Number of Grants Previousl Received: 9 Describe project, including scope, objectives, and description of records.) The Town of Southold is seeking the services of a consultant for the purpose of conducting a needs assessment analysiS of the open active permit records of the Town Building, Planning, Zoning Board of Appeals, Town Trustees, Code Enforcement, Historic Preservation, Land Preservation, Enginaering, and Assessors land management departments to examine the current business processes and workflow, and evaluate possible procedural and technological changes, and develop procedures and policies for the overall project. Stand-alone computers are currently being utilized that cannot read each other electronically and are creating inefficient distribution of and limited aacess to their information. In addition important closed permit and approval information is available in the Town's Laserfiche Records Management system but departments do not always take advantage of this data when reviewing open applications which can result in inconsistent approvals that violate past approvals and conditions. The assessment will include a feasibil~y study to evaluate implementing an electronic content management system integrated with the Town's existing Laserfiche Records Management system to improve the management of the Town's active property related records. This needs assessment will address records management issues by helping to: (1) make informed choices based on documented needs and ability to implement and maintain such technology; (2) identify system requirements for a specific technology; (3) address records management issues directly when designing new systems; (4) avoid costly mistakes; (5) Provide information and analysis to assist with the writing of a future fundable grant application in next years' 2008-2009 LGRMIF grant cycle.

Neville Southold Town Clerk RESULT: ADOPTED [UNANIMOUS] MOVER: Albert Krupski Jr., Councilman SECONDER: Vincent Orlando, Councilman AYES: Ruland, Orlando, Krupski Jr., Wickham, Evans ABSENT: Scott Russell 000003 TOWN OF SOUTHOLD REQUEST FOR QUOTATIONS FOR CONSULTING SERVICES FOR RECORDS MANAGEMENT NEEDS ASSESSMENT December 6, 2007 The Town of Southold is seeking quotations from qualified consultants to conduct a needs assessment for an electronic content management system (ECMS) for storage and retrieval of active property-related records maintained by the following departments of Town government: the Building Department, the Planning Board, the Zoning Board of Appeals, the Town Trustees, Code Enforcement, Historic Preservation, Land Preservation, Engineering, and the Assessor. In 2006, the Town conducted its own needs assessment, including in-depth interviews with knowledgeable persons in Town departments, for the proposed ECMS. The consultant will be expected to build upon and further develop that assessment. The purpose of this RFQ is to establish the budget for consulting services for this project. Pending approval of the project by the funding source, the Town expects to initiate procurement for consulting services sometime after August I, 2008. Consultants responding to this RFQ may be asked to re-validate their quotations at that time. At its option, the Town may issue a request for proposals prior to procurement. STATEMENT OF WORK Consulting services for this project will begin on or about August I, 2008. All work must be completed by January IS, 2009.

Keep in mind that the application narrative directly corresponds to the criteria which reviewers will follow when ranking your application. I. Statement of the Problem (maximum 20 points) a. Describe the specific records management problem the project will address, provide qualitative descriptions and quantitative data about the problem, and explain why the project is a high priority (10 points) b. Identify specific records that will be involved, and any previous grant-funded projects related to these records and this project. [5 points]For example, support a request for an imaging project with a description of how you use the records and an estimate of the time you would save if the records were available and searchable on your personal computer.) (5 points) c. Explain why funding from this grant program is essential to accomplishing the project. (For example, explain why you need funding if you've previously received funding for a similar ro'ect. 5 oints Narrative: 1.a. The specific records management problem that this project will address is coordination and communication among the town land management departments regarding their open active permits and applications. These are active records that are reviewed and updated constantly on a daily basis by many persons. The status of a permit application can change from one minute to the next on a daily basis. It is very important that all staff in these departments are made aware of each other's reports, inspections, and other circumstances as they occur and that all staff have easy access to any existing historical data related to the application available in the Town's Laserfiche Records Management system. Each department currently stores the information on their own stand alone computers that cannot New York State Archives Fonn LG-NA 9/2007 000006 read one another electronically. Therefore, each others information must be provided to one another verbally and on paper. There just is not enough time and staff to do this. These are all very busy offices with a constant flow of foot traffic and telephone calls from the public. The current business processes are providing a very inefficient distribution of information and limited access to information. Qualitative descriDtions and auantitative data about the Droblem (1) Applicants and/or their attorneys do not always present complete and uniform information on their applications. They sometimes give departments different versions of the required survey and approvals by other agencies. (2) In order to file for a Building Permit, the applicant must submit permits from other out-of- house agencies such as the NYSDEC., Corps of Army Engineers, NYSDOT. Often these permits are submitted that do not fully cover all