The Charter Township of Van Buren is seeking Requests for Proposals (RFP) related to services for Disaster Recovery Business Continuity of Township Data Systems. We are looking for a solution based on a three year term with options for renewal after initial 3 year term expires.
The Township supports and maintains financial, public infrastructure, public Safety, and other critical data and services to the public. This includes Financial processing, permitting, and Public Safety applications among many others. These, along with related systems are mission critical components of Township operations, and operations are dependent upon its data processing systems that support these functions.
The critical nature of Township operations, and the risks that could result in impairment or loss of these operations requires that the Township maintain disaster recovery services and procedures. The Township intends to acquire disaster recovery services needed to provide immediate protection for its data center operations that integrates into a comprehensive disaster recovery plan around these services. In view of this, it is essential that the Contractor not only develop cost effective strategies for providing this protection but also provide for the flexibility to alter these services as technology changes and the Township evolves its disaster plan requirements.
