About this opportunity
The City of New Haven is issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP #2025-RFP-230) for a comprehensive school bus stop arm camera enforcement equipment and services solution, targeting the entire New Haven Public Schools fleet of approximately 300 vehicles. The procurement seeks a turnkey digital video monitoring system to detect and enforce school bus stop arm violations, enhancing student safety through live digital video monitoring, installation, implementation, and ongoing system operation. Vendors must provide hardware, software, training, and supporting services for a complete monitoring and enforcement program, with compliance required for Connecticut State laws, including Public Act No. 24-107. The RFP requires respondents to familiarize themselves with specific state statutes and prepare a solution that includes securing electronic evidence, citation processing, and professional support services. Evaluation criteria will prioritize technical merit, focusing on contractor qualifications, system capabilities, implementation plans, and service levels, with the proposal due on June 24, 2025, at 11:00 am. The City anticipates no direct out-of-pocket costs and expects vendors to propose a revenue-sharing model where at least 10% of fine revenues will be retained by the municipality.
The solicitation does not explicitly mandate specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though the attached EEOC Vendors Notice suggests a commitment to equal employment opportunities. The contract allows for alternative proposals covering partial fleet coverage, with the City retaining discretion on the desired level of implementation. While no incumbent vendors are identified, the RFP requires integration with existing school bus infrastructure and compliance with current technological standards. The proposed contract term is three years with no renewal options, and vendors are expected to price their proposals on a per-bus basis, regardless of vehicle make, model, or age. The City reserves rights to add or delete buses from the fleet during the contract period. Although a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the RFP suggests a revenue-generating model where the selected vendor will likely be compensated through a percentage of collected violation fines, with a minimum 10% retained by the City of New Haven.
Opportunity text
The City of New Haven is issuing a Request for Proposals ("RFP") to qualified vendors who can provide live digital video school bus stop arm violation detection monitoring systems (the "Monitoring System") and enforcement program (the "Monitoring Enforcement") to enhance student safety for the City and the New Haven Public Schools ("NHPS"). This includes the installation, implementation, and operation of certain aspects of the Monitoring System, training and continuing performance of the hardware, software and supporting services needed for this system to function properly. The proposals shall be for a complete "turnkey" operation.
The City seeks proposals to provide, install, operate, and maintain equipment and hardware for New Haven public school student transportation buses in accordance with project proposals / plans acceptable to the Public Schools Department and the New Haven Police Department. See Exhibit A for an example of the desired equipment. The proposals should be to equip the entire school bus fleet that transports City public school children (approx. 300 vehicles). Alternatives may also be submitted that provide for coverage of only a portion of the fleet, with the City reserving the right to determine the level of coverage it desires.
The purpose of this solicitation is to enable appropriate monitoring of, and enforcement action (including collection of monetary penalties for violations) related to, non-compliance with Connecticut State laws and regulations.