aspects of the project. (3)Surveys and/or maps do not show current information and structures. Surveys that do not show wetlands or water on the property are presented when there actually are wetlands on the property. All current structures and accessory structures are often not shown on the survey. (4) There are open outstanding violations on the property that all departments are not aware of. LG.NA (Sept 2006) 000007 (5) Permits are sometimes issued in error by other departments and agencies due to these inconsistencies. (6) Duplicate field inspections and other work is sometimes done by staff because one doesn't know what the other one has already done. (7) Inordinate amounts of time are wasted duplicating research on the same property by many departments and sometimes by staff in the same department. (8) Staff often has to travel distances by vehicle to obtain information from other departments. (9) The verbal exchange of information and the physical energy and time expended is all very time consuming and subject to human error. (10) Inspections are made by the code enforcement officer and the bay constable and reports sometimes not followed to completion. (11) Prior approvals and conditions such as scenic easements, covenants and restrictions and subdivision requirements are often overlooked when reviewing new applications resulting in contradictory approvals. There is no central depository such as a database for this information. It is feared that preserved land will be built upon in error or accessory buildings built in the incorrect areas and the land compromised. New York State Archives Fonn LG~NA 9/2007 000008 This oroiect is a hiah orioritv for the followina reasons: 1. The number of applications have greatly increased over the last several years. 2. Staff cannot be increased due to budget and space restrictions. 3. We are not a one campus Town Hall operation. In 2004 we outgrew the initial Town Hall and had to rent office space at a nearby bank for a town hall annex. 4. Four years later there is no room for expansion in either one of these buildings and no additional office space is available locally. There is no other available office space for expansion. Furthermore, there is no money in the town budget to undertake any further expansion of office space or to hire additional employees. Analyzing our current processes and technology in order to develop and implement more efficient processes and systems will be more cost effective and allow us to use existing staff and office resources. 5. It is necessary to facilitate this group process to be able to better serve our clientele. The inconvenience to the public of having to travel back and forth between the two buildings is a great burden on them. The buildings are located approximately one quarter of a mile apart and they often have to go back and forth several times because of the inefficiency of the sharing of information. 7. In accordance with the recommendations of the grant reviewers in the 2007-2008 grant LG-NA (Sept 2006) - O{)0009 cycle, we are asking for funding for an outside consultant to perform this needs assessment to analyze and identify our current records keeping problems, evaluate possible procedural and technological changes, and recommend the best solution to our problems. 1.b.

Previous grant-funded projects relating to these records and this project are as follows: The town has not previously received any funding for a needs assessment of any type. (1) Imaging project was partially grant-funded. The state awarded funds for a wide scale scanner for the Town funded imaging project in which the Laser Fiche Digital Imaging System was installed. This system deals with the completed closed files after the permits are granted and the files closed they are scanned and indexed into Laserfiche then sent to inactive storage. (2) Microfilming Project was partially funded. The state awarded funds for the Archive Writer microfilm machine. The town funded the purchase of film and developing, maintenance. all supplies and staff for this project. Again, this project deals with the completed closed files after the permits are granted. The scanned images in Laserfiche LG-NA (Sept 2006) 000013 are set-up for microfilming on the Archive Writer. Both of these projects dealing with permanent inactive records were extremely successful and greatly enhanced the records management structure of the Town of Southold. Now, we must develop a solution to manage our daily active open records more efficiently by allowing the sharing of these records as they are created in their active phase by all pertinent town departments, staff and the general public. 1c. Reason funding from this grant is needed. The Town does not have the funds necessary to engage the services of a qualified consultant to perform an outside needs assessment They are on an austerity budget and pledge to taxpayers to keep the increase in taxes to a certain percent each year. The tax increase covers only the cost of living raises to union employees. It was strongly recommended by the grant reviewers in last year's grant cycle that the town obtain an independent needs assessment and systems specifications before implementing a new lands records management system. In accordance with their request, application is being made in this 2008-2009 grant cycle to fund the cost of an outside independent consultant to perform this needs assessment. New York State Archives Fonn LG-NA 9/2007 1I00014 II. Intended Results (maximum 10 points) a. Identify each intended result (specific products, time and cost savings, or services), and describe the anticipated benefits. (5 points) b. Describe in detail how the project will contribute to the development of a records management program. (5 points) Narrative: II. a. Intended Results The proposed project will address the problems discussed above. Upon completion of the project, the Town will have: 1. A comprehensive survey and assessment of business processes associated with property-related records maintained by 9 Town departments, with special attention given to the interrelationship of these records. 