ND STATE CONTRACT INFORMATION

CONTRACT INTRODUCTION

WebGrants replaced the PeopleSoft grant module as the ND Enterprise Solution. If a different Grants Management Solution is being considered other than WebGrants, please follow the steps below.

IT purchase related to the State’s PeopleSoft/Oracle implementation: OMB must approve all purchases of shadow systems (alternative solutions) to the State’s implementation of PeopleSoft/Oracle. Submit a business case to the PeopleSoft/Oracle program manager.

SCOPE OF WORK

WebGrants is a comprehensive full-lifecycle grant management system for grant giving organizations. At a high-level, all grant management projects are similar; they all have the core grant management lifecycle, which is opportunity creation and announcement, application preparation and submission, application evaluation, grant award, project implementation and reporting, and finally project closeout. WebGrants has evolved over the years with many features and functions at each stage of the process. Not only does WebGrants support the grant management lifecycle at a high-level, but also features numerous specific capabilities within each module.

In additional to all the great functionality “out of the box”, WebGrants is also almost completely user definable. Clients can create their own forms for almost any aspect of the system including announcements, applications, reviews, grants, status reports, claims, site visits, contacts, contracts and more.

See the “WebGrants Overview” attachment for a high-level overview of each WebGrants module.

CONTRACT PRICING ~ITD FEES

STATE OF ND AGENCIES

Each agency will have a one-time charge of $2,500 to ITD. This is at least a 50% reduction from deploying WebGrants by an individual agency. This money will be used to “buy down” the annual support bill from Dulles. There is no additional Dulles cost for an agency to join the State Enterprise instance. The annual support/maintenance cost for the State of ND is currently $13,200.00. This will be divided among the users of WebGrants and charged back to each agency by ITD on the agency’s data processing bill.

Here is an example:

· On April 1st, 2019, ITD pays Dulles $13,200 for a year of support. Currently, this is split between Industrial Commission and Attorney General.

· In June 2019, two additional agencies begin utilizing WebGrants. ITD collects $2,500 from each agency.

· On April 1st, 2020, ITD pays Dulles $13,200 for the next year of support. ITD will apply the $5,000 collected from the two new agencies to this charge and then divide the remaining $8,200 between the four agencies now utilizing the application.

· Any agency that wants to enlist assistance from Dulles to configure a grant program, would be provided with a cost estimate from Dulles after reviewing the program’s forms and getting a brief overview of the program workflow. The rate quoted to the State is $125/hour up to $10,000 per program.

NON-STATE OF ND AGENCIES

· Non-state agencies will work with ITD to determine pricing and if the agency is able to be a part of the State Enterprise instance.

PURCHASING CARDS

STATE may make a payment using a government credit card. CONTRACTOR will accept a government credit card without passing the processing fees for the government credit card back to STATE.
