Section A: RFP Introduction
A.1 Purpose of the RFP With this Request for Proposals (RFP), San Juan County, NM (the County) desires to purchase or
otherwise acquire rights to use an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System that meets the
requirements identified in this RFP. The County requires that any proposal for an ERP also include
professional services necessary to implement the system. Proposers offering hosted services or software
as a service (SaaS) systems are encouraged to propose.
A.2 About the County San Juan County, NM was incorporated in 1887 and is located in the northwest corner of the state in the
Four Corners region. The County is approximately 5,535 square miles and according to the U.S. Census
Bureau had an estimated population of 126,503 in 2013.
The County operates under the Commission, Manager (County Executive Officer) form of government.
San Juan County provides a full range of services, including fire and public safety, road maintenance and
construction, waste transfer stations, parks and facilities, adult and juvenile corrections, building permits,
addressing, subdivisions, and Section 8 housing program.
The County is the fiscal agent for two separate entities, the San Juan Water Commission and the
Communications Authority. The County processes payroll separately for the County, Election Workers,
Communications Authority, and Volunteer Firefighters, with a potential additional process for San Juan
Water Commission.

spreadsheets (many functions), and many manual or paper-based systems. Section B.22 Current
Applications provides a list of the County’s existing systems.
PAGE 6 OF 44
The County is currently in the process of implementing Tyler Eagle, a property appraisal and assessment
system, to replace RealWare (Assesor) and GEMS (Treasurer). The project is expected to go-live in July
2015.
A.4 Project Goals The limited installed functionality and lack of integration between systems requires that staff utilize many
shadow systems to support key business processes. With this project, the County aims to improve
business processes, gain efficiencies, simplify and standardize use of systems, and install core public
sector ERP functionality. The County’s key goals and indicators of project include the following:
Integrated system to eliminate stand-alone systems to the extent possible
Improve and update outdated technology
Improve business processes
Improve system and data integration to stand-alone systems where possible
Eliminate silo systems
Eliminate duplication on data entry
User-friendly system
Access to source data and user-friendly reporting tools
Reduce paper
Employee self-service
Vendor self-service
A.5 Notice to Proposers Failure to carefully read and understand this RFP may cause the proposal to be out of compliance,
rejected by the County, or legally obligate the proposer to more than it may realize. Information obtained
by the proposer from any officer, agent or employee of the County shall not affect the risks or obligations
assumed by the proposer or relieve the proposer from fulfilling any of the RFP conditions or any
subsequent contract conditions. Attempts by or on behalf of a prospective or existing vendor to contact or
to influence any member of the selection committee, any member of the County Commission, or any
employee of the County with regard to the acceptance of a proposal may lead to elimination of that
vendor from further consideration. Only the format described in the RFP and the attachments included
with this RFP will be accepted as compliant for the submitted proposal. Failure to completely fill out all
required attachments may result in disqualification.
A.6 Conditions A.6.1 In the event that all RFP requirements are not met with products and services provided by one
firm, proposers are encouraged to partner with another firm to submit a joint proposal. Failure to
meet all requirements will not disqualify a firm. However, the County will evaluate each
proposal to determine its overall fit in the best interests of the County.
A.6.2 In the event that multiple firms partner to submit a joint proposal, the proposal must identify one
firm as the primary contact. This primary contact will be the primary point of contact throughout
the procurement process and will be held responsible for the overall implementation of all
partners included in the joint proposal.
A.6.3 All third-party solutions proposed as part of a joint proposal are subject to the same requirements
of this RFP, unless otherwise stated.
A.6.4 Implementation pricing must be submitted on a “milestone” basis. For implementation services
under a milestone arrangement, the County compensates the vendor a fixed amount for the
completion of major milestones. Proposers are to provide all work effort and assumptions used
PAGE 7 OF 44
to calculate either a fixed fee for each milestone. The scope of the project will be defined by the
statement of work and detailed functional requirements included as Attachment 14 (Cost). All
firms submitting proposals are encouraged to submit the most competitive proposal possible as
the failure to do so may lead to elimination prior to software demonstrations.
A.6.5 This RFP, its general provisions, and the terms and conditions identified in Section C shall be
incorporated in any agreement resulting from this solicitation, and the RFP and its terms and
conditions, plus attachments shall control unless the Agreement expressly provides otherwise.
A.6.6 All proposals and any subsequent clarification or response to the County’s questions shall be
valid for a minimum of 150 days.
A.7 County’s Rights Reserved A.7.1 The County reserves the right to select the proposal(s) which in its sole judgment best meets the
needs of the County. The lowest proposed cost will not be the sole criterion for recommending
the contract award.
A.7.2 The County reserves the right to award multiple contracts from this RFP.
A.7.3 The County reserves the right to reject any or all proposals and to waive technicalities and
informalities when such waiver is determined by the County to be in the County’s best interest.

