Executive Summary <br />CDCE Incorporated is pleased to respond to the Pleasanton Police Department's Request <br />for Proposal for Mobile Data Computer Hardware and Installation. Our services include <br />installation into PPD's patrol vehicles along with user and system training. CDCE has <br />been providing services to statewide agencies since 1984. Cities, counties and public <br />agencies consistently contract with CDCE because they strongly believe that CDCE <br />provides the highest quality service, the ability to complete projects on schedule, and the <br />resources to provide ongoing technical support and maintenance service. <br />Proposed Solution — The RFP includes many technical requirements to ensure that the <br />Department will be well prepared to incorporate new technologies in the coming years. <br />For this reason, CDCE's response enables future modifications to be made as easy as <br />possible. The Dual Pass Through Antenna feature, combined with the external <br />802.11 /Cellular /GPS antennas will provide the best signal strength and reliability. <br />The typical patrol Crown Victorias will have a Toughbook CF -31 installed in the trunk. <br />The CF -31 will be secured in a Havis docking station and be connected to a roof - <br />mounted antenna for GPS and wireless radio communications. In the front of these <br />vehicles, CDCE will install the PDRC screen and keyboard. We will also run an <br />additional USB cable to the front for future device support. For the purposes of our bid <br />response, CDCE will reuse the screen and keyboard mounts presently in the vehicles. If <br />the department would like to modify the vehicle mounts, CDCE can design a new <br />solution and quote the additional hardware. <br />Seven vehicles in the fleet will not incorporate PDRC screens. In these vehicles, the CF- <br />31 will be mounted in the front of the vehicles in a location approved by PPD. CDCE <br />will reuse the existing mounting hardware when applicable. <br />For all vehicles receiving new MDCs, CDCE will provide verify all mounting solutions <br />with PPD personnel prior to ordering. This guarantees that the department receives its <br />ideal solution for the entire fleet. CDCE will provide only the highest quality <br />components. The mounts will be durable and easily adaptable to fit the various vehicles <br />in the fleet. <br />We will also provide custom -built antennas and power management kits for this project. <br />The antennas can support a variety of software applications because they handle a <br />multitude of GPS protocols. In a single housing, the antennas provide 802.11, cellular, <br />and GPS via USB. Cellular modems and 802.11 are built into each Toughbook, with <br />external antennas to improve reception. The power management kit is a fully enclosed <br />unit with an internal shutdown timer. <br />Lastly, the RFP calls for seven power supplies. CDCE plans to reuse all PDRC and <br />Toughbook power supplies already installed in vehicles. <br />Cd I ail <br />CB Engineered Solutions <br />
