GIS Utility Network Migration Project and Support Services

The Orlando Utilities Commission (OUC) is seeking a System Integrator for a comprehensive GIS Utility Network Migration Project and Support Services through a Request for Proposal (RFP) numbered PR8409. The project aims to transform OUC's legacy Esri Geographic Information System from a geometric network-based platform to Esri's modern ArcGIS Utility Network solution, addressing technology obsolescence and establishing standardized utility-focused data models. The procurement will cover migration services for water (starting in 2025), electric, and fiber networks, with the contract term initially set for three years and a potential two-year renewal. Bidder qualifications include being an Esri Gold Partner with at least ten years of GIS services experience, having completed at least two Utility Network implementations (preferably with electric and water experience), and being licensed to do business in Florida. Key deliverables include a first draft Scope of Work, project implementation plan, milestones, and a comprehensive project schedule. The proposal is due on August 28, 2025, by 2:00 PM EST, with the project set to begin in October 2023. The objective is to optimize core GIS-based engineering, operations, inspections, maintenance, production, and construction processes while modernizing OUC's geospatial infrastructure.

While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned in the provided documents, the procurement does include a detailed IT Security Questionnaire that comprehensively vets potential service providers across seven cybersecurity domains. The price schedule indicates a flexible pricing structure with hourly rates for various professional roles, including Senior Project Managers, Database Administrators, Developers, Consultants, GIS Analysts, and Technicians. Rates are categorized by job title and staffing type (on staff or subcontract), with differentiation between normal and after-hours/overtime rates. No specific budget range or total contract value is explicitly stated in the documents, though the pricing schedule suggests a comprehensive and potentially significant investment in the GIS network migration. The project will require integration with existing Esri geographic information systems, with a focus on creating a modern, standardized utility-focused data model. No incumbent vendors are directly identified in the provided documentation, and no bid bond or payment and performance bond is required for this procurement.
