Cameras and Accessories Purchase Phase I

The RTD Transit Police Division operates a complex security model dedicated to providing a safe and secure transit system for our riders, employees, and the community. The division is comprised of the chief of police, one deputy chief, one administrative lieutenant, four sergeants, and a team of transit police officers. The division is supported by two 911 dispatch centers operating 24/7, a video investigation unit and more than 600 contracted police and uniformed security officers. The transit police jurisdiction encompasses nearly 2,400 square miles, operating in eight counties and 40 cities across the Denver Metro region.

RTD will award one single purchase order from this RFQ.

The RTD manages and maintains a Closed-Circuit TV (CCTV) network around the District for the security and protection of the riding public and RTD personnel and assets.

RTD currently uses the Video Management software platform for the management of our video surveillance system. This platform, along with cameras, workstations and a high-speed IP transport network allows for recording, transmission, viewing, analytics and event management. Cameras are located on existing rail platforms, buildings, passenger tunnels, in parking facilities, at bus drop-off areas, and at gate crossings. The cameras are connected to existing IP switches for transport over RTD’s IT high speed IP backbone. Recording and management of the video streams is provided by multiple Network Video Recorder (NVR) platforms and the required storage located in the wayside communication houses and at the Security Command Center (SCC). In addition, the cameras are monitored real-time by security technicians and stored for archival purposes. This system allows the Security Command Center (SCC) and Commuter Rail Maintenance Facility (CRMF) users to view all real time or recorded video along RTD’s existing video real time system from a single interface.
