Weber State University is publishing this notice of intent, pursuant to the Utah Procurement Code (Title 63G Chapter 6a Part 8), to award a contract without competition.

Description of procurement item to be purchased: Paciolan Software Contract. Estimated value of the contract/purchase order: $1,273,318.00. Vendor Name: A-L Tier II LLC (Paciolan). The term of this contract will be: 5 and renewal options: 1.

In the subsequent pages, Weber State University has identified its justification for wanting to award a contract without engaging in standard procurement process.

Transitional costs are a significant consideration in selecting a procurement item and the results of a cost-benefit analysis demonstrate that transitional costs are unreasonable or cost-prohibitive, and that the award of a contract without engaging in a standard procurement process is in the best interest of the procurement unit.

Determination of Other Interested Suppliers

The intent of this notice is to determine if there are any other interested and qualified suppliers that meet the specifications of this notice. Any such suppliers must submit the following information:

• the name of the contesting person; and

In addition, a supplier should include:

• documentation that your firm can provide a comparable or better procurement item that meets or exceeds the specifications;
• documentation that your firm can also provide the same proprietary procurement item or an equivalent procurement item; and
• if transitional costs are identified as the justification for this notice, submit a cost comparison of the identified transitional costs with your firm's anticipated transitional costs.

DO NOT CONTACT THE CONDUCTING PROCUREMENT UNIT. Any questions regarding this notice, including obtaining additional information, can be obtained through the Weber State University Purchasing Department during the publication period. No action is required if you agree with this Notice.

If, after the public notice period has passed, no valid challenges have been received, then the Weber State University Purchasing Department may award a contract to the identified supplier without competition.
