Replacement of CharlotteNC.gov

Migrate charlottenc.gov content from the existing Sharepoint environment managed by RMSource/Azure to a new, modern hosted/SaaS Content Management System solution. Migrating the city’s public facing website to an innovative content management system will provide more
opportunities for accessibility, delivering a good user experience, and reducing the amount of time dedicated to managing content. Some other drivers are a need for high availability, scalability to meet peak demands, responsive pages to provide a good user experience for multiple media types, and more options for adding custom functionality to public facing pages The City will go through an RFP process. The RFP will be for the SaaS solution, and for migration/re design of the site content. The implementation process will be to migrate/re-design content from the City’s Sharepoint Charlottenc.gov environment to the new CMS environment. It is expected to be a 6-12 month project. 

All departments will benefit from this project.

CATS Mobile Ticketing Application Services

The Scope of Work describes CATS’ minimal functional requirements for a mobile ticketing app. It is intended to be used as a general guide and is not a complete list nor description of all work necessary.  Proposers responding to this RFP are expected to be familiar with all aspects of project management. Additional requirements pertaining to this Work are stipulated in the Sample Contract included as an attachment to the RFP. Proposers are strongly encouraged to specifically review the requirements relating to ownership of work, data privacy, and data security that are included.

CATS is seeking a mobile ticketing app for its transit services. The app shall integrate with the CATS Genfare fare collection system.  In addition, the app shall support Transportation Network Companies (“TNC”s) used with First Mile / Last Mile.  The solution proposed shall provide CATS transit customers with a smart, intuitive, secure and reliable app for all CATS pass types including support for discounts and promotions. The app shall provide functionality for fare enforcement digital verification by either visual validation or handheld fare inspector mobile devices.

The Proposer will be responsible for providing, hosting, operating and maintaining the mobile ticketing app. CATS requires a turnkey solution that shall include design, testing, delivery, site preparation, installation, and assistance with associated hardware if necessary, software, communications, all system interfaces, all other system components, operations, maintenance, licenses, support and training.