2. A definitive determination of the Town's recommendations for an electronic content management system for property-related records. 3. A feasibility analysis with cost estimates for an electronic content management system for property-related records. 4. Complete technical specifications, which the Town can use to evaluate electronic content management products and select a system that meets its needs. 5. A detailed implementation plan for an electronic content management system. 6. Once the needs assessment is completed and we are able to implement it, the LG-NA (Sept 2006) U00015 following benefits will be derived from it: · Elimination of paper. · Elimination of inconsistent and contradictory approvals. · Reduction in the amount of time to provide information to departments in local govemment and outside agencies. · Reduce the amount of money it takes to complete processes. · Recommendations of Policies and procedures that will be needed to make the new technology work better for us. II. b. Contributes to the development of a records management program. · Ensures the best use of your current resources for managing records. · Enables you to develop a new record keeping system to address the problems that you wish to solve. · Enables you to address records management issues directly when designing new systems. · Provides information and analysis to help write fund able grant applications in the future thereby furthering the development and enhancement of your records management program. · Helps to avoid costly mistakes. III. Plan of Work (maximum 30 points) a. Provide a detailed outline of the proposed work activities and a timetable that shows when each phase of the project will be completed, demonstrates the soundness of the method proposed, and demonstrates the project's goals are attainable by 30 June 2009. (15 points) b. Address each of the requirements of the relevant project category and subcategory. (5 points) New York State Archives Form LG-NA 912007 000016 c. Explain who will be responsible for performing each project activity, including project management. Indicate the qualifications of key project staff (including consultants and vendors) in terms of education, training, and experience. (5 points) d. III. a. Proposed Work Activities and timetable... Consultant will perform the following tasks: 1. Familiarize himself with the missions and record-related business processes in the town departments covered by the needs assessment. These departments include the Building Department, Planning Board, Zoning Board of Appeals, Town Trustees, Code Enforcement, Historic Presrevation, Land Preservation, Engineering and the Assessors. 2. Study the work that has been done to date, especially the transcripts of interviews with the town departments. 3. Conduct additional interviews and site visits, as necessary, to clarify specific points and obtain additional information. 4. Prepare a needs assessment that will explain the purpose of the project, describe existing business processes in the departments covered by the assessment, evaluate the existing business processes, and prepare recommendations for improvement, emphasizing the needs for an electronic content management system for the town's property-related records. The town plans to use the needs assessment report as the basis for a grant from the Local Government Records Management Improvement Fund for acquisition and implementation of an electronic content management system. The Town expects to apply for this funding in the 2009-2010 grant cycle, for which applications are due by February I, 2009. LG-NA (Sept 2006) G00017 5. Prepare specifications, cost estimates, and an implementation timetable for the proposed electronic content management system. This information is to be incorporated into the needs assessment report. 6. Identify and advise about software developers that offer electronic content management products that are compatible with the Town's requirements as defined by the needs assessment. 7. Develop a detailed RFQ that can be used by the Town to solicit quotes from software developers for the purposes of submitting a new grant application. Timetable: 1. Contract with consultant by September I 2. Interviews and site visits completed by November 30 3. Draft report submitted to town by December 15 4. Comments to consultant by January 6 5. Final report prepared by January 15 The town is confident that the proposed project is of manageable scope, that it can be completed on schedule, and that it will have a successful outcome. To carry out the project, the Town is requesting grant support in the amount of $18,000. The requested funds will be used for consulting services. A preliminary decision has been made to go with William Saffady for the following reasons: · Mr. Saffady appears to be the most qualified, best suited consultant for our purposes. · He has performed work in the area before that was evaluated first hand by the RMO who supports and agrees with his work processes.. · In speaking with the vendors, he appears to be the one that provided the most detail in terms of New York State Archives Fonn LG-NA 9/2007 000018 how he approaches and looks at a project and how he processes the information in a thorough manner. . Another added plus is the fact that he is locally situated on Long Island. This will provide greater accessibility and facilitate transportation. A preliminary informal RFQ was sent out in August 2007 to the consultants listed on the NYS Archives website and many negative responses were received from the majority of the consultants due to their geographical locations and travel distance. III. b. Requirements of relevant project category and subcategory 1. Current business processes: . Currently the town departments utilize stand alone computers that cannot read each other electronically. This creates a knowledge management problem. Staff from the various departments must verbally speak to one another and make duplicate copies of all paperwork as the application progresses on a daily basis. · An application for a building permit for a single family dwelling must be accompanied by all of the necessary approvals from other departments as well as outside