Description
The California Health Benefit Exchange (CalHEERS) solicited a consulting firm to provide comprehensive project‑management, business‑analysis, testing, and technical‑architecture oversight for the Design‑Development‑Implementation (DDI) of the state’s health‑eligibility exchange system. The award was made to First Data Government Solutions, which must staff 18 full‑time‑equivalent consultants (project managers, business analysts, and technical specialists) and deliver a suite of deliverables including communication plans, staff‑loading plans, monthly status reports, user‑acceptance testing documentation, and optional function‑point count reports. The contract runs for a 27‑month base period, with a possible 24‑month extension, and compensation is based on hourly rates submitted in the Cost Bid Form. The State retains the right to replace any individual consultant at any time and may terminate the agreement with 30‑day notice.
