The City of Wausau is seeking proposals for a CAMA solution for the Assessment Department.

The City of Wausau has initiated a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a comprehensive Computer Assisted Mass Appraisal (CAMA) software solution designed to support assessment functions for multiple municipalities, including Wausau and Schofield. The CAMA system will replace the existing Sungard PS Appraisal Plus system and provide robust capabilities for managing real estate and personal property assessments across various property types, including residential, commercial, manufacturing, agricultural, and exempt properties. The solution must integrate with ESRI-based GIS systems, support Wisconsin-specific property classifications, enable multiple valuation approaches, manage workflow and objection tracking, and provide comprehensive reporting capabilities aligned with Wisconsin Department of Revenue (WI DOR) regulations and Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP).

The RFP was released on March 4, 2020, with proposals due by April 3, 2020, and targets a 12-month implementation timeline. While specific prime contractors are not detailed in the provided documents, the project encompasses software licensing, data migration, interfaces, customization, training, and ongoing maintenance for approximately 18,539 total parcels. The contract will be managed through the City-County Information Technology Commission (CCITC) and requires fixed pricing for data conversion, including real estate, business personal property, mobile home data, and Apex sketch data. The payment structure is milestone-based, with percentages distributed across contract signing, software installation, data conversion, interfaces, customization, training, and final acceptance, reflecting a comprehensive and structured approach to implementing the new CAMA solution.
