Cherokee Sheriff's Office (RTIC) Real-Time Intelligence Center - UpFit

The Cherokee County Board of Commissioners Purchasing Department is soliciting competitive sealed proposals from qualified vendors to create a Real-Time Intelligence Center (RTIC) for the Cherokee Sheriff's Office. The project requires a comprehensive audio/video hardware and software equipment installation, specifically involving six RTIC operator console workstations, two drone operator console workstations, conference tables, display walls, and associated audio-visual systems. Technical requirements include a 4x2 video wall with Planar LX55M displays, auxiliary displays, Haivision Mission Critical Systems video wall processor, touch panels, Microsoft Surface Hub, and comprehensive audio systems. Vendor qualifications include mandatory ISO:9001 and SOC2 certification, manufacturer certifications, and a minimum of five similar project references. The evaluation criteria will be weighted as follows: project approach (25%), vendor experience and qualifications (40%), past performance and references (25%), and cost (10%). Key procurement dates include a mandatory site visit on March 3, 2025, at 11:00 AM, questions due by March 5, 2025, at 4:00 PM, proposals due March 14, 2025, at 10:00 AM, and an anticipated award date of April 1, 2025, with a contract period of 180 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed.

While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational types are explicitly mentioned, the procurement emphasizes a turnkey solution with comprehensive post-installation support. The project requires a Service Level Agreement with 24/7/365 support and a 48-hour emergency response time, with at least one year of coverage included in the proposal price. The installation will occur at the new Shaw Woodard Training Building located at 375 Chattin Dr. in Canton, Georgia, which appears to be approximately 6,700 square feet. Though a specific budget range is not disclosed, the detailed technical specifications and comprehensive support requirements suggest a significant investment in advanced technological infrastructure for the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office. Vendors will be expected to work within the standard professional services agreement template provided, which includes provisions for insurance, E-Verify compliance, and intellectual property ownership, with all work products ultimately becoming the property of Cherokee County.
