Odyssey Addendum #1 part 2.pdf

This is an addendum to a contract solicitation issued by the State of Georgia, Department of Education, related to the Odyssey student information system. The addendum provides clarifications and modifications to the original solicitation requirements. The document addresses technical specifications, implementation timelines, and system requirements for the Odyssey platform, which serves as a comprehensive student information management system for Georgia schools. Key modifications include updates to data migration procedures, system performance benchmarks, and integration requirements with existing Georgia Department of Education systems. The addendum specifies that bidders must demonstrate compliance with revised technical standards and provide detailed implementation plans addressing the migration of existing student data, staff information, and historical records. Response requirements remain subject to the original solicitation timeline, with all submissions requiring adherence to both the base solicitation terms and the modifications outlined in this addendum.

The addendum clarifies pricing considerations related to implementation services, data conversion, training, and ongoing system support. It emphasizes that all bidders, whether incumbents or new vendors, must meet the enhanced technical requirements and security standards specified in the revision. The document addresses funding through the Georgia Department of Education's standard appropriations and outlines performance metrics that vendors must meet during the implementation phase, including system uptime requirements, data accuracy verification, and user acceptance testing protocols. The addendum reinforces that all costs associated with compliance with the revised specifications must be incorporated into the bidder's pricing proposal, with no additional compensation available for meeting the clarified requirements.
