Green Bay Transit Surveillance Camera System

The City of Green Bay, located in Brown County, Wisconsin, is seeking proposals for a comprehensive Surveillance Camera System for Metro Transit through a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued on March 14, 2024. The procurement is for a turnkey solution that will replace and upgrade the existing surveillance infrastructure, integrating seventy-two (72) Indigo Vision cameras and two (2) deterrent cameras for public lobby entrances. The system must provide live and recorded video surveillance capabilities across the Metro Transit facility, which spans approximately 98,500 square feet and supports a fleet of 34 buses. The proposal evaluation will be based on four key criteria: surveillance camera system functionality, coverage, and support (30 points), software management and end-user usability (30 points), vendor capability and experience (20 points), and pricing (20 points). Critical dates include a mandatory site inspection on March 26, 2024, at 9:00 AM, written vendor questions due by March 28, 2024, at 4:00 PM, and proposals due by April 2, 2024, at 2:00 PM. Vendor meetings, oral presentations, and demonstrations are scheduled for April 8-12, 2024, with evaluation and scoring occurring on April 16, 2024, and an intent to award notification expected on April 23, 2024.

The procurement is subject to extensive federal requirements, including Federal Transit Administration (FTA) provisions, which may restrict certain vendors based on compliance capabilities. The City of Green Bay is not limited to selecting the lowest-price proposal and reserves the right to award based on the best overall value to Metro Transit. Vendors must comply with prevailing wage standards for construction components exceeding $2,000, Buy America requirements for contracts over $150,000, and various civil rights and environmental protections. The project is subsidized by the Federal Transit Authority, which mandates additional vendor requirements such as debarment certification, lobbying restrictions, and potential drug and alcohol testing provisions. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, pricing must remain firm for 90 days following the proposal due date and fixed for the contract duration, with all financial commitments subject to funds approved by the Transit Commission. Vendors will need to demonstrate the ability to integrate with existing infrastructure and provide a comprehensive surveillance solution that meets the city's specific operational needs.
