002 Background Sample Clauses

002 Background. This is a Contract for a pre-qualified program providing application development services for Resident Mobile Applications (RMA) and mobile friendly web applications for the State of Michigan. Contractors must submit written proposals according to the instructions contained within this document, discussing how they will meet the specific requirements. The State has awarded multiple contracts to service providers who are able to provide services specified in this Contract. Service providers awarded contracts will be eligible to bid on Statements of Work (SOW) issued by the Department of Technology, Management & Budget (DTMB) Mobile Center of Excellence (MCOE). Contractors selected will be issued purchase orders for which the terms will be governed by this Contract and the SOW. The State of Michigan has adopted a “mobile first”, customer-centric strategy for public facing applications acquired or created by or for State agencies. To that end, the MCOE has been established by the DTMB to serve as the xxxxxxx and validator of standards for technology tools, security, user experience, branding, testing, and deployment of mobile application acquired or created by or for State agencies. Over the next four years, the State aims to double the number of online services to 500 while ensuring that all public facing applications are mobile friendly. Meeting this goal will require significantly more resources than those currently dedicated to mobile application development. As such, the MCOE will require assistance from external service providers with experience and skills in the development of Resident Mobile Applications (RMA) and mobile friendly web applications. The State’s objectives for the pool of prequalified mobile application development Contractors include: • Ability to rapidly develop and implement RMA and mobile friendly mobile applications using State of Michigan approved technologies • Consistent contract terms • Consistent selection criteria and screening process • Single point of contact for prequalified Contractors • Consistent billing practices Efficient and timely process to post SOWs, review Pre-qualified Contractor proposals, and award/issue Purchase Orders (PO)

002 Background. DTMB (formerly the Michigan Department of Information Technology (MDIT)) was created on October 14, 2001 to centralize and improve the management of state information technology investments. Among other enumerated items, DTMB is leading state efforts to re-engineer the State’s information technology infrastructure, and to coordinate development of common technology across the executive branch. As part of its integrated functions, DTMB assists state agencies in obtaining staff augmentation services. Agency supplemental staffing needs vary in terms of resources required; need dates, and length of assignment. The majority of the work assignments are in the Lansing, Michigan, area, although other work sites may be in the Detroit, Michigan, area, or other areas of the State of Michigan. The State of Michigan currently has three (3) methods to obtain staffing services, the Re: START Program, the Business Intelligence Program (BIP), as well as the fully competitive Request for Proposal (RFP). The Re:START program and the BIP, through a roster of more than 400 pre-qualified companies, provide annually approximately 175-260 staff at an estimated cost of $9-14M per year. However, due to the dynamic nature of projects within state government, the State cannot predict the number of personnel that will be required under this contract. Therefore, the State makes no guarantees, either stated or implied, about the demand for resources provided through this procurement. Although the VMS vendor will be the primary source, the State reserves the right to contract for personnel services from other sources if the project or assignment definition incorporates specific skill requirements and time constraints that cannot be met by the contractor under this contract or if other contracts and agreements provide a better value.

  • BACKGROUND AND INTRODUCTION The Federal-aid Highway Program (FAHP) is a federally-assisted program of State-selected projects. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the State Departments of Transportation have long worked as partners to deliver the FAHP in accordance with Federal requirements. In enacting 23 U.S.C. 106(c), as amended, Congress recognized the need to give the States more authority to carry out project responsibilities traditionally handled by FHWA. Congress also recognized the importance of a risk-based approach to FHWA oversight of the FAHP, establishing requirements in 23 U.S.C. 106(g). This Stewardship and Oversight (S&O) Agreement sets forth the agreement between the FHWA and the State of Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) on the roles and responsibilities of the FHWA and the State DOT with respect to Title 23 project approvals and related responsibilities, and FAHP oversight activities. The scope of FHWA responsibilities, and the legal authority for State DOT assumption of FHWA responsibilities, developed over time. The U.S. Secretary of Transportation delegated responsibility to the Administrator of the FHWA for the FAHP under Title 23 of the United States Code, and associated laws. (49 CFR 1.84 and 1.85) The following legislation further outlines FHWA’s responsibilities: • Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) of 1991; • Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) of 1998; • Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) of 2005; and • Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) of 2012 (P.L. 112-141). The FHWA may not assign or delegate its decision-making authority to a State Department of Transportation unless authorized by law. Xxxxxxx 000 xx Xxxxx 00, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Code (Section 106), authorizes the State to assume specific project approvals. For projects that receive funding under Title 23, U.S.C., and are on the National Highway System (NHS) including projects on the Interstate System, the State may assume the responsibilities of the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Transportation under Title 23 for design, plans, specifications, estimates, contract awards, and inspections with respect to the projects unless the Secretary determines that the assumption is not appropriate. (23 U.S.C. 106(c)(1)) For projects under Title 23, U.S.C. that are not on the NHS, the State shall assume the responsibilities for design, plans, specifications, estimates, contract awards, and inspections unless the State determines that such assumption is not appropriate. (23 U.S.C. 106(c)(2)) For all other project activities which do not fall within the specific project approvals listed in Section 106 or are not otherwise authorized by law, the FHWA may authorize a State DOT to perform work needed to reach the FHWA decision point, or to implement FHWA’s decision. However such decisions themselves are reserved to FHWA. The authority given to the State DOT under Section 106(c)(1) and (2) is limited to specific project approvals listed herein. Nothing listed herein is intended to include assumption of FHWA’s decision-making authority regarding Title 23, U.S.C. eligibility or Federal-aid participation determinations. The FHWA always must make the final eligibility and participation decisions for the Federal-aid Highway Program. Section 106(c)(3) requires FHWA and the State DOT to enter into an agreement relating to the extent to which the State DOT assumes project responsibilities. This Stewardship and Oversight Agreement (S&O Agreement), includes information on specific project approvals and related responsibilities, and provides the requirements for FHWA oversight of the FAHP (Oversight Program), as required by 23 U.S.C. 106(g).
