Questions and Answers
Question:
Understanding that all three RFPs will be awarded separately, will the City look favorably on
coordinated responses among the three SS4A proposals? Will the city consider potential
synergies between vendors/firms in its evaluations of the three separate contracts, or will
each RFP be evaluated strictly separately?
Answer:
The intent of the Safety Data Equipment and the Safety Data Platform RFPs is to support the
development of the Comprehensive Safet Action Plan. It will be important that the selected
firms for each of the solicitations work closely together to deliver the elements of the SS4A
grants. The city will evaluate each of the three solicitations separately, while considering the
interplay of the three solicitations in delivering the required elements of the grant. The city
will consider elements of the proposals that demonstrate how each firm intends to ensure
collaboration and minimize city resource demands related to the coordination of
equipment, software, and plan development.
Question:
The Data Platform RFP mentions the Zuercher Suite (CentralSquare Public Safety Suite Pro).
Is this the city’s public safety data platform? Does the City anticipate incorporating its public
safety records (e.g. dispatch records, local police reports) into the safety data platform?
Similarly, are there additional local crash records to be integrated that are not in the
statewide AASHTOWare Safety system?
Answer:
Zuercher is the system that is used for dispatch. The City of Bozeman, Gallatin County, and
MSU Police have a shared dispatch. Zuercher is also the system utilized for entering crash
reports. Staff have access, via GIS, to basic info on calls for service (updated nightly) and
basic information from crash reports and citations (available the day after they are filed).
Currently the ability of staff to analyze crashes is restricted by the limited information that is
available from the crash report as a direct import to GIS. Most of the details of the crash
report are only available in PDF format. The city utilizes the statewide AASHTOWare system,
but there is a lag in availability of city data that can be up to 12 months. City staff would like
to have updated data more frequently and would like more functionality in data analysis
from the platform. City staff feel that inclusion of calls for service and citations data into the
platform would be beneficial but is not a core requirement.
Question:
For the Data Platform contract, does the City have a preference for in-person or local
support?
Answer:
The city does not have a preference for in person or local support. The city will be evaluating
the support aspect of proposals to understand the level of support offered and how the
support will be delivered.
Question:
Is the City expecting bidders to propose an existing, commercially available platform (ex. an
already existing SaaS product), or are you open to a custom-built solution designed
specifically for Bozeman's needs that uses tools and processes that are already familiar or
close to familiar for the City of Bozeman team?
Answer:
The City anticipates receiving proposals from commercially available off-the-shelf platforms
with little to no customization. However, the City is open to custom-built solutions with a
track record of success with similar projects, and within the City’s dedicated grant funding
for the project as published in the RFP.
Question:
Is it possible to get sample crash data or data from the "demonstration advanced safety
data collection equipment" mentioned in the RFP? How about sample demographic and
street network data?
Answer:
Street network data is publicly available via the City’s GIS data portal, which can be found
at https://public-bozeman.opendata.arcgis.com/. An example of publicly available is
demographic data would be US Census Bureau data. The City does not have example data
from advanced safety data collection equipment as the City has not procured advanced
safety data collection equipment. I have attached a PDF of a sample crash report from the
City’s Police Department.
Question:
When does the City need the platform operational to support the Comprehensive Safety
Action Plan development? What are the critical milestones?
Answer:
The city will be awarding the safety plan contract, the safety data platform and the safety
data equipment contracts along the same timeframe. The safety plan contract process may
take some additional time due to contract format. The city anticipates the safety plan effort
to take approximately 14 months. The desire is for the safety data platform to be utilized to
streamline the data analysis aspects of the planning effort that are on the front end of the
project. For that reason, implementation of the platform is crucial to the timeline for the
plan effort. The grant agreement with FHWA indicates that the final plan document will be
publicly available in December of 2027.
Question:
Is there flexibility in how the $144,000 is allocated across the three years (e.g., higher Year 1
implementation costs vs. lower Years 2-3 support costs)?
Answer:
Yes. The awarded amount needs to cover implementation and three (3) years of support but
how that funding is allocated over the duration of the three years is not specified.
Question:
The RFP mentions integration with Zeurcher Suite, PDF reports, AASHTOWare, and
demonstration equipment. Are all of these required at launch, or can they be
prioritized/phased?
Answer:
The integrations mentioned are intended to provide a complete data picture that will be
utilized in the development of the safety plan. It may be possible that the complete data
picture could be achieved with a prioritized approach. The critical aspect is that the data
platform utilizes the most complete crash data set available and the data from the
demonstration equipment for the analysis that will support plan development.
Question:
Can you provide more details about the advanced safety data collection equipment being
deployed (vendor, data formats, API availability)?
Answer:
A vendor has not been selected to provide the equipment yet. The RFP for that can be found
here:
https://weblink.bozeman.net/WebLink/Browse.aspx?id=311992&dbid=0&repo=BOZEMAN
Question:
What's your expectation for support during Years 2-3? Are you primarily needing: (a) keep
the lights on / bug fixes, (b) minor enhancements based on usage, or (c) significant feature
expansion?
Answer:
The city does not expect to pursue feature enhancement beyond the requirements of the
RFP. The city anticipates needing support on implementation and operation of the platform
including resolving any issues with required functionality. Other support that would be
included as part of offering should be included in the proposal.
Question:
For the three-year demonstration period, what level of ongoing support does the City
expect (e.g., response times, availability hours, number of support hours per month)?
Answer:
Support for the platform is likely to be dependent on the performance of the platform.
Initial usage of the platform will be for the development of the safety plan and usage is
likely to be highest during that period. The city will utilize the platform for ongoing
monitoring of plan metrics as well as evaluation of potential projects during development of
the Capital Improvement Plan. Outside of safety plan development staff usage is likely to be
limited to a few hours a month.
Question:
How will the City measure the success of the platform demonstration? What specific
outcomes or capabilities are most critical?
Answer:
The critical capabilities for the platform are to intake and centralize crash reports; extract,
and display information from the crash reports, potentially from multiple sources including
PDF files; overlay information contained in the crash reports with other data such as
roadway characteristics and demographics; and analyze the combinations of data to help
identify high injury networks, high crash locations, and locations that present as potential
safety concerns. .
Question:
Will the City be open to being a reference client for the platform with other SS4A recipients
if the project is successful?
Answer:
The City is generally open to projects being used as references in future submittals.

NARRATIVE:CFS23-033230
Driver 1 stated he was traveling eastbound on W. College St. approaching the intersection of 15th Ave. He stated he was driving into the sun and did
not see the Pedestrian in the crosswalk. His vehicle clipped the Pedestrian hitting her lower left leg, causing some visible injury. The Pedestrian stated
she was crossing in the crosswalk, saw Driver 1 approaching from a ways back, and thought there was plenty of time to cross. As the Pedestrian was
almost all the way across the street, southbound, she realized Driver 1 was not slowing and tried to quickly move out of the way but got clipped by the
vehicle.
