Wayne County and the jurisdictions within it issued a Request for Proposal (RFP 19-006) for a comprehensive digital surveillance system procurement, with a posting date of August 10, 2021 and a proposal due date of August 18, 2021. The procurement encompasses both camera replacement and expansion across multiple facilities, including the replacement of 52 existing cameras (45 indoor and 7 outdoor units) and the procurement of 14 new cameras (12 indoor and 2 outdoor units) with associated wiring infrastructure. Additional facility-specific installations are documented for Kinloch Elementary School (expanding from 21 existing cameras to 38 total with 17 new cameras) and Highview Elementary School (expanding from 18 existing cameras to 40 total with 22 new cameras). The selected vendor must provide a complete networked digital video surveillance system solution including hardware, software, installation, testing, training of personnel, and ongoing maintenance and technical support services throughout the contract term. Evaluation criteria include technical capability, vendor experience, pricing competitiveness, and service support infrastructure. The RFP included provisions for site visits and a bidders' conference to allow interested vendors to review installation locations and clarify project requirements with city representatives.

The procurement documents indicate that the procurement may include set-asides for local, minority-owned, or small business enterprises as applicable under city procurement policies, though specific designations are not explicitly detailed in the available materials. A Questions and Addendum document was issued during the bidding period to address clarifications and modifications to the original solicitation, establishing uniform understanding of project scope, deliverables, and contractual obligations. The contract term includes an initial period with options for renewal to extend the service relationship. Funding for the project is derived from the city's capital budget or grant sources as designated. However, the specific budget allocation, award value range, incumbent contractor information, and detailed financial parameters are not explicitly stated in the available procurement documents. Interested vendors should refer to the complete RFP package, including all addenda and clarifications, for comprehensive contractual terms and additional administrative procedures.
