The procurement stage

This RFI awards nothing. It shapes what comes next.

No contract, no reimbursement, no prequalification. Responding is neither required for nor a guarantee of future participation. The value is positioning for the RFP the RFI will shape.

Stage 1, nowRFI 26-011, information only. Vendors complete the six-tab workbook. No award, no roster, no shortlist commitment.
Stage 2BerryDunn synthesis. The consulting advisor reviews and synthesizes responses before they reach Town leadership.
Stage 3The future RFP, the real competition, scoped partly by what the RFI responses reveal.
Stage 4Contract, awarded from the RFP, not from this RFI.
The differentiator · Two-stage read
BerryDunn reads first, and the workbook comment fields are the scored narrative.

A consulting advisor, not Town staff, is the first reader and synthesizes responses before they reach Town leadership. A row marked with a bare F/G/P/R/T indicator and no comment is indistinguishable from a competitor's. The comment fields are where a vendor proves it read and understood how the response will be judged. Two domain signals reinforce it: addressing the Colorado Privacy Act proactively in the Tab 5 cybersecurity response, and aligning any StateRAMP, FedRAMP Moderate, or SOC 2 Type II certification to Colorado OIT standards. Neither is a stated RFI requirement; both read as sophistication markers.

Techtiz drafts the comment narratives across all six tabs, mapped to the prime's product, for the prime's subject-matter experts to validate.
Task allocation

What a remote team drafts, and what stays with the prime.

The boundary that makes a compliant Subcontracting model work on an information-response workbook.

Contractual and confidentiality-driven, not a statutory bar. This is software and IT consulting work, not sealed or licensed professional work. The RFI imposes no data-residency clause and requires no NDA of its own. The limits are prudential: a standard NDA between the US prime and the support team covers restricted use of Town data, non-disclosure of proprietary response content, and return or destruction on completion. The prime owns final accuracy, all product claims, the portal account, and the submission.

Validation of every reference client and authority to bind the vendor

Gates, stated plainly. A signed NDA must be in place before any Town operational data or proprietary response content moves to Techtiz. Town statistics and workbook drafts are used only for response preparation and returned or destroyed on completion. Proprietary product pricing is handled US-side only. No Town systems data exists at the RFI stage; a future contract may add Colorado data-governance and Colorado Privacy Act requirements.

Where responses fail

Binding price quotes instead of estimates Tab 4

The rule

This is an RFI. Tab 4 figures are indicative low and high estimates, not bids. The RFI prohibits binding quotes.

If you miss it

A binding quote can disqualify a vendor from this and future procurement. Label every Tab 4 figure an indicative estimate for planning only.

Scope & the workbook

Three functional areas, one six-tab workbook.

The response is the CO-Town of Parker RFI Workbook, six tabs, with Tab 2 alone carrying more than 190 functional requirements across roughly 200 rows.

Area 1 · Tab 1-2
Modules

Respond 1 native, 2 third-party, or 3 not provided for each of EAM, Work Orders, and Inspection and Inventory, with comments.

Area 2 · Tab 1-2
Functionality, GT.1 to GT.36

F/G/P/R/T indicators with narrative for every P, R, and T. The GT.10 to GT.17 security block is the most evaluable section.

Area 3 · Tab 1-2
Implementation

Professional-services model, Town team roles, work-effort split, and phase durations with low and high estimates.

Area 4 · Tab 1-2
Cost worksheet

Indicative low and high estimates across all categories including recurring SaaS, clearly labeled as estimates.

Area 5 · Tab 1-2
Informational questions

EAM experience, data migration, cybersecurity, licensing, and Colorado local-government references.

Area 6
Future systems environment

A disposition recommendation for each of the six named legacy systems, with rationale.

Value model

The Town's eventual project, in three scenarios.

The Town stated no budget. The SaaS ranges below are independent pre-bid estimates derived from scope, not Town figures, and the Tab 4 workbook figures must stay non-binding. The single variable that moves where the Town lands is the scope of TRAKiT historical data migration.

Low
$180k+ $95k/yr

Migrate active records only, retain TRAKiT as a read-only archive.

MidBase case
$320k+ $145k/yr

Partial historical migration with a phased cutover. Model under NDA

High
$520k+ $210k/yr

Full historical migration of all TRAKiT records into the new platform.

All figures are pre-bid planning estimates, not Town or vendor numbers. One-time plus recurring annual SaaS. The TRAKiT migration decision, migrate all versus retain as archive, is what swings the scenario.
Techtiz back-office pricing is scoped per engagement after NDA and is not part of the public RFI intelligence.
Current estate & integration

Six named systems, plus GIS, spreadsheets, and paper.

Tab 6 asks for a replace, retain, or integrate recommendation on every current system. TRAKiT is the migration source and the largest variable; Esri ArcGIS is the integration anchor.

Beehive

Public Works work orders and asset tracking, the core system an EAM platform would absorb.

FASTER

Fleet management.

Laserfiche

Document management to integrate or retain.

RoadAI

Pavement-condition assessment.

SmartForce

Police equipment tracking.

Sprocket & more

Facilities maintenance, plus GIS tools, Caselle, spreadsheets, and paper processes.

Agency context

Who is buying, and who reads it first.

Welcome to the Town of Parker, Colorado

The Town of Parker is a home-rule municipality in Douglas County, Colorado, founded 1864. Procurement runs through the Finance Department under Charles Ellis, Chief Procurement Officer, the named contact and signer. The Town retained BerryDunn as its consulting advisor, and BerryDunn reviews and synthesizes vendor responses before they reach Town leadership, which makes it the first and gating reader.

The competing field

23 primes mapped, in-state firms in the mix.

From the prime-contractor database. The database carries no revenue figures, every revenue and headcount cell is a research placeholder, so no combined total can be computed.

Before June 12

Four questions worth filing.

Questions the prime should file through the Euna portal Q&A. Techtiz never contacts the Town or BerryDunn.

Question 01

Are T responses with a named integration partner acceptable?

Confirming that a Third-party indicator with a named partner is acceptable shapes how honestly the Tab 2 capabilities can be presented.

Question 02

Does a data dictionary or export exist from Beehive or FASTER?

The migration methodology in Tab 5 depends on what conversion source data is available from the two core systems.

Under NDA
Question 03

Must Tab 6 address all six systems or only EAM-relevant ones?

Scoping the disposition analysis correctly avoids both an incomplete answer and wasted effort.

Question 04

Is general SaaS pricing acceptable in Tab 4?

Confirming the expected granularity keeps the indicative cost estimate responsive without crossing into a binding quote.

Under NDA

Frequently asked questions

Pre-bid brief & confidentiality

Quick answers about how to use this engagement example and what detail is available under NDA.

Why is the prime contractor name withheld?

Most SLED subcontract work sits under mutual NDA and prime branding requirements. Public summaries describe engagement type, technical surface, and outcomes. Partner names and proposal content are shared only with explicit written permission or under an executed teaming agreement.

Can Techtiz support our bid on a similar pursuit?

Yes. If your pursuit matches this engagement type, email sled@techtiz.co or use the teaming intake form. Within 1 business day a U.S.-based partner manager replies with a mutual NDA template and a calendar slot—never agency-facing.

What do we receive under NDA?

Full RFP-decode packs, compliance matrices, technical volumes, submission runbooks, and named-resume options scoped to your vehicle and timeline. Prime name, pricing, and agency data stay inside the prime boundary.

Does Techtiz contact the procuring agency?

No. Techtiz is subcontract-only and never faces the agency. Your program manager holds the client relationship, sign-off, and all agency communication.
