RFP 20252010 Automated Enforcement Pilot Program

The City of Eugene, Oregon, is conducting a Request for Proposals (RFP #20252010) for an Automated Enforcement Pilot Program, seeking a turnkey vendor to provide comprehensive hardware, software, and operational services for automated enforcement at three intersections. The procurement aims to implement a red-light camera system with the capability to enforce traffic violations across four travel directions at each selected site. Proposers must submit a detailed narrative addressing company profile, qualifications, planning services, equipment maintenance, data processing and storage, customer service capabilities, cost structure, and data sharing methodologies. The RFP requires vendors to provide a complete solution including all necessary hardware, software platforms, image processing systems, and ongoing maintenance services. Evaluation criteria will focus on company qualifications, technical capabilities, planning approach, equipment reliability, customer service effectiveness, and financial sustainability. Critical proposal submission deadlines include September 4, 2024, at 3:00 PM, with an anticipated contract start date and earliest go-live projected for July 2025. The initial contract term is one year, with potential extensions for up to three additional one-year terms.

Three proposers have responded to the solicitation, including MBE certified supplier NovoaGlobal, Inc., and two uncertified suppliers, Verra Mobility and Jenoptik Smart Mobility Solutions. The City has demonstrated an interest in working with diverse suppliers, as evidenced by the COBID (Certification Office for Business Inclusion and Diversity) certification mention. While no specific set-aside requirements are explicitly stated, the RFP indicates a preference for proposals that demonstrate financial sustainability, with an emphasis on generating revenue from citations that can offset operational costs. The procurement does not specify a precise budget range, but the City's priority is to structure the program to be as cost-neutral as possible. The successful vendor will be responsible for comprehensive services including hardware installation, software implementation, ongoing system maintenance, citation processing, customer service, and data management across the three initial intersection sites, with potential future expansion. No information about incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure was provided in the solicitation documents.
