QUESTION: In Section III, within the RFP, under ‘Technical Capabilities’, it states: “Capability with existing software.” Would the City clarify its remarks to help vendors know which software, or which use-case scenarios it has in mind, so they can better understand the desired capability?
ANSWER: This is actually in Section VIII under the Technical Capabilities section.

Especially any type specialty player, or converter separate from the system you propose to provide.
