REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

WORKDAY IMPLEMENTATION AND INTEGRATION SERVICES

TALLAHASSEE COMMUNITY COLLEGE

Introduction and Purpose Tallahassee Community College (hereinafter referred to as “TCC” or “The College”) is requesting qualified vendors (hereinafter referred to as “Respondent”, “Respondents”, “Vendor”, or “Vendors”) to submit responses to this Request for Information for Workday Implementation and Integration Services (hereinafter referred to as “RFI”). The College has determined that its present Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) suite of software, called “Integrow,” is no longer meeting the needs of the College and has not been meeting the needs of the College for quite some time. The College has also determined that the multi-tenant, Software as a Service (SaaS) ERP solution from Workday is the best fit for TCC and has purchased the following suite of applications from Workday (hereinafter referred to as “the Workday Suite”):

HCM Payroll Time Tracking Expenses Procurement Financials Grants Management Big Data Analytics

The College has also determined that the time is right to identify and procure a comprehensive electronic document imaging and management solution. Integration with the document imaging system is within the scope of this RFI. The College has also entered into a Design Partner agreement with Workday to help design and then implement the Workday Student and Faculty system; however, the implementation of the Student and Faculty system is not within the scope of this RFI. Accordingly, the College seeks to identify a Vendor who can help the College implement the Workday Suite (replacing Integrow) and a document imaging solution, utilizing the most efficient and, when possible, “best of breed” workflows and methodologies, in the most timely and cost-effective manner for the College as possible (hereinafter referred to as “ERP Implementation Services”). Specific implementation and Vendor requirements are described in detail in this RFI.

Page 6 of 24

Procurement Process The College is not required to solicit competitive offers for information technology (“IT”) related services pursuant to Florida Department of Education (“FDOE”) Rule 6A-14.0734. Nevertheless, the College believes that a competitive approach to procuring the implementation services described in this RFI will be in the best financial interests of the College. Accordingly, this RFI will enable the College to determine which Vendors, if any, are in the best position to provide the implementation services described in this RFI in a manner that serves the best interests, financial and otherwise, of the College. The College, at its sole discretion, may choose to engage in negotiations with any, all, or none of the Respondents to this RFI in order to obtain the best processes and pricing for the implementation services described in this RFI. The College, at its sole discretion, may also choose to engage in negotiations with implementation services providers who do not respond to this RFI. For the avoidance of doubt: the College plans to procure the ERP Implementation Services described in this RFI without a competitive solicitation based upon the exception available to the College in FDOE Rule 6A-14.0734(2)(g) for IT purchases. Since this is not a competitive solicitation process, the protest provisions stipulated in Florida Statute 120.57 are not applicable to this RFI.

All information submitted in response to the RFI is subject to the Public Records Law of Chapter 119 F.S. If you provide any information that you believe is confidential and proprietary, please mark it accordingly, provided that marking such information in itself will not exempt it from the public records law if such information does not fall within any exemptions available under the Public Records Law.

The Proposal Evaluation Process The College has selected qualified personnel to act as an Evaluation Committee. Based on the results of their evaluation, the proposal determined to be most advantageous to the College may be selected for further action to include contract negotiations. The Evaluation Committee will evaluate material factors for this selection including but not limited to those listed in the following sections. Additional criteria may be considered as deemed appropriate by the Evaluation Committee. As part of the proposal evaluation process, the College intends to make inquiries and investigations, including verbal or written references from Respondent’s customers. In addition to considering the ability of the Respondent to provide the proposed services, the Evaluation Committee will consider additional factors such as the Respondent’s qualifications, familiarity with the requirements of colleges, and experience with the Workday Suite. The College reserves the right to reject any proposal for any reason. Respondents will be evaluated based on the information provided in response to this RFI, inquiries and investigations performed by the College, and if invited, on an oral presentation to the Evaluation Committee and others as determined by the College. The College plans to conduct the evaluation and selection process in four steps:

Step 1. Analysis of RFI Responses The first step will consist of a review of the vendor response to validate that the Minimum Qualifications are met. Minimum Qualifications are outlined in this RFI. Vendor responses not meeting Minimum Qualifications may be eliminated at the discretion of the Evaluation Committee. If the Minimum Qualifications are met, the Evaluation Committee will:

- Analyze the RFI responses from each Respondent. - Make a determination regarding which, if any Respondents will be further evaluated.

Step 2. Oral Presentations and Reference Checks Based on the determination of the Evaluation Committee, one or more vendors may be asked to participate further, and will be evaluated on:

- Performance on oral presentations - Answers and responses to questions during evaluation - Reference checking results - Cost

For the on-site presentations, RFI respondents *must* bring with them staff that will be assigned to TCC as the on-site project manager and any other project managers who will be assigned to our account. In addition, TCC would also like to have present any other members of the team that will be assigned to our account. While having team members present is not mandatory, it is mandatory that respondents have the manager(s); we want to be able to talk to the person/people who we will be interacting with the most.

Page 8 of 24

Step 3. Evaluation Committee Recommendation The results from all of the vendor analyses, oral presentations, reference checking, and cost information will be used by the Evaluation Committee to recommend the finalist or finalists who the Committee feels would be a best-fit ERP implementation vendor(s) for the College. These finalists will be selected for Negotiations.

Step 4. Negotiations The College will enter into negotiations with the provider(s) it deems most likely to meet all of the needs of the College, including any concessions that the College may choose to seek from the vendor(s). Regardless of any negotiations, the College will procure ERP implementation Services as described in the section titled “Procurement Process.”

Minimum Qualifications for ERP Implementers The College will evaluate the Respondent’s ability to fulfill its proposed solution based upon specified qualifications, quality of references, company viability, staff and overall viability of the company or companies. The minimum qualifications are:

- Be certified by Workday to implement all of the modules in the Workday Suite as described in the section titled “Introduction and Purpose,” using the Workday methodology, within higher education in particular or education and government sectors in general. If you are not currently certified for Big Data Analytics or any other Workday component, clearly state your timeline for attaining Workday certification, or the reason why you will not be Workday certified

- Have prior experience implementing all or part of the Workday Suite, preferably in comparable higher education institutions of like mission, size, and complexity as the College.

- Have prior experience implementing, or integrating with, a document management system, preferably in comparable higher education institutions of like mission, size, and complexity as the College

- Evidence that the proposed implementation services have been successfully implemented.

Evaluation Factors and Criteria for ERP Implementers The College will evaluate the Respondents to this RFI based on the information provided in Respondent's proposal, references, and, if invited, their in person presentation among other factors. The evaluation will be conducted by an Evaluation Committee and the following will be considered:

Implementation plan and methodology for implementing Workday (HCM, Payroll, Time Tracking, Expenses, Procurement, Financials, Grants Management, Big Data Analytics), including:

Implementation strategy Functional training strategy and plan Technical training strategy and plan Data Conversion plan Data Migration plan Existing Systems integration Change Management Plan Reporting and Analytics Implementation Quality Assurance and Testing End-user training strategy and plan
