RFP 26-009-56

Managed Services Support

(Memphis & Shelby County Division of Planning and Development)

TO ALL PROSPECTIVE BIDDERS:

The following questions were submitted by a potential bidder. Our answers

are listed below in red:

1. Can the County confirm the current Accela Civic Platform deployment model

and version (e.g., Accela SaaS vs. on-premises)? Accela SaaS

2. Please confirm whether Accela licensing and hosting are already procured and

maintained by the County. Licensing has been procured. The Accela Civic

Platform was deployed in 2020.

3. Are there any existing integrations or plug-ins (GIS, payment, document

management, data warehouse) that require ongoing support? Yes.

4. Does the County expect the Managed Services Provider to include end-user

support or limit services to system administrator and departmental power-

user support? End-user support is not requested. Support is limited to back-

office support for administrators.

5. Is there an existing ticketing system in place, or should the vendor provide its

own? The vendor should provide a mechanism for receiving and managing

requests for service/tickets.

6. Does the County anticipate any onsite presence requirements, or is a remote

delivery model acceptable? Remote delivery is acceptable.

7. For pricing, does the County prefer a fixed monthly managed-services

fee or hourly rate-based billing? The proposer should present the pricing and

service model that best delivers the scope as written.

8. For optional renewal years, should vendors assume a fixed rate or may include

a reasonable annual escalation percentage? The proposer should present the

pricing and service model that best delivers the scope as written.

9. Can the County confirm whether there is a current or incumbent

provider supporting Accela and if a transition period will be defined?

There is no incumbent managed services provider.

10. Are there any upcoming Accela version upgrades or workflow enhancement

projects planned during the contract term? Yes.

Sincerely,

Signed Original on File
