The State of California is seeking a vendor to provide a web-based reservations and recreation management system to support park district operations. The desired solution should facilitate reservation requests, validate availability, enforce business rules, and maintain comprehensive reservation records. Key functionalities include customer care services such as check-ins and cancellations, robust contact center support, and a secure public-facing website enabling reservations and purchases.

The system must offer automated and manual communications tailored to user profile preferences, including email, pre-recorded calls, and text alerts.
