Williamson County, Texas, is soliciting fixed-price proposals for the procurement and implementation of a fully integrated Body Worn Camera (BWC) and In-Car Video (ICV) system to be used by multiple agencies. The project involves a phased deployment of up to 750 BWC and 750 ICV units over three years, with an initial phase targeting 250 units of each. The established budget for this solicitation is 1,300,000.00 dollars. The successful vendor must provide a turnkey solution including hardware, installation, testing, training, and a seven-year subscription for maintenance and support. Technical requirements specify that BWC hardware must meet MIL-STD-810H and IP67 standards, while ICV systems must operate in 0 lux light levels. The system must also feature AI-assisted redaction for faces, license plates, and screens, and support multi-agency operability with secure data segregation. Proposals are due by September 30, 2026, and must include a detailed cost proposal based on quantity tiers, a references workbook with at least three similar deployments, and various Texas Government Code certifications. These certifications include compliance regarding the boycotting of Israel and restrictions on doing business with certain foreign entities. The evaluation process involves a 100-point weighted system to identify a short-list of vendors, followed by demonstrations. Final system acceptance is contingent upon a 45-day operational reliability period after go-live. The contract includes provisions for cooperative purchasing via interlocal agreements and requires adherence to Texas prevailing wage schedules and federal drug-free workplace standards.
