DESCRIPTION

The government authority in Cleveland, Ohio, is seeking a vendor to design and implement intelligence-led policing technologies. The solution must capture forensic information associated with incidents, including exact location, exact time, and forensic-grade digital recordings that are suitable for use as court-admissible evidence. It must record events and securely retain all related information and data.

The required technology should support license plate recognition and vehicle identification, including vehicle type, make, model, color, license plate number, direction, and speed. It should provide long-range, infrared-enabled night vision, remote system monitoring and updates, real-time status monitoring for all cameras, and immediate notification of camera-related issues. Footage and license plate recognition images must be stored in a secure, encrypted cloud environment and accessible through a cloud-hosted application.

System components should operate using hard-wired electrical power, with options for solar panels, battery or UPS backup power, and LTE/5G data communications. The vendor must provide updates and upgrades, including correction of substantial defects, minor bug fixes, compatibility fixes related to mandatory operating system patches, and upgrades to newer software releases. Questions are due by August 20, 2026, and a pre-bid meeting will be held on the same date.
