A 5% local-vendor preference applies to vendors whose principal place of business is within San Bernardino County boundaries. California prevailing wage requirements and apprenticeship obligations under Labor Code sections 1725.5 and 1777.5 apply; contractors must register with the California Department of Industrial Relations prior to bidding unless the project value falls below the construction or maintenance thresholds.

The solution must operate on a CJIS-compliant cloud platform with geographically separated secondary data center capability, integrate with the County's existing Jail Management System, and be deployed on a proven commercial off-the-shelf software platform. The proposer bears all implementation costs, including background investigations, on-site training, system configuration, pilot and full facility deployment, and 24/7 support services with a 90-day warranty following go-live. Pricing is due using the County's authorized form with unit prices and line-item detail; all prices are FOB destination with freight charges priced separately and excluding sales tax and federal excise tax.