posted on http://www.sjcounty.net/departments/athrug/purchasing/current-bids and sent
electronically to all proposers who have submitted the Acknowledgement of Receipt Form. (See

A.7.5 The County reserves the right to meet with select proposers at any time to gather additional
information. Furthermore, the County reserves the right to remove or add functionality (i.e.,
modules, components, and/or services) until the final contract signing.
A.7.6 This RFP does not commit the County to award a contract. All proposals submitted in response
to this RFP become the property of the County and public records, and as such, may be subject
to public review following awarding of a contract.
A.7.7 The County shall not be liable for any pre-contractual expenses incurred by prospective vendors,
including but not limited to costs incurred in the preparation or submission of proposals. The
County shall be held harmless and free from any and all liability, claims, or expenses whatsoever
incurred by, or on behalf of, any person or organization responding to this RFP.
A.8 Communication Regarding this RFP All communication from prospective proposers regarding this RFP must be in writing by email to the
address listed in Section A.9 of this RFP. Communication by telephone or in person will not be accepted.
Attempts by or on behalf of a prospective or existing vendor to contact or to influence any member of the
selection committee, any member of the County Council or any employee of the County with regard to
the acceptance of a proposal may lead to elimination of that vendor from further consideration.
A.9 Inquiries and Requests for Clarification A.9.1 In an effort to maintain fairness in the process, inquiries concerning this procurement, including
questions related to technical issues are to be directed through email to the following contact.

A.11.1 Software demonstrations and implementation presentations will be held on-site at the County’s
offices and can cover all functional areas listed in this RFP. The County expects to elevate up to
three (3) proposers for demonstrations. Demonstrations will include both presentations on
software and implementation services. It is highly recommended that proposed key members of
the proposer’s implementation staff for this project be present at the demonstration and lead
presentation of any implementation topics. To avoid unnecessary delays, the County expects that
proposers will be available for software demonstrations and on-site Discovery sessions on the
dates identified on the procurement schedule and to identify any potential issues or conflicts in
their response to this RFP using Attachment 2 (Proposal of Offeror Form). Proposers that cannot
demonstrate their software by the time the County requested may be eliminated. The agenda and
software demonstration scripts will be distributed to proposers that have been short-listed for
software demonstrations approximately two to three weeks in advance of the demonstrations.
Software demonstrations will also include discussions on implementation. The County reserves
the right to change the dates as needed.
A.11.2 Discovery sessions will consist of an additional on-site meeting with elevated proposers to focus
on implementation issues. After software demonstrations, it is expected the County will elevate
up to two (2) proposers. Each elevated proposal team will receive a Request for Clarification
(RFC) letter that will ask proposers to clarify any necessary parts of the initial proposal. In
addition, the RFC letter will identify a schedule for the on-site Discovery session that will
include a detailed discussion of implementation issues. It is the expectation of the County that all
key project team members will be available for the on-site Discovery sessions.
A.12 Evaluation Criteria The County will review all proposals received as part of a documented evaluation process. For each
decision point in the process, the County will evaluate proposers according to specific criteria and will
then elevate a certain number of proposers to compete in the next level. Proposers not previously elevated
may be elevated at a later date.
The sole purpose of the proposal evaluation process is to determine which solution best meets the
County’s needs. The evaluation process is not meant to imply that one proposer is superior to any other,
but rather that the selected proposer can provide and has proposed the best software and implementation
approach for the County’s current and future needs based on the information available and the County’s
best efforts of determination.
PAGE 10 OF 44
The proposal evaluation criteria, which will be developed by the County prior to opening of proposals,
should be viewed as standards that measure how well a proposer’s approach meets the desired
requirements and needs of the County. The criteria that will be used to evaluate proposals may include,
but are not limited to the following:
Cost
Response to Attachment 13 (Functional Requirements)
Software Demonstrations
Implementation Approach
Past Experience with Similar Organizations and References
Proposed Integration to Other Modules / Systems in RFP Scope
Technical Compatibility
Overall Understanding of the County’s Needs and Project Risk Mitigation
Project Management Approach
Compliance with Contract Terms and Conditions
In-state resident preference
Resident veterans preference