jurisdiction. Applicants may come into the Building Department and ask for a sit-down to determine what other agencies they are within the jurisdiction of so that they may go out and get all of the required approvals you need to come back to the Building Department and file the Building Permit application. They need the actual approval from these other agencies, not just proof that they applied. They are given a checklist to complete and provide all of the pertinent information on. Only then are they LG-NA (Sept 2006) (;00019 considered to have a complete application and get a building permit number assigned. In order for an applicant to go to the Planning Board, Zoning Board of Appeals, Trustees, Land Preservation, or Engineering they must first go to the Building Department and go through this process. The Building Department then refers the application, by means of an internal form, to the Planning Board or Zoning Board of Appeals, Trustees, and whatever other departments necessary to start the process. After they receive the approval from these other departments or boards, they go back to the Building Department and are then considered to have a full application that the Building Department can act upon and base their approval upon. This is a very onerous process. Staff must photocopy numerous copies for the various boards and walk back and forth. At times, it becomes very difficult for departments to determine the actual status of an application due to the current business processes. The Building Department must go to the Assessors Office for property record cards and deeds, and often input or help with reading a title search. The property record cards also have a history of building permits listed on them. They are in constant contact with the Assessors during the whole process. 2. Problems due to inefficient and inconsistent orocessina of information in dealina .with hiah foot traffic and lack of soace. . This creates a monumental workload and places a great burden on the staff in every department. There is a huge amount of foot traffic and telephone calls received in each department on a daily basis. New York State Archives Fonn LG-NA 9/2007 000020 . Currently, all the department heads are asking for extra staff to handle the work. The cost for a clerk or clerk-typist is a minimal $35,000. (salary+benefits); an administrative assistant or site plan reviewer can range from $40,000. to $50,000. Multiply these figures times 9 departments: Building Department, Planning Board; Zoning Board of Appeals; Trustees (wetlands); Code Enforcement; Historic Preservation; Land Preservation; Engineering; Assessors. The figure could easily reach well over $300,000. to $400,000. just for salaries. . But the subject is really mute because there would be absolutely no space to locate these additional employees in Town Hall or the Town Hall Annex (at the local bank) or money in the town budget to pay for further expansion or additional employees. 3. Business Process Analvsis/Assessment will address records manaaement issues bv helping to: . Develop new and improved business processes and procedure before implementing a new technology solution. . Make informed technology choices based on documented needs and ability to implement and maintain such technology. . Avoid costly mistakes. . Address records management issues directly when designing new systems. LG-NA (Sept 2006) U00021 . Provide information and analysis to help write future fundable grant applications. Records Manaaement focus: The project has a very important records management focus and future records management needs relating to retention and security issues and preservation of electronic records. Policies and procedures to address these needs will be added to the Towns Records Management Policies and Procedures Manual which is being updated. III. c. Responsible parties for performing each project activity. 1. The consultant William Saffady will be responsible for the development of the needs assessment and provide all consulting services himself. Qualifications attached. 2. Town Clerk/RMO will provide in-kind services of staff time and project management and will organize schedules and department meetings and provide whatever is necessary in order to meet the needs of the vendor/consultant. Qualifications attached. 3. IT Department will assist the vendor/consultant with staff time, input, information and whatever is necessary to meet the needs of the vendor/consultant. Qualifications attached. 4. Departments & Staff were very cooperative during interviews and excited about improving their business processes and work flow and pledged their support for the New York State Archives Fonn LG-NA 9/2007 000022 project. III. d. Why one solution was preferred over another. 1. The outside consultant/vendor was preferred over the in-house needs assessment because the grant reviewers in the 2007-2008 grant cycle strongly recommended an independent needs assessment and system specifications by an outside consultant. 2. The Town is aware that an Electronic Content Management System is a huge undertaking. Our project team (RMO, IT personnel, town departments heads and staff) is very qualified and talented and has the internal knowledge of the Town. Engaging the services of an experienced highly qualified records management consultant with expertise in the field of electronic documents management to work together with the Town Project Team, and involving town departments heads and staff at the onset of the planning stages will help to make informed decisions on changes in business process and ensure the best record keeping product choices and successful implementation in the long run. IV. Local Government Support for Records Management (maximum 10 points) It is important to demonstrate your commitment to records management. Types of support may include government funds, staffing, equipment, supplies, or the allocation of space. Provide specific budget amounts whenever possible. Include information only on the support your local government provided and will provide with its own funds. Projects completely funded by the LGRMIF do not constitute local support. a.

