RFP 25-014 UPDATING THE COGTOOLS NETWORK EDITING AND MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE

Project Description: COGTools is an ArcGIS add-in, written in VB.NET, used for developing and maintaining transportation networks used in the COG/TPB Regional Travel Demand Forecasting Model. COGTools needs to be migrated from ArcGIS 10.8 to ArcGIS Pro. COGTools also needs to be migrated from VB.NET to a new programming language, such as C#. There are two alternatives for the migration:
• Alternative 1 – Direct Migration (ArcGIS 10.8 + VB.NET would be migrated directly to ArcGIS Pro + C#)
• Alternative 2 – Phased Migration (i.e., first, ArcGIS 10.8 + VB.NET would be migrated to ArcGIS Pro + VB.NET, and, then the vendor would conduct a subsequent migration to ArcGIS Pro + C#)
In their proposals, the contractor will propose cost estimates and timelines on both alternatives, explain their preferred approach with justification, and propose detailed steps to complete each of the four tasks that are detailed in this RFP.
Based on the contractor proposals, COG/TPB staff will decide which approach to take (Alternative 1 or Alternative 2).
Once the contract is awarded, the contractor will perform the two-part software migration (i.e., platform migration and programming language migration) using the selected alternative approach.
