five-year period.
3. The City reserves the right to negotiate with any vendor as meets the needs of
the City. The City reserves the right to reject any or all proposals, and to waive

Performance Expectations
If the Vendor has had a contract terminated for default during the past five (5) years, all
such incidents must be described. "Termination for default" is defined as notice to stop
performance due to the Vendor's non-performance or poor performance, and the issue
RFP 7310 Managed Services for JDE Page 4 of 22
was either (a) not litigated; or (b) litigated and such litigation determined the Vendor to
be in default.
Submit full details of all terminations for default experienced by the Vendor during the
past five (5) years, including the other party's name, address and telephone number.
Present the Vendor's position on the matter. The City will evaluate the facts and may, at
its sole discretion, reject the Vendor's proposal if the facts discovered indicate that
completion of a contract resulting from this RFP may be jeopardized by selection of the
Vendor.
If the Vendor has experienced no such termination for default in the past five (5) years,
so declare.
If the Vendor has had a contract terminated for convenience, non-performance, non -
allocation of funds or any other reason, which termination occurred before completion of
the contract, during the past five (5) years, describe fully all such terminations, including
the name, address and telephone number of the other contracting party.
Cost Requirements
The City will pay for services, as completed, based on an hourly rate. The City is not
seeking proposals for a specified body of work at a fixed price. All prices are to be in US
dollars.
The quoted rate(s) is expected to be applied for the duration of the contract (as
described herein). The rates should include, but are not limited to: CNC Administration,
Application Consulting and Development services.
Scope of Services
The City of Fort Collins is seeking professional support services for the maintenance
and enhancement of the City's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne application. The application
has been used by the organization for over 10 years and initially implemented modules
over a period of years. The City of Fort Collins is on Oracle Premier Support for JD
Edwards EnterpriseOne and will continue to be.
At this time, the City plans to implement no new functional modules of JD Edwards
EnterpriseOne, but rather will need to maintain and enhance certain functionality. The
City may consider implementing LDAP authentication for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne
with Active Directory.
The City is looking for a single vendor and more specifically, a dedicated CNC
professional, to provide the following ongoing CNC administrative services. Contract
award does not guarantee any minimum amount of dollars or hours for any of the
vendors selected. However, the City does estimate that the CNC administrative services
will require on average 20 hours a month. The City will award one (1) Professional
Services Work Order Agreement for CNC work that includes the following:
• Tools upgrades
RFP 7310 Managed Services for JDE Page 5 of 22
• Full builds
• ESUs
• Major upgrades
• Vertex Maintenance
• Other CNC duties as required
Additionally, the City is looking for two vendors to provide the following as -needed
consulting services. The highest -ranked proposer will serve as the primary contractor
and the second -highest ranked proposer will serve as the secondary (backup)
contractor. As a standard practice, it is the intent of the City that, as the need for JD
Edwards Application Consulting arises, the City would contact the primary contractor
regarding the specifics of the need. If the primary contractor is unable to meet that need
with sufficient qualified resources in the time frame required, the secondary contractor
would be contacted. If neither contractor is able to meet the need, other contractors
would be contacted. The City will award two (2) Professional Services Work Order
Agreements for Applications work that will include the following:
• Development services such as business functions, business services, enterprise
report writing, and BI Publisher form development;
Functional consulting for any or all of the modules referenced in Section 4.5 to assist
staff on in-house projects or troubleshooting when they need short term additional
assistance.
• Other Applications duties as required.
Scope of Services Process
When the City identifies a specific scope of work to be completed under this contract; a
written detailed Work Order for the project/task will be created between the Vendor and
City staff. This scope of work will include an agreed upon fixed number of hours to
perform the scope of services, a detailed description of those services, and any other
necessary information.
The vendor, or vendors selected, will be able to work remotely through a VPN
connection, and therefore, travel should not be required. If the vendor determines that
travel is required, the hourly rate quoted for services should be inclusive of travel
expenses.
