Cloud-Hosted SaaS Permit, License, Code Enforcement, and Asset Management System

The City of Bismarck seeks a secure, cloud-hosted Software-as-a-Service platform to support permitting, licensing, inspections, code enforcement, and optional enterprise asset and work order management across multiple departments. The solution must replace fragmented legacy systems, provide mobile field access with offline functionality, and natively integrate with the City's ESRI GIS environment, including ArcGIS Online. Only onshore USA organizations are eligible to bid, and performance of the work will be offsite. Proposals are due April 10, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. CST, and must be submitted as PDF files along with one physical copy to 221 N 5th, Bismarck, ND 58501. A selection committee of City officials and staff will evaluate proposals based on criteria including vendor qualifications and experience, cost, and system demonstrations for shortlisted proposers, and the City may make multiple awards. While there is no fixed budget, proposers must submit a quantified estimated total budget and recommend a contract term length for initial deployment and renewal.
