The City of Pasadena is exploring replacement options for its internally developed Public Records Act request management system. - Buyer: City of Pasadena, Information Technology Department. - Opportunity: An information-gathering RFI for a modern system to manage California Public Records Act (CPRA) requests. This RFI will not result in a contract award. - Requested solution: A public-records request management system supporting request intake and routing, department workflows, cross-department coordination, communications tracking, document management and large-file transfers, redaction and legal review, reporting and analytics, and fee and payment processing. - Notable areas of interest: CPRA deadline and extension tracking; accessibility aligned with WCAG 2.1 Level AA; security, privacy, role-based access, encryption, and audit logs; historical-data migration; retention and disposition; data portability; reliability and scalability; and configurable administration. AI-assisted features may be considered, with human oversight and appropriate controls. - Potential integrations: Microsoft 365, Microsoft Entra ID, SharePoint, Tyler Content Manager, payment platforms, and other repositories. These are preliminary interests, not confirmed mandatory requirements. - Pricing information requested: One-time setup and configuration (quantity 1), recurring annual costs (quantity 5), and optional features outside the stated scope (quantity 1). Pricing is indicative; the five annual-cost units do not establish a contract term. - Named company: OpenGov is identified only in connection with the e-procurement portal and its support, not as a proposed system provider. No PRA solution OEM or vendor is named in the opportunity.
