Meeting today with Jim B. Karen Anselmo, Barb Stoff, Kim Springer & Knute Jensen. Meeting was to check in on the needed OIT approvals and process going forward as Barb prepares the RFP document. Barb has the latest treasury template for the SOW, and will next submit a TIP when the RFP/SOW is more completely scoped. Knute requested a tactical plan # from Jim M. in order to put that into the TIP form. We clarified the SAR steps will follow from the TIP and eventual vendor submissions.

We also discussed the potential for leveraging common needs in parks and to add to the RFP must- or should-have elements for promoting, cross-selling and connecting with other agency technology and software such as with open APIs (the veterans API was one example).
