Section I. General Information Background Missouri State University is a public, comprehensive university system with a mission in public affairs, whose purpose is to develop educated persons while achieving five goals: democratizing society, incubating new ideas, imagining Missouri’s future, making Missouri’s future, and modeling ethical and effective behavior. The University’s identity is distinguished by its statewide mission in public affairs, requiring a campus-wide commitment to foster competence and responsibility in the common vocation of citizenship. The academic experience is grounded in a general education curriculum which draws heavily from the liberal arts and sciences. This foundation provides the basis for mastery of disciplinary and professional studies. It also provides essential forums in which students develop the capacity to make well-informed, independent critical judgments about the cultures, values, and institutions in society. The Missouri State University campuses are structured to address the special needs of the urban and rural populations they serve. Missouri State University-Springfield is a selective admissions, graduate level teaching and research institution. Missouri State University-West Plains is an open admissions campus serving seven counties in south central Missouri. Missouri State University-Mountain Grove serves Missouri’s fruit industry through operation of the State Fruit Experiment Station. For more information about Missouri State University, please view its website at www.missouristate.edu.

Nature of RFP Missouri State University is soliciting proposals to implement an applicant tracking, learning management, performance evaluation, or any combination of the three systems for faculty, staff, and student workforce. In addition, the current set of Human Resources systems do not allow for University unit’s to share information. It is the intent of Missouri State University to select a vendor to provide optional services to all campuses and allows sharing of data and aggregate reporting capabilities. Accordingly, the Evaluation and Selection Committee shall select the vendor(s) whose proposal(s) and oral presentation(s) if requested, demonstrate in their sole opinion, the clear capability to best fulfill the purposes of this RFP. The Office of Procurement Services reserves the right to accept or reject proposals, in whole or in part, and to negotiate separately as necessary in order to serve the best interests of Missouri State University. This RFP shall not obligate Missouri State University to award a contract or complete the proposed project and it reserves the right to cancel this RFP if it is considered to be in its best interest.

General Selection Criteria The vendor(s) selected for an award will be the vendor(s) whose proposal is deemed to be the most advantageous to Missouri State University. Missouri State University is not bound to accept the lowest priced proposal if that proposal is not complimented with the best quality system(s) and associated services as determined by The Office of Procurement Services in its sole discretion.

Selection Process The Office of Procurement Services reserves the right to name a date at which all responding vendors will be invited to present demonstrations or participate in an interview. Missouri State University does not agree to reach a decision by any certain date although it is hoped the evaluation and selection will be completed by the date identified in the Proposed Selection and Implementation Timeline section. A proposal may be rejected if it is determined that a vendor’s ability to work with the existing infrastructure will be too limited or difficult to manage.

Therefore, the contractor must have and maintain, at the contractor’s expense, adequate liability insurance to protect the University and the general public against any loss, damage and/or expense related to the contractor’s performance under the contract. The insurance coverage shall include, but need not be limited to, the following coverage in the amounts specified.

Written evidence of the required insurance coverage must be submitted before or upon award of the contract. Such policy (ies) shall name the Board of Governors of Missouri State University, its officers and employees, as additional named insured’s. In the event that the insurance coverage is canceled, the University must be notified immediately.

The contractor understands and agrees that the insurance required under the terms of the contract in no way precludes the contractor from carrying such other insurance as may be deemed necessary by the contractor for the operation of the contractor’s business or for the benefit of the contractor’s employees.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the contract to the contrary, no insurance procured by contractor shall be construed to constitute a waiver of any sovereign immunity as set forth in section 537.600 et seq., MO. REV. STAT., or any other governmental or official immunity, nor provide coverage for any liability or suit for damages which is barred under said doctrines of sovereign, governmental or official immunity available to the University, its Board of Governors, officers or employees, nor constitute waiver of any available defense; and neither shall such insurance provide coverage for any sums other than those which the University, its Board of Governors, officers or employees may be obligated to pay as damages. The

12

contractor shall cause all policies of insurance related to this RFP to be endorsed in accord with this subparagraph. The contractor shall further require the upper limits of coverage of such policies to be adjusted on an annual basis to be at least equal to the limits of liability set forth in section 537.610.2 and 537.610.5, MO. REV. STAT., as amended from time to time.

Errors and Omissions (E & O) Insurance: The vendor will be required to maintain insurance protecting it from claims the vendor may become legally obligated to pay resulting from any actual or alleged negligent act, error or omission related to the vendor’s professional services required under this contract.

$2,000,000.00 annual aggregate

The vendor will be required to submit certified financial statement providing evidence the vendor has adequate assets to cover any applicable E & O policy deductible.

The list should indicate the names of the entity, the relationship, and a discussion of the conflict.

Organizational Conflicts of Interest The responder warrants that, to the best of its knowledge and belief, and except as otherwise disclosed, there are no relevant facts or circumstances that could give rise to organizational conflicts of interest. An organizational conflict of interest exists when, because of existing or planned activities or because of relationships with other persons, a vendor is unable or potentially unable to render impartial assistance or advice, or the vendor’s objectivity in performing the contract work is or might be otherwise impaired, or the vendor has an unfair competitive advantage. The responder agrees that, if after award, an organizational conflict of interest is discovered, an immediate and full disclosure in writing must be made to Joe Herman, The Office of Procurement Services that must include a description of the action which the vendor has taken or proposes to take to avoid or mitigate such conflicts. If an organizational conflict of interest is determined to exist, Missouri State University may, at its discretion, cancel the contract. In the event the responder was aware of an organizational conflict of interest prior to the award of the contract and did not disclose the conflict to the contracting officer, Missouri State University may terminate the contract for default. The provisions of this clause must be included in all subcontracts for work to be performed similar to the service provided by the prime contractor, and the terms “contract,” “contractor,” and “contracting officer” modified appropriately to preserve Missouri State University’s rights.

13

IndemnificationThe contractor shall defend, indemnify, and hold the University harmless from and against all claims, losses, and liabilities arising out of personal injuries, including death, and damage to property which are incurred by any party as a result of services provided by the contractor pursuant to the contract.

Section 508 Voluntary Product Accessibility The vendor’s software should be compliant with Section 508 accessibility standards to the maximum extent possible. Completion of the attached template at Exhibit is required. The results will be considered and scored as part of Technical Components, Integration and Implementation..
