1.0 REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS SUMMARY

1.1 SUMMARYThrough this Request for Qualifications (this “RFQ”), the PORTLAND DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION (“PDC”), the economic development and urban renewal agency for the City of Portland, Oregon, requests statements of qualifications (“responses”) from experienced and qualified vendors (“Respondents” or “you(r)”) to provide, install, and maintain an enterprise resource planning system (“ERP System” or “Software”).

This RFQ represents the first step in a two-step procurement process. PDC is issuing this RFQ to prequalify (or “short-list”) a subset of the Respondents to participate in a subsequent Request for Proposals process. ALL PARTIES INTERESTED IN PROVIDING AN ERP SYSTEM TO PDC MUST PREQUALIFY THROUGH THIS RFQ.

Respondents should note that this RFQ is a re-solicitation of RFQ #12-25. See Sections 1.5 and 5.16 for details.

1.4 PRE-SUBMITTAL CONFERENCEWhile a pre-submittal conference is not scheduled for this RFQ, respondents may wish to review Addendum 1, Section 2.0 of RFQ #12-25 for PDC’s answers to questions received at the April 15, 2013 pre-submittal conference for the prior RFQ.

1.5 RE-ISSUE OF PREVIOUS RFQAs mentioned above, this RFQ is a re-solicitation to shortlist vendors in providing an enterprise resource planning system to PDC. The previous solicitation was RFQ #12-25. During the evaluation process of the previous RFQ, it became clear to PDC that we should revisit the mandatory and desirable software functions and give those that did not respond the chance to do so and those that responded to revise their responses. PDC has also refined the “Attachment A” in this RFQ to estimate the number and type of ERP system users.

All responses received for RFQ #12-25 will be held in confidence until the conclusion of this RFQ process. Additional details for vendors that responded to RFQ #12-25 can be found in Section 5.16 of this RFQ. Material difference between this RFQ and RFQ #12-25 in Section 3.0 are noted as follows: bold underline for new language and bold strikethrough for deleted language.

Lastly, vendors should refer to PDC’s answers in Addenda 1 and 2 of RFQ #12-25 before submitting questions for this RFQ.

2.0 PDC AND PROJECT BACKGROUND

2.1 ABOUT THE PORTLAND DEVELOPMENT COMMISSIONCreated by Portland voters in 1958, PDC has been a driving force in Portland’s reputation for vibrancy and livability. As Portland’s urban renewal and economic development agency, PDC focuses on investing in the job creation, innovation, and economic opportunity that will transform Portland into one of the world’s most desirable and equitable cities.

As the city's economic development agency, PDC helps existing and new businesses navigate a wide variety of public and non-profit resources, assists businesses in evaluating Portland as a viable and effective location where a company can thrive, and connects business owners with financial and technical resources that can give companies a competitive edge. For more information, visit the PDC website at http://www.pdc.us

2.2 PROJECT BACKGROUNDOver the next ten years, PDC will transition from a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) funded redevelopment agency to a smaller economic development agency. A necessary element to this transition is a substantial reduction in the size of the organization, including staff and the associated operating budget. The transition from an organization that consistently had over 250 employees to one with potentially fewer than 100 permanently, alters the variables that drive businesses processes and the size and nature of the organization’s IT infrastructure.

We are beginning the process of reviewing those systems we have in place, what it has historically taken in agency staffing to support them, and whether we can find solutions that require less overhead and greater business process improvement opportunities.

PDC implemented our ERP system, Lawson, in 1999. Please see Sections 2.3 and Exhibits A through C for information related to PDC’s current financial systems and information technology environment.

2.3 CURRENT ERP SYSTEMThe PDC currently utilizes Lawson S3 application suites and technology products for its Financial, Human Resource, Procurement, and analytical requirements. Complementary software, both third-party and in-house developed, provide additional solutions for time entry, budgeting, and loan and grant servicing, all of which are tightly integrated with the Lawson system. Details of the current ERP environment, interfaces and transaction volumes can be found in the following exhibits located at the end of this RFQ:

Exhibit A – Current PDC Environment Exhibit B – Key Statistics Exhibit C – Interfaces

2.4 PROJECT OBJECTIVES With this Project, PDC seeks to achieve the following:

Reduce the total cost of ownership of its IT systems Right-sizing of infrastructure and resources to meet evolving application and user

demand Leverage latest technologies (e.g., cloud-based solutions) to reduce dependency of on-

premise resources Maximize availability of remote and mobile computing tools

Successful data migration audited for integrity before “Go-Live”

Reporting and query tools that provide flexibility in reporting and use of data without need for programming knowledge.

