Flock Safety Automated License Plate Reading (ALPR) Camara Installation Project

The City of Lodi is implementing an automated license plate reading (ALPR) camera system through Flock Safety to enhance public safety and support law enforcement operations. The project involves installing two 13-foot poles equipped with ALPR cameras and integrated solar panels at specified locations along CA-12 at Westgate Drive, both eastbound and westbound, using minimal ground disturbance with 3-inch by 48-inch pole anchors to reduce environmental impact. The systems are designed to detect and identify license plates associated with criminal activity, enabling timely law enforcement response and vehicle interception, with the broader goal of increasing community safety. The project has been determined to qualify for a categorical exemption under CEQA Section 15303(e) for new construction of small structures, confirming compliance with state environmental review requirements, though no federal acquisition regulation contract clauses, performance metrics, or technical specifications beyond the physical installation are detailed. The installation sites are within Lodi, California, and the Lodi Police Department is the primary agency responsible for oversight, with Sergeant Elias Ambriz serving as the lead contact and Captain Kevin Kent as the primary point of communication. No formal contract value, pricing details, payment terms, or accounting data are provided in the documentation, indicating this is a forecast or planning-level announcement rather than a fully executed contract. There are no identified solicitation numbers, contract types, clause references, evaluation factors, or delivery schedules, and no attachments, representations, or certifications from the vendor are included. The procurement process appears to have bypassed standard competitive solicitation formats, as key elements such as FOB terms, invoicing methods, contracting officer information, and submission guidelines are absent. The absence of FAR-compliant sections and financial data underscores the project’s likely status as a locally administered initiative supported through municipal funds rather than formal federal acquisition procedures. The project’s success hinges on the operational functionality of the installed hardware and its integration into existing law enforcement workflows, with acceptance taking place on-site at the designated locations upon completion of installation.
