as, responding support agencies. A function of this vehicle is to provide
timely and meaningful information regarding all aspects of the emergency or
disaster. In major emergencies and disasters normal access to cellular and
landline based telephone systems is often interrupted. Access to high-speed
Internet services is invaluable to assist these agency heads in making viable
decisions. The mobile satellite Internet system will provide the following
capabilities:
Provide decision-makers with information regarding current and short term
weather information
Access to Geographical Informational Systems, both within and outside of the
city
Ability to access and search information from the Internet
Mapping data
Video conferencing
Access to email
Connectivity to other Internet based informational systems
Provide VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) access to agencies on the scene;
available at all times whether normal cellular services are functioning or not.
Capability to upload and download data files, video files and other necessary
information
Allow the mobile command vehicle to serve as a WiFi hotspot providing other
users with the ability to access the Internet through this connection.
Ability to provide the above stated capabilities anywhere in the Continental
United States (CONUS)
Request for proposal invitations were mailed to thirty vendors and
specifications were posted on the City?s website. The RFP has been advertised,
opened and evaluated. Proposals were received, December 16, 2009, from the

Operations Division of the Columbus Fire and Emergency Medical Services
Department and the Information Technology Department. An additional
representative from the Emergency Management Division served in an advisory
position.
The City?s Procurement Ordinance Article 3-110, Competitive Sealed Proposals
for the procurement of Equipment, Supplies and Professional Services, governs
the RFP Process. During the process of an RFP there is no formal opening, due
to the possibility of negotiated components of the proposal. In the event
Council does not approve the recommended offeror, no proposal responses or any
negotiated components are made public until after the award of the contract.
If Council does not approve the recommended offeror, the RFP specifications
will be re-advertised. The evaluation results and cost information has been
submitted to the City Manager in a separate memo for informational purposes.

cost savings to the Columbus Office of Homeland Security is significant enough
to purchase the additional items needed to fully equip the robot without
seeking additional funding.

Office of Homeland Security. It shall have applications for both EOD and SWAT
missions. The equipment will assist the Homeland Security Department in any