criteria or other criteria not included in the above list. The County’s selection team will then make a
recommendation to be approved by the County Commission to elevate proposals for final contract
negotiations.

the event a public records request is made for data for which an Offeror has made a written
request for confidentiality, the Central Purchasing Department shall examine the Offeror's
Proposal and make a written determination which specifies which portions of the proposal
should be disclosed in accordance with applicable New Mexico law. Unless the Offeror takes
action to prevent the disclosure, the proposal will be so disclosed. The proposal shall be open to
public inspection subject to any continuing prohibition on the disclosure of confidential data.

Please note that the County currently does not conduct business licensing, but wants to explore this area
should in the future it requires business licensing functions.
C.2 Project Scope – Implementation Services The County is aware of the level of effort required for an ERP implementation. The County also
understands the importance of a disciplined implementation that includes services for project
management, system design and documentation, testing, and training. The County also desires a project
where implementation consultants will help configure the ultimate solution and provide in depth
consultation regarding process efficiencies and best practices.
C.3 Project Scope – Organization Scope The following organizations (all County departments) are included in the scope of this project:
PAGE 20 OF 44

Department Name Number of
Employees
Department Name Number of
Employees
County Commission 5 CEO 12

Alternative Sentencing 55 Housing 3
Juvenile Services 50 Golf Course 11
San Juan Water Commission 6 Communication Authority 46
C.4 Project Scope – Implementation Deliverables To ensure quality throughout the implementation, the County’s project will include, at a minimum, the
following deliverables. Each deliverable will be the responsibility of the vendor and will be formally
presented to the County for review and sign off. For projects with multiple phases, the County expects
each phase to contain each deliverable (unless noted otherwise)
1) Comprehensive Project Plan – Detailed listing of tasks for the entire project that includes the
following for each task: due date, responsibility, and predecessors. Tasks to include on the project
plan will include all implementation activity, deadlines, milestones, sign offs, review periods, and
deliverables.
2) System Design Document – Work product that identifies both the business process decisions as
well as system configuration decisions for each in scope business process and system feature.
3) Testing Scripts – Test scripts based on the functional requirements and system design document
that require successful completion of each item in scope (functional requirements) and the set-up
of the system (system configuration).
4) Training Documentation – Complete system manual for how to use the configured system.
C.5 Project Scope - Hosting Services and/or Software as a Service The County is interested in obtaining the best system that will meet the overall needs of key stakeholders
for many years. One consideration for the evaluation will be long-term risk mitigation and overall cost of
ownership, including that of hardware. While the County would be capable of hosting the system
internally, it would prefer a vendor hosted system or software-as-a-service deployment. However, any
such hosting contract would need to be accompanied by service level agreements that set clear
expectations for system availability, performance, security, operating procedures, and customer service
and support responsiveness.
C.6 Project Schedule The County has a limited staff, but is focused on maintaining momentum for the project and achieving the
project’s anticipated goals. The County desires to implement the ERP solution according to best
practices. Currently, the County expects to implement financials first, then human resources. Further, the
County assumes that such a phased implementation will require approximately 18-24 months. These
assumptions do not represent solution requirements, but vendors are encouraged to consider County
resource availability in preparing their proposals and recommended implementation phasing.
PAGE 21 OF 44
C.7 Project Staffing The County will make every effort to staff the project appropriately and understands that staffing a project
is important to its success. The following table lists resources that the County expects to be available for
the project, their applicable areas of knowledge/assumed roles in the project, and the maximum
participation levels in the project.
County Staff Participation
Assumed Role Maximum Participation (FTE)
Project Manager 1.0
Finance Lead 1.0
Procurement Lead 1.0
HR Lead 2.0
Payroll Lead 1.0
Community Development Lead 0.5
IT Lead 0.5
C.8 Statement of Work The County will require the development of a detailed statement of work, including a high-level project
plan, prior to contract signing. The statement of work will include and describe at least the following and
may include additional items the County deems necessary:
Project scope
Project milestones
Project deliverables
High level project schedule (listing of phases and go-live dates)
Project resources
Project roles and responsibilities
Project change control procedures
C.9 Number of Users It is difficult for the County to envision exactly who will use the system as implementation of the system
will result in a major change in the way that the County does business. Proposers should plan, however,
on having all County departments with access to the system for at least a few users to enter transactions.
The following user counts identify expected users within each functional area. Additional users may be
required for extra help and proposers should plan to provide sufficient system access for the County to
fully implement its desired business processes. Proposals should include services to complete
implementation and any appropriate training services to prepare all County staff for using the system.
(Note: Employees are counted in multiple columns).

