Grant C will keep this Council updated via the listserve. To allow time for further discussion on the Statewide Administrative System, this item was tabled for inclusion on the agenda for the next meeting. C. State-Wide Administrative System RFP Mick P gave some history and an update on the status of this project. The project will include State government, Higher Education, and K-12. It appears that bonding will be the method of funding and it will go into OMB s budget.
Intent is for it to be strategic vs detailed level.
Focus is on the broad functionality, what does the system really do and how does it fit our needs instead of focus on minor features. Some questions need to be answered yet. Regarding the evaluation process, since the RFP is not in detail form, functional teams may be brought in to evaluate the portion that impacts their particular area. The vendor s responses are due back November 1 st but that may change to the 15 th or later, and the evaluation teams need to determine how they intend to evaluate the responses. We need to be able to show accountability in evaluating the vendors' responses.
