DESCRIPTION

The government authority in Boulder, Colorado seeks vendors to provide automatic license plate reader (ALPR) technology and services. The primary purpose is to support officers in the field by delivering key information for criminal investigations. The project requires the purchase and installation of fixed ALPR platforms along roadways, with consideration for future integration of mobile ALPR systems. Vendors must ensure high security standards are met while protecting the privacy of residents, business owners, and visitors.

The system should collect data from multiple ALPRs and present consolidated results via a single interface and feature an easy-to-use, web-based application. All hardware, software, security protocols, and implementation services are required. The solution must support Single Sign On and Multi-Factor Authentication, and be capable of interfacing with other public safety technology products. Vendors are expected to provide thorough documentation of design and installation and may be invited to deliver a pilot project at a city-designated intersection for 60 days following camera installation.

Significant areas of the software's capability should be discussed, including network, system, process flow, and security diagrams. All questions related to the RFP must be submitted by May 8, 2026.
