Request for Information (RFI) - Closed Circuit Television (CCTV)

Project Description: This Request for Information (RFI) (Notice of Intent to Designate Sole Source/Brand) is to determine if the specified commodity or service is available from multiple providers, or if an alternate commodity or service is available that would meet the County’s needs. This is not a request for pricing or a purchase commitment.
The following commodity or service is thought to be available from only a sole source (or single source) and is the only commodity/services that meets the County’s needs:
NextGen Security, LLC (formerly Micro Security Solutions, Inc. (MSSI)) is the current provider of the closed-circuit television (CCTV) video surveillance system, including all associated equipment and services necessary to support integration with the existing system at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL). The existing CCTV infrastructure at FLL consists of Axis cameras, along with American Dynamics' software and storage components. The system was originally engineered, developed, and implemented by MSSI, which also served as the integrator responsible for the customized software configuration. Following MCCI's acquisition by NextGen Security, LLC, the firm continues to provide the specialized services required for the ongoing implementation, maintenance, and support of the CCTV system.
This RFI will remain posted until closing date and time.
Prospective Vendors are requested to provide information regarding their ability to provide the commodity or service described or written explanation or other documentation contesting the proposed RFI designation.
If you are capable of meeting or exceeding the County’s requirements for the specified commodity or service, respond to this RFI through the electronic bidding system. Vendor should upload any supporting information in the electronic bidding system as part of its response to assist the County in determining if commodity or service is comparable, is available from multiple suppliers, and meets the County’s needs. The Director of Purchasing shall have sole authority in deciding what is comparable.
The Director of Purchasing shall consider such submittals and notify all submitting vendors (thru the electronic bidding system) of the decision whether to designate as a Sole Source/Brand, which decision shall not be subject to objection, protest, or appeal.
