The purpose of this RFP is to solicit proposals from qualified Proposers to provide the Grays Harbor County Sheriff’s Office (GHSO) with a solution that interfaces with the current Jail Management Software (Spillman) that incorporates Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology in the tracking, identification, documentation of, but not limited to, the items listed in Section 6.2 (Desired and Required Features). With the ever-changing advancements in technology and services vendors can provide using technology, the County seeks progressive vendors who value providing exceptional customer service not only to the Jail, but the community in which the Sheriff’s Office serves. The desired RFID Solution should provide comprehensive tracking capabilities, efficient data management, and robust security features. With the desired RFID Solution, the GHSO expects to achieve the following goals: (a) Reduce the risk of damaged, lost, altered, or destroyed documentation. (b) Enhance efficiency by improving inmate identification, and the documentation of inmate movement, supplies issued, services provided, headcounts, meals, and statistical reporting. (c) Reduce the effort on jail staff to perform inmate movement documentation. This will free up time for staff to perform other tasks. (d) Leverage existing technologies and resources of the GHSO as much as possible. (e) Provide greater visibility to Command Staff on the movement and location of inmates throughout the jail. (f) Reduce risk of release errors.
