS must replace the current Daily Operations Log (DOL) and Web Records Management (WebRMS) systems and include the following three components:

1) Computer aided dispatch

2) Records management

3) Geographic information CADIS is aligned with the DHS and FPS Strategic Plans:

· DHS Strategic Goal of “Strengthen Our Nation's Preparedness and Emergency Response Capabilities”

· FPS Strategic Goal of “Collaborative Partnerships and Effective Communications and Efficient and Stakeholder-oriented Law Enforcement and Security Services”

2.1 EnVISIONED CAPABILITY

To eliminate current functionality gaps and to address new law enforcement requirements a new system is needed that will automate core FPS law enforcement business processes and will result in a more standardized, integrated, and efficient national information technology solution for FPS. The system must provide a level of scalability and compatibility with other DHS, ICE, and FPS systems and shall always be in compliance with emerging DHS enterprise architecture. Further, the system must reflect the seamless integration of the following three functional components:

1) Computer aided dispatch of personnel dispatching in response to incidents

2) RMS to collect, share, and report incident information based on National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS) standards. A system to conduct efficient call center management, which includes automated data collection, calls routing, viewing call history, etc.

3) Geospatial Information to display relevant neighborhood information, improve routing and track vehicles. FPS does not currently have GPS Vehicle Location Devices. The Mobile Computing Device(s) (MCD) used as the client computer for CADIS will not have GPS capability. FPS anticipates this integration as a future capability.

FPS requires 2D views of building interiors and exteriors. CADIS must be capable of routing response vehicles and tracking response vehicles. This is also an anticipated future capability. CADIS does not have to provide establishment of cordons, do blast plume monitoring, or building evacuation modeling. The Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) database will provide the GIS data. It has been established for use by the Risk Assessment Management Program (RAMP) system. CADIS will get the GIS data from the ESRI database.

DHS Geospatial Information System Compliance: All implementations shall comply with the policies and requirements set forth in the DHS Geospatial Information Infrastructure (GII), including (but not limited to) the following:

· The DHS geospatial data model shall be used building to the GII.

· All data within the GII, whether adopted or developed, shall be submitted to the DHS Enterprise Data Management Office (EDMO) for review and insertion into the DHS Data Reference Model.

The FPS CADIS will eliminate the deficiencies mentioned above and will return many critical hours of resources. CADIS shall have the capability to collect, modify, store, retrieve, and process record management and geographic information data via a report management function and a record management system. It will improve FPS officer safety, as the current manual processes will be automated; reducing the chances of critical errors by removing the extensive liability that currently exists with the dispatchers. Additionally, CADIS will provide intelligent resources in reporting information that is needed to make knowledgeable business decisions and aid in criminal analysis, helping FPS’ efforts in providing preventative security measures.

CADIS will interface with the Security Information System (SIS) for processing of all electronic security systems being monitored, including Intrusion Detection System (IDS) and Access Control System (ACS) alarms, and fire alarms. Future spirals or enhancements may follow this contract to provide additional functionality and will be identified later. (See Interface E in section 5.9) CADIS will consolidate geographically and functionally alarm inputs, the dispatch decision-making and recordkeeping sites, and dispatch communications hub for FPS. CADIS will be able to dispatch from four FPS MegaCenters to any LEO within the United States and its territories.

Specifically, the system shall:

· Be fully NIBRS compliant.

· Implement a system availability of 99.999 percent when measured on a 24-hour per day, seven day a week basis for 365 days. Processor, disk storage, and power supply redundancy may be required in order to achieve the desired availability and protection of information. The system shall be configured such that operating a training component and/or running reports will not affect system response time. This availability requirement applies to both dispatch capabilities and record management components. There is no requirement for offline capability for dispatch functions.

· Interface with external applications and data sources such as the FPS Risk Assessment Management Program (RAMP), National Crime Information Center (NCIC), and other systems, as listed in section 5.9.

· Have the ability to push the client application via the DHS network to desktops and Mobile Computing Devices (MCD) utilizing Big Fix.

· Allow a user the ability to access the application, download appropriate information and forms relating to incidents, and submit the necessary information without re-keying information.

