Enterprise Architecture Justification Paper – Individual Assignment
Purpose of this Assignment
This assignment gives you the opportunity to apply your critical thinking skills and understanding of the course concepts to explain how the enterprise architecture (EA) and/or the EA program benefits an organization. This assignment specifically addresses the following course outcomes:
· describe enterprise architecture (EA), the appropriate application of EA frameworks, and an overall ongoing EA program
· analyze and examine how enterprise architecture and enterprise systems influence, support, and enable an organization’s ability to contribute to strategic decision making and to respond and adapt to the business environment
· apply EA concepts to support business requirements and identify opportunities for enterprise solutions
Assignment
Using the DMV case study provided, determine how an EA could be used to help the DMV accomplish the objectives stated explicitly and implicitly in the case study. The organization discussed in the case study has many issues with its current environment and many changes that it wants to make. It has not established an EA program yet.
The purpose of your paper is to briefly explain what an EA program is, and then justify a recommendation to establish an EA program for the organization. The DMV has taken on the CSI Redesign initiative so this presents an opportunity to explore how EA can be a benefit. You need to orient this assignment to justify recommendations on how the DMV can benefit from implementing a more holistic (EA) solution. You can use the CSI redesign effort as a basis on which to build, but your recommendations for EA should scale sufficiently.
You should provide at least four specific examples from the case study to show how an EA program could be of benefit, and you should provide at least two examples of how EA specifically benefitted another organization in solving problems similar to ones in the case study. (NOTE: More than four examples are required to receive all possible points; see Grading Rubric below.) Your paper will be graded on both the accuracy and the strength of your justifications; it needs to make a strong and compelling case for establishing an EA program for the DMV.
Your paper should be 2-3 pages in length (not counting any cover sheet or reference pages). The use of at least two external scholarly resources (other than class materials) is required. (NOTE: More than two external resources are required to receive all possible points; see Grading Rubric below.) You should use scholarly journals (rather than Wikipedia and authorless website postings). If you need assistance with determining what a scholarly journal is, the UMUC library is a very good source of information, accessed via the following link:
http://www.umuc.edu/library/libhow/articles.cfm
. Remember to correctly cite and reference all sources using APA format.
Submit your paper in Word format via your Assignments Folder as an attached document with your last name included in the filename.

DMV Case Study
Purpose of this Assignment
(The information below is excerpted from the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles’ RFP
154:7-061, DMV CSI Systems Redesign Project, available from under Content>Course
Resources>DMV_CSI_RFP_083107_Final_Release. Corresponding page numbers from the
RFP are given in parentheses at the end of each lettered section heading.)
A. DMV Organizational Overview (p. 2)
The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is a governmental agency in the Executive Branch of
Virginia state government. Under the direction of the Secretary of Transportation, DMV
administers motor vehicle and tax related laws for the continued benefit of all citizens of the
Commonwealth of Virginia. Specifically, DMV administers motor vehicle titling and licensing
laws, driver’s licensing laws, transportation safety laws, tax laws, and other motor vehicle-
related laws and regulations as directed by the Code of Virginia and Federal laws, as amended.
DMV employs nearly 2000 full and part-time employees to meet its daily mission of providing
transportation services to customers in Virginia. These employees provide services via one
centralized administrative Headquarters located in Richmond, Virginia as well as 74 Customer
Service Centers (CSC’s) and 13 Motor Carrier Service Centers/Weigh Stations (MCSC’s)
dispersed throughout the state. In addition, some services are provided at more than 40 DMV
Select offices located throughout the state. DMV Selects are a service alternative to visiting a
full-service DMV Customer Service Center. Local governments and private entities contract with
DMV to provide secure, select DMV transactions at convenient locations.
DMV provides a multitude of services to private citizens, transportation entities, courts, law
enforcement agencies, government agencies, insurance companies, and related transportation
clients. The most commonly provided DMV services include:
Credentialing – This includes the provision of driver testing and licensing, vehicle
titling and registration, credentialing of commercial motor carriers, and regulatory
licensing functions such as fuel distributors, rental car companies, dealers,
commercial driver training schools, driver improvement clinics, and 3rd party
testers.
Tax processing – This includes support for the calculation, collection, accounting,
and reporting statistics for all tax filings (including IFTA, tax on fuel, and tax on
motor vehicle rentals) as well as support for an external/taxpayer audit function.
Oversight of related programs such as transportation safety and information
management
Due to the nature of DMV business processes, the type of work performed by the agency
requires substantial use of automated systems. It is imperative that the agency operate its
programs and facilities in an efficient manner, incorporating into its operation those
July 2014 2
technological developments and automated solutions that will enhance the delivery of services to
DMV’s various transportation clients.
B. The Opportunity (p. 1, pp. 2-3)
DMV has decided to undertake a systems redesign they are calling CSI:
Customer-centric
Service Oriented
State-of-the-art
Secure
Intelligent
…..CSI
The DMV CSI Systems Redesign project focuses on the fragmented processing of DMV’s core
business areas of credentialing, tax processing, and financial management. The purpose of the
CSI effort is to transform these fragmented and outdated systems into one modernized system
that is responsive to the ever-changing needs relating to internal security, homeland security,
legislative mandates, and customer relationship
management.
As we move forward with this endeavor, DMV has a unique opportunity to revolutionize the
agency’s approach to fulfilling its mission, carrying out core functions, and delivering service.
DMV intends to fully integrate processing while incorporating and leveraging the full
functionality and benefits of proposed technology solutions as well as the technology already in
place.
The scope of the DMV CSI Systems Redesign project is based on utilizing a fully integrated
system to serve and manage our customers, our contractual business partners, and our
stakeholders. The scope includes, but is not limited to credentialing, tax processing, and financial
management.
The CSI Redesign consists of the following components:
User interfaces for Headquarters, Weigh Station, and Customer Service Center
staff, DMV Selects, Internet, Touchtone, cyber sites, and selected business
partners (online dealers, Commissioners of the Revenue, insurance companies,
motor carrier companies, etc.)
Core business services
Infrastructure services to manage access rights, perform audit and system logging
functions, a business rules engine, a message broker to facilitate communication
between components and with external system interfaces, transaction suspense
capability, and a correspondence module.
Data stores, business intelligence to provide regular and ad hoc management
reports, audit reports and fraud alerts, and other applications, and
Interfaces to other systems, such as DMV’s Purchasing, Inventory, and Payables
System (PIPS), Department of Accounts (DOA), Treasury, Unified Carrier
July 2014 3
Register (UCR) repository, Centralized Accident Processing System (CAP),
Traffic Records Electronic Data System (TREDS) which will replace CAP,
Hauling Permits, Virginia Criminal Information Network (VCIN), DMV’s
Human Resource system, etc.
C. The Current Environment (pp. 6-7)
1. Overview of Existing Customer Service Center (CSC) Environment
Each CSC has the capability to house its own hardware and software supporting the
citizens of the Commonwealth utilizing server virtualization and operating system
streaming to reduce the support costs associated with distributed systems.
The main technologies utilized are based on Ardence Desktop Edition
(www.ardence.com) to stream the Windows operating system to the desktops. VMWare
ESX server is utilized to host virtual Windows 2003 based servers.
DMV CSCs are connected to the DMV HQ via T1 speed circuits. The HQ WAN
connections are enhanced by the use of F5 WANjet appliances. DMV CSC’s also have
frame relay circuits connecting them to the Virginia Information Technologies Agency
(VITA) data center for SNA Mainframe traffic only.
All servers in each branch must support being virtual servers. This allows DMV to
centrally manage and deploy servers without having to procure or replace server
hardware as systems are introduced, upgraded, or replaced. Servers can be deployed from
the central DMV support system utilizing the existing DMV Virtual Server Farm. DMV
has a pair of HP Proliant DL360s fiber connected to an HP MSA1000 SAN for Virtual
Machines. All connections to the SAN are through the DL360s and Virtual Servers. The
current storage capacity of the MSA1000 is approx 1TB of storage. Disk space can be
provided via Windows 2003 Virtual Servers.
All workstations have the operating system streamed (OSS) via Ardence Desktop
Edition. This allows DMV to centrally manage and update one system image for all
machines at the DMV CSCs. The internal hard disk on each workstation has been
deactivated as the operating system is streamed but can be enabled if necessary. Also,
Ardence Desktop Edition provides a full Windows XP Pro Operating system, not an XP
embedded or thin client OS. This allows any device with the proper drivers installed in
the master image to work on the DMV OSS Workstations. DMV has deployed HP
dc7600 slim line PC’s for the OSS Workstations.
User authentication, authorization, file and print, and group policies are provided locally
at each CSC via Virtual Windows 2003 Servers.
Each CSC presently has its own software to support the citizens of the Commonwealth
for driver licensing and vehicle registration utilizing CSCNet (Customer Service Center
Network) written in the Software AG language Natural, in a Unix environment.