each functional requirement, including the interface requirements, to identify the proposed scope. Any
positive response – “Y” or “Y-ND” listed in Attachment 13 (Functional Requirements) is considered to
be in scope and all pricing for the proposed scope included in the submitted milestone pricing. Interfaces
to the County’s existing systems are critical to the project success
Proposers are required to complete Attachment 17 (Interface) and indicate if the proposed interfaces are
included in scope

Section D: Contract Terms and Conditions
Below are important contract terms and conditions that the County expects to be part of an agreement
with the finalist proposer(s). Please indicate your willingness to comply with each condition by noting
any exceptions per the instructions in section B.8 of this RFP. Contract terms in the final agreement
should include but will not be limited to those listed below. The County will carefully evaluate any
exceptions to the terms and conditions listed below.
D.1 Key Personnel The County requires assurances as to the consistency and quality of vendor staffing for its project. Key
points of the County’s key personnel provision include:
D.1.1 The County shall have the ability to interview and approve key personnel proposed by the
vendor.
D.1.2 The County shall have the right to dismiss key personnel from the project.
D.1.3 Vendor key personnel may not be removed from the project without the County’s approval.
D.2 Implied and Express Warranty The Proposer will expressly warrant that the proposed and implemented system will conform in all
material respects to the in scope requirements and specifications as stated in this RFP including the
functional requirements in Attachment 13 (Functional Requirements) for a period no less than 12 months
after final acceptance. The rights and remedies provided herein are in addition to and do not limit any
rights afforded to the County by any other clause of this proposal.
D.3 Express Warranty Remedy The County requires that the vendor commit to repair or replace any function not working in the system
during the life of the warranty. In the event a problem cannot be fixed or replaced, the vendor will refund
the full amount paid for the software, implementation and any paid hosting and/or maintenance costs.
D.4 System Acceptance For purposes of acceptance of the system (or portions thereof), the County intends to use a two-staged
acceptance procedure for each phase and for the entire project. Key points include:
D.4.1 “Conditional Acceptance” will occur at or prior to go-live. The County will have up to forty-five
(45) days to test the system (“pre-live testing”) before going live.
D.4.2 The County will have a 90-day period after Conditional Acceptance to “live test” the system.
Live testing is the County’s opportunity to verify that the system complies with the functional
requirements and any other written specifications delivered to the County by the vendor during
the course of the project.
D.4.3 If after the live testing the system performs in accordance with the system specifications
(including the design document and functional requirements), the County will issue “Final
Acceptance.” The 90-day time frame for Final Acceptance shall be extended if problems are
found in the live test. Specifically, the County expects to document the date the problem is found
and the date it is certified as fixed. The acceptance period would pause when issues are reported
and would restart on the date the problem is certified as fixed. The warranty period shall begin at
the time of Final Acceptance.
PAGE 25 OF 44
D.5 Milestones The County requires that all payments be based on successful completion of milestones. After the
County’s acceptance of the milestone, the vendor will invoice for any applicable milestone payments. The
milestone payment amount shall either be a fixed fee or hourly based on the amount of time spent on the
milestone up to a not-to-exceed limit.
D.6 Additional Users and Modules The County will require “price protection” for a minimum of two (2) years from the effective date of the
agreement for additional County users and modules that are listed in the proposal but are not initially
purchased.
D.7 Restrictions on Growth The County requires that any proposed licenses or fees to access the software be adequate to allow the
County to use the system unrestricted for all business purposes of the County and the County agencies,
departments, and other third-party entities listed in this RFP. The County will not be subject to expansion
