The City of Capitola is seeking an automated and user-friendly legislative management system. The system should include agenda management workflow with approval processes, public access and search for agendas and supporting materials, and meeting minutes creation. It must integrate with the city's existing website. Support is required online and by telephone during business hours. Proposals are due by September 18, 2026. The current system sunsets in June 2027.
The city's current agenda management system will sunset in June 2027, so all onboarding to the new vendor must be 100% completed by that time. The proposal deadline is September 18, 2026.
Payments will be issued monthly as charges accrue, based on itemized invoices from the consultant. The total fee charged for the scope of work will not exceed the maximum price set forth in the agreement without specific, written advance authorization from the city.
The RFP does not explicitly state a warranty period for the software or services. However, the professional services agreement mentions that the consultant warrants they have an established trade and have complied with all applicable governmental licensing requirements.
The city will select a responsive, responsible consultant based on staff's judgment of best value, prioritizing vendor expertise, quality of proposed services or goods, extent to which vendors services meet the city's needs, cost, technical demonstration, and references.
Submittals should include a statement of qualifications demonstrating successful provision of agenda management systems to comparable public agencies, including examples of similar integrations with municipal websites and references to transitions with other service providers. A minimum of three projects within the past five years must be described.
The RFP does not explicitly detail penalties for non-performance. However, the professional services agreement states that if the city terminates the agreement due to the consultant failing to fulfill its duties, the city shall pay the consultant for all services performed and accepted up to the date of termination.
The deadline for submitting questions regarding the RFP is August 21, 2026, at 5:00 p. m.
The city reserves the right to reject any and all proposals, cancel all or part of this RFP, and waive any non-material irregularities or informalities. Proposals must be submitted by the deadline, and the city may request additional information or clarification.