Ability to download data to a file to analyze, chart and/or perform decision support analysis without danger of corrupting “live” data

An event driven system to manage and streamline business processes with prompts for required actions, tracking and monitoring.

Reduce the need for supporting applications

Reduce reliance on IT staff to manage complex infrastructure, disaster recovery, upgrades and application development

Ability to extend the system through self-authored content to support strategies of the future.

Responses should address the submittal requirements of this RFQ in a clear, concise, and direct manner. Unnecessarily elaborate or lengthy Responses are not desired.

5.3 Preparation Costs. Respondents are responsible for all costs related responding to or participating in this RFQ (such as any interview or negotiations that may be requested or required).

5.4 Reserved.

5.5 Requests for Clarification or Change. All requests for clarification or change to any matter contained in this RFQ (e.g., the system functionality, procurement process, evaluation criteria, etc.) must be submitted by email to the Solicitation Coordinator identified in Section 1.2 of this RFQ. All such requests for clarification or change must be received by the Solicitation Coordinator no later than the “Deadline for Questions and Requests for Changes,” listed in Section 1.3 of this RFQ.

5.6 Changes to this RFQ. All clarifications and changes to any matter contained in this RFQ will be issued in the form of a written addendum to this RFQ. Unless otherwise stated, Respondents are not required to return addenda with their response; however, Respondents are responsible for making themselves aware of, obtaining and incorporating any changes made in any addendum into their final response. Failure to do so may cause the Respondent’s response to be rejected.

Up to the date and time responses are due, it is the responsibility of all parties interested in this RFQ to refer frequently to PDC's “RFQs/RFQs and Bid Opportunities” website to check for any addenda that have been issued for this RFQ. PDC may make a courtesy effort to notify interested parties that an addendum has been issued for this RFQ; however, interested parties are ultimately responsible for being aware of any addenda issued by PDC and modifying their response accordingly.

5.7 Sole Point of Contact. After this RFQ has been issued and before the NSL has been published, direct all questions, comments, and/or requests for clarification or change regarding this RFQ, or the subsequent RFP, to the Solicitation Coordinator identified in Section 1.2 of this RFQ.

5.8 Restrictions on Communications. Respondents must not communicate with members of the evaluation committee, the PDC board of commissioners or any PDC employee not specifically named in this RFQ, except upon invitation by PDC in a formal interview or demonstration.

5.9 Public Records and Disclosure. All responses submitted for this RFQ will become the property of PDC and will be subject to disclosure pursuant to Oregon Public Records Law (ORS 192), except

RFQ #12-34, ERP Software (Re-Issue) Page 11 of 19

Page 12: vmw.pdc.usvmw.pdc.us/pdf/rfps/2013/rfq-12-34-enterprise-resource... · Web viewMicrosoft Windows Server 2008 R2 (virtualized) Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Microsoft Office 2010 (migrating

those portions of a response that a Respondent requests exemption from disclosure consistent with ORS 192 and the requirements herein. Any portion of a response that a Respondent claims to constitute a “trade secret” must meet the requirements of ORS 192.501(2) and be easily separable from the rest of the response to facilitate public review of the non-confidential portion of the response. All such sections must be CLEARLY AND CONSPICUOUSLY marked with the following:

“This information constitutes a trade secret under ORS 192.501(2), and shall not be disclosed except in accordance with the Oregon Public Records Law.”

If a Respondent marks every page or includes a blanket statement that the entire response is “Confidential” or “Proprietary,” that response will not be deemed to have been submitted in confidence and, upon request, the entirety of such a response will be disclosed. PDC will take reasonable measures to hold in confidence all response contents marked in the way described above, but shall not be liable for the release of any information when required by law or court order, whether pursuant to ORS 192 or otherwise. Unless this RFQ is cancelled, Responses and evaluation results will not be made a part of the public record until PDC has issued its Notice to Short-List.

5.10 Information Submitted. It is the sole responsibility of each Respondent to submit information related to the submittal requirements contained in this RFQ and PDC is under no obligation to request such information if it is not included within your response. However, PDC may (a) request a Respondent to submit additional information during or after the response evaluation period; or (b) overlook, correct, or require a Respondent to correct any obvious clerical or mathematical error(s) in their response.