2. Overview of Existing DMV HQ Computing Environment
At its Headquarters location, DMV operates a Novell v6.5 LAN.
Customer Service Center PC’s connect to the HQ LAN via the WAN. DMV PC’s operate
in either a Windows 2000 or XP Pro SP2 environment.
Novell GroupWise v7.x is used for e-mail. Netware for SAA is used for 3270 emulation
with the use of Powerterm to access CSS.
3. Overview of Existing Citizen Services System (CSS)
The CSS System is a mainframe application system running in the OS/390 environment
at VITA. DMV’s application programs are built using the Software AG products
ADABAS, Natural, and COMPLETE. CSS is DMV’s primary information system that is
used for storing information on customers, their addresses, their driver history, vehicle
registration and titling information, etc.
This system is accessed from the CSCs via a private Frame-Relay network, and from the
DMV Headquarters location via a private DS3 serial connection. CSS is also accessible
via the EAI layer described below via XML web services.
4. Overview of Current DMV Enterprise Application Infrastructure (EAI)
DMV’s current EAI is a service-based architecture utilizing a variety of techniques. The
preferred mechanism to interact to DMV’s EAI is via web services. DMV provides high-
availability services to the mainframe, databases, and a variety of other DMV systems.
Presently DMV utilizes Windows based servers as Presentation, Business Logic, and
Data Access servers. DMV Servers are secured based on current industry standards
provided by the NSA, SANS Institute, etc, as well as those published by VITA. Servers
are designed with standardization across all machines. DMV utilizes both physical and
virtual servers (VMWare ESX Server) based on need and activity.
Document and image management, storage, retrieval, and workflow services are provided
by Hyland Systems OnBase application.
DMV’s present enterprise database platform consists of a high-availability Oracle 10g
RAC 2 node cluster and a SQL Server 2005 failover cluster both utilizing fibre channel
storage.
The DMV Enterprise Application Infrastructure (DMV-EAI) is designed with security
and standardization as the core set of principles required to provide maximum uptime to
applications and customers.
July 2014 5
DMV’s present development environment for enterprise applications is based on the
Microsoft .NET development platform (VB.NET and C#).
5. Overview of Other Outlets
DMV has several outlets that utilize a combination of technologies defined above. These
outlets and systems provide core services to internal and external customers of DMV.
They are highlighted below and are not all-inclusive of all outlets, yet provide the
necessary sampling of technology implementation for reference purposes:
DMV Select: DMV Select allows selected business partners to provide core DMV
services to the citizens of the Commonwealth. They utilize a smart client application to
perform vehicle related transaction processing. Select offices utilize the public Internet
over a secure channel to access the core services available on CSS. The access is
provided by the EAI listed above to interact with CSS.
MCSC (Motor Carrier Service Center): The MCSC offices utilize a variety of
applications to perform their daily activities. They have access to CSCNet as well as
several intranet applications that interact with CSS via the EAI listed above. They utilize
a combination of smart client, intranet web applications and Powerterm to access CSS via
a 3270 client.
3rd Party Systems: DMV has several 3rd Party hosted systems that support various
business functions. Examples include ACS, Digimarc, etc. These systems utilize various
technology sets and platforms that interact with the core platforms identified above.
D. CSI Redesign Objectives (pp. 8-9)
1. Providing improved access to information through single sign-on and limiting access to
data, fields and values, screens, system processes to only authorized users, improving
user authentication, segmenting and tracking access based on user roles and
responsibilities (role-based security model capabilities), and creating a new ability for
users to generate ad hoc reports.
2. Enhancing security, customer ID verification, and fraud prevention by eliminating
duplicate customer records and creating a true single customer record, tracking patterns
of suspicious activity (customer and employee), producing automated exception reports
and creating systems alerts to potential safety, security, and risk management issues, and
restricting access based on user roles and responsibilities and accommodating multiple
authentications based on segregation of duties.
3. Automating audit requirements and oversight by tracking user activity in a standard
manner and creating a single data store.
4. Consolidating disparate applications by replacing multiple systems with a single
integrated data store, integrating multiple applications through core modules (such as user
interfaces, core business services, infrastructure related services, interfaces, etc.), and
providing a financial services component, as well as a tax processing component, with
enhanced tracking and netting capabilities.
July 2014 6
5. Improving efficiencies by incorporating best practices and re-engineering all processes
within the project scope (at a detailed level as part of developing a detailed system design
during the detailed design forum).
6. Implementing a customer-centric model that effectively supports customer relationship
management.
7. Increasing alternative service channel usage by allowing most transactions to be offered
through multiple channels.
8. Migrating toward electronic credentials to provide the type of controlled access needed
for authorized entities to verify the existence of electronic credentials, including
photographic or other images as may be required.
9. Accommodating interoperability and integration with business partners by providing a
consistent method to interface with business partners and a consistent message format for
exchanging data as well as creating the ability to effectively manage business partner
contracts and billing electronically.
10. Providing an integrated financial component, including integration of the agency’s ERP
(Oracle Financials), to facilitate a complete financial view of the customer (refunds due,
additional fees due, etc.) as well as an enhanced ability to allocate revenues to appropriate
accounts.
E. Future State Business Process Model (pp. 14-18)
July 2014 7
Each of the seven process areas identified in the CSI Future State Business Process Model are
described below, including the business functions supported by each as well as the
products/services provided. Please note that these processes and business functions are not listed
in priority order.
1. Service Delivery
Service delivery supports all DMV access channels to provide a 360-degree view
of a DMV customer by collecting all relevant data. All customer (including
business partners, stakeholders, etc.) and employee contact and activity must enter
and exit through this process. Service Delivery will coordinate all support
functions of the contact activity including the ability to support a shopping cart
concept for multiple transactions, payment processing and netting, inventory
processing, and release of the final product.
July 2014 8
2. Credentialing
The credentialing process rolls the credentialing functions of driver, vehicle,
motor carrier, and regulatory licensing functions such as fuel distributors, rental
car companies, dealers, commercial driver training schools, driver improvement
clinics, and 3rd party testers into one, all inclusive process. A credential can be
issued, updated, or renewed, a privilege reinstated or taken away, and compliance
to requirements is monitored. A credential would also include the creation of
PINs, Use Agreements, and any other DMV product or service requiring formal
authorization or approval.
3. Tax Processing
Tax Processing manages the processing of tax returns and posting the tax payment
as well as taxpayer audit support functions.
4. Financial Management Services
Financial Management Services handles reconciliation and distribution of revenue
of all payments from DMV transactions as well as grant and contract
administration.
5. Inventory Management
Inventory Management tracks the consignment of controlled inventory and assets.
6. Business Intelligence
Business Intelligence will provide the ability for retrieving and reporting
information on DMV data. There will be the ability to compile data in such a
manner that will be meaningful to the end user (including decision makers at
DMV, external entities, etc.). This will include key performance indicators such
as customer wait time and cost per transaction. Once the data is presented, there
will be a decision support tool to assist DMV managers so that various
alternatives can be compared. BI will also support automated and ad hoc reports
(e.g., enabled by Use Agreements) and assist in identifying fraud through periodic
audits.
7. Administer Infrastructure
Administer Infrastructure will give DMV the necessary flexibility for business
users to be able to change their workflow and business rules as needed.
Additionally, DMV staff with the appropriate roles and permissions will be able
to control system credentials, access, and data management roles such as PINs
and Service Agreements. This module also supports the call center help desk and
mail processing.

II. BACKGROUND INFORMATION
A. DMV ORGANIZATIONAL OVERVIEW
The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is a governmental agency in the Executive Branch of Virginia state
government. Under the direction of the Secretary of Transportation, DMV administers motor vehicle and tax
related laws for the continued benefit of all citizens of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Specifically, DMV
administers motor vehicle titling and licensing laws, driver’s licensing laws, transportation safety laws, tax laws,
and other motor vehicle-related laws and regulations as directed by the Code of Virginia and Federal laws, as
amended.
DMV employs nearly 2000 full and part-time employees to meet its daily mission of providing transportation
services to customers in Virginia. These employees provide services via one centralized administrative
Headquarters located in Richmond, Virginia as well as 74 Customer Service Centers (CSC’s) and 13 Motor
Carrier Service Centers/Weigh Stations (MCSC’s) dispersed throughout the state. In addition, some services
are provided at more than 40 DMV Select offices located throughout the state. DMV Selects are a service
alternative to visiting a full-service DMV Customer Service Center. Local governments and private entities
contract with DMV to provide secure, select DMV transactions at convenient locations.
DMV provides a multitude of services to private citizens, transportation entities, courts, law enforcement
agencies, government agencies, insurance companies, and related transportation clients. The most commonly
provided DMV services include:
Credentialing – This includes the provision of driver testing and licensing, vehicle titling and registration,
credentialing of commercial motor carriers, and regulatory licensing functions such as fuel distributors,
rental car companies, dealers, commercial driver training schools, driver improvement clinics, and
3rd party testers.
Tax processing – This includes support for the calculation, collection, accounting, and reporting
statistics for all tax filings (including IFTA, tax on fuel, and tax on motor vehicle rentals) as well as
support for an external/taxpayer audit function.
Oversight of related programs such as transportation safety and information management
Due to the nature of DMV business processes, the type of work performed by the agency requires substantial
use of automated systems. It is imperative that the agency operate its programs and facilities in an efficient
manner, incorporating into its operation those technological developments and automated solutions that will
enhance the delivery of services to DMV’s various transportation clients.
B. CSI SCOPE
The DMV CSI Systems Redesign project focuses on the fragmented processing of DMV’s core business
areas of credentialing, tax processing, and financial management. The purpose of the CSI effort is to
transform these fragmented and outdated systems into one modernized system that is responsive to the
ever-changing needs relating to internal security, homeland security, legislative mandates, and customer
relationship management.
As we move forward with this endeavor, DMV has a unique opportunity to revolutionize the agency’s
approach to fulfilling its mission, carrying out core functions, and delivering service. DMV intends to fully
integrate processing while incorporating and leveraging the full functionality and benefits of proposed
technology solutions as well as the technology already in place.

The scope of the DMV CSI Systems Redesign project is based on utilizing a fully integrated system to serve
and manage our customers, our contractual business partners, and our stakeholders. The scope includes,
but is not limited to credentialing, tax processing, and financial management.
C. CSI ASSUMPTIONS
In defining the scope of DMV’s CSI initiative, the decisions made by DMV’s executive management team
were based on the following assumptions:
1. DMV’s current processes will be reviewed and re-engineered at a high level prior to writing the RFP and
at a detailed level prior to developing a detailed system design.
2. The new system will consist of the following components:
User interfaces for Headquarters, Weigh Station, and Customer Service Center staff, DMV Selects,
Internet, Touchtone, cyber sites, and selected business partners (online dealers, Commissioners of
the Revenue, insurance companies, motor carrier companies, etc.)
Core business services
Infrastructure services to manage access rights, perform audit and system logging functions, a
business rules engine, a message broker to facilitate communication between components and with
external system interfaces, transaction suspense capability, and a correspondence module.
Data stores, business intelligence to provide regular and ad hoc management reports, audit reports
and fraud alerts, and other applications, and
Interfaces to other systems, such as DMV’s Purchasing, Inventory, and Payables System (PIPS),
Department of Accounts (DOA), Treasury, Unified Carrier Register (UCR) repository, Centralized
Accident Processing System (CAP), Traffic Records Electronic Data System (TREDS) which will
replace CAP, Hauling Permits, Virginia Criminal Information Network (VCIN), DMV’s Human
Resource system, etc. (See Figure 2, Conceptual CSI Solution Model on page 21)
3. A customer-centric design will be used to effectively support customer relationship management.
4. The CSI solution will be a simple, highly efficient design utilizing open standards (ODBC, XML, etc.) that
support a service-oriented architecture with built-in redundancy.
D. CSI PROJECT APPROACH
The DMV CSI Systems Redesign project consists of three phases:
Phase 1: Project Initiation, Business Requirements, and High-Level Business Process Re-engineering
Phase 2: Automated Solution Procurement and Detailed Business Process Re-engineering
Phase 3: Detailed Design Forum, Phased Systems Development, and Phased Implementation
In October, 2006, DMV hired a re-engineering Contractor (CACI) to provide support to the DMV CSI Systems
Redesign project as defined below. The re-engineering Contractor (and their sub-contractors) hired for the
re-engineering effort is not eligible to participate in the procurement process for the CSI solution being
procured in this RFP.
1. CSI Phase 1 Approach
During Phase 1, the re-engineering Contractor led DMV focus groups through a methodical process to
validate our vision and strategic objectives, establish guiding principles, and document high level

business requirements for all components identified within the scope of the DMV CSI Systems Redesign
project.
To create executive buy-in, focus groups consisting of Assistant Commissioners and Directors of cross-
functional core business areas were led by the re-engineering Contractor through a process to define the
future system needs and requirements using a holistic approach. This approach created a high level
customer-centric future state model to effectively support the business needs of CSI including customer
relationship management, internal controls, auditing, and fraud prevention and detection.
2. CSI Phase 2 Approach
Phase 2, which began in February, 2007, is currently underway. During this phase, DMV has engaged
Iconix Software Engineering (www.iconixsw.com) to provide training and guidance for DMV to lead a
detailed business process analysis and re-engineering effort based on a use-case driven, UML object
modeling approach (Iconix Process) utilizing results of the high level re-engineering activities performed
during Phase 1.
The results of the Phase 2 effort are being captured and documented using Sparx’s Enterprise Architect
software. In addition, DMV is extracting embedded business rules from the existing Natural source code.
Also during Phase 2, DMV will proceed through the procurement process to select a solution provider.
By 9/24/07, more information and documentation resulting from the DMV CSI Systems Redesign project,
phase 2 business process re-engineering effort, can be found at www.dmv.virginia.gov/csi. All
information and documentation found on this site is to be considered draft and work in progress.
3. CSI Phase 3 Approach
Phase 3 will begin with the selected solution provider working with DMV to conduct a detailed design
forum based on the results of Phase 1 and 2 re-engineering efforts and developing a functional and
detailed system design of all proposed approaches and solutions utilizing Iconix Process
(www.iconixsw.com) and Sparx’s Enterprise Architect software as specified by DMV.
The purpose of the detailed design forum is to architect and design a technical solution which is able to
meet all the requirements specified at the conclusion of Phase 2 detailed business process analysis and
re-engineering initiatives, and prior to the beginning of system development. To begin the detailed design
forum, DMV will provide a domain model, nonfunctional, functional, and behavioral requirements,
business rules defined and extracted, and use cases (scenarios) as a result of the Phase 2 efforts.
Specific tasks that will be undertaken during the detailed design forum include, but are not limited to:
Specification of the technical architecture to be employed and the required configuration
Program structure and flow
Logical and physical data models
Definition of any interfaces between systems
Preliminary screen design
To facilitate these tasks, Sparx’s Enterprise Architect should be used, along with Iconix Process, to
facilitate the traceability from the requirements and analysis performed during phases 1 and 2 through the
design artifacts, into implementation and deployment.
The results of the detailed design forum will specify how the requirements will be delivered to the user. It
will be written in technical terms and will be used by the developers as a blueprint of the system that will
be built in the next stage. The results should be comprehensive and leave no ambiguity as to what the

