You are ordered by the Chief of Police to run the development of their new CAD system. See the attached RFP and identify if it needs any updating, as well as review if an RFP is the best way to purchase the system. The review of the system will include:
• What functions this system will have and what it will be connected to (ie 911)
• You must identify how you will manage the vendor that is picked (does the RFP have sufficient information about it- if it does, why; if not, what you need to add.
In addition,
• You must identify at least 3 vendors that can provide the service and explain how they meet a minimum criteria (and evaluate if the RFP sufficiently does this and why).
• You must develop a project plan that includes lifecycle planning for once the system is awarded. A Gantt chart must be used.
• You must identify how you will fund the project
• What are any unintended consequences that could develop with this system.
The paper should be 4-5 pages and included at least 2 peer reviewed sources.
