RFO 24C013001 revision and upgrade of start smart mobile application

The California Highway Patrol (CHP), spanning jurisdictions in Sacramento County and San Francisco City, is seeking a contractor to revise and upgrade the Start Smart mobile application for both iPhone and Android platforms. The Request for Offer (RFO #24C013001) requires a vendor with a valid California Multiple Award Schedule (CMAS) contract and 3-5 years of mobile app development experience to provide comprehensive system analysis, project management, and maintenance updates. Key deliverables include ensuring compliance with Apple Store and Google Play Store requirements, assisting with app registration, and providing transition services. The evaluation will be a best-value assessment with a maximum of 1,000 points for technical merit (minimum 700 points required) and 300 points for cost. Critical deadlines include questions due by October 21, 2024, question responses by October 25, 2024, and proposal submissions due December 2, 2024, at 11:00 a.m. PST. The contract is expected to commence upon execution and run approximately four months through April 30, 2025.

The procurement requires all personnel to undergo security clearance, including driver's license and fingerprint checks. The incumbent contractor for this project is Expanded Apps, Inc., and CHP will provide the hosting infrastructure, source code, and comprehensive documentation via a Google Drive link. No additional asset design is required, as CHP will supply all necessary graphics and mockups. The maximum budget for this agreement is $15,000, with payment structured as a one-time final payment upon CHP's receipt and acceptance of all deliverables. The solicitation is being reissued as part of a regular annual contract renewal process and does not indicate any performance issues with the previous contractor. The contract term is set for one year, with no new features required beyond those specified in Exhibit A, Scope of Work. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned, the requirement for a CMAS contract suggests compliance with state procurement guidelines.