1. Overview of Existing Customer Service Center (CSC) Environment
Each CSC has the capability to house its own hardware and software supporting the citizens of the
Commonwealth utilizing server virtualization and operating system streaming to reduce the support costs
associated with distributed systems.
The main technologies utilized are based on Ardence Desktop Edition (www.ardence.com) to stream the
Windows operating system to the desktops. VMWare ESX server is utilized to host virtual Windows 2003
based servers.
DMV CSCs are connected to the DMV HQ via T1 speed circuits. The HQ WAN connections are
enhanced by the use of F5 WANjet appliances. DMV CSC’s also have frame relay circuits connecting
them to the Virginia Information Technologies Agency (VITA) data center for SNA Mainframe traffic only.
All servers in each branch must support being virtual servers. This allows DMV to centrally manage and
deploy servers without having to procure or replace server hardware as systems are introduced,
upgraded, or replaced. Servers can be deployed from the central DMV support system utilizing the
existing DMV Virtual Server Farm. DMV has a pair of HP Proliant DL360s fiber connected to an HP
MSA1000 SAN for Virtual Machines. All connections to the SAN are through the DL360s and Virtual
Servers. The current storage capacity of the MSA1000 is approx 1TB of storage. Disk space can be
provided via Windows 2003 Virtual Servers.
All workstations have the operating system streamed (OSS) via Ardence Desktop Edition. This allows
DMV to centrally manage and update one system image for all machines at the DMV CSCs. The internal
hard disk on each workstation has been deactivated as the operating system is streamed but can be
enabled if necessary. Also, Ardence Desktop Edition provides a full Windows XP Pro Operating system,
not an XP embedded or thin client OS. This allows any device with the proper drivers installed in the
master image to work on the DMV OSS Workstations. DMV has deployed HP dc7600 slim line PC’s for
the OSS Workstations.
User authentication, authorization, file and print, and group policies are provided locally at each CSC via
Virtual Windows 2003 Servers.
Each CSC presently has its own software to support the citizens of the Commonwealth for driver
licensing and vehicle registration utilizing CSCNet (Customer Service Center Network) written in the
Software AG language Natural, in a Unix environment.
2. Overview of Existing DMV HQ Computing Environment
At its Headquarters location, DMV operates a Novell v6.5 LAN.
Customer Service Center PC’s connect to the HQ LAN via the WAN. DMV PC’s operate in either a
Windows 2000 or XP Pro SP2 environment.
Novell GroupWise v7.x is used for e-mail. Netware for SAA is used for 3270 emulation with the use of
Powerterm to access CSS.
3. Overview of Existing Citizen Services System (CSS)
The CSS System is a mainframe application system running in the OS/390 environment at VITA. DMV’s
application programs are built using the Software AG products ADABAS, Natural, and COMPLETE. CSS
is DMV’s primary information system that is used for storing information on customers, their addresses,

h. Increasing alternative service channel usage by allowing most transactions to be offered through
multiple channels.
i. Migrating toward electronic credentials to provide the type of controlled access needed for authorized
entities to verify the existence of electronic credentials, including photographic or other images as
may be required.
j. Accommodating interoperability and integration with business partners by providing a consistent
method to interface with business partners and a consistent message format for exchanging data as
well as creating the ability to effectively manage business partner contracts and billing electronically.
k. Providing an integrated financial component, including integration of the agency’s ERP (Oracle
Financials), to facilitate a complete financial view of the customer (refunds due, additional fees due,
etc.) as well as an enhanced ability to allocate revenues to appropriate accounts.
2. CSI Characteristics
In order to address the business needs and requirements of DMV, the proposed CSI solution should be:
Customer-Centric – DMVs customers include the general public, business partners, and
stakeholders. We need to truly manage every customer’s experience with DMV each and every time
they have contact with the agency and regardless of which service channel they use to make the
contact. Wherever possible, the system should support our goal of ensuring that customers
complete their business on “first contact”. The new system should capture and utilize data that
allows us to effectively manage all our relationships. We need to understand who our customers,
business partners (such as contractual vendors), and stakeholders (such as legislators) are, what
they need and want, and which service option best meets their needs. We need to proactively
manage our customers’ behavior through a system that provides a 360-degree “picture” of all
previous contacts with the agency as well as information on upcoming transactional needs such as
renewals due in the near future. In addition, the system should support a customer’s desire to split
their payment to DMV between cash and check, etc.
Service-Oriented – We need customer-facing processes that eliminate fragmented components and
duplicative data entry stemming from organizational silos. We need to provide seamless outcomes,
ensuring that when interdependent inputs from multiple DMV functional areas are needed to produce
an output (decision or product) we have incorporated, aligned and facilitated all of the required inputs
for every customer, business partner and stakeholder. Customers, business partners, and
stakeholders should be active participants in transaction processing—effectively and efficiently
processing as much of their own transactions as possible regardless of the service option selected.
For example, paper applications should be eliminated wherever possible and customers should key
their information directly into the system before interacting with a DMV employee. This “partnership”
approach to service will allow us to rely on our customers to process routine transactions, or portions
thereof. Procedures should be built into the system as business rules to ensure consistent outcomes
for all customers regardless of which service option is utilized or which DMV employee handles their
transaction. We can then focus our human resources on complex transactions and problem
resolution.
State-of-the-Art – We can realize efficiencies by incorporating the results of business process re-
engineering and identified best practices. System functionality should be based on the core functions
we identified through our strategic planning efforts (these core functions include collect
transportation-related revenues, issue credentials accurately and efficiently, transportation safety
services that help address the Commonwealth’s most critical highway safety needs, provide accurate
and timely data and information, enforce all motoring and tax laws, provide information that
RFP 154:7-061
DMV CSI Systems Redesign Project
Section III
Statement of Needs
Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles
Page 10
August 31, 2007
customers and business partners need to transact business with us, and serve as portal to other
government services). Programming needs should be reduced through the use of open systems
architecture. Separating the application source code from the business rules should facilitate the re-
use of code across multiple applications–system modifications will be less time consuming.
Business users should be allowed to modify business rules and system-generated correspondence,
providing faster responses to changing policies and statutory requirements. We should leverage the
efficiencies offered by technological peripheral equipment such as barcode readers, check and credit
card scanners with PIN pads, document imaging, workflow software, computer touch screens,
electronic forms, and fraudulent document recognition technology. Use of single sign-on technology
should streamline processing in the various business areas.
Secure – We need to improve our ability to provide secure services and perform our stewardship
responsibilities stemming from our sensitive data. The new system should enhance security through
appropriate internal controls, audit trails, and fraud prevention and detection analyses and alerts. It
should adequately protect the security and privacy of our records by establishing and monitoring
system access for employees, customers, business partners, and stakeholders based on their roles,
responsibilities, and relationships to the agency. The benefits of today’s technology should be used
to enhance our ability to effectively verify and authenticate all system users and to monitor their
utilization of the databases. Audit trails should accurately reflect the actions of every employee
involved in any portion of transaction processing and ensure that requisite supervisory and/or
managerial approvals have been secured before transactions can be completed. This approach will
allow us to better fulfill our responsibilities for system user identification and authentication and to
create system alerts when potential misuse is detected. Incorporation of the proper level of checks
and balances will ensure that we collect all of the revenue due the Commonwealth. In addition, we
will adequately track and monitor the distribution of secure products such as titles, license plates,
driver’s licenses, and tax return information.
Intelligent – We envision an automated system that will support “netting” of the fees owed by DMV
customers, using a “shopping cart” service for our web site transactions for example. We should
have much more effective management tools through the creation of a business intelligence
component in our new system. These tools should facilitate prompt management responses to
changing business conditions by providing access to system data in real-time at our desktops. Well-
designed management reports and dashboard updates on key performance indicators should
facilitate productivity monitoring and trend identification. An interface to the agency’s enterprise
resource planning (ERP) system will allow us to create connectivity between customer trends and
budgetary impacts. We should be able to use transaction data to automatically adjust inventory
statistics, trigger inventory reorders and support a migration to “just in time” inventory practices.
3. CSI Global Benefits
The following global benefits and impacts for each of the CSI characteristics describe how DMV
envisions the proposed CSI solution will impact the work processes and environment within the agency:
a. Customer-Centric: A 360-degree view of all contacts with customers, business partners, and
stakeholders
The new system should be built from a true customer perspective and should support better
customer experience management. The system should contain a profile of every customer, business
partner (including vendors, contracts, and grantees) and stakeholder. This profile should provide
complete, chronological information on every contact, transaction, or contract. Information on future
contacts, such as vehicle renewals, driver’s license renewals, invoices or billing due or past due, and
contract expiration dates, should be included as well. Employees should be able to “drill down” to
view digital images of all correspondence received from and/or mailed to the customers, business
RFP 154:7-061
DMV CSI Systems Redesign Project
Section III
Statement of Needs
Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles
Page 11
August 31, 2007
partners, and stakeholders, as well as digital images of any applications and supporting documents
that have been submitted to the agency. All of this should be accessible to staff at their desktops.
Global Benefits/Impacts:
Having a complete, 360-degree view of the customer’s experiences and contacts with DMV will
facilitate a holistic approach to problem identification and ensure responses that are thoroughly
researched and complete.
When responding to a customer, business partner, or stakeholder (in-person, by telephone, e-mail,
or letter) staff can review historical contact information and documentation for all previous contacts
(based on individual access rights) direct from their desktops to resolve issues.
The ability to “drill down” from the customer profile to view document images and documents that
relate to the incoming customer transaction, call, e-mail, or letter will significantly reduce research
time as well as facilitate complete research.
Staff should be able to identify customer situations another employee is already working on, thereby
eliminating duplicate effort and wasted staff time. When a customer claims they were provided
incorrect information by a DMV employee these records should help to validate or invalidate that
claim, providing better information to guide decision making.
Having complete information about various expiration dates, suspensions or outstanding compliance
issues at their finger tips will allow staff to encourage completion of multiple business transactions
with a single contact and facilitate earlier collection of revenues, increased compliance, and
potentially result in increased revenues.
Staff should be able to fully research a customer’s history and situation without having to rely upon
other work areas or employees for information, thereby increasing productivity, reducing service time
and the number of customer contacts.
b. Service-Oriented: Customer-facing processes and seamless outcomes
Automated work-flows embedded in the system should ensure that any interdependent inputs from
multiple DMV functional areas required to produce a decision or product will occur in the proper
sequence. Status data on these interdependent inputs should be available at the desktop. System
screens should be user friendly—all fields should have full labels instead of a myriad of codes.
Common layouts should be used for all screen designs and browser-based technology should
support quick navigation. On-line help should be available. Incorporation of many of our procedures
as “business rules” will enable staff to focus on problem resolution.
Global Benefits/Impacts:
Transactions requiring supervisory or management approval should be automatically routed to
appropriate staff for action and returned to complete the transaction.
Business rules will be embedded in the system to ensure statutory requirements and many
procedures are followed automatically.
Wherever possible, business rules and correspondence will be established and maintained by the
appropriate business area. Historical versions of correspondence will be maintained so employees
can quickly and easily see the actual version sent to an individual customer. Changes to the content
of programmed correspondence, in many cases, will be made by business users instead of the DMV
RFP 154:7-061
DMV CSI Systems Redesign Project
Section III
Statement of Needs
Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles
Page 12
August 31, 2007
Information Technology Services (ITS) area. This will reduce the programming hours needed to
implement legislative changes.
On-line help will assist staff in understanding the information on the customer, business partner, or
stakeholder record. This will enable staff to resolve problems and answer questions without having
to transfer callers to “functional experts” in other areas of the agency.
Universal processing steps should apply to all products tied to the core functions.
c. State-of-the-Art: Leverage all the benefits that today’s technology offers
Transaction processing should be based on the agency’s core business functions—credentialing, tax
processing, and financial management. Electronic forms should be available and paper applications
should be eliminated wherever possible. Workflow for processes should be built into the system with
the flexibility to change a process flow easily to implement legislative changes. Utilization of workflow
software should support electronic approval processes, as needed, for transaction completion. The
system should contain the capability to suspend a transaction and maintain it in a pending status for
future action or completion. All incoming correspondence should be imaged in the mail room and
routed electronically. Digital images of incoming correspondence, outgoing correspondence, and
applications/supporting documents submitted to DMV as part of transaction processing should be
accessible at the desktop and should be tied to the appropriate records for all customers, business
partners, and stakeholders.
Global Benefits/Impacts:
Electronic forms should replace paper, whenever possible, allowing customers and business partners
to conduct portions of the needed data entry for us. Automated workflows should support internal
distribution and tracking of electronic documents (e.g., correspondence, supply orders, invoices,
contracts, grants, etc.) and external electronic forms requiring further analysis and/or approval (e.g.
driver license application, medical, Operating Authority, etc.).
Managers and supervisors should receive electronic notification of the need to log into the system to
complete needed reviews and/or approvals for forms, decision briefs, point sheets, transactions, etc.
Automated workflow should automatically route specific transactions, forms, or documents to other
areas or a supervisor/manager to complete necessary steps required to complete a transaction or
finalize a document. Transactions requiring supervisory approval may be held in a transaction
suspense status and automatically forwarded to supervisors for approval.
d. Secure: Enhanced internal controls, audit trails, and fraud detection and prevention alerts
Access to the system should be based on roles and responsibilities. Online audit trails should
provide information on every person who was involved in any portion of transaction processing. If
supervisory or managerial approval is required for an action to be completed, the system should hold
the transaction in suspense until the supervisor or manager logs in to conduct electronic approval.
An example of this type of situation would be a need to process a transaction as a “no fee”, which
requires supervisory approval. Programming in the system should detect system usage that could
indicate potential fraudulent activity. When suspected fraud is detected, the system should produce
reports for management so that proactive research can be completed. To deter fraudulent activity
and ensure accuracy, supervisors will be required to review samples of employees’ transactions.
The system should have the capability to temporarily suspend transactions (on a random basis) as
they are being completed and supervisors will be required to log into the system and review the
transactions before the processing will be allowed to move forward.
RFP 154:7-061
DMV CSI Systems Redesign Project
Section III
Statement of Needs
Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles
Page 13
August 31, 2007
Global Benefits/Impacts:
The level of access possessed by each staff member should be tailored to their specific roles and
responsibilities. This could create distinct differences in access, even though staff members have
the same general job titles and job duties.
When researching a question or complaint, staff should be able to access audit logs that will reflect
all component pieces of every transaction and obtain information on the employee responsible for
each component. This will facilitate faster and more accurate problem identification and resolution.
Management staff should be able to receive fraud alerts and transaction exception reports allowing
staff to research and take appropriate action as needed in a timely fashion. This is similar to the
process used today to review the telephone bills. Any problems identified will need to be addressed
through coaching, counseling, etc. or referred to the DMV Special Investigations Unit (depending
upon the nature of the problem).
e. Intelligent: Real-time access to data on key performance indicators and ability to “net” fees
and split payments
The system should provide connectivity to a myriad of databases that should feed a data warehouse.
System programming (business intelligence) should utilize this warehouse to supply data at the
desktop for transaction volumes, revenue collection, fuel consumption, wait times, etc. In many
cases, users should be able to access the warehouse to conduct real-time data analysis in lieu of
requesting ad hoc reports. Integration with the agency’s enterprise resource planning (ERP) system,
which is an Oracle Financials based system called Purchasing, Inventory and Payables System
(PIPS), should create connectivity between customer trends and budgetary impacts.
Global Benefits/Impacts:
Questions from customers, business partners, and stakeholders should be able to be researched
and answered through the real-time analysis of warehouse data. This will facilitate faster response
times and support “first contact” resolution.
Paper production reports should be automated. Management reports should be replaced by an
enhanced dashboard, which provides information on the agency’s key performance indicators.
Management should be able to utilize access to warehouse data to manage productivity and pending
work, monitor transaction volumes, revenue, trends, employee performance and identify training
needs based on performance.
Real-time access to the data warehouse would enable staff the ability to query, download data, and
develop many ad hoc reports direct from the desktop.
All DMV employees who are providing data to external sources will be utilizing the same data
warehouse. This will help ensure the provision of consistent responses to statistical questions.

