Attachment B Contract Approval - Integrated Law & Justice Project January 11, 2005 Page 2 correspond to the efforts of the ILJ Project. The number one goal identified in the report is to, "Assess existing capabilities to develop and implement a County-wide real-time system for collection, analysis and dissemination of disparate data and information." This particular section identifies the use of consultants and existing work groups to assess capabilities and prioritize recommendations. It identifies the need to coordinate with subcommittees to evaluate various technologies and to obtain the necessary technology to support County-wide systems for the collection and dissemination of information. A part of the strategy also includes the analysis of information as it relates to terrorism or the use of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD). The ILJ Steering Committee, in conjunction with Deloitte Consulting, has been working on developing a plan for the integration and sharing of information systems throughout the Criminal Justice System in Orange County as part of the ILJ Strategic Plan. The plan includes such aspects as determining a govemance structure, identifying infrastructure and information systems currently in use or planned for the future, developing a pilot project involving a representative sample of agencies, finalizing the design and selecting a solution, and County-wide implementation. An ILJ evaluation team was established to work with the Deloitte Consultant to develop a Request for Proposal to acquire an RMS information sharing solution among all law enforcement agencies in Orange County. The RFP was released on August 10, 2004, and all responses were due by September 15, 2004. A Bidders Conference was held on August 20, 2004, at the Newport Beach Police Department to address any questions. A total of nine proposals were submitted from the following vendors or teams of vendors: · Avenade (Abbey Group, Forensic Logic) . Crossflo · Fatpot Technology · Global Software (i2, Microsoft, Critical Technology) · Knowledge Computing (Coplink, Unisys) · Oracle (CDI, i2) · Sierra (Templar, Visual Analytics, Open Networks) · SRNOrion (I magis) · . Speedtrack During the initial screening, three proposals were suspended from further evaluation due to either incomplete responses or shortcomings in the level of compliance to the specifications in the RFP. The three vendors eliminated at this stage were Global Software, Crossflo and Speedtrack. The remaining six vendors were invited to provide demonstrations to a second evaluation team of approximately 14 representatives from the various Criminal Justice Agencies, including four police chiefs. The invitation to Fatpot was later withdrawn when they changed their proposed solution. The five demonstrations were scheduled over a one-week period in October 2004.
