The solution must capture video or photos of illegal passes, provide interior bus monitoring, GPS tracking, and automatically generate enforcement reports for the Sheriff’s Office within 30 days. All hardware, software, installation, maintenance, and network hosting are to be supplied at no cost to the District, with the vendor receiving revenue through a cost‑revenue‑share model based on estimated civil‑penalty collections.

The contract includes a three‑year base term and optional renewal periods of up to three years each (maximum six‑year term).
