Design and Installation of Traffic Cameras

The Vendor is required to provide for the design and installation of a fixed license plate reader (LPR) system and surveillance camera network for the county.
- Fixed License Plate Readers:
• Camera type: The LPRS must be high-resolution cameras capable of capturing license plate information in various lighting conditions, including night time.
• Recognition technology: LPR systems must utilize advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning algorithms, specifically designed for license plate recognition (LPR), to accurately detect and read license plates from various angles, lighting conditions, and speeds.
• The system should be capable of learning and adapting to different plate styles, regions, and environmental variables, offering enhanced recognition accuracy beyond traditional OCR-based methods.
• The AI-powered LPR system should be able to handle complex scenarios such as partial plates, obscured characters, and varying plate formats, providing robust and reliable results in real-time.
• Data storage: The system must retain captured data for a minimum of 365 days, with options for extended storage accessible via secure cloud or on-site solutions.
• Integration: The LPR must be compatible with the existing law enforcement databases and other relevant software systems in use by the county.
• Weatherproofing: these devices must be certified with an ip68 or better rating to ensure functionality under extreme weather conditions.
- Surveillance cameras
• Camera type: The project will require the installation of both fixed and PTZ (pan-tilt zoom) cameras; all cameras must be high-definition (HD) with at least 1080p resolution.
• Field of view: cameras should have a minimum field of view of 90 degrees, while PTZ cameras should offer a zoom capability of at least 30x.
• Night vision: All cameras must support IR (infrared) vision for low-light conditions with a minimum visibility range of 100 feet.
• Data storage: Provided video footage must be stored for 90 days, with a potential option for cloud-based storage as per specified requirements.
• Networking standards: cameras should adhere to IEEE 802.11 standards for wireless connectivity and be capable of integration with existing network infrastructure.
- Relevant standards
• National institute of standards and technology (NIST): all systems should adhere to the latest NIST guidelines pertaining to cybersecurity.
• Federal information processing standards (FIPS): equipment and software should be FIPS 140- 2 compliant.
• Organization compliance with standards 9001, for quality management systems, is required.
• Institute: The solution should conform to Institute -associated technical standards for communications and data management.
• Local codes: All installation practices must comply with all applicable local regulations, including the national electrical code (NEC) and the building code of county.
- Service requirements
• Project management: the contractor will be responsible for appointing a qualified project manager to oversee the project from kick-off to completion.
• Technical Support: The vendor must offer ongoing technical support and maintenance services for a full year post-installation, with options for extended contracts available.
• Documentation: Complete documentation must be provided for all installed systems, including user manuals, maintenance guidelines, and warranty details.
- Contract Period/Term: 2 years
- Questions/Inquires Deadline: March 26, 2025