· Allow the capability to be directly expandable by adding hardware and Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) modules.

· Include a feature for backup, archival and recovery capability without taking CADIS out of service and with minimal impact on dispatch operations.

· Provide the capability for users to work offline in the event of connectivity failures, and the capability to continue to work off-line in the event the failure occurs in the middle of a session without any data loss, and to upload saved offline data when connectivity is re-established. All solutions must meet DHS Regulation 4300A. Therefore, CADIS may not be based on a peer-to-peer architecture.

· Contain data exporting capabilities. CADIS must have the capability to export data in industry standard database formats to facilitate providing data to other databases controlled by DHS and/or other Government entities.

· Be able to generate standard automated forms and templates to be used by all regions; such as incident report, spot report, etc.

· Contain a wide variety of reports and statistical information for analysis and management reporting and/or reporting requirements in real time.

· Allow ad-hoc, dynamically generated reports such that code modifications are not required for each new report.

· CADIS will integrate with an ESRI database and use data provided by that system

· Archiving: Any active records shall be indefinitely available, anything that has a disposition or is closed, minimum 12 months

2.2 CADIS Deployment Considerations

The Contractor shall be aware of the following consideration as it relates to the deployment of CADIS:

2.2.1 CADIS will initially be hosted in the FPS MegaCenters and eventually move to the DHS datacenter..

2.2.2 Geographic locations of clients:

1) Law Enforcement Officers (LEO) use Mobile Computing Devices (MCS). LEOs are located throughout the United States and its territories (Estimated 600 mobile clients). MCDs are Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) . MCD specifications are provided as an attachment.

2) Dispatch clients are located in the MegaCenters in Denver, Colorado; Battle Creek, Michigan; Suitland, Maryland; and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. There are approximately 30 desktop computers at each of the MegaCenters. CADIS will initially be hosted in the FPS MegaCenters and eventually move to the DHS datacenter. Dispatch workstations are provided and are GFE. Dispatch workstation specifications are to be provided by the vendor and approved by the Government.

3) Regional/Reporting Clients are located nationwide but organized into eleven regions plus the Headquarters office in Washington, DC and the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC).

2.2.3 Software deployments shall be arranged at various locations in each region, however, all clients, stationery and mobile, shall have the ability to install the required software, upgrades and patches using the existing DHS network and ICE-owned Big Fix utilities. Follow up with individual users for completion of installation will be accomplished by FPS personnel.

2.2.4 Mobile Computing Devices (MCDs):

The appropriate software shall be installed and configured on existing mobile computing devices used by the law enforcement users. MCD’s will connect to the DHS network via a Sprint AirCard or may be connected to the ICE network via a Local Area Network at a regional office or at a MegaCenter. When connected to the ICE network via the AirCard, a VPN Token is used to provide a secure connection. MCDs do not have GPS capability built in.

2.2.5 The system shall have the capability to integrate alarm location, floor plans and building data. CADIS will interface to the ESRI database to obtain floor plan and alarm data for approximately 9000 buildings. There are one to many floors in each building. This capability will be delayed from the initial deployment, and may be implemented in Option Year 2 or later of the CADIS implementation.

2.3 Best practice implementation of cadis product

It is the intent of FPS to adapt to the current industry best practices as it relates to the FPS operating procedures and the operating environment of CADIS. Implementing CADIS will enable key FPS stakeholders the opportunity to assess current operating procedures against any productivity gains that can be realized through the introduction of automation. Consequently, neither a blanket “technology driving the process,” nor a “process driving the technology” approach will be embraced, but a balanced approach that seriously evaluates the cost/benefit trade-off in moving from current to new operating procedures.

3.0 SCOPE OF WORK

The Contractor shall perform work in accordance with this SOW and exercise a methodical approach to planning, organizing and managing resources to procure and provide all labor, software licenses and materials to successfully integrate, provide training, deliver and deploy a robust, expandable, and scalable enterprise-level COTS based system.

5.3 SOFTWARE Configuration and Implementation support

The Contractor shall deploy and integrate a COTS system that provides a level of scalability and compatibility with other DHS, ICE, and FPS systems and is in compliance with current DHS/ICE enterprise architecture.

