About this file

This document is a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the City of Colorado Springs Procurement Services for a Video Management System (VMS). The RFI seeks to explore options for standardizing the city's video management services across multiple departments, including City, Transit, and Pikes Peak. The city currently has approximately 1,000 cameras and is interested in replacing existing cameras as they age out. Responses are due by November 3, 2025, and will be accepted electronically through the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System. The purpose is to gather information for budgetary and specification preparation, with the potential to issue a formal Request for Proposal (RFP) if sufficient qualified vendors are identified.

The VMS requirements include cloud and edge storage capabilities, with specific storage needs for different departments totaling 660 TB, including an optional 100 TB buffer. The system must support various camera types (PTZ, 360 fixed, license plate, etc.) with features like LTE connections, motion detection, object analytics, and people counting. Cybersecurity is a critical concern, with vendors required to address multiple security questions, including SOC2 certification, multi-factor authentication, and incident response processes. The city seeks a comprehensive solution that can integrate with existing systems like Ccure door controller and potentially replace or integrate with the current Fusus platform, with a focus on flexible, secure, and feature-rich video management capabilities.

1.1 PURPOSE

The City of Colorado Springs IT department is requesting information to explore options to standardize the Video Management Service (VMS).

It is the City's intent to issue this Request for Information (RFI) to determine whether there are a sufficient number of interested and qualified sources that can provide the requested software system.

1.2 REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION DEFINITION

Responses to this RFI are considered non-binding and are only used to gather information to be used for budgetary and specification preparation purposes. It will also be used to determine the number of companies that exist in the industry for a possible future competitive procurement.

It is not the intent of the City to award a contract as a result of this RFI. If this RFI determines that there are sufficient interested and qualified vendors/contractors and favorable monetary estimates, the City may issue a formal RFP (Request for Proposal) for these services. If an RFP is issued, then all firms that responded to this RFI will be added to our source list and will be formally invited to propose.

1.3 BACKGROUND

The primary objective of this RFI is to seek vendors who offer Video Management Service (VMS). The City needs a Video Management System, (VMS), that can integrate with the multiple makes and models of cameras, some with external microphones for interviews, in use at the City today. The VMS also needs to be able to host and access stored video in the cloud.

Additionally, it needs to be able to integrate with our door controller system called Ccure. The City has approx. 1000 cameras and is interested in replacing current cameras as they age out so we would like a proposal for both hardware and VMS. We may only look at the VMS at this time, so please break down the proposals for hardware and software components.

If Keeping FUSUS, PD Wants

My primary requests for a new camera system are:

Cloud to Cloud integration into Fusus

PTZ Controlled within Fusus or native software

I would prefer our cameras record all the time because our current motion only cameras miss a lot of incidents

I would like to have enough coverage so our cameras don’t have to “patrol or scan”. Maybe 4-way cameras instead of patrolling cameras?

And generally more cameras all over the city

City of Colorado Springs Information Technology Department-Cybersecurity

City Technology Rider (Contract Rider) Release v5_DRAFT

Introduction The IT Technology Rider was created to ensure good and proper cyber hygiene is implemented and practiced on technology that is installed on vendor technology systems, services used by the City to execute City operations, or within the City’s on-premises (on-prem) network. Vendor cloud-based technology systems and services are most often consumed as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), or Infrastructure-as-a- Service (IaaS). By ensuring good and proper cyber hygiene, due diligence is applied to vendor engagements to prevent and/or minimize the likelihood of cyber incidents negatively impacting public safety and municipal operations through loss of availability or capability, unauthorized use, destruction, or modification of technology or data.

Binding Intentions of this Technology Rider This rider applies directly to the actual Service Provider (operator or original equipment operator (OEM)) and the vendor (together, jointly and severally, the “Vendor”) of the service being consumed by the City. If the service is purchased through a value-added reseller (VAR), the VAR hereby certifies and guarantees it will obtain signature of this Technology Rider by the Service Provider and return proof of said signature approval with the VAR’s final signed contract.

Scope This IT Technology Rider is applicable to all City contracts and other vendor engagements where vendors provide one or more of the following:

- Storage and/or transmission of City sensitive and/or restricted data;

- Storage and/or transmission of City data that is the source of record with any City data classification level;

- Computation and analytic capabilities required as part of the delivery of a City service or capability;

- Technology installed directly onto the City on-prem network or cloud-based network infrastructure, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), and/or Platform as a Service (PaaS);

- Application integrations that allow data sharing between a City technology asset and a third-party technology asset;

- The technology or Service directly underpins a business process with a Business Impact Analysis (BIA) tier classification of 0-2;

- Primary and secondary internet service provider (ISP) contracts;

- Managed service provider (MSP) or Managed security service provider (MSSP) contracts, to include any vendor engagement requiring access to any type of City asset in order to perform any support, design, or maintenance activities;

- When Artificial Intelligence (AI) or Machine Learning (ML) are included in a technology or service and the output will require business action, will drive business spending, or is automated to a business process;

or

- If City Data will be ingested or consumed by an AI/ML platform and may be shared with third parties or leveraged in the learning data set.

After departmental request and approval from City IT, the following do not require the IT Technology Rider:

- Hardware only purchases with no third-party software installed;

- Subscriptions to web-based research and analysis services that do not include any of the above configurations;

- Software technology purchased and installed on City network infrastructure by City IT personnel;

- Some transport/circuit only contracts;

- Vendor training engagements/workshops where vendor does not have access to City sensitive and/or restricted data on their corporate systems;
