The State of California is seeking a vendor to implement a cloud-based Water Technical Access Portal (WaterTAP) to enhance water data management, compliance processes, and workflow automation. The requested solution should be an enterprise-level system developed on Salesforce as a cloud-based SaaS platform. WaterTAP is expected to intake diverse documentation, certifications, compliance forms, and data from public water systems, allowing for automated compliance document generation, thorough recordkeeping, and data-driven decision making.

A key requirement is integration: the selected vendor must provide an overarching architecture that seamlessly connects existing data systems while integrating new data sources—from spreadsheets to databases—into a unified platform. The portal should offer intuitive user interfaces accessible via web, mobile, or desktop applications, facilitating easy access for both internal staff and external stakeholders. Workflow automation is critical, with adaptability for changing business needs and support for custom report generation, user activity tracking, workflow routing, and compliance decision support.

The scope includes software licensing, implementation, maintenance, and optional post-implementation services. The anticipated contract period is one year. Interested vendors should note important dates for question submissions and the pre-bid conference.
