Description

Tualatin Valley Water District (District) invites qualified professional firms to submit proposals for the Request for Proposals for SharePoint and Data Migration (RFP).   The District maintains a legacy SharePoint environment that is hosted on old server hardware, with the software no longer supported by Microsoft.  The District has started to use to SharePoint Online with no formal effort to migrate legacy data.  As a result, data and records in the legacy environment are confusing, inconsistent, and often out-of-date.

The District needs to assess legacy data, develop a plan to migrate it to SharePoint Online or OneDrive, decommission the legacy SharePoint environment, and update administration and oversight processes (Project).

The RFP documents are available at https://bidlocker.us/details/3147_Sharepoint_And_Data_Migration (Bid Locker). Potential proposers who do not already have an approved vendor profile set up with the District will need to register with Bid Locker at https://bidlocker.us/Home/bidlockerus before being able to access the RFP documents. There is no cost to register.

Registration requires a correctly completed Confidentiality Agreement, which is available through the registration process.  Following completion of the requested vendor information and upload of the Confidentiality Agreement, the vendor profile will be sent for a manual approval.  Please allow one business day for your vendor profile to be approved.  If it has not been approved within one business day, or if you have questions about this process, please contact heather.speight@tvwd.org. 

RFP documents may also be obtained in electronic or hard copy format by contacting Megan Verdoorn at Contractor Plan Center, Inc., 5468 SE International Drive, Milwaukie, OR 97222, 503.650.0148, megan@contractorplancenter.com, www.contractorplancenter.com.  If a potential proposer obtains the RFP from Contractor Plan Center, the proposer is still responsible for registering with Bid Locker in order to submit their proposal.  Proposers are advised to ensure that their Bid Locker District vendor profile is active and approved a minimum of three business days prior to the proposal Deadline to prevent any issues with submitting a proposal on time.

Proposers will be notified via email when addenda are published.  It is the responsibility of the proposer to obtain all addenda.  If the RFP was downloaded from Bid Locker, there will be a link for addenda provided in the automated email.

All proposals must be submitted by 2:00 p.m., Wednesday, November 16, 2022 (Deadline) to Bid Locker. Late proposals, proposals received by email, fax, or in hard copy will not be accepted or considered.  Proposals will not be publicly opened.
