About this opportunity
The City of Ocala, Florida, through its Ocala Electric Utilities (OEU) department, is issuing Request for Information (RFI) No. ELE/260450 to solicit market information from vendors experienced in Geometric Network (GN) to Utility Network (UN) data migration services. This RFI is designed to support budget development and future procurement planning for a potential transition from Esri's legacy Geometric Network data model to the modern Utility Network model and ArcGIS platform. The City explicitly states that this RFI does not constitute a formal solicitation or guarantee of future procurement; however, the City intends to post and award a formal Request for Proposal for these services in 2027. Vendors must submit responses electronically in PDF format to bids@ocalafl.gov no later than 2:00 p.m. EST on February 20, 2026, with the deadline for submitting questions regarding the solicitation set for 5:00 p.m. EST on February 17, 2026. Respondents must provide company information including name, address, website, telephone, email, and taxpayer ID number, along with a brief company history, and must submit low, medium, and high price ranges for budget planning purposes. Additionally, vendors must address 16 specific questions regarding their experience with GN-to-UN migrations, cost drivers, data characteristics, complexity factors, project phases, staffing requirements, risk management, and capabilities related to hosted versus on-premises ArcGIS Enterprise solutions. The designated buyer contact is Caley Conard at cconard@ocalafl.gov or (352) 629-8399.
The RFI contains no stated set-aside designations or restrictions limiting participation based on vendor type or disadvantaged enterprise status, indicating that all qualified vendors may respond. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the procurement documents. The procurement requires integration with existing Esri ArcGIS infrastructure, specifically transitioning from the legacy Geometric Network model to the modern Utility Network platform. The City will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in responding to this RFI, with all costs being the sole responsibility of interested vendors. No specific award value or budget range is listed in the RFI; however, vendors are requested to provide low, medium, and high price ranges to assist the City with budget planning for the anticipated 2027 formal procurement. Non-response to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future solicitations, and all submissions are handled as exempt from public disclosure until notice of an intended decision or 30 days after opening, whichever occurs first, unless bidders designate proprietary or trade secret information with appropriate redaction procedures.
