Please note: This is a Sole Source Notification. Transitional costs are a significant consideration in selecting a procurement item and the results of a cost-benefit analysis demonstrate that transitional costs are unreasonable or cost prohibitive, and that the award of a contract without engaging in a standard procurement process is in the best interest of the procurement unit. The district conducted an RFP for this software five years ago. The award went to Transfinder for their Routefinder Pro product along with implementation and training services for a term of five years. The district's contract will expire at the end of March 2024. The Transportation Department has provided the Purchasing Department with a request to extend the contract for an additional five years without competition due to the transitional costs associated with potentially moving to a new contract vendor. The Purchasing Department has reviewed the detailed cost-benefit anaylsis and agrees with the anaylsis that to transition would unreasonable and cost prohibitive. Additionally, the Transportation Department has requested to migrate service from the Pro licence to the Plus license to gain additional functionality. These costs were included in the anaylsis.
