Procurement Exemption for Professional Services for Proprietary Infor Software
Solicitation # 2026-PE-200
Pierce County is conducting a sole-source procurement for professional services related to its proprietary Infor M3-based Civics Deploy sewer billing system under authority granted by Chapter 2.106 of the Pierce County Code, which permits non-competitive purchases when services are limited to a single source due to proprietary software restrictions. The contract, identified as solicitation number 2026-PE-200, is awarded exclusively to Infor Global Professional Services, the only entity licensed by Infor to provide configuration, consulting, project management, and architectural services for this platform. The estimated contract value is $338,830.22 with a maximum term of five years, and no competitive bidding is being accepted. Vendors must submit a capability statement through the OpenGov portal demonstrating their authorized Infor license and ability to deliver the required IT services, with submissions due by August 19, 2026. Evaluation is not based on cost or scoring but on a binary determination of whether the vendor can meet the County’s specific technical needs under the proprietary constraints. The place of performance is Pierce County, Washington, with all work centered on enhancing the existing sewer billing infrastructure using Infor’s proprietary systems. No formal line-item pricing, delivery schedules, FOB terms, or packaging specifications are provided. Acceptance criteria and inspection protocols are not defined in detail, with performance assessed primarily by the vendor’s pre-contractual qualifications and licensing status. The procurement is administratively managed by Pierce County’s Procurement and Contract Services, with Russell Wrigg listed as the primary point of contact and Eloise Pawlak and Jason Buckingham identified as the requestor and approving authority respectively. Neither a Contracting Officer’s Representative nor Procuring Contracting Officer is formally designated, and no accounting, invoicing, or payment office details are included. The vendor’s Unique Entity ID, CAGE code, size status, or socioeconomic certifications are not disclosed, and no additional reporting requirements are triggered. This transaction relies entirely on the legal exemption for sole-source procurement tied to exclusive software licensing, with no alternatives available in the market, thereby eliminating competition and standard procurement evaluation processes.

Ski Park Bridge
Solicitation # 2026-MPW-171
The solicitation for the Ski Park Bridge project, identified as 2026-MPW-171, is issued by Pierce County’s Procurement and Contract Services in Tacoma, Washington, with a response deadline of August 26, 2026. The project involves the replacement of the existing Foothills Trail bridge, designated PRT27195-E, and encompasses a comprehensive scope of construction activities including structure excavation, shaft construction, superstructure installation, permanent signing, traffic control, surveying, gravity block wall installation, and utility coordination. The estimated contract value is $1,452,000, composed of lump sum pricing for major components such as the superstructure at $470,000, temporary traffic control at $25,000, and various other line items for surveying, cleanup, safety contingencies, and environmental plans. Work must comply with the 2026 edition of WSDOT and APWA Standard Specifications, MUTCD, and Pierce County Standard Drawings, with strict tolerances for surveying accuracy and adherence to AASHTO and WAQTC testing standards for materials like hot mix asphalt and aggregate gradation. Quality control and inspection responsibilities rest with the contractor, though government representatives retain authority to verify compliance and require corrections at the project site. Contract administration requires submission of a Final Contract Voucher Certification for payment, with funds held under lump sum, progress payment, and retainage structures, although no specific accounting codes or electronic invoicing systems are mandated. Payments are processed through the Finance Procurement Office in Tacoma, with no explicit remittance details provided. Compliance obligations include certified payroll under state wage laws, use of the Unified Business Identifier (UBI) and FEIN for business verification, and mandatory OMWBE or WEBS certification reporting where applicable. Contractors must submit subcontractor listings with UBI and FEIN data, provide insurance naming Pierce County as an additional insured, and ensure all workers wear high-visibility apparel. Fabrication standards require galvanization per AASHTO-M-111 and official inspection tags for structural components, while geotechnical reports may become binding contract documents if selected. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the Pierce County portal or in a sealed envelope to the specified address by 1:00 p.m. on the due date, accompanied by required forms including a proposal bond, subcontractor list, and bidder questionnaire, with no specified page or word limits.