MEDIA TRAO Live Video Meetings www.townclerk.com (;00027 Accomplishments since taking office in 1998: BAS Town Clerk Cash Receiotine: com outer software oroe:ram. I was responsible for the procuring and installation of this program for the receipt of all monies received by the Town Clerk's Office. The Town Clerk's Office receives all monies from all town departments, with the exception of the Tax Receiver and Trustees who receive and receipt their own departments monies. Prior to this, all receipts were handwritten and placed in one cash drawer. Each clerk in my office now has their own cash drawer and is responsible for the receipt and reconciliation of all monies received by them during the course of the day. All monies received by my office are deposited on a daily basis LASERFICHE Dilrltal Imae:ine: Svstem. I orchestrated the procurement and installation of the Laserfiche Digital Imaging System. Records and documents are fed into a scanning machine which digitally images them into the computer system, then a template with identifying information is created which enables you to search for the information by entering some key information such as name, subject, date, etc. within a matter of seconds you are able to print a copy of the document. This system has revolutionized the issuance of building permits and processing of FOIL request. All ofthe Town Board, ZBA, planning Board, Trustee minutes, permits and records have been scanned into the system and are now available at our finger tips rather than going down into the basement and searching through boxes. In 1998 I attended the NYSTCA annual meeting at Saratoga Springs upstate New York. One of the many presentations I attended was a demonstration of this system. I was so impressed by it that after the demo I spoke to the CEO of the company Nien Ling Wacker. The company is based in California. She graciously offered to come to my town to give a demonstration to town officials and department heads. When she asked the name of my Town and I said "South old" she was greatly surprised. She is married to one of Bob and Ronnie Wacker's sons, and they often visit them in Cutchogue. A date was set-up and the demo was a great success. The Town Board supported the technology and due to the leadership of Councilman John Romanelli, it was accomplished. After much planning and budgetary allocations, the system was installed in July 2001. Since that time we have scanned in thousands and thousands of documents which are now available on the system and will continue to do so in the future to maintain this valuable infrastructure tool that has been put in place under my administration. There are two (2) public terminal available in the hallway at Town Hall, one by my office and one near the Building Department whereby the general pubic can search and retrieve the information they wish. Also, two (2) public terminals at the Town Hall Annex. The number of inquiries are automatically recorded on the system. In recent weeks, the number of inquiries have gone over 5,000 per week. I feel this is a means of providing efficient and timely professional service to my constituents of the Town of South old. My thanks to the members of the Town Technical team John Sepenoski and Lloyd Reisenberg for their endless assistance. MICROFILIMING was the next innovation to take place in the Southold Town Clerk's Office. The State Education Department New York State Archives awarded a LGRMIF grant in the amount of $48,317.00 for the purchase of an" Archive Writer" microfilm machine which captures the digital images from the Laserfiche system and microfilms them. In addition to the digital targets for resolution and density, we also have digital records management targets. Microfilming is very important for "Emergency Preparedness Planning" and the possible future need to restore town records should a disaster of any type destroy the town hall records and computers and servers. The archival quality microfilm that is bein2 created is stored in a undef2round vault. 000028 MINUTE TRAO Town Board Meetin2 Mana2ement Software Pr02ram - Documents, controls, and tracks distribution and approval of Town Board resolutions.

I received training for myself and staff to enable my office to become a Federal Passport Acceptance Agency. The reason I did this was to make it easier for town residents to apply for their passports so that they didn't have to travel to Riverhead or beyond to apply for them. We assist them with submitting the proper documentation and properly completing their applications, collecting the fees and then transmitting them by mail to the Passport Agency. DONATION OF OFFICE FURNITURE FOR TOWN HALL: Through an acquaintance of mine, I was able to obtain a large donation of used high quality office furniture and workstations for use throughout Town Hall and the Annex. The moving and installation of the furniture was made possible with the assistance and cooperation of the Public Works Department.

