• The development of a project implementation plan and schedule (due within two weeks of project start)
• A recommended list of stakeholders to interview (due within one month of project start)
• The creation of an inventory of technology contracts (due within six weeks of project start)
• An assessment of all technology needs (due within two months of project start)
• The project will begin with a kick-off meeting between the County and the Contractor(s). This will allow the Contractor(s) to meet the Department’s project manager and discuss project expectations.
• The Department’s project manager will be the Contractor’s primary point of contact. The project manager will answer questions about the department, review deliverables, and support the Contractor(s) with overall project needs and assistance.
• Contractor(s) will be provided with access to county systems and personnel. This will help the Contractor(s) complete the inventory of technology contracts and the assessment of technology needs.
• After completing the four deliverables in section 2 above, which are necessary inputs to the final RFP, the Contractor(s) will work with multiple stakeholders on an iterative RFP process. Contractor(s) will receive a draft template and will be expected to complete an initial draft, after which there will be four levels of review:
• Police Technology Review: this review will involve the Department’s project manager, who will assist with the additional reviews.
• Stakeholder Review: this review will allow stakeholders who provided input in the Needs Assessment to review the initial draft of the RFP.
• Police Finance Review: this review will involve the Department’s Financial resources, which will ensure it is consistent with the expectations of County Procurement.
• County Procurement Review: the final review will include deliberations with County Procurement personnel. The Office of Procurement must sign off on the final RFP before it can be made available to the public.
• The Police Department requires users to conduct all interviews and meetings onsite. This includes at least one weekly meeting with the Department’s project manager. This meeting will review the Contractor’s schedule and identify any risks or issues.
