Mount Pearl council has approved a new cloud to hold its data, documents and information.
“The City has recently issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Laserfiche Cloud Services and Data Migration,” explained councillor Mark Rice. “This initiative aims to transition from our current on-premises Laserfiche installation to a cloud-based solution. The selected service provider will be tasked with delivering ongoing support and license management for the City’s Laserfiche Municipal Site License.”
The City received five proposals, which were evaluated based on technical and financial criteria.
Ricoh Canada, which has provided Laserfiche support to the City since 2012, was the lowest qualified bidder and also received the highest score.
“With the existing relationship with Ricoh Canada and their technical support team, the Department of Corporate Services anticipates that the transition to this service delivery model will be a seamless process given their knowledge of our Laserfiche environment,” said Rice.
The three-year contract will pay Ricoh $33,743 including HST for 2025, $34,755 including HST for 2026, and $35,798 including HST for 2027, for a total of $104,297, including HST. Contract extensions will be considered before the contract expiration date.