Neville. Southold Town Clerk Duties The Town Clerk is a elected position with a four (4) year term of office. I have been Town Clerk since January 1998. I have been elected to two (2) four terms of office. I am in the fourth year of my second term. However, I am not a new comer to Town Hall. I have worked for the Town of Southold since 1968. I started in the Building Department as secretary, also working as stenographer to the Planning Board and Zoning Board of Appeals. In 1975 I became Deputy Town Clerk. So, I guess that makes me one of the old timers at Town Hall. The office of municipal clerk is one of the oldest of public servants in local government, along with the tax collector. The profession dates back before biblical times when they were the early keepers of the archives. The title "Clerk" as we know it developed from the Latin clericus. During the Middle Ages, when scholarship and writing were limited to the clergy, clerk came to mean a scholar, one who could read and write and serve as a notary public, secretary, accountant, and recorder. In today's world, the duties of the Town Clerk have multiplied many times over. In addition, to Town Clerk, I also serve as Registrar of Vital Statistics, Marriage Officer, Records Management Officer and Freedom of Information Officer. I will briefly describe each of these offices and their duties and responsibilities. Town Clerk: The main title of Town Clerk encompasses some 100 + duties under state law. Some of the ones you may be more familiar with are the issuance of licenses and permits, such as dog licenses, marriage licenses and certifications, bingo and games of chance licenses, all types of hunting licenses, junk dealer licenses to name a few. Beach permits, shellfish permits, handicapped parking permits, fireworks permits, alarm system permits, peddling permits, soil removal permits, house trailer permits, tourist/trailer camp permits, yard sale permits, highway excavation permits, all scavenger waste district permits, all disposal area permits, sale of garbage bags, receipt of tipping fees from the disposal area, billing and receipt of rents from the Fishers Island Sewer District are but a few of the various licenses and permits issued in my office. As Records Management Officer, the Town Clerk is the custodian of all town records, books, and papers of all of the departments and offices in the town. The Town Clerk is responsible for the management, use, and preservation of all town records. I have been writing grants for the Town Clerks Office since the inception of the grants program in 1990 and have atrained over $200,000.00 in records management grants for the town. I was recently awarded Grant in the amount of$48,317.00 for microfilming. The Town Clerk is the recording officer for the Town Board and attends and records all meetings of the Town Board, prepares minutes, and certified resolutions, sends correspondence and notices. The Town Clerk also acts as the Freedom of Information Officer, or FOIL Officer providing copies of town records as requested. If the information is immediately located in the Town Clerk's Office, it is provided as soon as reasonably possible. Ifin another department, then it is transmitted by letter with a copy of the request to that department with the instructions that they must respond within five (5) business days with the record or an approximate date when the record can be made available. Under the law, we are required to provide copies of records that exist, not to create a record in order to reply to the request. The cost for copies of town records is $.25 per page. We receive many requests over the counter, by mail, and by fax and e- mail. U00031 The Town Clerk acts as the Registrar of Vital Statistics. All births and deaths which occur with in the boundaries of the Town of South old must have certificates filed in the Town Clerk's Office. The original copies of these must be filed with the NYS Dept. of Health by the Town Clerk. It is the duty of the clerk to provide certified copies when requested, for a fee. Marriage Licenses are all issued in the Town Clerk's Office. I am also appointed as a Marriage Officer, and perform marriage ceremonies, on occasion, by appointment, although the majority of them are performed by the Town Justices, and members of the clergy. Passport Acceptance Agency - accepts applications and documentation and transmits to the Passport Issuance Agency for issuance. Received training and Certificate of Designation from Passport Services in April 200 I.

He appears to be the most qualified, best suited consultant for our purposes due to his expertise in the field of electronic documents and electronic content management systems. 2. He has performed work in the area before that was evaluated first hand by the RMO who supports and agrees with his work processes. 3. In speaking with the vendors, he appears to be the one that provided the most detail in term of how he approaches and looks at a project and how he processes the information in a thorough and thoughtful manner. 4. Another added plus is the fact that he is situated in our local regional area on Long Island. This will provide greater accessibility and facilitate transportation.
