Estimated Dollar Amount:

$120,000.00/yr. (24 months at $10,000.00/mo.) for a total of $240,000.00

Justification for single source acquisition (what is necessary and unique about the product, service or source; steps taken to confirm unavailability of competition, as appropriate):

MotionPoint hosts a unique and separate turn-key Spanish version of myfloridacfo.com at espanol.myfloridacfo.com, by combining efforts of machine and human translations to ensure localized Spanish is delivered to end users. The MotionPoint solution includes the website’s hosting, graphic design for translated images, rules for translations, and advanced scanning technologies. In addition, MotionPoint’s proprietary technologies automatically monitors the Department’s website on a consistent basis, identifying any changes made to the English site, and promptly queuing the new content for translation, resulting in the English website and Spanish website being "in sync" with one another. While there are other vendors who could provide translation service using "traditional" website translation approaches by adding Spanish to the website, such services may require the purchase and integration of a multi-lingual content management system and may also force changes to the Department’s web server. Utilization of MotionPoint's solution will not require any IT development, or technical integration, other than inserting a single link on the website's home page, while other vendors’ services would require the need for additional Department personnel. MotionPoint will provide a fully deployed, fully translated website, using 100% human oversight of necessary translations from start to finish.

MotionPoint services require minimal approvals from the Department, and only non-standard services will require the Department’s advance approval.

Approved By (names & titles, as appropriate, e.g., requestor, requestor management, information systems, budget, purchasing):
