About this file

This document is a Technology Deployment attachment for a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by the City of Durango, Colorado, seeking a Utility Billing System (UBS) software and implementation services. The City aims to acquire a comprehensive billing solution for water, wastewater, solid waste, and other municipal billing needs, with a preference for cloud or Software as a Service (SaaS) delivery. The RFP solicits detailed technical information from potential vendors, including deployment methods, data center specifications, hardware requirements, system availability, update processes, security features, and service level guarantees.

The attachment requires vendors to provide extensive technical details across multiple domains, including deployment type (on-premise or hosted), data center locations, server and network requirements, system availability metrics, update frequency, security protocols, and data export capabilities. Vendors must specify their integration protocols, cybersecurity standards, and propose service level guarantees covering system availability, response times, issue resolution, recovery objectives, and breach notification processes. The City is seeking a flexible, secure, and reliable utility billing system with comprehensive implementation and training services, potentially allowing multi-vendor proposals with clearly defined vendor roles and responsibilities.
