About this opportunity
The County of San Mateo Parks Department has issued Request for Proposals (RFP - Informal) No. 2026-RFP-Informal-00194 for a Fitzgerald Marine Reserve Live-Feed Camera Installation Project focused on seal monitoring. The procurement seeks a comprehensive camera system installation on the overlook bluff, requiring a high-definition outdoor live feed camera powered by a solar-charged battery bank, with a Wi-Fi repeater to be installed on the Ranger Station roof. Specific technical requirements include a weatherproof camera with low-light and night-vision capabilities, ensuring continuous operation with minimal maintenance. The camera system must achieve 95% uptime, provide video quality suitable for educational purposes, and maintain network latency under 2 seconds. Proposals are due by November 24, 2025, at 5:00 pm through the eProcurement system, with no pre-proposal conference or site visit scheduled. Evaluation criteria are solely price-based, with potential local business preference applied. The contract term is 3 years, with options for two additional 1-year extensions at the County's discretion.
The RFP does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The pricing proposal includes three primary line items: providing and installing the high-definition outdoor live feed camera, system configuration and testing, and optional annual system maintenance and technical support. While specific budget ranges are not disclosed, the project aims to enhance public safety, provide remote marine mammal viewing opportunities, and support research through a live seal monitoring feed at Fitzgerald Marine Reserve. No incumbent vendors are mentioned in the documentation. The system will integrate with the existing Ranger Station infrastructure, requiring careful consideration of network connectivity and power solutions. The project represents an innovative approach to wildlife monitoring and public education, leveraging technology to provide continuous, remote access to marine habitat observations.
