GIS Procurement and RFP Development

General

Edited by Allen Ibaugh, AICP, GISP

This publication provides detailed steps to help local governments and other organizations procure GIS-related products and services. It discusses the development of effective RFPs that facilitate the development of a solid platform for GIS technology purchase and implementation. It also discusses procedures for carrying out an effective specification-driven procurement when a formal RFP process is not required. This quick study covers: how procurement fits into the larger framework of GIS project planning and implementation; personnel requirements for RFP development; RFP preparation; specifying a scope of work; developing a selection process and evaluation criteria; specifying useful proposal formats and submittal guidelines; the proposal evaluation process; and the importance of a comprehensive RFP.
