The items listed below are issued to add, modify, and/or clarify the solicitation document and agreement documents.

I. QUESTIONS

Q1. Is intention of this RFP to only select the preferred vendor for the GIS Design Tool, and services necessary for implementation would be contracted under the second Phase (under 1.1 in the Scope of Services, section 3) “Utility Network Migration and Design Software Implementation and Integration (Phase II)”? Thus, implementation pricing and a project SOW is not necessary for this response. Correct?

A1. Correct. The intent of this RFP (Phase I) is to select and procure a design software solution. While high-level implementation considerations may inform evaluation (e.g., ease of deployment, integration potential), detailed implementation pricing and a full implementation scope of work are not required at this time.

Q2. Will the subsequent RFP for the second phase have the same vendor requirements as this RFP? Or will KUA consider bids for the second phase from consulting firms with experience and training in implementations of the Vendors solution?

A2. KUA anticipates that the Phase II RFP will be open to qualified firms with proven experience implementing the selected design solution. In addition to design software implementation as part of Phase II, these firms would either complete a Utility Network conversion scope of work or partner with another qualified firm who will perform the Utility Network conversion scope of work. While vendors responding to this RFP are not guaranteed selection for Phase II, those with relevant implementation experience— including partners of the software vendor—may be eligible to respond.

Autodesk Utility Design (AUD), represented by SBS 2. ArcFM Designer XI, represented by Schneider Electric Our question is; since GeoDigital`s StakeOut is not built on either platform listed above, does this mean GeoDigital is not approved to respond to this RFP?

A3. KUA has identified Autodesk Utility Design (AUD) and ArcFM Designer XI as the approved platforms for this procurement. Only proposals based on these two platforms will be considered responsive to this RFP.
