About this file

This is an attachment to a Request for Proposals issued by the City of Fort Myers, Florida for professional implementation services related to a new Utility Billing System (UBS). The document outlines project expectations and requirements that vendors must address in their proposals. The implementation project encompasses the deployment of a utility billing system to support the City's water, wastewater, and solid waste utility operations. Key deliverables expected include a comprehensive project management plan with defined tasks, schedules, resources, dependencies, milestones, and status reporting; organizational change management services incorporating stakeholder assessment, communications planning, and documentation of new business processes; knowledge transfer and customized training plans; system design requirements traceability documentation; data conversion and acceptance procedures; comprehensive testing plans covering unit, integration, user acceptance, performance, and regression testing; and cutover and post-go-live support planning with final acceptance documentation. The vendor must clarify the split between on-site and off-site work, project manager allocation, monthly hours and site visits, and status reporting frequency.

The RFP specifies pricing and contractual expectations that bidders must confirm their ability to meet. Software licensing must be based on enterprise licenses or subscriptions rather than user-based models, with fixed pricing for a minimum of five-year terms and any increases tied to an index. Professional services pricing must be structured as fixed fees tied to milestones and acceptance of deliverables outlined in the Scope of Work, rather than constrained by configuration quantities or client characteristics. Contract terms require vendors to agree to a limitation of liability capped at 2.5 times the contract fee, warrant requirements for 12 months, maintain key personnel without removal without client approval, include service level agreement remedies, and provide both conditional and final acceptance procedures. These requirements apply both to the primary vendor agreement and must flow down to any third-party products or services proposed.
