EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT SUPPORT SYSTEM and SERVICES

The Richmond County Board of Education is soliciting proposals for an Emergency Management Support System and Services to be managed by its Public Safety Department. The objective is to implement a dependable, user-friendly emergency response platform to enhance the safety of students, parents, faculty, and staff during crises and facilitate rapid communication with emergency response agencies. Key technical requirements include a reunification component capable of Student Information System integrations, parent/guardian identity validation, background checks, and real-time reporting. The system must also be compatible with Visitor Management, Safety Blueprint, and CrisisAlert products. The contract is intended for a three-year period from January 1, 2027, to December 31, 2029. Awarding will be based on the lowest responsible and responsive bidder who meets the specifications and provides the best overall general value. Bidders must submit one paper copy and one digital copy via USB drive by November 9, 2026. Compliance requirements include E-Verify certification, annual criminal history record inquiries to ensure no registered sex offenders are assigned to school properties, and maintaining minimum insurance coverages of 1 million dollars for both Workers Compensation and General Liability. The project is governed by the laws of Richmond County, Georgia, and is exempt from state sales taxes.
