About this file

This document is a Sole Source Justification Form for the State of Illinois Department of Innovation and Technology (DoIT) to establish a three-year Joint Purchasing Master Contract (JPMC) with Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) for the purchase of GIS-related products and maintenance services. The contract will provide governmental units and non-profit entities across the state the ability to utilize ESRI's enterprise licensing option, which allows for unlimited licensing usage at reduced costs. This contract will replace the existing agreement set to expire on December 27, 2023. The initial term is from December 28, 2023, to December 27, 2026, with no renewal options.

The State has utilized ESRI's GIS products as a standard for over 17 years, and multiple agencies have critical business applications integrated with the ESRI platform. Converting to another GIS solution would be extremely costly and time-consuming, with an estimated 8-10 million in contractual services and FTE costs. The contract will leverage GSA pricing, which provides a 4% discount over the standard annual pricing. Agencies may purchase any items listed on the attached ESRI MPA Price List, and there is an option for an enterprise licensing agreement to further reduce costs.

TextField3: The State of Illinois has utilized ERSI GIS related proprietary products as an adopted standard for GIS for over 17 years. Multiple agencies have established critical business applications that are tightly integrated into, and dependent on, the ERSI GIS platform. Currently there are no plans to replace ESRI GIS as the State of Illinois has standardized on this product set across the Enterprise for GIS needs. ESRI has offered DOIT special annual pricing if we do a 3 year contract. This special pricing is about 4% lower per year than what we would get compared to single year contract pricing. The additional 4% discount pricing will be good for all 3 years, even though ESRI comes out with a new pricing schedule each year. This still amounts to a 4% savings over if we were to do an annual contract. ESRI is also offering an option of entering into a multi year enterprise licensing agreement which can allow agencies to benefit from unlimited licensing usages that can significantly reduce the cost of increasing licensing usage when necessary to ESRI GIS applications. The 3 year contract is using GSA pricing and a 1 year contract will be using ESRI normal pricing. GSA pricing gives us the 4% additional discount.

Q1Answer: DoIT desires to establish a JPMC Master Contract with Environmental Systems Research (ESRI) for the purchase of their sole source GIS products and maintenance. Multiple State agencies and municipalities have the need for on going maintenance, support and additional licensing for growth beyond the current contract end date of 12/27/23. It is in the best interest to the State of Illinois to enter into a multi year agreement that will allow for the option of Enterprise Licensing that will give the agencies the ability to increase usage of ESRI GIS products at a reduced cost.

ESRI GIS licenses are used by a variety of agencies to capture, manage, analyze, and display all forms of geographically referenced information. Agencies perform resource management, logistics, planning, transport, surveying and demographic studies. IDOT utilizes it for road and highway planning and surveying. DNR utilizes it to survey and analyze lakes, rivers and waterways. Law enforcement use it for geographical location information. Licenses and maintenance are required to ensure the GIS software applications continue working properly and provide the needed information for all end users of these products.

Q2Answer: Statewide Master contract with ERSI for proprietary GIS related products, which include software licenses, maintenance and support. Agencies may purchase any items listed on the attached SRI MPA Price List provided by ESRI.
Q3Answer: The proprietary ESRI GIS related products utilized by numerous state agencies are only available through ESRI. In addition the State of Illinois DoIT has standardized on the ESRI GIS product for enterprise use by all DoIT Managed agencies, boards and commissions throughout the state and there are currently no plans to replace and/or to make significant costly changes (both time and money) to multiple agency critical applications (96+ in total) to integrate with another GIS vendor. There are other GIS vendors in the marketplace, but the cost of converting all current user platforms to a new GIS product would be extremely cost prohibitive. DoIT estimates that it would take years to migrate to a new product and an additional amount estimated at 8 - 10 Million in contractual services and FTE costs to perform the work in addition to the new product license and maintenance costs.
Q4Answer: The GIS related products currently utilized by the state are only available through ESRI direct (no resellers). The ESRI product line has been the State standard for GIS mapping software since 2005. Converting to a different vendors' GIS solution will require a substantial investment of time and money to convert the state's systems. In addition to the cost of conversion there will be a significant increase in existing costs for some years with overlap of paying for two separate GIS infrastructures (existing and new vendor) until all applications are converted. At this point the State has no immediate plans for converting the 96+ existing applications away from the ESRI GIS products.

altNo:
Q5aAnswer: At this time DoIT and customer agencies are not prepared to incur the cost of replacing the existing ESRI GIS standard. However DoIT continues with the Application Rationalization initiative which is mapping the importance of applications to the business as well as the future disposition (replacement, enhancements, replacement and retirement). This initiative should give better clarity in terms of defining the road map for these types of applications that could allow alignment with more competitive procurements in the future.

Q7Answer: The state has utilized this software for 17 years and seen very modest increases. In addition ESRI is extending GSA pricing if awarded a 3 year contract. Prices are in line with past contracts. This amounts to a 4% savings per year beyond the single year pricing table annual costs. With the 3 year agreement, the better discount pricing is locked in for all 3 years. The additional 4% discount pricing will be good for all 3 years, even though ESRI comes out with a new pricing schedule each year. This still amounts to a 4% savings over if we were to do an annual contract. There is also opportunity for entities to leverage the enterprise agreement option which can save significant dollars and provide the ability for unlimited licensing. Since the ESRI products we need are sole source we are unable to attain these specific products via resellers. Only core products will be in BidBuy, DoIT will provide the price list for the initial year as an attachment in BidBuy.

Q9Answer: The impact of switching to another vendors' GIS product would be monumental, both in terms of time and money. In addition to possible new investments in another vendor product, there would be significant impact to re-writing applications and interfaces that currently exist from State Agencies critical business systems. In a survey from a couple years ago of 5 agencies (DOT, DNR, EPA, DPH and ISP), that have 96+ applications dependent on ESRI GIS; 59 of those applications have been estimated to cost approximately $8,300,000 for conversion (these costs do not include the costs of the possible replacement GIS platform which would be both software and hardware components); 37 of those agencies applications have stated that it is not possible to either calculate the cost to convert or that converting may not be feasible based on integration into federal systems built on the ESRI GIS platform. These lists are not all inclusive of all the GIS usage agencies but it gives a fairly good example as to how large the impact of switching off of the ESRI products could be to the State of Illinois.