Within 45 business days after contract award, the Contractor shall provide an initial report detailing their architectural and COTS based system configuration approach, implementation strategy, COTS/GOTS SLM documentation/review approach, and their ability to reinforce other ICE mission applications. This information shall be included in the Project Management Plan.

The Contractor shall provide software and hardware implementation in compliance with the CMMI Level 2 standards. The Government estimates that a minimum of 600 concurrent users shall be able to access all CADIS applications at regional offices, from dispatch workstations, and MCDs. An Enterprise license is required to support the minimum projected user base. Consider that CADIS has a maximum potential projected user base of about 1250 users across the 50 states and territories. When costing CADIS client licenses, the Government anticipates licenses will be priced based on user roles. There are approximately 900 LEOs who will utilize MCDs. There are approximately 125 dispatchers. The Government currently anticipates that of the 600 concurrent users, 100 would be dispatchers and 900 would be LEOs.

The Contractor shall:

· Provide implementation support of the CADIS at all four MegaCenters located in Denver, Colorado; Battle Creek, Michigan; Suitland, Maryland; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Glynco/FLETC Training Center, Washington DC, and 11 regional offices. CADIS will initially be hosted in the FPS MegaCenters and eventually move to the DHS datacenters.

· CADIS is fully operational at four MegaCenters: Suitland, MD, Battle Creek, MI, Philadelphia, PA, and Denver, CO. Each MegaCenter dispatches personnel to its own region(s). The MegaCenters operate in pairs, such that if one of the pair is down, the other takes over dispatching for the other. Suitland is paired with Battlecreek. Philadelphia is paired with Denver. None of the MegaCenters provides backup for a MegaCenter outside the pairing. For example, If Suitland is down, Battle Creek takes over their dispatching and vise versa. But Suitland does not take over dispatching for Denver or Philadelphia. Therefore, all four MegaCenters function as both a primary and a single backup site. When a MegaCenter is acting as a backup site, it is considered the Disaster Recovery site.

· Incorporate workflow capability and flexibility; Support FPS in their development of operational procedures to support the new CADIS capabilities.

· Integrate software that will allow users to view available historical data for each individual system user.

· Integrate software that will allow for broader search/query capabilities, avoiding and/or eliminating the need to continually require ad-hoc code writing.

· Design the software with internal flagging capability based on incident reporting. These flags would permit prioritizing leads to be pursued by the FPS Inspectors or other Federal law enforcement entities.

· Allow users to access and interact with the CADIS application.

· Conduct the necessary testing in accordance with the ICE SLM Pre-defined Work Pattern for COTS/GOTS products to ensure functional capability and ease of use.

· Maintain software development libraries to facilitate the development, testing, and implementation of software.

· Follow detailed guidance contained within the FRD regarding system functional requirements and timing for delivery of functionality.

· Design the application and development and test environments in compliance with ICE OCIO Application Hosting Services (AHS) such that it can be hosted at the MegaCenters. CADIS will initially be hosted in the FPS MegaCenters and eventually move to the DHS datacenters.

The Contractor shall prepare for and participate in SLM reviews to ascertain progress in defining system technical requirements; determine systems engineering direction and progress, and the degree of convergence on a balanced, complete configuration.

5.4 CADIS Deployment Considerations

The Contractor shall be aware of the following considerations as they relate to the deployment of CADIS:

5.4.1 The CADIS servers and system shall be completely installed, tested, implemented, and operational for at least three months in the four FPS MegaCenters, prior to deploying to the MCD users.

5.4.2 All dispatch and system administrator users shall be trained prior to operational implementation of the system.

5.4.3 Geographic locations of clients:

1) Dispatch clients are located in the MegaCenters in Denver, Colorado; Battle Creek, Michigan; Suitland, Maryland; and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. All workstations are considered GFE.

2) Regional/Reporting Clients, including mobile and desktop users, are located nationwide but organized into eleven regions plus the Headquarters office in Washington, DC.

