The Agency seeks professional project management and consulting services for a multi-year modernization project to replace its Archon Registration and Titling System (ARTS). ARTS is a comprehensive on-premise software platform supporting driver licensing, vehicle services, business licensing, financial transactions, and motor carrier operations. While ARTS is central to Iowa DOT’s Motor Vehicle Division (MVD) and county treasurer operations, its limitations in efficiency, customer service, and adaptability highlight the need for a robust, modern solution. Iowa DOT’s MVD envisions a cloud-based, secure, and scalable system that enhances operational efficiencies, improves customer service, and integrates seamlessly with stakeholders, including county treasurers, dealerships, and financial institutions. The future system must provide comprehensive online services, advanced customer identity management, improved financial tracking, and greater automation while ensuring compliance with state and federal regulatory requirements and security standards. The intended solution provider is FAST Enterprises. Iowa DOT’s MVD’s modernization project is constrained by timeline, targeting project kickoff by July 1, 2025, and full launch of the driver’s license, vehicle services, and business licensing service in three years. In addition to project management services, the Iowa MVD modernization project will include third-party Independent Validation and Verification (IV&V).
