Data Warehouse & Long-Term Data Storage

The contract seeks a vendor to design and operate a secure data warehouse dedicated to storing operational data from Intelligent Transportation Systems, with a mandate to maintain infrastructure reliability exceeding 99.5% uptime for a term ranging from three to ten years. The solution must ensure robust data integrity, advanced security protocols, and seamless scalability to accommodate evolving data volumes and system demands over the contract duration. Emphasis is placed on continuous availability, protection against unauthorized access, and resilient architecture capable of sustaining performance under high demand without degradation. Beyond the operational phase, the contract requires the retained provision of post-contract data access, ensuring that the Athens-Clarke County Government retains comprehensive and uninterrupted retrieval of all stored ITS operational data after the agreement concludes, regardless of vendor transition or system changes. The solicitation, categorized under NAICS code 518210 for data processing and hosting services, is issued as a subcontract through the Georgia state procurement system with a response deadline in September 2026, and performance is expected to align with public infrastructure standards for reliability and long-term data stewardship.
