- Description
- THE US DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, UNITED STATES TRUSTEE PROGRAM (USTP) IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ADMINISTRATION OF BANKRUPCY FILINGS. ONE ASPECT OF THOSE RESPONSIBILITIES IS THE CONDUCT OF SECTION 341(a) MEETINGS OF CREDITORS WHICH MUST BE RECORDED AND MAINTAINED FOR A SPECIFICED TIME PERIOD. THE CURRENT METHOD OF RECORDING THE MEETINGS IS TO RECORD MULTIPLE BACK-TO-BACK MEETINGS ON 45 MINUTE CASSETTE TAPES. THE BENEFITS OF THE CURRENT RECORDING METHOD ARE THE EASE OF USE, UNIVERSAL FORMAT, AND THE ABILITY TO ACCESS THE TAPES FOR REVIEW. ON THE CONTRARY, THE RECORDING QUALITY IS VERY POOR, IT LACKS THE CAPABILITY TO EASILY LOCATE WHERE A MEETING BEGINS OR ENDS, AND THE TAPE MEDIA IS FRAGILE. THE USTP IS INTERESTED IN KNOWING WHAT TECHNOLOGY IS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE TO REPLACE THE CURRENT METHOD OF RECORDING THE SECTION 341(a) MEETINGS TO ENSURE THAT BOTH USTP PERSONNEL AND THE PUBLIC POSSESS A RECORDING PRODUCT THAT IS USER-FRIENDLY, OF THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY, PROVIDING A QUALITY, LONGLASTING DIGITAL RECORDING THAT CAN BE EASILY CREATED, RETRIEVED AND DUPLICATED. THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENT FOR THE RECORDING EQUIPMENT SOLUTION IS TO BE DIGITAL; USER-FRIENDLY FOR CREATING THE RECORDING AND MAKING A CD; POSSESS THE CAPABILITY OF INSERTION OF TRACKS OR OTHER TIMEMARK FOR EACH MEETING AT THE TIME OF INITIAL RECORDING. THE CAPABILITY TO LABEL EACH MEETING WITH A SHORT TEST TITLE, SUCH AS CASE NUMBER IS DESIRABLE. IT IS PREFERRED THAT THE FINAL OUTPUT BE CD, PLAYABLE THROUGH A PERSONAL COMPUTER. ANY SOLUTION REQUIRING SPECIALIZED SOFTWARE TO PLAY FINAL RECORDING MUST BE FREELY DISTRIBUTABLE TO THE PUBLIC. ANY SOLUTION REQUIRING TRANSFER FROM INITIAL RECORDING TO FINAL OUTPUT MUST REQUIRE MINIMAL USER INPUT AND TECHNICAL SKILL. INTERESTED SOURCES SHOULD PROVIDE A TEST MODEL WITH PRODUCT LITERATURE INCLUDING TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS. THE TEST MODEL WILL BE RETURNED WITHIN 30 DAYS FROM RECEIPT. IF A TEST MODEL IS NOT AVAILABLE, PLEASE PROVIDE COMPLETE PRODUCT INFORMATION.
