BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Town of Paonia is a full-service municipality with extensive information technology (IT) and internet-of-things (IoT) needs. We currently employ 23 staff members equipped with mobile telephones, laptops, and desktop computers, all of which require secure connectivity and ongoing support.
Our technology footprint spans multiple facilities and operational areas. Wireless surveillance cameras are installed across municipal buildings, and the Town provides public Wi-Fi access in its largest park through a network of repeating towers that require regular maintenance. Satellite facilities, including Public Works, operate with internet-connected bulk water filling stations, computers, tablets, and surveillance systems. The water treatment plant relies on supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, operation software, desktops, servers, and surveillance cameras, all of which depend on reliable internet connectivity. The wastewater treatment plant maintains parallel requirements with SCADA systems, surveillance, and computing resources.
Public safety and compliance are also critical components of our IT environment. The Police Department operates under the Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Security Policy and requires compliance with the CJIS Support Vendor Program, including the ability to mailto:Paonia@TownofPaonia.com mailto:StefenW@TownofPaonia.com https://www.bidnetdirect.com/ obtain CJIS clearance. The Town coordinates with the County Clerk’s Office regarding surveillance systems used for election integrity, and with the County Sheriff’s Office for Motorola Solutions mobile products supporting computer-aided dispatch and report writing.
Town Hall operations include enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, desktops, laptops, servers, and surveillance cameras. Staff technology assets, including Apple iPhones, are centrally managed through Apple Business Manager. Multiple Town boards, commissions, and committees operate under the Town’s Acceptable Use Policy, with official business email accounts provided for appointed and elected members. While devices are not issued to elected officials or appointed board members, business email accounts ensure secure and consistent communication in accordance with municipal policy.
The Town will begin a server upgrade after this contract is activated for Town Hall and all satellite facilities.
Given these demands, the Town seeks vendor support through this RFQ process to ensure ongoing security, compliance, and reliability across its diverse IT and IoT systems.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
The Town of Paonia is seeking a qualified Managed Service Provider (MSP) to deliver comprehensive IT services that ensure the seamless operation, security, and scalability of the Town’s technology infrastructure. As a full-service local government, the Town depends on digital systems for service delivery, internal operations, and stakeholder communication. With increasing reliance on cloud-based platforms, interconnected systems, and advanced technology, the Town requires a cost-effective and reliable IT solution that prioritizes performance, security, and accessibility.
The selected provider will be responsible for supporting a broad range of IT resources, including mobile devices, laptops, desktops, servers, surveillance systems, SCADA platforms, ERP systems, wireless networks, and satellite site connectivity. In addition, the Town’s current IT environment includes leased desk telephones operating through an internet-connected switchboard. As such, the scope of services must include full desk phone support and product recommendations to ensure that voice communications remain integrated with other IT operations.
Data security remains a top priority, as the Town manages sensitive financial and operational data across multiple departments. The MSP must implement proactive security measures, including multi-factor authentication, data monitoring, threat detection, and compliance with privacy and security regulations. The Police Department requires IT support that is compliant with the Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Security Policy, with a minimum of Level 4 CJIS support. The provider must also be able to obtain CJIS clearance for relevant personnel.
To safeguard operations, the provider will develop and maintain a disaster recovery and business continuity plan, ensuring data protection and rapid restoration of services in the event of an outage. Services should include routine maintenance, system updates, and proactive monitoring to minimize downtime and maintain reliable access to Town services.
The Town of Paonia requires IT support for a base of 20+ staff members, offering both remote and occasional onsite support across all municipal facilities. These include Administration, Public Works (with an internet-connected bulk water filling station and surveillance systems), the Water and Wastewater Treatment Plants (both utilizing SCADA systems), and the Police Department. Services must also extend to the management of Apple devices through Apple Business Manager, email account administration for appointed and elected officials, and compliance with the Town’s Acceptable Use Policies.
The intent of this RFQ is to evaluate the qualifications and experience of interested consultants and select the provider best positioned to meet the Town’s comprehensive IT service needs. Respondents must demonstrate that they have sufficient resources, trained personnel, specialized consultants, and financial capacity to perform all services without delay or shortcomings. The final scope of services will be formalized in a mutually agreed Services Agreement.
The Town anticipates awarding a contract to a single consultant; however, the award is subject to approval by the Paonia Board of Trustees. The Town reserves the right to make no award at its discretion.
