LSA Salary Program System

The University of Michigan (“University”) seeks proposals from qualified and experienced suppliers to implement a new salary program system that provides a better user experience, allow for more efficient system administration and maintenance, and support a more effective university resource. Via this project and exploration of vendor products, we expect to identify a solution that preserves the core functionality, and/or extends functionality beyond the current system offering. The University of Michigan (“University”) is not liable in any manner or to any extent for any cost or expense incurred by the supplier in the preparation, submission, presentation or any other action connected with proposing or otherwise responding to this RFP. Such exemption from liability applies whether such costs are incurred directly by the supplier or indirectly through the supplier’s agents, employees, assigns or others, whether related or not to the supplier. In submitting a proposal, Supplier agrees that all materials associated with, attached to, or referenced by the submitted proposal will become the property of the University and may be incorporated into a subsequent contractual agreement between the successful supplier and the University in an order of precedence as follows: (1) Contract Terms and Conditions; (2) Statement of Work; and (3) RFP. The University expects to enter into an agreement with the successful supplier for a three (3) year period with an option to extend for an additional one year period for two years as mutually agreed upon between the University and the supplier. Response to this RFP confirms an understanding that this is not a contract or offer of business by the University. The University’s standard terms and conditions will apply to the contract as a result of this RFP, and are included as an attachment.
