BD26-85 RFI for E-Permitting Software Solution

Project Description: The purpose of this RFI is to: obtain information, comments, or suggestions from potential vendors before issuing an invitation for bids or request for proposals; determine whether to issue an invitation for bids or a request for proposals; and generate interest in a potential invitation for bids or a request for proposals. Vendors should not contact the State regarding this RFI. All communication should be either by responding to this RFI or by submitting a question during the question and answer period. This RFI is not a procurement process and may not be used to make a purchase or enter into a contract. A procurement unit is required to use a standard procurement process, or comply with an exception to the requirement to use a standard procurement process described in Part 8, Exceptions to Procurement Requirements, in order to make a purchase or enter into a contract. A response to a request for information is not an offer and may not be accepted to form a binding contract. Information submitted to or by a governmental entity in response to a request for information is protected under Section 63G-2-305.
**NOTE: The first three (3) pages are an outline of the overall goal the solution should achieve; the last three (3) pages (pg. 4-6) are the RFI questions the agency desires answers to. You may respond to as many questions as you feel confident in your response to, and skip any that you do not feel comfortable answering.
**Please do NOT provide any costs, pricing, or estimates in your RFI responses.
