AI Summary
Gratiot County seeks proposals for an integrated public safety system including CAD, mobile data, GIS mapping, and AVL to modernize emergency response operations. The system must comply with federal and state standards and support multi-agency interoperability.
The Gratiot County Central Dispatch Authority (GCCDA) is seeking proposals from qualified vendors to design, deliver, implement, and support a fully Integrated Public Safety System (System) comprised of the following: • Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) with fully integrated GIS based mapping that supports interoperability with GCCDA’s ESRI (ArcGIS) environment • Mobile Data System (MDS) integrated with CAD • Interface to the Law Enforcement Records Management Systems (LERMS) used by stakeholder agencies • Interfaces to the Fire Records Management System(s) (FRMS) used by the stakeholder agencies • CAD-to-CAD capabilities for future consideration/implementation (specific PSAPs/agencies/counties undetermined at this time) • Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) • Other required Interfaces for CAD and MDS The specifications set forth in this RFP establish the minimum functional, technical and performance requirements for the proposed System. GCCDA invites proposals from qualified firms possessing the experience, technical expertise, and organizational capacity to provide a fully integrated CAD, MDS, and associated applications and interfaces. The collective components, applications and interfaces are hereinafter referred to as “the System.” The specific services and deliverables requested are detailed in Section 4. The proposed System shall comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, regulations, standards, and protocols governing the collection, transmission, storage, and security of public safety information. This includes, but is not limited to, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Security Policy requirements, the National Information Exchange Model (NIEM), and any other applicable public safety data standards. GCCDA requires a modern, fully integrated CAD System that serves as the core operational platform for emergency response activities in and around Gratiot County. The System shall support efficient call intake, structured dispatcher workflows, real-time resource allocation, and coordinated incident management to ensure timely and effective response to incidents throughout the County. GCCDA requires an MDS application that provides first responders with secure real-time access to critical incident information, status updates, mapping, messaging, and related operational tools while in the field. The MDS shall enhance situational awareness, support informed decision making, and enable seamless data exchange between dispatch and units in the field. The MDS application must include an AVL solution to track the precise location of emergency response vehicles. This technology is expected to improve response times, optimize routing and recommendations, and enhance overall situational awareness. The primary objective of this project is to modernize, integrate, and improve the efficiency of emergency response operations throughout Gratiot County.
