The City of San Marcos has established a multidisciplinary committee that will be responsible for evaluating the Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) replacement program. The committee will evaluate ALPR solutions for multiple departments within the City. The San Marcos City Council has made several recommendations and requirements for a replacement ALPR company. Therefore, a list of questions has been created to aid the City in determining how ALPR companies can meet the needs of the City of San Marcos. The list of questions is available as an Excel spreadsheet that can be downloaded from www.sanmarcostx.gov/eprocurement.
