Question #1
Task 1 is for Software Selection. Does this rule out software developers from submitting for this proposal with their own software? The software developers probably have the best knowledge of their software and the conversion process.
Answer:
Software developers are not prohibited from submitting a Statement of Qualifications.
Question #2
Would you entertain a software demonstration before the selection if you will accept proposals from software developers?
Answer:
No; the Consultant’s Statement of Qualifications should contain sufficient information to enable the OahuMPO to fully evaluate and determine the Consultant’s capability to comply with (i.e., meet or exceed) all the requirements identified in the Request for Qualifications.
Question #3
Have you any preferences for any software that you have seen?
Answer:
The OahuMPO is looking for software that best suits our needs. We expect the Consultant to evaluate the capabilities of the various software packages and make a recommendation to the OahuMPO.
Question #4
There are “reasonability” checks in the scope of work. Will OahuMPO provide the data for these comparisons? Should this data be collected as part of the project by the contractor?
Answer:
Reasonability checks would be based on existing data.