C. TECHNICAL NEEDS AND REQUIREMENTS
1. Conceptual CSI Solution Model
The proposed solution to the CSI effort may come in the form of commercial off the shelf software and
products, customization of off the shelf software and products, an in-house development effort, or a
combination.
The proposed CSI solution will be hosted by the Commonwealth’s Virginia Information Technologies
Agency (VITA). VITA and DMV will work with the selected vendor during the detailed design forum to
define hosting and infrastructure requirements to support the CSI Systems Redesign Project.
The diagram below (Figure 2) provides a conceptual model overview of how DMV envisions a fully
integrated CSI solution. The proposed CSI solution should support the following model components:
Access Channels – DMV envisions all users will utilize this component to access the system and these
channels will support full service, assisted service, and express/self-service users in order to handle the
unique processing needs of each group. Segregating users into groups allows DMV the ability to better
manage system access based on user needs as well as establish and enforce transaction restrictions
consistently across all types of users.
Core Business Services – DMV envisions these components will serve as the foundation of the system.
They should be able to be integrated with other components of the system and each other to provide
efficient processing, effective customer relationship management, appropriate internal controls, and
comprehensive management reporting. The Core Business Services are defined as follows:
Point of Contact Services – This is actually a group of applications designed to handle all transaction
processing. The individual components are as follows:
o Customer Establishment and Maintenance – Supports effective management of customer
records for customers, business partners, and stakeholders.
o Customer Relationship Management (CRM) – Creates a common view or profile of customers,
business partners, and stakeholders across DMV’s multiple core services and service channels.
Tracks all contacts and communications as well as system access capabilities, contract
expiration dates, service level agreements, etc.
Product Management – Provides the infrastructure needed to support all transactions involving
credentials and the processing of tax filings. Consists of two components, Credentialing and Tax
Processing, as described below:
o Credentialing – Provides the infrastructure needed to support all credentialing functions for all
areas (such as driver, vehicle, dealers, motor carriers, fuel distributors, and rental car
companies). This would consist of two modules:
RFP 154:7-061
DMV CSI Systems Redesign Project
Section III
Statement of Needs
Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles
Page 20
August 31, 2007
Issuance and Renewal – Supports the issuance and renewal of all credentials as well as any
ancillary activities such as testing, photos, recordation/release of liens, surety bonds, and
external validations.
Sanctioning, Reinstatement, and Compliance – Supports the sanctioning and reinstatement
of all credentials in all areas (such as suspensions, revocations, cancellations, and stops) as
well as all compliance activities (such as medical, insurance, liquidated damages, licensing
suspensions or revocations, and tax penalties).
o Tax Processing – Support for the calculation, collection, accounting, and reporting statistics for all
tax filings (including IFTA, tax on fuel, and tax on motor vehicle rentals) as well as support for an
external/taxpayer audit function. IFTA, rental tax and fuels tax processing will be rebuilt as DMV
systems.
Financial Management Services – DMV envisions this component should be able to provide overall
support for the following financial functions. It should consist of two modules, identified below, as well as
integration with an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system:
Product financial services – Supports fee and tax collection, settlements, reconciliation, returned checks
and refund processing. Tracks and allocates revenue streams and manages fund transfers.
Inventory Management – Supports tracking and maintenance of inventory using a “just in time”
ordering and delivery approach.
Note: The Secretary of Finance is working on a new state financial system that may eventually become
the ERP (VEAP Project). Initially, DMV will expand the functionality of the Oracle Financials
based Purchasing, Inventory and Payables System (PIPS) to serve as the ERP.
Business Intelligence – DMV envisions this component to be the trusted data source to support
knowledge management, data warehousing, data-mining, business analysis, and management reporting.
It is used to identify, track, and improve key processes and data, identify and monitor trends in
performance (processes, personnel, and systems), and provide risk management information, such as
key indicators evaluation system (KIES), Federal highway reports, etc.
Infrastructure Services – DMV envisions that these services should be able to provide functionality that
will be utilized by each core business component above. These components help ensure consistency
among core service areas, assist in the decision making process and transaction processing, promote
greater flexibility and security in the system, and facilitate more personal and personalized service levels.
Access Rights Management
Audit/Systems Logging
Message Broker
Business Rules Engine
Correspondence
Transaction Suspense
3rd Party Software
Interfaces – DMV envisions that this component will support a variety of internal and external interfaces
utilized in the current system and will need to be available in the modernized system.
Data Store – DMV envisions this component to store customer, transaction, business intelligence, and
audit data. It will receive data requests from the component processes and return data to that
component. The business rules engine (Infrastructure Services) component will provide parameters for
purging the data from the data store, and these purge criteria will vary depending upon the function.

DMV CSI Systems Redesign Project
Section III
Statement of Needs
Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles

2. Mandatory Technical Requirements
DMV information is highly confidential and must be protected from unauthorized access and use. Security
of this data is of utmost importance to the Commonwealth.
Certain types of information are considered restricted data and laws and policy govern how they are
stored and used. The proposed CSI solution must conform to these laws and policies.
To support this requirement, DMV has established the following requirements when designing automated
solutions. Generally speaking:
DMV does not allow direct connections from outside sources to internal systems. All externally and
most internally available applications are designed in a multi-tier security model. No http proxy based
applications are allowed.
DMV restricts the IP application ports that are allowed to traverse networks and segments.
DMV does not allow dynamic port allocation applications.
DMV considers any machine that is directly accessed by an outside entity as a perimeter device and
restricts accordingly.
DMV does not allow the sharing of security credentials for user’s access to DMV systems. This
includes both DMV internal users and external users.
DMV restricts network services that traverse LAN and WAN networking segments.
To meet these requirements, the proposed CSI solution shall:
a. Comply with the standards provided in the Commonwealth of Virginia (COVA) Information
Technology Security Standard SEC 501-01 and 507-00.
b. Adhere to the Virginia Information Technology Agency (VITA) policy for Secured Architecture
Application Delivery.
c. Manage and display data in compliance with standards established under the Americans with
Disabilities Act.
3. Reuse of Existing Technical Components
The Offeror should review the background information that describes the existing DMV technical
environment and allow for reuse of appropriate components of the existing technology wherever feasible
and practical when designing the new CSI system.
For example, the proposed CSI solution should be compatible with:
a. Ardence Desktop Edition (www.ardence.com) Operating System Streaming (OSS).
b. Hyland Systems OnBase software for document and image management, storage, retrieval, and
workflow services.
c. The following client operating systems: Microsoft Windows 2000, Microsoft Windows XP Pro SP2,
and Microsoft Windows XP Pro SP2 streamed via Ardence Desktop Edition.

