Public Safety Technology Infrastructure Master Plan

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

The City of West Sacramento is soliciting proposals from qualified firms or individuals ("Proposer") to develop a Public Safety Technology Infrastructure Master Plan.

In 2020, the City of West Sacramento initiated a Public Safety and Security Project within the Entertainment District, which has expanded into a citywide initiative. As part of this, the City seeks to develop a Public Safety Technology Infrastructure Master Plan to focus on expanding capacity, resilience, and scalability through enhanced fiber connectivity, network architecture, and public safety field technologies such as surveillance cameras and license plate readers (LPRs). The master plan will guide strategic investments in physical technology infrastructure that enable citywide public safety enhancements and support future growth beyond the current Entertainment District.

The selected consultant will assess City’s existing fiber and broadband infrastructure, identify gaps and opportunities for resilient expansion, and develop a phased roadmap for deploying connected systems. The consultant will also address actionable recommendations for staffing levels, roles, and skillsets needed to effectively implement, operate, and maintain these infrastructure investments over time.

More details on the City's needs for this work are provided in the Scope of Work .
