Specifications include, but are not limited to: The City needs to procure software and implementation services for an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. The City is considering both traditional on-premise, as well as off-premise (“hosted”) deployment models (“model(s)”). The City will only accept one solution per proposer. Proposers are strongly encouraged to submit proposals for their solution in both the traditional on-premise, as well as hosted deployment models. If proposing both on-premise and hosted deployment models, you must submit one consolidated proposal which clearly details any differences between your on-premise and hosted deployment models throughout the proposal, as well as in Section 11. Additionally, you must complete a separate price proposal for each proposed deployment model. The deployment models will be considered separately for the purpose of scoring, minimum qualifications and responsiveness. Responsibility shall be determined by proposer rather than by deployment model. The City intends to commit up to $4,000,000 for the implementation, acquisition and first year’s maintenance costs for the Core functionality specified in this RFP, and the multi-year cost will be a factor in assessing proposals.
