This is a Public Notice of a Second Evaluation Team Meeting issued by the Kissimmee Utility Authority (KUA) in Florida regarding RFP 25-064-RM for GIS Distribution Design Software Services. The evaluation team will convene on Monday, November 3, 2025, at 11:00 AM local time via Zoom to complete the evaluation process for the RFP. The original RFP was issued on July 30, 2025, with questions due by August 19, 2025, and proposals due by August 26, 2025, at 2:00 PM EST. KUA is procuring a modern electric distribution design software solution to support the organization's transition to Esri's Utility Network model, with the anticipated contract term of three years plus two optional one-year renewal periods. The procurement targets two approved software platforms: Autodesk Utility Design (AUD) and ArcFM Designer XI, intended to replace KUA's existing ArcFM Designer platform.

The selected software must comprehensively integrate with KUA's existing enterprise systems, including ArcGIS Enterprise, ServiceLink Work Management System, and Cogsdale Financial Management System. Evaluation will utilize a best-value approach with scoring weighted across functional capabilities, integration flexibility, vendor qualifications, implementation strategy, cost, and value-added features. Vendors are required to provide comprehensive cost breakdowns including licensing, modules, extensions, and potential recurring fees. KUA currently operates under an Esri Small Municipal and County Government Enterprise Agreement and serves over 99,000 customers across an 86-square-mile service area. The procurement is divided into two phases, with this RFP focusing on software procurement (Phase I), and final purchase is subject to Board of Directors approval.
