About this opportunity
Waukesha County is soliciting proposals from qualified firms to design and specify a replacement of its analog Jail Audio Communication System with a digital solution, with proposals due June 30, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. CDT/CST via the Bonfire Purchasing Portal.
The scope requires complete detailed design drawings, functional and technical specifications, and identification of technical infrastructure needed to transition from analog to digital audio with no loss of current functionality. The contractor must also provide a ten-year total cost of ownership estimate. As a separately priced option, the County is exploring replacement of the entire PLC system in the jail, contingent on financial feasibility and staff approval; this option requires a separate cost proposal. The proposed digital system must integrate with existing inmate security software systems, specifically maintaining Avigilon camera call-up functionality interfaced to the current WonderWare system, preserving duress alarm capabilities that enable staff to wear location-tracking alarms displaying alarm locations throughout the facility via WonderWare, and incorporating a data historian feature for the PLC system. All hardware and software required for complete system functionality must be included in the proposal.
The County has provided three technical reference documents: an interconnect diagram showing system architecture and integration points with existing infrastructure, a PLC input/output listing, and the full RFP document (RFP No. 2026019). Quoted conditions and prices must remain firm for ninety calendar days from opening. Delivery is F.O.B. County-designated address with transportation charges prepaid by the vendor. Responses must include the executed signature page and the first page of the RFP to be eligible. The contact buyer is Matt Kuhn at (262) 548-7889.
Opportunity text
Waukesha County (the County) is soliciting proposals from qualified firms to provide design plans and address system functionality requirements for the replacement of the current analog Jail Audio Communication System (hereinafter referred to as the System). The County desires a digital audio solution with increased capabilities without losing any current functionality. Once the project is completed, the selected firm (hereinafter Contractor) will provide complete detailed design drawings, as well as functional and technical specifications of the new digital system. As a separately priced option, the county is also interested in replacing the entire PLC system in the jail, provided that doing so is financially feasible and deemed desirable by county staff through this process. The Contractor will identify the technical infrastructure required to upgrade the current analog system with a digital system and provide an estimate of the total cost of ownership for the system for a ten-year period so that the Department can determine the total financial investment of the system designed. The same is required for the optional replacement of the entire PLC system which should be submitted as a separate cost proposal. The proposed solution must work within the current inmate security software systems, including retaining the ability for Avigilon camera call ups that are interfaced to the current WonderWare system. The county is seeking the addition of a data historian feature to its PLC system. Duress alarms are also a feature of the current system, allowing jail staff to wear duress alarms that interact with WonderWare which shows the location of the duress alarm wherever it is detected at various points throughout the jail. All hardware and software needed for the System to function as proposed must be included in the proposal. The Contractor will be designing and implementing this new audio system solution through this proposal. The county option to replace the entire PLC system will require the same design and implementation requirements as the audio portion.
