Computer Aided Dispatch and Automated Field Reporting Systems
The County of Ventura (hereinafter referred to as County) invites your
organization to submit a written proposal to provide Computer Aided
Dispatch/Mobile and Automated Field Reporting systems for the Ventura
County Sheriff's Office. Proposals shall be due no later than 3:00 p.m. on
August 16, 2013 in accordance with the attached Terms and Conditions
and Instructions to Offerors which by this reference are made a part
hereof.
Offerors shall be skilled and regularly engaged in the general class or type
of work called for in the solicitation documents. Offerors must have
experience in successfully completing CAD/AFR projects similar in size and
scope to the County project described in this RFP.
The County desires an integrated CAD/Mobile and AFR solution and as
such, Offerors are encouraged to submit proposals for an integrated
solution from a single Offeror or a subcontracted solution. Alternatively,
Offerors may bid on only the CAD/Mobile or only the AFR system with an
interface to the appropriate system (e.g., CAD/Mobile or AFR).
System integration is of paramount importance to the County. During
evaluation, the County will give a preference to Offerors that propose a
fully integrated solution. However, in the event the CAD/Mobile and AFR
systems are procured from separate Offerors (subject to approval by all
involved parties), the successful Offerors agree to cooperatively work
together to create integration between the systems. Lastly, the County
prefers to work with a single Offeror serving as the prime contractor for all
hardware, software and services necessary to ensure a seamlessly
integrated CAD/Mobile/AFR solution.
The County's preference is to procure an integrated CAD/Mobile/AFR
solution from a single Offeror, however Offerors may bid on only the
CAD/Mobile application or only the AFR application, and propose an interface to the other core application. If two or more Offerors are
partnering to provide a joint solution, a prime Offeror is required. The
County reserves the right to make one or more partial awards and/or
request the replacement of subcontractor(s).
All proposed software versions must be generally available and
operational in a live environment on or before the proposal deadline. The
module version for each module proposed must be identified within the
Offeror's response. While the County does not expect custom interfaces
to be operational and demonstrable, it does expect that the Offeror will
have experience implementing similar interfaces.