4. Technology Principles
New enterprise systems, such as the proposed CSI solution, should make use of industry standard
technologies to support flexibility of use and ease of integration with existing and future systems, and with
systems external to the agency.
The Offeror should use the following information regarding technology principles as a basis for
developing their proposed CSI solution:
a. General:
1) The new system should provide well-defined interfaces to enable application functionality to be
accessed programmatically. Interfaces are to be provided to the presentation layer, the business
logic, and the enterprise data store or other data resources.
2) Development tools should be current and commonly used for a variety of enterprise applications.
3) The CSI solution should utilize a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) that will facilitate
connections among transactional systems. Extensible Markup Language (XML) is the preferred
standard language for facilitating communication among systems within our heterogeneous
environment.
4) The integrated CSI solution should be flexible and modular in nature and capable of supporting
current and future automated processing needs and capacity of DMV core business processes and
functions. In addition, the integrated CSI solution should be capable of complying with future
Federal and State mandates and requirements (such as the Federal Real lD Act, etc.)
5) The integrated CSI solution should be organized in an n-tier fashion to create separate layers for
user presentation, data access, enterprise data store, and the business logic and other middle-
tier processing. All applications should reside on a separate server from the enterprise data
store.
6) All deployment of software and applications should be centrally distributed and updated. Ideally
should be Zero-Touch deployment.
7) Should utilize TCP/IP for all client/server communication.
8) Should use industry standards for data storage, retrieval, and processing.
9) Should use ODBC or standard industry interface to back end systems and not allow any vendor
proprietary interfaces.
10) Should have an automatic restart process for connection failures or if the back-end systems are
unavailable.
11) Should support future growth and scalability.
12) Should have an open API for all applications available for consumption of “products” from said
applications.
13) Should integrate with applications via programmatic methods and not via screen-scraping
technology.

b. Usage Profile:
1) The proposed CSI solution should support approximately 2,000 concurrent users and transaction
volumes in excess of 15,000,000 per annum.
c. Interfaces:
1) The success of the system will heavily depend on its ability to interface, integrate and leverage
the functionality of other systems (examples: AAMVANET, credential production services,
Queuing, etc.).
The CSI solution should be able to seamlessly share data with other systems (examples:
queuing ticketing systems from different vendors, state and local jurisdiction’s systems, Oracle
Financials, credential production systems, etc.).
2) The CSI solution should leverage best-practice integration services, both built into the application
and through outside vendor solutions. Interfaces may be achieved through XML, API’s, and
views directly into data tables.
d.
Security:
1) DMV currently follows the guidelines and standards provided by NSA and the SANS Institute.
These guidelines and standards should be followed with the proposed CSI solution.
2) All communications and transmissions between servers, and between servers and clients should
be encrypted.
3) For access control, new enterprise systems should be able to integrate with DMV’s Enterprise
Security system (presently Active Directory and LDAP via Novell NDS) for authentication and
authorization, and, in addition, should be able to support certificate-based authentication using a
standard PKI infrastructure.
4) The CSI solution should be able to restrict access to certain segments of the database based on
user roles.
e.
Administration:
1) The CSI solution should provide application administrators with easily used, web-based or GUI
management tools to automate repetitive tasks.
2) The CSI solution should support a division of labor within the system administration team
(example: one group administers the RDBMS while other groups administer the reporting
warehouse, business rules, etc.).
The CSI solution should also allow DMV to delegate some management to authorized personnel
outside of the IT department. Browser-neutral web-based applications are preferred so that
users do not have to install or update software on their desktops.
f.
Customization:
1) The CSI solution should be capable of being customized to meet DMV’s unique needs, while
easily retaining these customizations in the future.

g.
Reporting:
1) The CSI solution should allow report authors to easily access all of the application’s data, within
application security rules, and clear and complete metadata and documentation.
2) For reporting, the CSI solution should be able to ship data using standard ETL tools to a separate
reporting data mart and a central Enterprise Data Warehouse.
h. Data access:
1) The CSI solution should offer powerful and flexible data manipulation tools that allow us to
quickly append, modify, and delete any data element in the application. The proposed CSI
solution should allow users to take snapshots of data, build summaries of data and build and
update reporting data marts.
2) All activities, including viewing of specific information, should be tracked in audit logs that will
reflect all actions of every transaction and obtain information on the individual responsible for
each action.
D. DATA CONVERSION AND MAPPING
DMV will be performing data quality profiling, data cleansing, and data preparation services for the data
conversion and mapping process prior to the beginning of the detailed design forum.
Working with DMV, the Contractor must perform the data mapping and conversion activities related to the
proposed CSI solution and implementation approach.
E. PROJECT MANAGEMENT
1. Project Oversight and Control
The DMV Project Manager is responsible for overseeing the entire CSI project.
Under the direction of the DMV Project Manager, the Contractor Project Manager must manage all
Contractor activities associated with this project and serve as the Contractor central point of contact.
These activities include, but are not limited to:
a. Providing input and assisting with establishing and updating an integrated project plan and related
project documentation. This includes, but is not limited to:
Project Charter
Project Scope Statement
Detailed Work Breakdown Structure
Project Performance Plan
Project Resource Plan
Project Schedule
Risk Management Plan
Communications Plan
Change and Configuration Management Plan
Required VITA Documentation
RFP 154:7-061

b. Establishing and administering controls to ensure Contractor deliverables are of a quality acceptable
to DMV.
c. Updating a detailed Contractor work plan and schedule on a weekly basis.
d. Monitoring Contractor activities to ensure that project schedules are met.
e. Providing weekly and monthly status reports.
f. Attending and facilitating project related meetings, team status meetings, project briefings, and other
meetings as required.
2. Project Management Methodology
The Contractor shall utilize a project management methodology and approach that conforms to the
Commonwealth of Virginia Project Management Standards issued by the Virginia Information
Technologies Agency. See http://www.vita.virginia.gov/oversight/projects/ for more information.
3. Contractor Work Plan
The Contractor must develop and maintain (throughout the project) a comprehensive Contractor work plan
that addresses the Contractor tasks and effort required to accomplish the requirements outlined in this RFP
to implement the CSI solution.
The Contractor work plan must begin with the Contractor working with DMV to conduct a detailed design
forum (which should take approximately 4 months to complete), based on the results of Phase 1 and 2
re-engineering efforts, to develop a functional and detailed system design of all proposed approaches and
solutions. Sparx’s Enterprise Architect software should be used and the Contractor should follow Iconix
Process (a use-case driven, UML object modeling approach) as specified by DMV. See www.iconixsw.com
for more information on Iconix Process.
The purpose of the detailed design forum is to architect and design a technical solution which is able to
meet all the requirements specified at the conclusion of Phase 2 detailed business process analysis and
re-engineering initiatives, and prior to the beginning of system development.
To begin the detailed design forum, DMV will provide a domain model, nonfunctional, functional, and
behavioral requirements, business rules defined and extracted, and use cases (scenarios) documented
using Sparx’s Enterprise Architect software as a result of the Phase 2 efforts.
Specific tasks that will be undertaken during the detailed design forum include, but are not limited to:
Specification of the technical architecture to be employed and the required configuration
Program structure and flow
Logical and physical data models
Definition of any interfaces between systems
Preliminary screen design
The Contractor must document the functional and detailed design of all approaches and solutions, and
receive DMV acceptance and approval, prior to system development and implementation. To facilitate
these tasks, Sparx’s Enterprise Architect software should be used along with Iconix Process. Detailed
system design must be based on joint detailed design discussions between DMV and the Contractor,
facilitated and documented by the Contractor.
The results from the detailed design forum will specify how the requirements will be delivered to the user.
It will be written in technical terms and will be used by the developers as a blueprint of the system that will
be built in the next stage. The results should be comprehensive and leave no ambiguity as to what the
system will deliver, how it will be structured and how it will be presented to the user. Each business

process documented during the business process re-engineering effort must be taken in turn and a
technical implementation specified. A definite link must be made between specific requirements from the
business process re-engineering effort and the proposed implementation in order to facilitate testing.
Using the results of the detailed design forum, DMV will specify the final scope of the overall CSI solution
to be built. Contractor activities and development effort following the detailed design forum will be re-
negotiated and priced accordingly based on the DMV specified final scope.
At the conclusion of the detailed design forum, the Contractor will work with DMV to negotiate and
document a detailed go-forward plan based on the results of the detailed design forum and the final
scope specified by DMV. This includes, but is not limited to:
Developing a detailed project work plan, staffing plan, and phased implementation approach based
on the results of the detailed design forum.
Negotiating a finalized detailed solution approach.
Documenting a detailed list of all deliverables based on the detailed solution approach and the
phased implementation approach.
Re-negotiate total solution and project costs based on the results of the detailed design forum and
the detailed go-forward plan.
The Commonwealth retains ownership of any and all documentation and work products created during the
detailed design forum and DMV reserves the right to use all documentation, intellectual property, and work
products created during the detailed design forum in any way. Refer to Special Terms and Conditions
contained in RFP Section IX, Part A, Items 15 and 18 for more information.
If DMV accepts and approves the results of the detailed design forum and go-forward plan, a phased
development and implementation approach, including implementation and deployment of the artifacts
from the design forum (for example, business rule engine configuration, population, and implementation)
may proceed for the various components of the overall CSI solution. Acceptance and approval of the
detailed design forum will be based on successful periodic reviews by the appropriate CSI project team
members and/or the CSI oversight committee.
DMV reserves the right to terminate the contract at the conclusion of the detailed design forum or at any
other point after award of the contract. Reasons for termination may include, but are not limited to results
that fail to meet the overall needs of DMV, unacceptable management or performance, insufficient project
funding, and/or for convenience of the Commonwealth.
The proposed plan must clearly define a phased development and implementation approach that
provides for project progression from a detailed design forum into a system development environment,
progressing through the various testing phases, then user and IT training as required, then implementing
at initial pilot test sites, finishing up with statewide production implementation, final system acceptance,
and post implementation support.
The Contractor work plan should include the time frames and required resources detailed in each
component of the project. DMV reserves the right to negotiate the work plan prior to award and/or during
the detailed design forum phase of the project.
Milestones should be identified in the Contractor work plan to measure overall progress and as an
indicator of conformance with the established project schedule. Milestones will be identified by
completion date.
The Contractor work plan should include reasonable time for DMV to review and approve task completion
deliverables, without interrupting the continuing progress towards completion of the project.

tasks associated with the entire project including all project phases. Contractor staffing shall include, but
is not limited to:
A Contractor Project Manager available on-site at DMV throughout the duration of the project until
Final System Acceptance has been achieved.
An appropriate level of Contractor technical and support staff necessary to complete all tasks on
schedule and satisfy the requirements of this project. Staffing should be available on-site at DMV
throughout the duration of the project until Final System Acceptance has been achieved.
DMV will provide an appropriate amount of work space at the Richmond DMV Headquarters facility to
house the proposed Contractor staffing. General office tools will also be provided. This includes a PC,
telephone, general office supplies, and access to a workgroup printer.
DMV reserves the right to request a replacement of any member of the Contractor’s team at any time
during the life of the contract. Refer to Special Terms and Conditions contained in RFP Section IX, Part
A, Item 13 for more information.
F. TESTING APPROACH
1. System acceptance, if the contract proceeds to systems development, will be based on individual CSI
solution components and will follow a phased implementation approach. For each component being
reviewed and tested for acceptance, the following stages will occur:
a. Level 1 Testing: General testing performed during the development stage. Testing is
performed in the development environment.
b. Level 2 Testing: Full system integration testing, prior to production implementation. Testing
is performed in the test environment.
c. Level 3 Testing: System component(s) deployed and monitored for a minimum of 30
calendar days in a production environment at specified pilot site(s).
d. Final Acceptance Period: Final acceptance review and monitoring for a minimum of 30 calendar
days after system component(s) fully implemented and operational
statewide.
2. The Contractor shall work with DMV to document a detailed written test plan which shall include, but is
not limited to:

DMV shall have the sole discretion to determine the appropriate test plan, including all details contained
therein, that will ultimately be used in the determination of whether the CSI solution, and all components
thereof, satisfy the requirements of this RFP (including all addenda and any resulting contract).
3. Unless otherwise specified by DMV, the requirements of this RFP must be completed and final acceptance
achieved within the mutually agreed upon project work plan and schedule. Refer to Special Terms and
Conditions contained in RFP Section IX, Part A, Item 19 for more information.
4. DMV and the Contractor will maintain appropriate records documenting performance during the testing
and final acceptance periods and such records shall be conclusive for purposes of determining
compliance with all testing criteria and final system acceptance requirements.
DMV shall be the sole judge of compliance with testing criteria and whether any failure to satisfy or pass
testing criteria was due to operator error or malfunction.
5. The Contractor is responsible for providing support and software corrections until Final Acceptance is
achieved.
G. TRAINING AND TRANSITION
1. The Contractor shall provide training to adequately prepare operational, administrative, security, and
technical staff in all aspects and functionality of the CSI solution.
2. The Contractor must train technical staff and system/security administration staff to adequately prepare
them for ongoing CSI system maintenance and enhancements.
3. DMV will establish a training schedule after consultation with the Contractor. This schedule must coincide
with the installation schedule.
4. Prior to training, the Contractor must present a “dry run” training presentation to DMV staff for approval.
This presentation must represent what will be presented during the actual training and must include the final
training documents.
H. POST IMPLEMENTATION SUPPORT
1. DMV intends to be self-sufficient to the extent possible and transition into full system support once final
acceptance is achieved. To support this, the Contractor should provide all CSI solution source code to DMV
at the beginning of Level 2 Testing. If the software proposed does not include the source code, the
Contractor shall deport the complete, well-documented source code for the most recent version of the
software delivered under the contract in an escrow account held by a third party. The source code shall
be made available to DMV in the event that the Contractor ceases to do business or discontinues
technical support for the software.
2. Post implementation support provided by the Contractor may be considered by DMV on an as needed basis,
at DMV’s sole discretion.

