Body Cameras for the NYPD and Related Hardware and Data Storage Solution

August 7, 2015– The New York City Police Department (“NYPD”) is conducting a solicitation which seeks a comprehensive end to end solution for capturing, transmitting, and storing video and audio using body-worn cameras carried by patrol officers. The NYPD is soliciting applications from firms with demonstrated experience in designing and maintaining such a solution. The body-worn cameras must be lightweight and functional in all weather conditions. Firms must also provide a data storage solution (either cloud-based or employing on-site data storage) as well as all equipment necessary to operate the cameras (e.g. charging stations, data cables) and to upload captured video and audio data from the cameras for long-term storage (e.g. docking stations). If a vendor employs a cloud storage solution, it must meet the NYPD’s security requirements, as outlined in the Solicitation. The contract established as a result of this solicitation will serve as a Requirements Contract for the purchase of hardware, storage, licenses, and maintenance services on an as-needed basis. The anticipated term of the contract would be for five years from January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2020. There would also be three 3-year renewal options.

A contract award will be made by the Negotiated Acquisition source selection method, pursuant to City of New York Procurement Policy Board Rules (PPB Rules) § 3-04(b)(2) because the NYPD has determined that it is neither practical nor advantageous to award the proposed contract by competitive sealed bids or competitive sealed proposals, and that this source selection method is in the City’s best interest. First, there exists is a compelling need for the goods and services that cannot be timely met through competitive sealed bidding or competitive sealed proposals. Second, there are a limited number of vendors able to provide the required body cameras and the related equipment and services of the nature and specificity required by the NYPD. Thus, pursuant to Sections 3-04(b)(2)(i)(D) and 3 04(b)(2)(ii) of the PPB Rules, a special case determination has been made that this solicitation should be done using the Negotiated Acquisition method of Source Selection. Any Vendors that wish to express an interest to be considered for this solicitation may download or request the complete solicitation document and submit completed application(s) if they feel that they can supply the required body cameras and related goods and services.
This Procurement is subject to Local Law 1, the City of New York’s M/WBE Program.

August 18, 2015– MOCJ proposes a multifaceted effort to provide a detailed account of the varied transactions that comprise the supply lines of illegal guns to criminals in New York City.

The research is intended to provide guidance in setting priorities in prosecutions, design undercover operations against gun transactions, craft new regulations, and related actions, all with the ultimate purpose of reducing gun violence.
The negotiated acquisition procurement has been chosen due to the limited number of vendors available and able to perform the work in accordance with PPB 3-04(b)(2)(ii). MOCJ will continue to accept expressions of interest to the extent required by the City of New York Procurement Policy Board Rules.

NYCEDC plans to select a developer on the basis of factors stated in the RFP which include, but are not limited to: the economic impact of the project on New York City, the response team’s qualifications, the project’s financial feasibility, and the degree to which the project is complementary to the surrounding community. NYCEDC will show preference for quality proposals that support creative, media and/or technology uses that enhance the neighborhood’s transformation as a center for information, aim to strengthen and revitalize the urban context of the Site, propose a design and program that enhances connections to and accessibility for the surrounding community and strive to achieve design excellence.

This RFP follows a broader Request for Expressions of Interest (“RFEI”) issued for the entire Teleport last year. Responses to that RFEI and subsequent diligence have informed the current understanding of which uses might be desirable and possible at the Site today.

Based upon that diligence, Modular Construction Assembly, Flood Defense System fabrication, and the manufacture of Green Energy systems (solar panels, wind turbines) were identified as uses that may be good fits for the Site, and as growth industries with strong potential in the region and on Staten Island’s West Shore. NYCEDC and the Port Authority will also consider other manufacturing uses not listed above; the foregoing merely represents examples of uses considered and explored in the preparation of this RFP.

NYCEDC plans to select a development team on the basis of factors stated in the open RFP which include, but are not limited to: the quality of the proposal, experience of key staff identified in the proposal, experience and quality of any subcontractors proposed, demonstrated successful experience in performing services similar to those encompassed in the open RFP.

If a proposal is selected, it will be on the basis of a thoughtful approach to both maximizing the development potential of the Site and managing it in a manner that acts as a catalyst to the economy of Staten Island as a whole. Responses to this RFP should aim to accomplish the following goals (“Development Goals”):
