Public_Notice_of_RFP_Supplemental_Evaluation_Team_MeetingCANCELED.pdf

This is a public notice of cancellation issued by Kissimmee Utility Authority (KUA), a Florida utility provider, regarding a supplemental evaluation team meeting for RFP 26-028-SH for Utility Network Migration and Implementation Services. The supplemental evaluation team meeting, originally scheduled for Thursday, October 1, 2026 at 10:00 AM, has been canceled. The underlying RFP solicitation involved comprehensive utility network migration and implementation services, including assessment of KUA's existing network and system architecture, development of detailed migration and implementation plans with timelines and risk mitigation strategies, data conversion and validation from legacy systems to a modernized utility network platform, system configuration and integration, testing and quality assurance, staff training and documentation, and post-implementation support. Five firms submitted proposals by the June 12, 2026 deadline, with three firms—Burns & McDonnell Engineering Company Inc., SSP Innovations LLC, and Utility Data Contractors Inc.—advancing to oral interviews conducted on August 13, 2026. A final evaluation team meeting was originally scheduled for August 14, 2026.

The contract is classified as Service Tier C (procurements exceeding $500,000) with an anticipated three-year term and two optional one-year renewal periods at KUA's sole discretion. A 100% performance bond was initially required but was revised through Addendum No. 3 to negotiate milestone-based payments instead. Payment terms are net thirty days. Post-implementation HyperCare and operational stabilization support is anticipated for approximately two to six weeks. KUA will provide underlying hardware and platform infrastructure, while the selected contractor is responsible for establishing, configuring, and optimizing ArcGIS Enterprise environments. The contractor must serve as a single prime responsible for delivering the complete scope, though subcontractors may support specific components. For questions regarding this cancellation, interested parties should contact Sheila Hernandez, Senior Buyer (CPPB, FCCM), at (407) 933-9809 or procurement@kua.com.
