Automated Speed Detection School Zone Safety System

The City of Brunswick is seeking a qualified service provider to implement an Automated Speed Detection School Zone Safety Enforcement program at Goodyear Elementary and Brunswick High School, utilizing radar, lidar, and automated license plate reader technology to monitor speeding in designated school zones. The initiative operates under a revenue sharing model designed to achieve net zero cost to taxpayers, with the provider compensated through a percentage of fines collected. Proposals must include comprehensive system design, installation, secure web-based citation management, training for police and court personnel, and ongoing maintenance with a 24-hour response time and 72-hour repair standard. The system must produce high-quality color rear-vehicle images and reliably capture license plates under all lighting and environmental conditions while simultaneously monitoring up to four traffic lanes. All fieldwork requires prior GDOT permitting, and the vendor must ensure full compliance with state and local laws, including registration under the Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act, possession of a valid Occupation Tax Certificate, and adherence to all federal, state, and municipal regulations. The contract mandates the submission of detailed technical and cost proposals, with the cost proposal sealed separately in five copies. Proposals must follow a strict format including an executive summary, company profile, technical architecture, training strategy, and client references from comparable communities, with a mandatory pass/fail evaluation of references. Technical merit carries the highest weight at 30 points, followed by firm qualifications and experience at 25 points, with cost contributing 10 points. A 100% performance and payment bond, issued by a Georgia-licensed surety and signed by a Georgia resident agent, is required along with general liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate, automobile liability of $1 million per accident, and workers’ compensation coverage. The vendor must also submit a drug-free workplace certification, representation affidavit, contractor affidavit, insurance certificate, W-9, and oath. No work may be subcontracted without written consent, and all claims for additional compensation must be submitted in writing within 30 days. The City reserves the right to add additional locations during the contract term and may select a higher-rated, non-lowest-cost proposal to ensure system reliability and integration. Proposals are due by 5:00 PM on June 5, 2026, to the City Finance Department in sealed envelopes marked with the solicitation number, and the Notice to Proceed will follow within ten days of contract execution.