5.4.4 All upgrades and patches to CADIS software shall be deployed to desktop computers and mobile clients using the existing DHS network and Big Fix utilities. Follow up with individual users for completion of installation will be accomplished by FPS personnel.

5.4.5 Mobile Computing Devices (MCDs):

The appropriate software shall be installed and configured on existing mobile computing devices used by the law enforcement users. MCD specifications will be provided as an attachment to this SOW. Deployment to MCDs is to occur no sooner than three months after successful implementation of the system in the MegaCenters. All LEO users shall be trained prior to distribution and implementation of the system to desktop and mobile computers.

5.5 DATA MIGRATION and transition

The Contractor shall plan and execute a successful data migration and transition effort, migrating a total of approximately 800,000 records from the current legacy DOL and a total of 33,000 records from WebRMS systems to CADIS. Prepare a detailed Data Migration and Transition Plan as defined by the SLM, making use of a structured multi-phase methodology that includes multiple (a) Data Discovery; (b) Analysis, Mapping and Planning; (c) Data Extraction, Translation and Load (ETL) Strategy and Planning; (d) Mock Conversions, Cleansing and Validation; and (e) Full Migration and Deployment phases. File formats for DOL and WebRMS will be provided during the post-award requirements definition phase of the project. Based on the outcome of the requirements definition effort, the Government may determine that it is not in its best interest to migrate historical data.

5.6 OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE (O&M)

The Contractor shall fully maintain the CADIS application system and software developed under this task. Tasks include, but are not limited to the following:

5.10 INTERFACES:

CADIS will have the capability to interface with the systems below. Separately propose costs to interface CADIS with each of the following third-party systems. It is the intent of the Government to incorporate some of the interfaces for implementation and delivery with the initial contract award, and others at a later date. Regardless, the Government may unilaterally exercise any, all, or none of these interfaces. Detail functional specification for these interfaces will be developed during the functional requirements definition phase of the project.

5.10.1 Interfaces Expected Upon Initial Deployment

The following interfaces are expected to be operational upon the initial deployment of CADIS.

INTERFACE A: Risk Assessment Management Program (RAMP) Optional – to be negotiated, do not price

CADIS components shall interface with and automate data received from the FPS RAMP system. RAMP is the centralized source of information used by FPS for risk assessment and management including all information on federal facilities, contact information, and much more. RAMP is the system of record for FPS. CADIS will access building information, including building number, address, contact information and other general information from RAMP. The CADIS-RAMP interface must be able to parse the data, update call records in the CADIS, populate the CADIS screens, update RMS, and provide address data to GIS. The final deliverable product will be the successful integration of CADIS and RAMP through integration, certification, and “live” demonstrated operation.

interface B: Post Tracking System (PTS) Optional – to be negotiated, do not price

CADIS components shall interface with and automate data received from the FPS PTS. PTS is the centralized source of information used by FPS for tracking whether guard posts are manned as required. PTS’s purpose is to ensure that the Contractors are meeting the requirements of their contracts, such as ensuring that guard posts are staffed with guards that meet the Government’s training and certification requirements. PTS information is used to compare, reconcile, and certify the invoices submitted by the Contractors prior to payment.

The CADIS-PTS interface must be able to provide CADIS with guard post information such as guard post location, the name of the guard manning the post, and the guard post contact information. The final deliverable product will be the successful integration of CADIS and PTS through integration, certification, and “live” demonstrated operation. PTS will be available for PTS integration during the development phase of CADIS.

INTERFACE C: National Crime Information Center System (NCIC) CADIS shall interface with the NCIC. The interface must include interfaces for NCIC database queries meeting state and federal specifications. The CADIS – NCIC interface must meet each state’s regulations. The NCIC database inquiry or query will give the user pre-defined entry fields to aid in entering data into those fields. This capability must provide the user with interactive tools informing the user of specific query fields requiring data entry for each state in the regions, and inform the user of the format and exact number and structure of data characters required. The CADIS–NCIC interface must authenticate users’ Social Security numbers by automatically including it in the ‘sent query’, and must provide secure connection to each state meeting state and local security regulations. All NCIC query returns must be presented, accessed for display, and/or printed in a simple manner by the user, and stored in the CADIS RMS database subject to random access for review based on user privileges and security. The final deliverable product will be the successful interface between CADIS and NCIC through integration, certification, and “live” demonstrated operation.