IV. PROPOSAL PREPARATION AND SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
A. PROPOSAL PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. RFP Response
In order to be considered for selection, Offerors must submit a complete response to this RFP. As further
described in this entire section IV of the RFP, (1) original, (7) full copies, and (2) redacted copies of each
proposal must be submitted to DMV. No other distribution of the proposal shall be made by the Offeror.
DMV will not compensate the Offeror for the cost of proposal preparation whether or not an award is made.
The Offeror is responsible for determining if any addenda have been issued on the solicitation and
responding appropriately within their RFP response. All addenda will be posted on the Commonwealth of
Virginia’s electronic procurement site, eVA. Addenda, as well as any questions and answers, will be
posted on www.eva.virginia.gov under “Solicitations and Awards.” A “key word” search, using “CSI”,
“Systems Redesign”, or “DMV” may be used to locate the solicitation, addenda and questions and
answers (if issued).
2. Proposal Preparation
a. Proposals shall be signed by an authorized representative of the Offeror. All information requested
should be submitted. Failure to submit all information requested may result in DMV requiring prompt
submission of missing information and/or giving a lowered evaluation of the proposal. Proposals which
are substantially incomplete or lack key information may be rejected. Mandatory requirements are
those required by law or regulation or are such that they cannot be waived and are not subject to
negotiation.
b. Proposals should be prepared simply and economically, providing a straightforward, concise description
of capabilities to satisfy the requirements of the RFP. Emphasis should be placed on completeness and
clarity of content.
c. Proposals should be organized in the order in which the requirements are presented in the RFP. All
pages of the proposal should be numbered. Each paragraph in the proposal should reference the
paragraph number of the corresponding section of the RFP. It is also helpful to cite the paragraph
number, subletter, and repeat the text of the requirement as it appears in the RFP. If a response covers
more than one page, the paragraph number and subletter should be repeated at the top of the next
page. The proposal should contain a table of contents which cross-references the RFP requirements.
Information which the Offeror desires to present that does not fall within any of the requirements of the
RFP should be inserted at an appropriate place or be attached at the end of the proposal and
designated as additional material. Proposals that are not organized in this manner risk elimination from
consideration if the evaluators are unable to find where the RFP requirements are specifically
addressed.
d. As used in this RFP, the terms “must”, “shall”, “should” and “may” identify the criticality of requirements.
“Must” and “shall” identify needed requirements whose absence will have a major negative impact on
the suitability of the proposed solution. Items labeled as “should” or “may” are highly desirable.
Depending on the overall response to the RFP, some individual “must” and “shall” items may not be fully
satisfied, but it is the intent to satisfy most, if not all, “must” and “shall” requirements. The inability of an
Offeror to satisfy a “must” or “shall” requirement does not automatically remove that Offeror from
consideration; however, it may seriously affect the overall rating of the Offerors’ proposal.
e. The Offeror shall respond to each paragraph of the RFP. The Offeror shall indicate their ability to meet
mandatory requirements of the RFP and the extent to which they meet the desirable components or
RFP 154:7-061

optional features. Each response to an RFP paragraph must contain a statement such as “XYZ Fully
Complies”, followed by elaboration.
“XYZ Fully Complies” solely as an answer to a specific RFP paragraph will be considered incomplete.
The Offeror shall describe/explain/clarify how they comply, or in the case of their proposed products and
solutions, the Offeror shall describe/explain in detail their proposed products and solutions and how the
products and solutions meet the requirements stated in the RFP.
f. Each copy of the proposal should be bound or contained in a single volume where practical. All
documentation submitted with the proposal should be contained in that single volume. The response to
pricing should be contained in a separate sealed envelope.
g. Ownership of all data, materials, and documentation originated and prepared for the State pursuant to
the RFP shall belong exclusively to the State and be subject to public inspection in accordance with the
Virginia Freedom of Information Act. Trade secrets or proprietary information submitted by an Offeror
shall not be subject to public disclosure under the Virginia Freedom of Information Act; however, the
Offeror must invoke the protections of § 2.2-4342F of the Code of Virginia, in writing, either before or at
the time the data or other material is submitted. The written notice must specifically identify the data or
materials to be protected and state the reasons why protection is necessary. The proprietary or trade
secret material submitted must be identified by some distinct method within the body of the proposal,
such as highlighting or underlining, and must identify only the specific words, figures, or paragraphs that
constitute trade secret or proprietary information. The classification of an entire proposal document, line
item prices, and/or total proposal prices as proprietary or trade secrets is not acceptable and will result
in rejection of the proposal.
h. If the Offeror provides product literature, manuals, diagrams, or other documentation to support their
proposal, it shall be referenced in the appropriate section of their proposal.
3. Oral Presentation
Offerors who submit a proposal in response to this RFP may be required to give an oral presentation and
demonstration of their proposal to DMV. This provides an opportunity for the Offeror to clarify or elaborate
on the proposal. This is a fact finding and explanation session only and does not include negotiation. DMV
will schedule the time and location of these presentations.
Oral presentations are at DMV’s option and may or may not be conducted; however, the Offeror must be
prepared to conduct a presentation within four weeks of proposal opening. If held, DMV will provide the
Offeror with a suggested agenda for this presentation and demonstration at the time the presentation is
scheduled.
4. Site Visit
At DMV’s option, Offerors must be prepared to provide a site visit at an operational customer site where
the proposed solution, or other similar solution of the Offeror, has been implemented. Upon request, the
Offeror must conduct an escorted tour of the site, demonstrating the use of the proposed solution and
describing how the proposed solution meets the needs of DMV. DMV evaluation committee travel
expenses associated with this visit shall be the sole responsibility of DMV.

7. PAYMENT – §2.2-4363 and §2.2-4354:
a. To Prime Contractor:
1) Invoices for items ordered, delivered and accepted shall be submitted by the Contractor directly to
the payment address shown on the purchase order/Contract. All invoices shall show the state
contract number and/or purchase order number; social security number (for individual Contractors) or
the federal employer identification number (for proprietorships, partnerships, and corporations).
2) Any payment terms requiring payment in less than 30 days will be regarded as requiring payment 30
days after invoice or delivery, whichever occurs last. This shall not affect offers of discounts for
payment in less than 30 days, however.
3) All goods or services provided under this Contract or purchase order, that are to be paid for with
public funds, shall be billed by the Contractor at the Contract price, regardless of which public agency
is being billed.
4) The following shall be deemed to be the date of payment: the date of postmark in all cases where
payment is made by mail, or the date of offset when offset proceedings have been instituted as
authorized under the Virginia Debt Collection Act.
5) Unreasonable Charges. Under certain emergency procurements and for most time and material
purchases, final job costs cannot be accurately determined at the time orders are placed. In such
cases, Contractors should be put on notice that final payment in full is contingent on a determination
of reasonableness with respect to all invoiced charges. Charges which appear to be unreasonable
will be researched and challenged, and that portion of the invoice held in abeyance until a settlement
can be reached. Upon determining that invoiced charges are not reasonable, the Commonwealth
shall promptly notify the Contractor, in writing, as to those charges which it considers unreasonable
and the basis for the determination. A Contractor may not institute legal action unless a settlement
cannot be reached within thirty (30) days of notification. The provisions of this section do not relieve
an agency of its prompt payment obligations with respect to those charges which are not in dispute
(Code of Virginia, § 2.2-4363).
b. To Subcontractors:
1) A Contractor awarded a Contract under this solicitation is hereby obligated:
(a) To pay the subcontractor(s) within seven (7) days of the Contractor’s receipt of payment from the
Commonwealth for the proportionate share of the payment received for work performed by the
subcontractor(s) under the Contract; or
(b) To notify the agency and the subcontractor(s), in writing, of the Contractor’s intention to withhold
payment and the reason.

2) The Contractor is obligated to pay the subcontractor(s) interest at the rate of one percent per month
(unless otherwise provided under the terms of the Contract) on all amounts owed by the Contractor
that remain unpaid seven (7) days following receipt of payment from the Commonwealth, except for
amounts withheld as stated in (2) above. The date of mailing of any payment by U. S. Mail is
deemed to be payment to the addressee. These provisions apply to each sub-tier Contractor
performing under the primary Contract. A Contractor’s obligation to pay an interest charge to a
subcontractor may not be construed to be an obligation of the Commonwealth.
c. Each prime Contractor who wins an award in which provision of a SWAM procurement plan is a condition
to the award, shall deliver to the contracting agency or institution, on or before request for final payment,
evidence and certification of compliance (subject only to insubstantial shortfalls and to shortfalls arising
from subcontractor default) with the SWAM procurement plan. Final payment under the Contract in
question may be withheld until such certification is delivered and, if necessary, confirmed by the agency
or institution, or other appropriate penalties may be assessed in lieu of withholding such payment.

unless such waiver or consent to breach is in writing. No fixed-price Contract may be increased by more than
twenty-five percent of the amount of the Contract or $50,000 whichever is greater, without the advance
written approval of the Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia or his authorized designee.

issued hereunder. Work Product shall not include configuration of software.”
a. Work Product:
DMV and Contractor each acknowledge that performance of this Contract may result in Work Product. The
Parties shall document all Work Product specifications and such specifications shall be made an
incorporated exhibit to this Contract. Contractor agrees that it shall promptly and fully disclose to the
Commonwealth any and all Work Product generated, conceived, reduced to practice or learned by
Contractor or any of its employees, either solely or jointly with others, during the term or performance of this
Contract, which in any way relates to the business of the Commonwealth or DMV. Contractor further agrees
that neither Contractor nor Contractor’s employees, nor any party claiming through Contractor or
Contractor’s employees, shall, other than in the performance of this Contract, make use of or disclose to
others any proprietary information relating to the Work Product. All Services performed shall include delivery
of all source and object code and all executables and documentation for all Work Product. Contractor
agrees that a copy of the most recent source code shall be provided to the Commonwealth.
b. Ownership:
Contractor agrees that, whether or not the Services are considered “works made for hire” or an employment
to invent, all Work Product discovered, created or developed under this Contract shall be and remain the
sole property of the Commonwealth and its assigns. Except as specifically set forth in writing and signed by
both DMV and Contractor, or DMV and Contractor, Contractor agrees that the Commonwealth shall have all
rights with respect to any Work Product discovered, created or developed under this Contract without regard
to the origin of the Work Product.
If and to the extent that Contractor may, under applicable law, be entitled to claim any ownership interest in
the Work Product, Contractor hereby transfers, grants, conveys, assigns and relinquishes exclusively to the
Commonwealth any and all right, title and interest it now has or may hereafter acquire in and to the Work
Product under patent, copyright, trade secret and trademark law in perpetuity or for the longest period
otherwise permitted by law. If any moral rights are created, Contractor waives such rights in the Work
Product. Contractor further agrees as to the Work Product to assist the Commonwealth in every reasonable
way to obtain and, from time to time, enforce patents, copyrights, trade secrets and other rights and
protection relating to the Work Product, and to that end, Contractor and its employees shall execute all
documents for use in applying for and obtaining such patents, copyrights, and other rights and protection,
and in protecting trade secrets, with respect to such Work Product, as the Commonwealth may reasonably
request, together with any assignments thereof to the Commonwealth or entities designated by the
Commonwealth. Contractor’s and its employees’ obligations to assist the Commonwealth in obtaining and
enforcing such rights shall continue beyond the termination of this Contract.
The Contractor hereby agrees that, notwithstanding anything else in this Contract, in the event of any breach
of this Contract by DMV, the Contractor’s remedy shall not include any right to rescind, otherwise revoke, or
invalidate the provisions of this Section. Similarly, no termination of the Contract by DMV shall have the
effect of rescinding the provisions of this Section.

