CITY OF DUBUQUE, IOWA
REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR
AUTOMATED SPEED CAMERA ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM
The City of Dubuque is currently seeking sealed proposals from qualified firms with demonstrated experience in automated speed enforcement to provide and operate photo enforcement equipment and citation processing service as outlined herein. Services to be provided include, but are not necessarily limited to, provision and installation of equipment, system upgrades and maintenance, violation identification assistance, management information reports, and citation processing and mailing services. All proposals will be evaluated.
The City of Dubuque has identified automated speed enforcement cameras as systems that can assist the Dubuque Police Department in traffic safety and accident reduction. The City recognizes that these systems can provide year-round, 24- hour enforcement and are not dependent on the direct, live observation of violations. In order to maximize accident prevention and safety enforcement while minimizing staff involvement, the City of Dubuque is seeking proposals from qualified firms to provide automated traffic violation enforcement.
This solicitation is a Request for Proposals (RFP). Proposals will be reviewed by a Selection Committee that will evaluate each proposal according to the selection criteria outlined in the RFP. Interviews may be requested with one or more firms responding to the RFP. All costs associated with preparing a response or attendance at subsequent interviews are to be the Vendor’s responsibility.
The award of this contract, if any, will be to the firm or firms deemed most qualified, in accordance with the selection criteria, to perform the services outlined in this RFP and other services as deemed necessary by the City. Pricing, while an important factor, will be only one of the criteria used to evaluate the responses to the RFP.
The City may reject any proposal not in compliance with all prescribed public bidding procedures and requirements and may reject any or all proposals. The City reserves the right to waive any requirement or condition of the RFP upon finding that it is in the public’s best interest to do so or any irregularities in a response. The City reserves the right to award to one or multiple vendors. All proposals will become the property of the City of Dubuque. The Vendor must clearly identify any part of its proposal deemed to be proprietary information.
