Background The City of Sarasota has a population of approximately 58,000 and is in a high-density traffic area and regularly experiences traffic incidents related to the failure of motorists to obey duly erected traffic control devices, which exposes the citizens to the dangers of personal injury and property damage. The City and the Police Department are concerned with the number of red light traffic crashes and their cost in human terms as well as property damage. This strategy is being considered to effectively reduce the significant dangers presented to motorists and pedestrians by the failure to stop for a red light. The City believes an automated camera red light traffic enforcement system will be effective in enforcing laws requiring vehicles to stop for red lights; therefore, freeing City police personnel to r e s p o n d to other, and sometimes more significant incidents as well as serious crime. A camera would be installed on or near streets in the City, at selected locations chosen by the City. Via this RFP document the City of Sarasota is soliciting proposals for the implementation, administration and servicing of an automated camera red light traffic enforcement system. This system should combine vehicle detection and digital imaging technology with a complete turnkey program for supplying, installing, powering, and maintaining the cameras and all other components.

Display the images with sufficient qualityfor the police department to verify each violation C. Print and mail notices as required by the police department d. Live monitoring and recording of video via a smart phone or tablet. e. Can utilize LPR technology while capturing red light camera violations f. Collect fines g. Provide with notifying violators of scheduled appeal hearing dates h. Provide with notifying violators of appeal adjudications This system should be accessible on the Internet by anyone desiring to review and/or pay a Notice of Infraction fine that has been provided access by the Police Department, as well as Police Department staff to perform the tasks described in this RFP. This should be accomplishable with only a personal computer, an Internet connection, a web browser, and security authorization. The contract resulting from acceptance of a proposal by the City shall be in a form supplied or approved by the City, and shall reflect the specifications in this RFP. The City reserves the right to reject any proposed agreement or contract that does not conform to the specifications contained in this RFP, and which is not approved by the City Attorney's Office. 17-29 Red Light Enforcement 84 of 105 Exhibit A Opens 4121/2017 at 2:30 P.M.