c. Pre-existing Rights:
If and to the extent that any pre-existing rights are embodied or reflected in the work product, Contractor
hereby grants to the Commonwealth the irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free right
and license to (i) use, execute, reproduce, display, perform, distribute copies of and prepare derivative
works based upon such pre-existing rights and any derivative works thereof and (ii) authorize others to do
any or all of the foregoing.
d. Return of Materials:
Upon termination of this Contract, Contractor shall immediately return to DMV all copies, in whatever form,
of any and all Confidential Information, Work Product and other properties provided by DMV, which are in
Contractor’s possession, custody or control.
e. Software and Deliverable Cure Period:
Contractor shall correct any non-conformities identified hereunder and shall thereafter re-submit such
previously non-conforming Software or Deliverable for re-testing within fifteen (15) days of written notice of
non-conformance, or as otherwise agreed between DMV and Contractor. In the event that Contractor fails
to deliver Software or a Deliverable which meets the Requirements, DMV may, in its sole discretion: (i) reject
the Software or Deliverable in its entirety and recover amounts previously paid hereunder; (ii) issue a “partial
Acceptance” of the Software or Deliverable with an equitable adjustment in the price to account for such
deficiency; or (iii) conditionally accept the applicable Software or Deliverable while reserving its right to
revoke Acceptance if timely correction is not forthcoming. Failure of the Software or a Deliverable to meet, in
all material respects, the specifications and performance standards after the second set of acceptance tests
shall constitute a default by Contractor. In the event of such default, DMV may, at its sole discretion,
terminate its order, in whole or in part, for the Solution to be provided thereunder by Contractor. Contractor
shall accept return of any products or Software provided to DMV, and Contractor shall refund any monies
paid by DMV pursuant to the order, or portion thereof terminated, the Solution contemplated under the order
being considered as a whole not as a sum of its parts. All costs of de-installation and return of product or
Software shall be borne by Contractor. This remedy is in addition to and not in lieu of any other remedies of
DMV set forth herein or available at law or in equity.
19. ACCEPTANCE: DMV will provide written confirmation of its acceptance following successful completion of
the detailed design forum and the development, installation, and testing of each milestone component, as
subsequently negotiated. Such acceptance shall not be conclusive of complete conformance in all respects
to the Contract specifications and other requirements, or the nonexistence of potential latent defects.
20. REPLACEMENT FOR FAILED COMPONENTS:
a. If the Contractor fails to meet the Contract requirements, DMV may require a replacement of the solution
or any solution component (to be provided by the Contractor) and/or may avail itself of the remedies for
default, breach, and/or liquidated damages. If a replacement is requested by DMV, such replacement
shall be of comparable quality and shall be furnished and installed by the Contractor within a DMV
specified schedule following the request for replacement, at no additional cost to DMV.
b. System Acceptance for each CSI solution component will be provided by DMV in writing upon successful
completion of testing and final acceptance periods. Such confirmation will not indicate complete
conformance in all respects to the Contract specifications and other requirements. Latent defects
discovered and reported to the Contractor shall be promptly remedied to the satisfaction of DMV.
c. The Contractor shall not be entitled to, and DMV will not pay, any charges, either beforehand or
retroactively, associated with the Contractors failure to satisfy any testing criteria, pass any test period,
and/or achieve final acceptance.

21. CHARGES FOR TESTING NOT ALLOWED: The Contractor shall not be entitled to, and DMV will not pay,
any charges, either prior to or retroactively, associated with the Contractor’s failure to satisfy any testing
criteria, pass any test period and/or achieve final acceptance.
22. QUALIFIED REPAIR PERSONNEL: All warranty services to be performed on the items delivered in this
solicitation shall be performed by qualified technicians to perform such services. The Commonwealth
reserves the right to require proof of certification prior to award and at any time during the term of the
Contract.
23. ACCESSIBILITY: The Offeror certifies to the Commonwealth that the product(s) and/or services provided
pursuant to this Contract conform to all applicable Federal and State laws, regulations, rules and guidance
documents, (including but not limited to the Americans with Disabilities Act) which are applicable to the
Contractor and/or the Department of Motor Vehicles (in its capacity as an employer and/or as a state agency
providing products and services to the public) in the procurement and/or use of the products and/or services
provided pursuant to this Contract and in the provision of such products and/or services to the public. The
Contractor shall include this provision in every Contract or purchase order for subcontractors or vendors in
any way related to his Contract and/or the services and products provided hereunder, so that the provisions
will be binding upon each subcontractor or vendor.
24. ADVERTISING: In the event a Contract is awarded for products and/or services resulting from this Request
for Proposal, no indication of such sales or services to the Department of Motor Vehicles will be used in
product literature or advertising. The Contractor shall not state in any of its advertising or product literature
that the Commonwealth of Virginia or any agency or institution of the Commonwealth has purchased or uses
its products or services. In no event the Contractor shall use a proprietary mark of DMV without receiving the
prior written consent of the DMV Contract Officer.
25. AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS: It is understood and agreed between the parties herein that DMV shall be
bound hereunder only to the extent of the funds available or which may hereafter become available for the
purpose of this agreement.
26. TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE OF THE COMMONWEALTH: The Contract may be terminated for
the convenience of the Commonwealth by delivering to the Contractor a notice of termination specifying the
extent to which performance under the purchase order or Contract is terminated, and the date of termination.
After receipt of a notice of termination, the Contractor must stop all work or deliveries under the purchase
order or Contract on the date and to the extent specified.
If the purchase order or Contract is for commercial items sold in substantial quantities to the general public
and no specific identifiable inventories were maintained exclusively for the Commonwealth’s use, no claims
will be accepted by the Commonwealth. Payment will be made for items shipped or services provided prior to
receipt of the termination notice, unless otherwise specified in the Contract.
If the purchase order or Contract is for items being produced exclusively for the use of the Commonwealth,
and raw materials or services must be secured by the Contractor from other sources, the Contractor shall
order no additional materials or services except as may be necessary for completion of any portion of the
work which was not terminated. The state may direct the delivery of the fabricated or non-fabricated parts,
work in process, completed work, supplies, and other material produced as a part of, or acquired in
connection with the performance of the work, or direct the Contractor to sell the same, subject to the state’s
approval as to price. The Contractor may, with the approval of the state, retain the same, and apply a credit
to the claim. The Contractor must complete performance on any part of the purchase order or Contract not
terminated.
The Contractor must submit any termination claim within 120 days after receipt of the notice of termination, or
such longer period as the state for good cause may allow. This claim will be in a form and with certifications

prescribed by the purchasing office that issued the purchase order. The claim will be reviewed and forwarded
with appropriate recommendations to the requisitioning agency and/or the appropriate assistant attorney
general for disposition in accordance with the Code of Virginia, § 2.2-514. Termination for convenience
claims will be considered for only actual expenses incurred up to the time of termination.
27. CONTRACTOR’S TITLE TO MATERIALS: No materials or supplies for the work shall be purchased by the
Contractor or by any Subcontractor subject to any chattel mortgage or under a conditional sales or other
agreement by which an interest is retained by the seller. The Contractor warrants that he has clear title, or
has the authority from third parties to allow the transfer of title or license, to all materials, supplies and
deliverables for which he invoices for payment.
28. AVAILABILITY OF SOFTWARE: The Contractor represents and warrants that all Products (with the
exception of custom developed software) were formally announced for marketing purposes before execution
of a Contract or, in the case of subsequent Orders, before execution of such Orders.
29. INSPECTION/LATENT DEFECTS: All Products are subject to inspection and test. Products that do not
meet their published specifications or perform within the specifications of this RFP may be rejected. Failure
to reject, however, does not relieve the Contractor of liability for latent or hidden defects subsequently
revealed when goods are used after Final System Acceptance has occurred. If latent defects are found in
any products delivered under this Contract at any time during the term of the warranty and maintenance
period, the Contractor shall repair or replace the defective goods. This remedy shall be in addition to any
other remedies or obligations under this Contract or provided by law.
30. INFRINGEMENT ACTIONS:
a. Contractor, at its own expense, shall defend any suit brought against the Commonwealth for the
infringement of patents, copyrights or trade secrets protected by state or federal law if the claim of
infringement is alleged to relate to or arise from the Contractor’s or Commonwealth’s use of any software,
materials or information prepared or developed in connection with performance of the Contract. In such
suit, Contractor shall satisfy any final award for any infringement.
b. DMV shall notify the Contractor of such suit within a reasonable time after learning of it and shall give the
Contractor the full right and opportunity to conduct the defense of the suit, subject however to the
requirements of §2.1-127 of the Code of Virginia or any successor statute. If principles of governmental
or public law are involved, the Commonwealth may, at its option, participate in the defense of the suit.
c. The Contractor shall not be required to indemnify the Commonwealth against any claim of infringement
arising solely out of the Commonwealth’s own specifications or design or solely from the combination of
software furnished hereunder with any software not supplied by the Contractor.
d. If, in the Contractor’s opinion, any Product or Service is likely to or does become the subject of a claim of
infringement, Contractor may, at its option, provide non-infringing substitutes that are satisfactory to the
Commonwealth, or at Contractor’s option and expense, may obtain the right for the Commonwealth to
continue the use of such Product or Service.
e. If the use of such software, materials, or information by the Commonwealth is prevented by permanent
injunction or by Contractor’s failure to procure the right for the Commonwealth to continue using the
software, materials, or information, the Contractor agrees to take back the infringing software, materials
or information and refund the total amount the Commonwealth has paid Contractor under this Contract,
less one and one half (1 1/2) percent of the total paid for each month of use by the Commonwealth. This
obligation is in addition to the obligations cited in subparagraphs a. through d. of this Section entitled
“Infringement Actions.”

