Type and Scope of services to be performed:

Technology Services is the central information technology department for the City.  The agency provides technology infrastructure, development, support, and solutions to all City Departments, as well as management of 911 system communications and Denver’s 311 non-emergency contact center. Along with Denver Media Services and the Denver Marketing Office, the department is working to enhance the customer experience by aligning digital technologies with citywide marketing and communications efforts.

 

The Technology Services Department has recently worked with Purchasing on an RFP seeking firms highly experienced in providing qualified On-call Professional Information Technology Services staff for the purpose of augmenting City and County of Denver project staffing as needed.

 

The intent of the On-Call Professional Services RFP was to select and award a pool of available contractors able to provide a particular expertise.  Firms awarded a contract for specific on-call professional services will acquire work via detailed task orders, with deliverables that will be assigned with itemized dollar amounts.  Each task order will have a notice to proceed with authorizing signatures from both the City and County of Denver and the Contracted firm, which will allow funds to be encumbered by task order.  The Contracted firm will be responsible to ensure that all deliverables as defined in the Task Order are met for the professional service classification hired for each specific engagement/project. In response to the task order the Contracted firm will be required to provide the requested staff resource names and guaranteed costs per hour for the stated work. Team composition may vary depending on the scope of each task order.
