1-Request for Information Questionnaire TCH2133040F1.docx

This is a Request for Information (RFI) Questionnaire issued by a Florida county to determine vendor availability and product equivalency for Autodesk AutoCAD software. The RFI is designed to assess whether the specified software is available from multiple providers or if alternate products can meet the county's needs. The questionnaire requires vendors to respond through the BPRO Requested Information section and provide relevant specifications and supporting documentation. Vendors must identify their role as either a manufacturer/developer, authorized reseller, or other entity, and provide their proposed product or service information. No specific response deadline, award date, contract term, or renewal options are identified in the questionnaire itself, as this is a preliminary information-gathering document rather than a formal solicitation with binding dates.

The RFI evaluates five key functional categories: drafting capabilities (2D drafting, text/dimensions, layer management, and precise real-scale documentation); modeling features (3D solids, surface meshes, realistic rendering, and accurate lighting visualization); automation functionality (AutoLISP, smart blocks, and script streamlining); AI features (Autodesk Assistant, markup assist, and PDF correction automation); and collaboration tools (trace layer, cloud storage, web/mobile access, and cross-platform co-authoring). Vendors must indicate whether their proposed product fully satisfies each requirement with "Yes," "Partially," or "No" responses and provide explanatory details. The questionnaire also requires vendors to identify any requirements not fully satisfied and describe material differences from the specified product, though no pricing information, set-asides, incumbent contractor status, or funding sources are addressed in this document.
