About this opportunity
AI summaryThe Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA) is soliciting proposals from qualified consultants for a cloud-based shift log and operational rounds system, including software and implementation services. The solution must support online and offline mobile data entry, workflow-based approvals, automated calculations, custom reporting, shift scheduling, and out-of-range alerts. Only USA-based organizations are eligible to bid, and performance of the work will be offsite. Optional pre-bid meetings take place virtually on Microsoft Teams on November 4, 2026, with RSVPs due by November 3, 2026. All questions must be submitted through the Bonfire portal by November 18, 2026, at 12:00 PM EST. Proposals must be submitted digitally by Monday, December 7, 2026, at 12:00 PM EST. Cost proposals must be submitted exclusively in the Euna Procurement bid table, as any technical proposal containing cost details will face immediate disqualification. Evaluations occur in three rounds. Round 1 checks minimum criteria, including Attachment No. 7 (IT Security Questionnaire) and Attachment No. 8 (Technology and Strategic Requirements). Round 2 evaluates technical ability, project team structure, staff experience, and system requirements, with technical sections limited to 30 pages in 11-point font. Round 3 shortlists the top four consultants for formal virtual presentations, solution demonstrations, and reference checks. Cost is not scored but may inform final award decisions.
