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

The Riverside County Sheriff’s Office is proceeding with the installation of a Flock Safety automated license plate reading (ALPR) camera system in Blythe, California, to enhance law enforcement capabilities in identifying vehicles linked to criminal activity. The installation will involve mounting a camera unit and a solar-powered energy source onto an existing streetlight pole without any excavation or ground disturbance, ensuring minimal environmental impact and alignment with CEQA Guidelines Section 15301(b), which categorically exempts the project from further environmental review. The primary objective is to support proactive policing by enabling real-time license plate recognition and data transmission to assist in intercepting wanted or suspicious vehicles, thereby improving public safety across Riverside County. The project is forecasted for execution with an action date of October 10, 2025, and the official place of performance is Blythe, with specific installations planned along I-10 at key entry points. No formal contract value, pricing structure, or detailed delivery schedule has been disclosed, and the procurement documentation reflects a forecast posting rather than a fully executed agreement with line-item specifications. The contract administration is managed by the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office, with Lieutenant Victor Pierson serving as the primary point of contact for inquiries and coordination. While no formal Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses, evaluation factors, or contract types such as FFP or IDIQ are included, the procurement operates under local government procedures, with inspection and acceptance to occur at the installation sites within Blythe. The government, represented by the sheriff’s office, retains responsibility for oversight and approval of the system’s functionality, with no detailed technical, quality, or packaging standards specified beyond the baseline requirement of non-invasive pole attachment. No invoicing instructions, accounting codes, payment office details, or offeror certifications are available in the documentation, and the system’s operational performance is expected to be measured by its effectiveness in aiding law enforcement interventions rather than through formal service level agreements. The project is framed as a public safety initiative with no anticipated disruption to existing infrastructure or environmental resources.
