About this file
This addendum to RFP #6120-01-26 provides clarifications from Lee County Government, Parks & Recreation in North Carolina regarding the procurement of Recreation Management Software. The county seeks a comprehensive system to replace its current RecDesk platform and support daily operations including program and class reservations, facility reservations, field reservations, memberships, league scheduling, point of sale transactions, picnic reservations, and payment processing. The system must support 12,500 active household and participant accounts with 100+ annual program registrations, operate across 12 facilities with 45 bookable locations, and accommodate 12 full-time and 15 part-time staff users. Critical implementation requirements include a mandatory go-live date of July 1, 2026, with no flexibility or consideration for phased rollouts. The county has specified that proposals must be submitted as two sealed paper copies and requires mobile application functionality included in base pricing, integration with the county's Revize website platform via embedded widgets, and integration with Tyler Munis version 2024.7.5 financial software via scheduled batch file reporting for general ledger postings.
Current system performance limitations include the lack of a mobile application and deposit management capabilities, which the county prioritizes alongside achieving ADA compliance and generating simplified financial reports. The county processes approximately $700,000 in annual revenue through the system, comprised of $29,500 in cash transactions, $121,000 in checks, and $569,000 in credit card payments, with customers responsible for all payment processing fees. Parks & Recreation currently uses Clover as its payment processor but requests vendors present integrated payment gateway options. The county requires data migration of 12,500 existing accounts, 100+ programs, and three years of historical transaction data from RecDesk, including data cleansing and normalization. Standard contract term length is preferred, with evaluation prioritizing software functionality, flexibility, company quality and experience, and best value pricing methodology. Interviews and demonstrations will be formally scored as part of the evaluation process. No specific blackout periods or peak seasons exist outside the critical summer camp registration and account transfer workflows that must function immediately post-implementation.
