Date of Issuance - 4/16/24

Responses to Requests for Information:
- Who is the current vendor and what is the contract pricing? - IntermixIT is the current vendor supporting Susquehanna Township and its operations. The contract pricing is $12,543.50 per month.
- What is the current budget for this project? - There is no firm budget for this project. Our total budget for all hardware and software across our vendors for 2024 is $292,625.00
- Can "off-shore" support be provided to leverage lower project costs? - While the decision would depend on the totality of the response provided by the vendor, it is unlikely that support can be provided "off-shore". Susquehanna Township is a mid-sized municipality but a small organization overall. Therefore, onsite support is critical, and it will be difficult to provide the level of service we expect without the ability to be physically present as needed.
- Could you clarify what is meant by "Discuss your firm's presence in and commitment to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania" as part of the RFP? - This is to determine what, if any, other Pennsylvania clients your firm represents or conducts business with.
- Is there a specific pricing range you prefer for this project? Understanding this will help us provide tailored recommendations for various aspects of the project. - No, there is no specific range preference for the project.
- Is the pricing model for this project expected to be time-and-materials or fixed-price? - The pricing model expected is provided in the RFP.
- Do you have a preference for contractor location (onshore, offshore), and if offshore contractors are allowed, are there any specific conditions? We can accommodate both but would like to confirm your requirements. - While there are no restrictions, it will be difficult for support to be provided entirely "off-shore". Priority will be given to respondents who are able to have a physical presence as needed.
- Could you provide the total population size of the county? - Susquehanna Township is not a county. Our population is 26,736 as of the 2020 Census.
- Could you specify the exact software services you require and their expected duration? - Respondents should refer to the contents of the RFP for all specifics.
- What is the project's execution timeline, or are you seeking an ongoing engagement? - This is anticipated to be an ongoing engagement.
- How many A140Getac tablets are in the total environment? Were these included in your 70 workstation estimate? - There are fifteen Getac workstations and they were not included in the estimate of 70 in the RFP.
