Attachment_A_Questionnaire.xlsx

This is an Attachment A Questionnaire for the State of California's Request for Information (RFI-25-IC0054) regarding an Online Payment and Applications for Licensing (OPAL) System. The questionnaire is designed to survey the marketplace and understand available products, services, and associated costs for this licensing application initiative. Respondents must complete company information and answer eight substantive questions within a 10-page limit (using 10 or 12-point font), with responses entered into the provided workbook tabs. The questions address the proposer's approach to the OPAL System, compliance with mid-level requirements, solution-specific elements, public sector experience, system architecture details, data conversion plans, any constraints to competition, and a high-level execution schedule.

The questionnaire requires proposers to assume a minimum one-year Maintenance and Operations period following formal system acceptance, with an optional one-year contract extension available. Responses must be specific to each question without general marketing information, and any pages exceeding the 10-page limit will be discarded. The questionnaire does not address specific pricing terms, set-asides, incumbent information, or funding sources in this document, as it functions primarily as a marketplace survey tool to gather technical and operational capability information from potential vendors prior to a potential formal Request for Proposal (RFP) issuance.
