General Description of Requirement

This Request for Proposals (the “RFP”) provides an opportunity for interested proponents to submit proposals for review by the City and, depending on the City’s evaluation of proposals, among other factors, to potentially negotiate with the City to enter into a contract. EXCEPT WHERE EXPRESSLY STATED OTHERWISE IN APPENDIX 1 TO PART C OF THE RFP: (I) NO PART OF THE RFP CONSISTS OF AN OFFER BY THE CITY TO ENTER INTO ANY CONTRACTUAL RELATIONSHIP; AND (II) NO PART OF THE RFP IS LEGALLY BINDING ON THE CITY.

The RFP concerns the City’s interest in procuring a Weigh Scale Management and Point of Sale System. Details of the City’s objectives and requirements to which the RFP relates are set out in Part B of the RFP. The City welcomes proposals that are responsive to this RFP (“Proposals”) respecting innovative or novel approaches to the City’s objectives and requirements.

The City does not wish to procure a system which is under development as at the date of the issuance of this RFP; therefore, the Proponent’s Solution must:

-Currently be in full production (for a period of at least one (1) year); and
-Currently be utilized in at least three (3) organizations (exclusive of the City of Vancouver), government, or large private corporation where operational capacity is at least 900 transactions per day, per site, and preferably with more than one (1) site in the organization.

Proposals offering prototypes or items in test production, and/or systems not formally announced for commercial availability as of the date of issuance of this RFP, will not be considered for evaluation by the City.

Proponents shall refer to Annex 2 – Detailed Requirements Spreadsheet for any Mandatory requirements, and Minimum Criteria for Submission.
