Specifications include, but are not limited to: The University of Louisiana at Lafayette will seek from all qualified vendors, proposals to install and implement an integrated administrative information system (or ERP system). The University is seeking proposals from qualified vendors that provide state-of-the-art software and implementation services. A contract will be awarded to the Proposer who can best meet the needs as defined in our Request for Proposal (RFP). Specific components of the solutions-based RFP will include software acquisition, implementation services, training and documentation services, multiyear support and maintenance contracts, hosting, and payment options. A multi-phase evaluation and grading process will be utilized to select the solution provider. An objective matrix of grading criteria will include an evaluation of the proposer, functional applicability, technical applicability, implementation services, integration with existing University information technology assets, support and maintenance, hosting, and total cost of ownership. The proposers who are reasonably susceptible of being selected for award will be asked to make presentations to the University community utilizing demonstration scripts prepared by the University ERP Procurement Team to assess each Proposers ability to meet University requirements.
