Request for Information

Property & Evidence Correction Lockers

The City of Redmond Police Department (RPD) is seeking information from qualified vendors

regarding secure Property & Evidence locker solutions equipped with badge readers. The system

must allow property retrieval by specific individuals through assigned credentials.

Posting Date: January 30, 2026

Optional Site Tour: February 10, 2026 at 11:00PM – 12:00PM (PST)

Background

The City of Redmond, WA is a suburb of Seattle and hub for residential and employment growth due to its

strong technology business sector. The City encompasses an area of over 17 square miles and is located

less than 20 miles east of downtown Seattle. The City has three urban growth centers in Downtown,

Overlake, and Marymoor, which are expected to grow significantly in the next 20 years. Today, the City has

about 82,000 residents and 99,000 jobs and by 2050, it is expected to have 152,000 residents and 131,000

jobs.

Introduction

This Request for Information (RFI) is issued to gather information and identify qualified vendors regarding

secure Property & Evidence locker solutions equipped with badge readers. The system must allow property

retrieval by specific individuals through assigned credentials.

Alternatively, RPD is also interested in retrofit solutions that can upgrade existing pass-through evidence

lockers without smart card readers to meet the same security and access control requirements.

This RFI is for planning purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation or obligation to procure goods

or services. Responses will assist the City in understanding current market capabilities and in shaping future

procurement strategies.

Proposals that are submitted in response to this Invitation to Bid or Request for Information are subject to

public release under the Washington State Public Records Act, chapter 42.56 RCW (“PRA”). Respondents

release, the City will review the proposal and then determine whether the information must be released

under the PRA based solely on the information provided by the respondent.
