The Chicago Housing Authority (CHA) seeks turnkey proposals from qualified vendors to modernize and expand its camera system by integrating the latest technology. The project includes upgrading 5,288 existing cameras to a minimum of 4K resolution, adding 1,674 new cameras at monitored locations to enhance coverage, and implementing new Genetec systems at thirteen additional sites. Price proposals must include all equipment, materials, and labor. The CHA also requires technical support, updates, and replacement plan. These upgrades aim to improve video quality, analytics, incident, and performance tracking, provide tamper protection, allow for enhanced reporting capabilities, and correct or remove vulnerabilities in the current system. Additionally, the enhancements will support scalability and expand storage capacity. The resulting contract from this Request for Proposal (RFP) will be issued in the third quarter of 2025.