fees, additional license purchases, or fees for additional users, increases in County employee count,
budget size, population size, or data storage requirements for a period of 10 years from the effective date
of the agreement.
D.8 Delivery of the Project Plan and Other Key Deliverables The project plan is to be delivered within a contractually specified timeframe after contract signing. Delay
or failure to complete in a timely manner in this regard will result in the assessment of liquidated damages
up to $1,000 per day. Other key deliverables (Design Document, Go-Live Date, and any other deliverable
that can be deemed substantially the responsibility of the vendor) will also be subject to the assessment of
liquidated damages up to $1,000 per day if the vendor misses these key timeframes.
D.9 Indemnification Vendor agrees to accept all responsibility for loss or damage to any person or entity, including the
County, and to indemnify, hold harmless, and release the County, including the Board of County
Commissioners, other elected officials, its officers, agents, and employees, from and against any and all
losses, penalties, damages, settlements, costs, charges, professional fees, or other expenses or liabilities of
every kind and character arising directly or indirectly out of any resulting agreement and/or the
performance thereof. Vendor agrees to provide a complete defense for any claim or action brought against
the County based upon a claim relating to Vendor’s performance or obligations under this Agreement.
Vendor’s obligations under this Section apply whether or not there is concurrent negligence on the
County’s part, but to the extent required by law, excluding liability due to the County’s conduct. The
County shall have the right to select its legal counsel at Vendor’s expense, subject to Vendor’s approval,
which shall not be unreasonably withheld. This indemnification obligation is not limited in any way by
any limitation on the amount or type of damages or compensation payable to or for the Vendor or its
agents under workers' compensation acts, disability benefits acts, or other employee benefit acts.
D.10 Dispute Resolution The parties agree to notify each other within fifteen (15) business days of becoming aware of a dispute
under this Agreement (“Dispute Notice Date”).
D.10.1 The parties further agree that, before resorting to any formal dispute resolution process, they will
first engage in good faith negotiations in an effort to find a solution that serves their respective
and mutual interests. Party principals agree to participate directly in these negotiations. Unless
otherwise agreed in writing, the parties shall have fifteen (15) business days from the Dispute
Notice Date to begin these negotiations, and thirty (30) days from the Dispute Notice Date to
PAGE 26 OF 44
complete these negotiations. To the extent allowed by applicable law, all such negotiations will
be deemed confidential settlement discussions not subject to disclosure under Federal Rule of
Civil Procedure 408 and/or any similar applicable state rule.
D.10.2 In the event the parties fail to resolve the dispute as set forth above, the parties may, by mutual
agreement, refer the dispute to non-binding mediation, or either party may assert its other rights
and remedies under this Agreement in the Eleventh Judicial District Court, San Juan County,
New Mexico.
D.11 Non-appropriation of Funds The complete installation of system is contingent on budgetary funding from the annual County budget.
Funding may be allocated in phases over several fiscal years. In the event sufficient funds are not
appropriated for the payments required to be made under the Agreement in future fiscal years, the County
has exhausted all funds legally available for payments to become due under this Agreement, funds which
have been appropriated for purposes of this Agreement are withheld and are not made available to
County, or an appropriation of funds for the next fiscal years has been made for purposes of this
Agreement, but prior to actual release, such appropriation has been withdrawn then the County at its sole
discretion may terminate the Agreement at the end of the then current fiscal year, as the case may be
without penalty or additional expense of any kind whatsoever. If non-appropriation occurs, the County
agrees to deliver written notice to the vendor of such early termination at least 30 days prior to the end of
the then current fiscal year.
D.11.1 Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, this Non-appropriation provision
