AI-powered Engineering Specification Assistant Services

The City seeks an onshore USA vendor to deliver a production-ready, browser-based AI engineering specification assistant embedded on the City's website. The solution must accurately answer internal staff and external user questions about agency technical specification manuals using a citation-based chat interface. The selected vendor must provide and manage all system components offsite, including project management, the AI/ML pipeline, document update processes, chat interface, admin portal, user feedback collection, access controls, testing, training, and ongoing support. The system must allow City staff to maintain and update manuals annually and scale to support additional manuals and city code searches over time. The buyer requires a complete project management plan, an administrative training plan, and a public-facing training resource. Interested USA organizations must submit proposals digitally via email or online, as the City is currently seeking budget proposals. Key dates include a non-mandatory pre-proposal conference on September 28, 2026, and a final question deadline of September 29, 2026.
