Description

The City of Iowa City is seeking a comprehensive, portable crime‑scene evaluation solution that can locate, enhance, document, measure, and preserve physical evidence in both field and laboratory settings. The vendor must supply a complete evidence imaging device—including hardware, software, licensing, accessories, training, and support—for a five‑year period, and submit a detailed proposal via the Ion Wave system by the September 17, 2026 deadline. The solution should feature high‑resolution imaging, alternate light source (ALS) capabilities across UV, visible, and near‑IR spectra, integrated digital camera, robust filter system, measurement tools, and an intuitive user interface suitable for single‑operator field deployment. Pricing, product quality, and compliance with city terms will be scored, with a total possible 100 points. • Provide a portable forensic imaging system (or compatible components) with ALS and multi‑spectral capabilities. • Include all hardware, software, batteries, chargers, accessories, and carrying equipment. • Deliver training, technical support, and warranty for a 5‑year operational period. • Submit itemized pricing for device, training, shipping, and handling. • Respond to written questions by 09/10/2026; final proposals due 09/17/2026 via Ion Wave.

Budget estimate

$40,000 – $120,000

The RFP does not disclose a budget. Typical forensic imaging systems range from $30,000 to $80,000 for the hardware alone; adding training ($5,000‑$15,000), shipping/handling ($2,000‑$5,000), and optional accessories can push the total to roughly $40,000‑$120,000. Therefore, a reasonable estimate for the contract value is between $40k and $120k, depending on the selected configuration and service levels.
