The Evaluation Committee resulted in Jenoptik North America, Inc. ("Jenoptik") the top-ranked

The Committee highlighted several key advantages of the Jenoptik solution. One notable feature
is the inclusion of bi-directional cameras, which enhance monitoring capabilities by capturing data
from both directions of travel. Additionally, the system offers intuitive search functionality, making
it easier for users to retrieve and analyze data efficiently. The Committee also underscored
Jenoptik's extensive industry experience, noting that the company was the original developer of

Management USA Inc. well qualified and should be considered if the negotiations with Jenoptik
are not successful.

references provided positive feedback.

(FOR ORDINANCES ONLY)
If applicable, the Business Impact Estimate (BIE) was published on:
See BIE at: https:llwww.miamibeachfl.govlcity-halllcity-clerklmeetinq-notices/
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The speed detection camera system for school zones program, initiated in response to new State
legislation, therefore presents no historical context for the City regarding the potential number of
infractions. As HB 657 dictates the City will retain $60 to administer speed detection systems in
school zones and other public safety initiatives and will remit $40 to entities as follows $20 to the
Department of Revenue for deposit into the General Revenue Fund-. $12 to the School District for
school security initiatives, student transportation, or safety of student walking conditions. $5 to
the County or municipality for the School Guard Recruitment and Retention Program; and $3 to
the Law Enforcement Criminal Justice Standards and Training Trust Fund.
Jenoptik North America, Inc., in its proposal response to the RFP. proposed that it will retain 20%
of the $60.00. Based on this revenue-sharing structure of the RFP. Jenoptik would receive $12
per ticket and the City will receive $48 revenue per ticket. In addition, a key advantage of the
Citys program is that the City will not incur any installation, maintenance, calibration,
administration, or regulatory compliance costs, with all financial terms remaining open for
negotiation, offering flexibility as the program grows.
For comparison, Miami-Dade County's school zone camera enforcement program, piggybacking
from a City of Alpharetta, GA contract, follows a tiered payment system where the vendor would
be entitled to 33% for the first 100 systems installed, 32% for the 101 to 200 systems installed,
31% for the 201 to 300 installed, and 30% for 301 or more systems installed. The City's program
will initially launch with just six (6) sites, allowing for expansion as needed. The percentage
revenue proposed to be retained by Jenoptik is 13% lower than that of Miami-Dade County,
amounting to an additional $8.20 per ticket based on the related tier (33%) within the County's
model.
CONCLUSION
Based on the foregoing. it is recommended that the Mayor and City Commission approve the
Resolution authorizing the Administration to enter into negotiations with Jenoptik North America.
Inc. as the top-ranked proposer. If the Administration is not successful in negotiating an
agreement with Jenoptik North America, Inc., authorizing the Administration to enter into
negotiations with RedSpeed Florida LLC., as the second-ranked proposer. If the Administration
is not successful in negotiating an agreement with RedSpeed Florida LLC.. authorizing the
Administration to enter into negotiations with Modaxo Traffic Management USA Inc. as the third-
ranked proposer. Further, authorizing the City Manager and City Clerk to execute an agreement
upon the conclusion of successful negotiations by the Administration.
