Lincoln Blvd.Oklahoma City, OK 73105405-365-1964Phone NumberSheri.diehm@omes.ok.govE-Mail AddressDescription of Amendment:a. This is to incorporate the following:Question 1: I am attempting to access the State of Oklahoma Communities of Practice wiki site. Unfortunately, Ibelieve a previous colleague set-up an account, but I am not able to login. Who should I contact regarding obtainingaccess to the information for the RFP? I did complete the Practice Enrollment form. As a company, we are evaluatingthe project and want to make sure we have all of the details. The first question, I am working to understanding is whenpotential vendors should be submitting RFP questions?Answer: Please contact Marc Brown at OMES regarding your questions. His email is Marc.brown@omes.ok.gov. Youcan also contact the help desk at 405-522-2444.Question 2: We are struggling to find the VPAT OMES forms. Can you please to post them to the opportunity site orprovide a working link?Answer: Here is the link for VPAT information. https://www.ok.gov/DCS/Central Purchasing/VPAT & Accessibility.htmlQuestion 3: Ref. Section H.1. Implementation Costs includes line #10 for data migration, yet data migration is notdetailed in the RFP. Is this line a mistake?Answer:The language located in Section H.1. Implementation Costs, line #10, data migration is correct, and refers to the abilityof the proposed System to import data from data sources as mentioned in Section C.6.3.9. More specifically, theSupplier would possibly need to format and import a denormalized database file (e.g. SQL.bak file) or its output (e.g.Excel file); details of this procedure is not available at present and would largely be dependent on the capabilities of theSupplier of current Grants Management Solution used by OCAST, OKGrants.OMES FORM CP 011 – Purchasing Rev. 05/2016

Question 4: Ref. Section C.8 Implementation Plan describes a training plan. Is the requirement for an implementationplan, training plan or both?Answer:Both, please. Section C.8.1 is corrected and states as follows: "Supplier must provide an implementation (training)plan and describe the approach in detail. [ ]"Section C.8.2 is corrected and states as follows: "Supplier (Vendor) must provide a training plan and describe theapproach in detail using the following general formatting guidelines: [ ]"Question 5: Ref. Section H.1. Implementation Costs includes line #6 for CRM integration, yet CRM is not definedanywhere in the RFP. Is this a typo?Answer:Inclusion of line #6 for Customer Relationship Management (CRM) integration is not a mandatory requirement and istherefore optional; this is a value-added benefit /cost and may be considered in the review process if the functionality isavailable and determined to be cost-effective value-added benefit/cost. This cost is associated with Section C.6.3.6and provides information about System integration capability with other web-based platforms that may be utilized byOCAST either currently or potentially in the near future. The listing of web-based platforms in Section C.6.3.6 is nonexhaustive and includes at least one CRM-based solution.Section H.1, Table "Implementation Costs", Line #6, "CRM Integration" is corrected and states as follows: "#6Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Integration (Optional)"Question 6: Please provide a project timeline, including anticipated project start date and system go-live date, for theimplementation of the OCAST Grants Management System.

The interface between the two systems would involve an OCAST User acting as intermediary agent in its simplestimplementation, with the User exporting aggregated selected form data from multiple form instances as a single CSVfile from the System, and subsequently upload file to PeopleSoft. However, if the Supplier, in coordination with OMES,may identify more efficient and error-reducing interface/integration options between the System and PeopleSoft,consistent with the technical and functional requirements of the System, than this may be considered a value-addedbenefit/cost and shall be considered in the review process; this would need to be described in the submittedImplementation Plan.We may anticipate the need for interfacing and/or integrations with services such as Microsoft Office 365, Adobe CloudServices, Google Cloud, MailChimp, Salesforce, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Vimeo, Survey Monkey, Tableau andother related web-based platforms, if doing so is determined by OCAST as increasing the efficiency of OCAST grantsmanagement business processes and therefore offers substantial value-added benefit. Any Systems having potentialintegration capabilities with these or similar services, either at present or in the near future, may be considered a valueadded benefit /cost and shall be considered in the review process.Question 14: How many program administrators will need access to the system?
