About this file

This is a SaaS Description Attachment to a Request for Proposals for a Cashiering Solution issued by Kenosha County, Wisconsin. The attachment establishes detailed requirements and evaluation criteria for proposers who intend to deploy a Software-as-a-Service solution. The document requires proposers to provide comprehensive information across multiple operational categories, including data center location and third-party provider usage, proposed number of environments, and six months of historical availability data with downtime metrics and percentage availability calculations. Additionally, proposers must specify update frequency, advance notice periods for updates, pre-production testing opportunities, and testing duration periods. The attachment mandates detailed responses regarding system authentication capabilities, including Single Sign-On (SSO), Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) support, and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) requirements.

The attachment further requires proposers to address information security protections against data breaches, including cybersecurity standards compliance, independent audit documentation, breach notification processes, remediation procedures, and indemnification provisions. Proposers must confirm whether customer data can be exported in nonproprietary formats for disentanglement purposes. The document establishes a comprehensive service level guarantee framework requiring proposers to specify metrics, targets, and remedies for system availability (unscheduled downtime), system response performance, issue response and resolution times, Recovery Point Objective (RPO), Recovery Time Objective (RTO), system data restoration capabilities, security patch implementation timelines, and security breach notification procedures. The attachment also requests identification of additional proposed service levels and specifies that performance reporting mechanisms and issue escalation processes must be clearly defined for County evaluation and ongoing management.
