RFP - Fixed Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) Data System

The Albany Police Department (APD), on behalf of the City of Albany, invites qualified companies and organizations to submit written proposals for a fixed Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) data system. This solicitation seeks a comprehensive solution inclusive of all required hardware, software, installation, training, and services as specified herein.

In addition to the fixed ALPR system described herein, the Albany Police Department is also soliciting bids for ALPR equipment to support its Parking Enforcement operations. The City is seeking mobile ALPR technology capable of scanning license plates at low speeds along designated parking routes, identifying vehicles with outstanding parking violations in real time. The parking enforcement solution will operate as a standalone system independent of the fixed ALPR platform. All data governance, retention, and privacy standards outlined in this RFP apply equally to the parking enforcement solution. Pricing for parking enforcement equipment, software, subscriptions, and maintenance must be clearly itemized and submitted separately from the fixed ALPR pricing.
