1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Brief Overview of the Project

The Information Technology Division (ITD) is soliciting proposals from qualified

proposers to provide a turnkey solution for the development and implementation of a Port of

Los Angeles Digital Twin (Digital Twin) described in this Request For Proposals (RFP). The

Digital Twin will be a living digital model of the Port of Los Angeles (The Port), integrating

real-time spatial and operational data to represent port assets, infrastructure, and

processes.

The City of Los Angeles’ Harbor Department (Harbor Department) plans to award

one or more agreements based on the proposal evaluation criteria set forth in this RFP.

The selected Consultant(s) will design, configure, and deploy an integrated platform

of applications, dashboards, and analytical tools that enable Port staff and stakeholders to

visualize operations in 2D/3D, analyze scenarios, and improve decision-making. This

includes the delivery of multiple functional capabilities (described in Section 2.2.1) that

together provide enhanced situational awareness, efficiency, safety, and data-driven insight

across Port operations.

The selected Consultant(s) will be responsible for providing all personnel, materials,

and services necessary to successfully implement a Digital Twin in alignment with the Port’s

strategic objectives.

The duration of the agreement(s) awarded as a result of this RFP is expected to be three

years from the date of execution. It will encompass all phases of the Digital Twin

implementation in this RFP, from requirements and design through development, testing,

deployment, and initial support. The Harbor Department seeks a turnkey solution that not

only delivers the specified Digital Twin capabilities but also ensures knowledge transfer and

a sustainable framework for future expansion.

1.2 The Port of Los Angeles

The Port of Los Angeles is America’s Port®, the nation’s premier gateway for

international commerce and the busiest seaport in the Western Hemisphere. Located in San

Pedro Bay, 25 miles south of downtown Los Angeles, the Port encompasses 7,500 acres of

land and water along 43 miles of waterfront.

The Port features both passenger and cargo terminals, including cruise, container,

automobile, breakbulk, dry and liquid bulk, and warehouse facilities that manage billions of

dollars’ worth of cargo each year. One of the world’s busiest seaports and leading gateway

for international trade in North America, the Port of Los Angeles has ranked as the number

one container port in the United States each year since 2000. In 2025, the Port handled a

total of 10.2 million container units.

The Port of Los Angeles is a department of the City of Los Angeles (also known as

the Los Angeles Harbor Department) and is governed by the Los Angeles Board of Harbor
