Cloud Computing Product and Services

The City of Mesa issued a Request for Bid (RFB 2023077) to establish a multi‑year, indefinite‑delivery contract for cloud‑computing hardware, software, related products, and professional services. After a series of five addenda extending deadlines and revising price sheets, the City identified five vendors for award. The contract will run for an initial three‑year period with a possible two‑year renewal, requiring vendors to provide firm pricing, discounts off list prices, and to meet mandatory qualifications such as manufacturer authorization and local engineering staff. Payments are net‑30, and the City may apply a municipal TPT deduction to evaluated prices. • Scope includes new storage‑cloud hardware, software licenses, and associated consulting, installation, maintenance, and warranty services. • Vendor qualifications: authorized dealer status, full manufacturer warranties, and engineering resources located in the Phoenix metro area (though remote consulting may be considered). • Pricing must be submitted via a detailed price sheet showing unit prices, percentage discounts, and hourly rates; discounts must remain in effect for the life of the contract.
