Appendix_B_Solicitation_-_Reference_Checks.xlsx

The file is a Reference Check Form for a solicitation by the City of Seattle's Department of Transportation (SDOT) for Accela Development and Quality Assurance Testing services (Solicitation No. 25-001QP). The project seeks two dedicated staff resources with expert knowledge of Accela, a cloud-based government software platform used for permit management and workflow processes across multiple city departments. The consultants must demonstrate proficiency in Accela-specific technologies including record type configuration, Event Manager and Script Engine (EMSE) scripting, Accela Citizen Access (ACA), Accela Mobile, SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) reports, and Construct API. SDOT specifically utilizes three Accela modules, including two custom modules for Street Use and Traffic divisions.

The reference check form provides a template for documenting past project details, including client contact information, project dates, contract values, and consultant roles. The form allows for tracking WMBE/DBE/SBE (Women/Minority/Disadvantaged/Small Business Enterprise) participation, with columns for contract commitment percentages and actual achievement. While specific pricing details are not provided in this document, the reference form suggests a comprehensive evaluation process that considers consultants' previous project experiences, technical capabilities, and potential diversity contributions. The solicitation appears to be part of a competitive selection process aimed at securing specialized Accela development and testing resources for improving government operational efficiency.
