Explanation

BACKGROUND:
The Department of Technology will be entering into contract with COMSYS, Plannet Group, The Ohio State University (CETI), and Delphia Consulting for the purchase of various support, professional and eGOV services. In order to bring the City's web hosting in house and to enhance the City's eGOV Infrastructure Project, the Department Of Technology utilized the request for proposal process detailed in City Code 329.14, awarding professional service contracts through requests for Proposals. SA002268 was published with proposals due on January 10, 2007.
The City received ten responses to the eGov RFP. They included: Ohio State University's Collaborative for Enterprise Transformation and Innovation (CETI), Resource One Computer Systems Inc., Plannet Group, Blackwell Consulting Services of Ohio, Delphia Consulting, Crowe Chizek, BEA Systems, COMSYS, Smart Solutions, Inc. and InsightETE.
Upon review of the proposals The Ohio State University (CETI), Resource One, Plannet Group, Blackwell Consulting Services of Ohio, Delphia Consulting, Crowe Chizek, COMSYS, and Smart Solutions, Inc. were invited to make presentations.
The evaluation team selected COMSYS for migrating content using the Ektron CMS, Plannet Group was chosen to provide comprehensive security services, The Ohio State University (CETI) was chosen to provide Enterprise Architecture and Portal Architecture Services. and Delphia Consulting was chosen to provide usability services. Capital funds are required to provide these services.