31. ENGINEERING CHANGES: The Contractor may make engineering changes with the consent of DMV,
provided there is no additional charge for the change and DMV is able to schedule the change to avoid
material impact upon the daily operations of DMV.
32. OPERATIONAL RESTRICTIONS: The Contractor warrants that, except as specifically agreed in writing all
Products may be operated at any time for the convenience of DMV (exclusive of time required for preventive
maintenance, remedial maintenance and approved engineering changes). Without limiting the foregoing,
Contractor warrants that there are no restrictions as to consecutive hours or length of personnel shifts.
33. INDEMNIFICATION: Contractor agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Commonwealth of
Virginia, its officers, agents, and employees from any claims, damages, and actions of any kind or nature,
whether at law or in equity, arising from or caused by the use of any materials, goods, or products/services of
any kind or nature furnished by the Contractor, provided that such liability is not attributable to the sole
negligence of the Commonwealth or to failure of the Commonwealth to use the materials, goods, or
products/services in the manner already and permanently described by the Contractor on the materials,
goods, or products/services delivered.
Contractor also agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Commonwealth of Virginia, its officers,
agents, and employees from any claims, damages, actions or other costs and expenses of any kind or
nature, whether at law or in equity, arising from or caused in whole or in part by the non-compliance or non-
conformity of the products and services provided hereunder with any federal or state law, regulation, rule or
guidance document applicable to the Contractor and/or DMV.
Contractor further agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Commonwealth of Virginia, its officers,
agents, and employees from any claims, damages, and actions of any kind or nature, whether at law or in
equity, arising from or caused in whole or part by the acts or omissions of Contractor, its agents, and/or
employees, related in any way to this Contract.
34. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES: In the event that Final System Acceptance is not achieved by the Contractor by
the date specified in the detailed design forum, there will be deducted, not as a penalty but as liquidated
damages, a per day amount as negotiated at the conclusion of the detailed design forum for each and every
calendar day of delay beyond the time specified, and will include total costs for all DMV resources impacted
by any project delay caused by the Contractor. If the delivery is delayed by any act, negligence, or default on
the part of the Commonwealth, public enemy, war, embargo, fire, or explosion not caused by the negligence
or intentional act of the Contractor or his supplier(s), or by riot, sabotage, or labor trouble that results from a
cause or causes entirely beyond the control or fault of the Contractor or his supplier(s), a reasonable
extension of time as deemed appropriate by DMV may be granted. Upon receipt of a written request and
justification for any extension from the Contractor, the DMV may extend the time for performance of the
Contract or delivery of goods herein specified, at the DMV’s sole discretion, for good cause shown.
35. PERFORMANCE BOND: A performance bond is a Contract of guarantee executed in the full sum of the
Contract amount subsequent to award by a successful Offeror to protect the Government from loss due to
the Contractor’s inability to complete the Contract in accordance with its terms and conditions. DMV may
require the successful Offeror to deliver to the purchasing office a Performance Bond in the sum of the
Contract amount with the Commonwealth of Virginia as obligee, conditioned upon the faithful performance of
the Contract in strict conformity with the plans, specifications, and conditions of the Contract. The surety shall
be a surety company or companies approved by the State Corporation Commission to transact business in
the Commonwealth of Virginia. No payment shall be due and payable to the Contractor, even if
the Contract
has been performed in whole or in part, until the bonds have been delivered to and approved by the
purchasing office. If required, the Contractor shall provide standard bond forms to the purchasing office prior
to or at the time of award.

deemed to have been sufficiently given if delivered in person, or if deposited in the U.S. mails, postage
prepaid, for mailing by registered, certified mail, or overnight courier service addressed to the addresses
shown on the signature page. DMV or the Contractor may change its address for notice purposes by giving
the other notice of such change in accordance with this section.
37. NO WAIVER: Any failure to enforce any terms of this Contract shall not constitute a waiver.
38. HEADINGS: The paragraph headings are for convenience and in no way define, limit or enlarge the scope of
this Contract or any of its Sections.
39. SEVERABILITY: Invalidity of any term of this Contract, in whole or in part, shall not affect the validity of any
other term. DMV and the Contractor further agree that in the event such provision is an essential part of this
Contract, they shall immediately begin negotiations for a suitable replacement provision.
40. SURVIVAL: The provisions of this Contract regarding software license, rights to work product, warranty,
escrow, confidentiality, and liability and indemnification, and the general provisions shall survive the expiration
or termination of this Contract.
41. FORCE MAJEURE: No party shall be responsible for failure to meet its obligations under this Contract if the
failure arises from causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the non-performing party.
If any performance date under this Contract is postponed or extended pursuant to this section for longer than
thirty (30) calendar days, DMV, by written notice given during the postponement or extension, may terminate
Contractor’s right to render further performance after the effective date of termination without liability for that
termination, and in addition DMV may terminate any order affected by such postponement or delay.
42. REMEDIES: The remedies set forth in this Contract are intended to be cumulative. In addition to any specific
remedy, DMV reserves any and all other remedies that may be available at law or in equity.
43. OFFERS OF EMPLOYMENT: During the first twelve (12) months of the Contract, should the Contractor or
any sub-Contractors under Contract with the Contractor, hire an employee of the DMV who has substantially
worked on the project covered by this Contract without prior written consent, the Contractor shall be billed for
fifty percent (50%) of the employee’s annual salary in effect at the time of termination.
44. BANKRUPTCY: If the Contractor becomes insolvent, takes any step leading to its cessation as a going
concern, fails to pay its debts as they become due, or ceases business operations continuously for longer
than fifteen (15) business days, then the DMV may immediately terminate this Contract, on notice to the
Contractor unless the Contractor immediately gives the DMV adequate assurance of the future performance
of this Contract or the applicable order. If bankruptcy proceedings are commenced with respect to the
Contractor, and if this Contract has not otherwise terminated, then the DMV may suspend all further
performance of this Contract until the Contractor assumes this Contract and provides adequate assurance of
performance thereof or rejects this Contract pursuant to section 365 of the bankruptcy code or any similar or
successor provision, it being agreed by the DMV and the Contractor that this is an executory Contract. Any
such suspension of further performance by the DMV pending the Contractor’s assumption or rejection shall
not be a breach of this Contract, and shall not affect the rights of the DMV to pursue or enforce any of its
rights under this Contract or otherwise.
45. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE DMV AND CONTRACTOR: The Contractor has no authority to Contract for
the DMV or in any way to bind, to commit the DMV to any agreement of any kind, or to assume any liabilities
of any nature in the name of or on behalf of the DMV. Under no circumstances shall the Contractor, or any of
its employees, hold itself out as or be considered an agent or an employee of the DMV, and the DMV shall
have no duty to provide or maintain any insurance or other employee benefits on behalf of the Contractor or
its employees. The Contractor represents and warrants that it is an independent Contractor for purposes of

security contributions, for the Contractor. Any and all taxes, interest or penalties, including, but not limited to,
any federal, state or local withholding or employment taxes, imposed, assessed or levied as a result of this
Contract shall be paid or withheld by the Contractor or, if assessed against and paid by the DMV, shall be

facilities, on any equipment, by any number of users, and for any purposes for which it is acquired. The
Commonwealth further reserves the right to transfer all rights under the license to another state agency to
which some or all of its functions are transferred. This license is perpetual and in no event shall Contractor’s
remedies for any breach of this Contract include the right to terminate any license or support services
hereunder.
3. LIMITATION OF USE: The Commonwealth’s right to use computer software developed entirely at private
expense may be limited by the Contractor as stipulated in this Contract. Notwithstanding any provision to the
contrary however, the Commonwealth shall have at a minimum: unlimited use of the software on the

a monetary claim in accordance with § 2.2-4363 of the Code of Virginia.
4. SOFTWARE UPGRADES: The Commonwealth shall be entitled to any and all upgraded versions of the
software covered in the Contract that becomes available from the Contractor. The maximum charge for
upgrade shall not exceed the total difference between the cost of the Commonwealth’s current version and

5. SOURCE CODE: In the event the Contractor ceases to maintain experienced staff and the resources
needed to provide required software maintenance, the Commonwealth shall be entitled to have, use, and
duplicate for its own use, a copy of the source code and associated documentation for the software products

Commonwealth shall have exclusive right to possess all physical embodiments of such Contractor owned
materials. The rights of the Commonwealth in this respect shall survive for a period of twenty (20) years after
the expiration or termination of the Contract. All lease and royalty fees necessary to support this right are

neither the software nor its use in accordance with the Contract will violate or infringe upon any patent,
copyright, trade secret, or any other property rights of another person or organization.
8. SOFTWARE LICENSE: DMV will consider Contractor-provided language only when Contractor is a reseller of
the software and the software publisher requires an end user license agreement (EULA). In such case,
Contractor is advised that DMV will require an addendum to such EULA to address terms and conditions in such
EULA with which DMV, as a government entity, by law or by policy, cannot agree. DMV is a state agency of the
Commonwealth of Virginia and therefore any license shall be held by the Commonwealth.
a. License Grant:
1) License Grant Option 1 – Software licensed by Contractor: Contractor grants to the
Commonwealth a fully paid, perpetual, worldwide, nonexclusive, transferable, irrevocable object code
license to use, copy, modify, transmit and distribute the Software and Documentation including any
subsequent revisions, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein and subject only
to the limitations and/or restrictions explicitly set forth in this Contract. It is expressly understood that
“perpetual” license rights shall commence upon delivery of the Software to DMV and shall exist in
perpetuity unless otherwise terminated in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Contract.
The Software is the property of Contractor, and no title or ownership of the Software or any of its
parts, including Documentation, shall transfer to the Commonwealth.
The Commonwealth shall have the right to use, copy, modify, transmit and distribute the Software for
their benefit, for government use and purposes, and for the benefit of their Agents, including internal
and third-party information processing.
The Commonwealth may allow access to the Software by third party vendors who are under Contract
with DMV to provide services to or on behalf of DMV, or by other entities as required for conducting
the business of government. Access includes loading or executing the Software on behalf of DMV or
its Agents.
The license fee includes a test system copy, which consists of the right to use the Software for non-
production test purposes, including but not limited to, problem/defect identification, remediation, and
resolution, debugging, new version evaluation, Software interface testing, and disaster recovery
technique analysis and implementation.
In the event that all of DMV’s copies of the Software, including all backup copies, are destroyed,
irreparably damaged or otherwise lost due to fire, explosion, sabotage, flood or other disaster,
Contractor shall provide to DMV, at no additional cost, replacement copies of the Software and
Documentation. Nothing contained in this Section shall obligate Contractor to replace or assist in the
recovery of data lost concurrent with the loss of the Software.
DMV may make a reasonable number of copies of the Software and Documentation for use in
training, support, demonstrations, backup, archiving, disaster recovery and development, and may
run the Software concurrently at a back-up site, for no additional license fees or costs. DMV agrees
that any copies of the Software or Documentation that it makes under this Contract shall bear all
copyright, trademark and other proprietary notices included therein by Contractor. DMV may add its
own copyright or other proprietary notice, or copyright or other proprietary notice of the
Commonwealth, to any copy of the Software or Documentation, which contains modifications to
which the Commonwealth has ownership rights pursuant to this Contract.
Except as expressly authorized, DMV shall not distribute the Software to any third party without
Contractor’s prior written consent.

Except as provided or allowed by law, no Party shall reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or
otherwise attempt to derive source code or other trade secrets from any software or other intellectual
property of any other Party.
2) License Grant Option 2 – Software licensed by Software Publisher: Contractor shall provide
Software as part of its Solution. Such Software is licensed directly from the Software Publisher through
the end user licensing agreement (EULA).
Nothing contained herein shall be construed to restrict or limit the rights of the Commonwealth or DMV to
use any technical data, which the Commonwealth may already possess or acquire under proper
authorization from other sources.
b. License Type:
All licenses granted, regardless of the type, include all uses set forth above. License type(s) is/are TBD
based on Contractor’s licensing model(s).
c. No Subsequent, Unilateral Modification of Terms by Contractor (“Shrink Wrap”):
Notwithstanding any other provision or other unilateral license terms which may be issued by Contractor
after the effective date of this Contract, and irrespective of whether any such provisions have been proposed
prior to or after the issuance of an order for a Solution, the components of which are licensed under this
Contract, or the fact that such other agreement may be affixed to or accompany Software upon delivery
(“shrink wrap”), the terms and conditions set forth herein shall supersede and govern licensing and delivery
of all products and services hereunder.
9. MALICIOUS CODE: The Contractor has used its best efforts through quality assurance procedures to ensure
that there are no computer viruses or undocumented features in the solution at the time of delivery to agency.
The Contractor warrants that the solution does not contain any embedded device or code (e.g., time bomb)
that is intended to obstruct or prevent DMV’s use of the solution. Notwithstanding any rights granted under
this Contract or at law, the Contractor hereby waives under any and all circumstances any right it may have or
may hereafter have to exercise electronic self-help. The Contractor agrees that the DMV may pursue all
remedies provided under law in the event of a breach or threatened breach of this section, including injunctive
or other equitable relief. Electronic self-help means, any use of electronic means to exercise Contractor’s
license termination rights, if allowable pursuant to the software license section of this Contract, upon breach
or cancellation, termination or expiration of this Contract or any order placed hereunder.
10. OPEN SOURCE: The Contractor will notify DMV if the solution contains any open source code and identify
the specific open source license that applies to any embedded code dependent on open source code,
provided by the Contractor under the Contract.
