SECTION 1 - PURPOSE, BACKGROUND, AND TERM

1.1 PURPOSE

The purpose of this Request for Proposal (RFP) is to solicit proposals from qualified firms interested inproviding the California State University (CSU) with consulting services for the Digital Marketplace(DM) project.

1.2 CSU BACKGROUND

The California State University is the largest system of higher education in the nation, the most diverse,

and one of the most affordable university systems in the country. The CSU system is comprised oftwenty-three (23) campuses statewide and the Office of the Chancellor in Long Beach. The Office of theChancellor is the systemwide executive office of the CSU. The CSU is governed by a 25-member Boardof Trustees, the majority of which are appointed by the Governor. More information about the CSU canbe found at: http://www.calstate.edu/datastore/quick_facts.shtml Data regarding the size and populationfor each of the campuses can be found at the web site:http://www.calstate.edu/datastore/quick_facts.shtml.

1.3 PROJECT OVERVIEW

The Digital Marketplace (DM) is an exchange where many providers of higher education learningresources can connect with many faculty and students who use those resources. The goal of the DigitalMarketplace is to perform this exchange in such a way that new, unique levels of affordability,accessibility, and choice for these resources are achieved. The CSU Chancellors Office (CSUCO),Academic Technology Services department, is leading the effort to develop and deploy the DM.

The CSUCO recognizes that it does not have internally the necessary skills and experience to accomplishthe development and deployment of the DM. So, the CSU has adopted the strategy of engaging industry

experts and assembling them into a comprehensive project team as the way to staff this project. TheCSUCO intends to follow this strategy going forward.

1.4 PROJECT BACKGROUND

The Digital Marketplace project has been in development for three years. During that time and inconsultation of many faculty, students, administration, publishers, and industry technology companies thedevelopment team as conceptualized a model of the DM that meets specific design principles. Keyaspects of the DM model include a comprehensive learning resource metadata schema, a set of webservices that perform the tasks of the exchange, and an emerging business model that allows many

providers and many consumers of learning content to form the necessary connecting relationships.Recently, a field integration trial of this model was completed that evaluated the model against threeworkflows: content authoring, resource list management and student acquisition, and a pay per viewoption for the academic content.

Going forward, the project will continue with an expanded integration trial through 2009. It is expectedthat in 2010 and following the project will move to the deployment phase (refer to Section 4.2. for overall

4/33

Complementary in nature. The team members will represent the complimentary andcomprehensive array of knowledge, skill, and experience needed for this project.

Individual, not companies. The team will be composed of individuals with the skills andexperience sought, not representatives of companies with those skills and experiences. This is tobe a team of consultants not a team of companies.

The development and deployment of the DM has and will continue to require that the DM team contractwith vendors of software, technology, and services for the testing and operation of the exchange. Thesecontracts are outside the scope of this RFP.

1.5. AGREEMENT TERM

The term shall be from November 1, 2009 through June 30, 2012 with options to renewal for up to five(5) additional one (1) year periods subject to price negotiation and mutual consent of both parties undersame terms and conditions.
