Request for Proposals (RFP) for Project Management Services

The County’s objective in issuing this Request for Proposals (RFP) is to establish agreements with one or more qualified contractors to provide project management, project implementation, and related consulting services on an as-needed basis. Services may support a range of County initiatives, including the planning, design, procurement, implementation, integration, and rollout of software-as-a-service (SaaS) and other technology systems, as well as non-technology operational, organizational, and business-process improvement projects. Selected contractor(s) may be engaged to provide experienced project managers and related subject-matter support to lead or augment County project teams, develop and maintain project plans and governance structures, coordinate stakeholders and vendors, manage risks, issues, schedules, budgets, communications, change management, and implementation activities, and otherwise support successful project delivery. The County does not guarantee a minimum volume of work; specific assignments within the scope of this RFP, duration, and staffing needs will be established through individual contracts. The County’s standard contract template is included as an appendix to this solicitation. Awarded contractor(s) will be expected to enter into an agreement prepared by the County using this template. Proposers should ensure that their firms have completed legal review of the contract terms before submitting a proposal. If a proposer wishes to request exceptions to the County’s standard terms, it must submit a Contract Exceptions Request by the Deadline for Questions, Comments, and Contract Exceptions identified in the Solicitation Schedule. The County will consider requested exceptions but reserves the right to reject proposed modifications to its standard contract terms.
