DESCRIPTION
The vendor will provide an assessment of the Protective Services software environment, including business and technical requirements, related enterprise systems, business processes, data flows, integrations, user needs, support models, and organizational readiness. The assessment will identify modernization options and recommend a practical implementation roadmap with potential software application solutions.
The work will map software tools to business functions, applications, databases, spreadsheets, manual workarounds, and shadow systems. It will document system owners, users, contracts, licensing, costs, hosting arrangements, support models, renewal dates, and division-specific systems. The vendor will also assess data quality, ownership, duplication, retention, access, reporting, analytics, and support for operational, compliance, productivity, performance, executive, and Council decision-making.
The assessment will review connectivity and integration with enterprise platforms and systems, including Microsoft 365, GIS, Finance, CityWorks, Click N Fix, hardware, mobile devices, and cloud services. It will identify risks associated with poor interoperability, siloed systems, and isolated data, while evaluating security controls, authentication, privacy, audit logging, encryption, permissions, and vendor security posture.
The vendor will review data residency, municipal records obligations, health information, enforcement evidence, and emergency communications data. The assessment will include licensing, maintenance, subscriptions, hosting, support, upgrades, staff time, training, customization, and integration costs, with an emphasis on integrated, secure, and scalable platforms supporting the full public safety service lifecycle. Questions must be submitted by September 4, 2026.
