3.         The department entered into a contract with Unisys in 1995 to provide a driver

license digital imaging system pursuant to Request for Proposal #065-95.  The contract and renewal will expire September 30, 2003.  Unisys submitted an offer to continue providing driver licenses and identification cards for twelve additional months at a price of $.99 per driver license/identification card.  The Legislature authorized extension of the current driver license contract and provided necessary funding in line item 2369 of Section 6 of the Appropriations Act for fiscal year 2003-2004, which was signed into law by the Governor on June 23, 2003.

system until a new system is fully operational and requests approval to contract with Unisys effective October 1, 2003.  This will be for a term of 12 months, and the contract may be extended on a month-to-month basis for an additional three months, at a cost of $.99 per driver license and identification card.

4.         The department requests approval to contract with Digimarc ID Systems for an enhanced digital image driver license system at $1.57 per license.  This will be a five-year contract with a five-year renewal option, which replaces our expiring contract with our current vendor.  The proposed new system will be implemented over a 14-month period subsequent to the execution of the contract.  The new contract will provide both the department and participating tax collectors statewide with new equipment, an integrated issuance system, and a more secure process and document.

After significant research and development efforts involving department personnel and interested stakeholders, the department issued Invitation to Negotiate #003-02 on January 31, 2002.  Two months of negotiations followed selection of the top three respondents on April 23, 2002.

Best-and-final offers were submitted June 26, discussed with individual respondents July 9, 10, and 11, and evaluated July 16, 2002.  A Notice of Intent to Award to Digimarc ID Systems was posted at 8:05 AM July 17, 2002.  Digimarc offered the highest scoring proposal and the lowest price.  Equipment, software, inventory, and driver license security features met or exceeded all requirements.  No protests were received.

The Legislature approved the new digital driver license system and provided necessary funding in line item 2369 of Section 6 of the Appropriations Act for fiscal year 2003-2004, which was signed into law by the Governor on June 23, 2003.
