RFI 6490 - Amendment 1.pdf

This document is Amendment #1 to a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the San Bernardino County Purchasing Department for a new enterprise budgeting system. The RFI, designated CAO127-CAO4-6490, seeks commercially available enterprise budgeting system software and implementation services capable of supporting annual budget development and financial planning across 50+ departments, 300+ users, and 25,000+ budgeted positions. The amendment modifies the proposal timeline with the following key dates: the RFI was released August 21, 2026; the deadline for submission of questions is September 4, 2026 at 5:00 PM PST; proposals are due October 2, 2026 at 2:00 PM PST; and demonstrations are tentatively scheduled for the week of October 13, 2026. This is a market-research RFI that does not commit the County to issuing a subsequent RFP or establishing a contract.

Vendor responses must address system architecture, scalability, user interface accessibility, budget formulation and planning processes, multi-year forecasting and what-if analysis, personnel cost budgeting, workflow and collaboration features, reporting and analytics, capital budgeting, data management and interoperability, artificial intelligence functionality, performance measures, administration and configuration, and security and business continuity. The requested system must integrate with SAP S/4HANA and Oracle Fusion Human Capital Management. Vendors must detail implementation methodologies, training and support services, and provide approximate budgetary information including one-time implementation costs and annual ongoing costs with clarification of pricing models based on metrics such as named users, concurrent users, modules, or organizational size. All submissions must be made through the County's Electronic Procurement Network (ePro) after vendor registration, and all information submitted becomes County property subject to the California Public Records Act.
