Dear Proposer:
The Berkeley Public Library is soliciting written proposals from qualified firms or individuals experienced in work with libraries and with technology planning to aid in the development and facilitation of a community-focused learning and discovery process resulting in the co-creation of a Library Technology Roadmap. The Roadmap will serve as a tool to guide the development of a suite of interconnected technology tools for the library organization to better serve the needs of both the library staff and the community.
As a Request for Proposal (RFP) this is not an invitation to bid and although price is very important, other factors will be taken into consideration.
The project scope, content of proposal, and vendor selection process are summarized in the RFP (attached). Proposals must be received no later than 2:00 pm, on Thursday, December 22, 2023. Proposals are to be sent via email with the “Berkeley Public Library Technology Roadmap” and Specification No. 24-11632-C clearly indicated in the subject line of the email. Please submit one (1) PDF of the proposal with the filename saved as, “Proposal Vendor Name - 24-11632-C Berkeley Public Library Technology Roadmap.” Corresponding pricing proposal shall be submitted as a separate document with the filename saved as, “Pricing Vendor Name - 24-11632-C Berkeley Public Library Technology Roadmap.”
Email Proposals to:
City of Berkeley
Finance Department/General Services Division
