The successful bidder must provide a three-year warranty on all cameras, NVRs, and labor. The RFP specifies that the camera and NVR system must be NDAA compliant, contain non-China SoC processors, and be compatible with the existing and new cameras, with a preference for the ACTi brand. The RFP also requires the successful bidder to complete all work without subcontracting and have a physical location within a 75-mile radius for quick response times.

Hale Area Schools reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to accept the bid that is most advantageous to the district.

The RFP does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The complete camera and NVR system will be owned by the customer with no ongoing fees or subscriptions. Wages and benefits paid in performance of this project must comply with Michigan's prevailing wage act. The RFP does not provide any information on incumbent vendors, current contractors, or budget ranges.