5.11 Method of Evaluation. All responsive Responses will be reviewed and scored by an evaluation committee. This committee will include staff of PDC and potentially one or more external reviewers. Using the Evaluation Criteria listed in Section 4 of this RFQ, evaluators will use their independent judgment to score the quality, completeness, and appropriateness of each Respondent’s written response as well as any relevant information that PDC may subsequently request or discover. PDC will then add individual committee members’ scores to produce an initial ranking. The highest-ranked Respondents will be considered the Finalist Respondents.

5.12 Product Demonstrations (Optional). At PDC’s discretion, the Finalist Respondents may be requested to provide an on-site or web-based presentation and/or demonstrations of their proposed Software to PDC. If presentations and/or demonstrations are requested, the Respondent(s) will be offered alternative dates from which to select. In addition, visits to existing Respondent customer sites that are running the proposed solution in production may be conducted by PDC staff.

5.13 Short-Listing Process. Whether or not interviews are conducted, PDC expects to short-list the top-ranked Respondents to this RFQ and invite those Respondents to participate in a subsequent request for proposals (“RFP”) process. If interviews are not conducted, PDC will short-list the Respondents that have the highest cumulative scores. If interviews are conducted, PDC reserves the right to either re-score the interviewed Respondents responses or use the original scores solely as the basis to determine the list of Respondents to interview and short-list a certain number of Respondents based on the cumulative strength of the written responses and interviews. THOSE FIRMS NOT SHORT-LISTED THROUGH THIS RFQ ARE NOT ELIGIBLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE SUBSEQUENT RFP.

5.14 Notice to Short-List. After completion of the evaluation process, PDC will issue a “Notice to Short-List” (“NSL”). The NSL will identify all firms that responded to this RFQ and those

RFQ #12-34, ERP Software (Re-Issue) Page 12 of 19

Page 13: vmw.pdc.usvmw.pdc.us/pdf/rfps/2013/rfq-12-34-enterprise-resource... · Web viewMicrosoft Windows Server 2008 R2 (virtualized) Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Microsoft Office 2010 (migrating

respondents selected to participate in the RFP. All respondents will be given seven (7) calendar days to review the solicitation file at PDC offices. Appointments can be made by contacting the Solicitation Coordinator identified in Section 1.2 of this RFQ.

5.15 Protest of Short-Listing Process. Any protest of PDC’s NSL must be submitted in writing to the Solicitation Coordinator of this RFQ within seven (7) calendar days of issuance of the NSL. The envelope containing the protest must be marked with the Respondent’s name and corresponding solicitation number, and conspicuously identified as an “RFQ Protest.” Only those Respondents that are adversely affected by PDC’s short-list decision can protest the NSL; i.e., those Respondents who are in a position to be short-listed had PDC not committed a material violation of a provision of this RFQ or applicable statute. The Respondent’s written protest must specify the legal, procedural, and/or factual grounds upon which the protest is based as well as a statement of relief requested. The judgment used by individual review committee members when scoring Responses is not grounds to protest the short-list decision. Protests not asserted or not properly asserted within the timelines described in this section will not be considered.

5.16 Re-Issue of RFQ. PDC thanks all respondents to RFQ #12-25 for taking the time to reply to that RFQ. All submissions will be held in confidence until the completion of this RFQ. With respect to this RFQ, respondents to RFQ #12-25 have four options:

Do nothing; in which case PDC will consider their submission for RFQ #12-25 to be their submission for this RFQ

Update their submission in part, in which case…

o If the Respondent is ONLY replacing “Attachment A” (note the new estimated user counts in the Attachment A of this RFQ), they can email their Attachment A to the Solicitation Coordinator (.pdf preferred) no later than the date and time responses are due for this RFQ

o If the Respondent is replacing more than Attachment A but less than their entire response, they must follow the instructions in Section 5.2 of this RFQ (labeling instruction, numbers of copies, etc.) and include a cover letter that clearly indicates which sections of their original response are thereby amended or replaced

Update their submission in whole, in which case respondents should follow all instructions in this RFQ and PDC will not consider their response to RFQ #12-25 as part of the evaluation process for this RFQ

Withdraw their initial response in whole and decide not to pursue this opportunity with PDC; in which case the respondent must submit a written withdrawal notice (such as through email) and PDC will remove their response from short-list consideration

Basically, no action for respondents to RFQ #12-25 is required unless they would like to update or withdraw their response.
