The Illinois Tollway is soliciting proposals under RFP 21-0184 (BidBuy B-27950) to upgrade its Digital Video Recording System and Security Video Management System (SVMS). The project involves replacing existing video recording and management servers with new hardware and software compatible with the Tollway IT Data Center. Key technical requirements include centralized management of video sources and storage, per-camera configuration for streaming and archiving, Active Directory and Multi-Factor Authentication integration, and a well-documented API for external queries. The system must support future expansion up to 1,800 cameras and meet specific recording standards, such as 720p at 30fps with a 60-day retention period. The contract features an initial three-year term with an option for the State to renew for four additional years, not to exceed a total of ten years. Award selection is based on a point ranking system focusing on technical capabilities and a Commitment to Diversity, with a minimum score of 1,488 points required to proceed to oral demonstrations. Evaluation factors include technical merit, oral presentations, and diversity in staffing. Vendors must submit all responses electronically via BidBuy, including required disclosures, a BEP Utilization Plan, and financial statements. Acceptance is contingent upon a 90-day burn-in period and a successful load test based on an approved System Test Plan. Compliance with NIST encryption guidelines and various SOC or ISO certifications is required.
