Gunshot Detection Technology & Automated License Plate Reader

The City of Green Bay, Wisconsin is soliciting proposals for a comprehensive Gunshot Detection Technology and Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) system through RFP #2022-05. The procurement seeks a turnkey solution that includes hardware, software, hosting services, implementation, training, and ongoing maintenance for both technologies. Vendors may submit proposals for either the gunshot detection system (covering a three-square-mile area), the ALPR system (including fixed-location and vehicle-mounted configurations), or both. The RFP requires detailed proposals with pricing for years one through five and an optional year ten, encompassing all direct and indirect expenses including installation, data transmission, and technical support. Evaluation will be conducted using a 100-point scoring rubric that considers experience and qualifications (25 points), service/maintenance (20 points), implementation strategy (20 points), proposal quality (15 points), and pricing (20 points). Key dates include an August 4, 2022 deadline for questions, August 8, 2022 for addenda posting, and a proposal submission deadline of August 25, 2022 at 2:00 PM Central Time. Prior to final award, the City will select the top three vendors to provide at least three cameras for a 60-day pilot test.

The procurement does not have specific set-aside designations or Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation requirements, though federal clauses will apply as the project may receive partial funding from the Federal Transit Administration. The City's existing technology infrastructure includes an MSSQL database with a custom GERP application, evidence.com for multimedia storage, and a Milestone video management system with which the new solution must integrate. Vendors are required to ensure their systems do not target specific groups and prevent disparate outcomes. The City is tax-exempt and open to various pricing models, including leasing arrangements. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the RFP indicates the City does not guarantee the purchase of any specific quantity or dollar amount. Potential funding sources may include City Council appropriations and American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds. Submissions must be made either as one original and four physical copies with an electronic flash drive, or electronically via DemandStar, with all-inclusive, not-to-exceed fixed fees that cover comprehensive system deployment and maintenance.
