DESCRIPTION

The organization is seeking a vendor to provide a comprehensive shoreline permitting workflow management system. The solution should include a public-facing online portal that allows applicants to submit shoreline permit applications, access information, track the status of their applications, and receive notifications.

Key components of the system must include end-to-end permit lifecycle management—spanning application submission, intake validation, review, approval or denial tracking, and renewal management. Additional features should encompass document management, automated workflow and routing, task and case management, GIS and external system integration, payment processing and fee management, inspection management, compliance and enforcement tracking, as well as robust reporting and analytics—including environmental and regulatory reporting.

The system must also address security and data protection, and offer mobile accessibility for users. The initial contract period for the system will be three years.
