The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (DRC) has asked the Department of Administrative Services (DAS) to solicit competitive sealed proposals (“Proposals”) for the development and implementation of an integrated Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) system for the State of Ohio (the “Work”). As a result of the implementation of a Contractor‐hosted integrated ERP system will be implemented and used by various locations of Ohio Penal Industries (“OPI”), a division of DRC. If a suitable offer is made in response to this RFP, the State of Ohio (the “State”), through DAS, may enter into a contract (the “Contract”) to have the selected offeror (the “Contractor”) perform all or part of the Work. This RFP provides details on what is required to submit a Proposal for the Work, how the State will evaluate the Proposals, and what will be required of the Contractor in performing the Work. This RFP also gives the estimated dates for the various events in the submission process, selection process, and performance of the Work. While these dates are subject to change, prospective offerors must be prepared to meet them as they currently stand. Once awarded, the term of the Contract will be from the award date until the Work is completed to the satisfaction of the State and the Contractor is paid or June 30, 2017, whichever is sooner. The State may renew this Contract for up to four (4) additional one‐year term(s), subject to and contingent on the discretionary decision of the Ohio General Assembly to appropriate funds for the Contract in each new biennium. Any such renewal of all or part of the Contract also is subject to the satisfactory performance of the Contractor and the needs of the DRC.