INTERFACE D: National Law Enforcement Tracking System (NLETS) CADIS shall interface with the NLETS database and perform NLETS database inquiries. The interface must include interfaces for NLETS database queries meeting state and federal specifications. The CADIS-NLETS interface must meet NLETS regulations. The NLETS database inquiry or query will give pre-defined entry fields to aid the user in entering data into those fields. This capability must provide the user with interactive tools that inform the user of the specific query fields requiring data entry, and inform the user of the format and exact number and structure of data characters required. The CADIS–NLETS interface must authenticate users’ Social Security numbers by automatically including the number in the ‘sent query’, and must provide secure connection to NLETS meeting, NLETS security regulations. All NLETS query returns must be presented, accessed for display, and/or printed in a simple manner by the user, and stored in the CADIS RMS database, subject to random access for review, based on user privileges and security. The final deliverable product will include the successful interface of CADIS and NLETS through integration, certification, and “live” demonstrated operation.

interface E: Security information system (SIS) Optional – to be negotiated, do not price CADIS components shall interface with and automate receiving information from the SIS. SIS is a central station for automatic alarm monitoring. There are four independent SIS systems that will provide alarm data to the CADIS system operating in the four MegaCenters. The geo-located alarm points are available through the SIS alarm monitoring system. The CADIS interface accepts the data feed over a serial link formatted using XML. The CADIS interface must parse the data and create a call record to notify the system that there is an alarm. The final deliverable product will be the successful integration of CADIS and SIS through integration, certification, and “live” demonstrated operation.

5.10.2 Interfaces Expected After Initial Deployment

The following interfaces are expected to be operational options after the initial deployment of CADIS, as directed by the Government

INTERFACE F: State Crime Information Center SYSTEMS Optional – to be negotiated, do not price In addition to NCIC, CADIS shall provide the same interface functionality of NCIC for each state’s and territory Crime Information Center. In light of recent regional efforts to better share information, the Contractor shall investigate whether interfaces are required with each state jurisdiction where CADIS is deployed, or whether regional interfaces may be more appropriate.

INTERFACE G: DHS/ICE geospatial database Optional – to be negotiated, do not price CADIS GIS component shall integrate, and interface with the DHS / ICE existing geodatabase repository for the purpose of importing base maps and map layers. The geospatial data will be used by CADIS to display facility and officer locations, traffic maps, street maps, and any other geographic information required by FPS. The interface must adhere to DHS/ICE standards, and existing Geospatial Repository (GRR) datasets that use the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) product suite. CADIS Geospatial interface must provide local base map and map layer data access for use by the CADIS system. The interface specifications will be defined during requirements definition phase. There are no predefined workflows. FPS will use the workflows extant in the selected COTS product. CADIS GIS data is updated by GSA, as needed when building data changes. Those changes are automatically reflected in the ESRI database available to CADIS.

interface H: ICEPIC Optional – to be negotiated, do not price CADIS components shall integrate with and automate report input to the ICE Pattern Analysis and Information Collection System (ICEPIC). The interface must include interfaces for CADIS database queries meeting state and federal specifications. The interface specifications will be defined during requirements definition phase. The CADIS database inquiry or query will provide pre-defined entry fields to aid the user in entering data into those fields. This capability must provide the user with interactive tools that inform the user of specific query fields requiring data, and inform the user of the format and exact number and structure of data characters required. The CADIS– ICEPIC interface must authenticate users’ Social Security numbers by automatically including the number in the sent query. The interface must provide secure connection to ICEPIC that meets ICEPIC security regulations. All ICEPIC query returns must be presented, accessed for display, and/or printed in a simple manner by the user and stored in the CADIS RMS database subject to random access for review based on user privileges and security. The final deliverable product will be the successful integration of ICEPIC and CADIS through integration, certification, and “live” demonstrated operation. The CADIS RMS module must be capable of interfacing with the ICEPIC to allow for a CADIS user to enter a query and receive results that are stored in CADIS.
