City of Tukwila
Invitation and Introduction
Background
The City of Tukwila is a 107 -year-old community incorporated in 1908 encompassing 9.63 square miles.
Tukwila is located in the heart of the Puget Sound region, approximately 12 miles south of downtown
Seattle, 17 miles north of Tacoma, and just east of the Seattle -Tacoma International Airport. The current
City population is just under 20,000.
The City includes single and multi -family residences, heavy and Tight manufacturing, and service-oriented
companies, as well as the Northwest's largest concentration of retail businesses. The City prides itself
on a well-established economic base, low debt burden, and strong financial management.
Tukwila is a full-service City, providing water, sewer, surface water utilities, police, fire protection,
emergency medical services, construction and maintenance of streets, park and recreational activities,
and cultural events.
Purpose of RFP
The purpose of this RFP is to solicit proposals from software suppliers, systems integrators,
implementation partners and/or Value Added Resellers (VARs) who can demonstrate that they possess
the organizational, functional, and technical capabilities to provide a Timekeeping/Staff Scheduling
solution that meets the City's needs. The City would like to explore the feasibility of implementing a
Timekeeping/Staff Scheduling system to streamline the process of planning and scheduling 24/7 shifts,
while strictly complying with mandated union and labor rules. The goal is to identify whether an
automated Timekeeping/Staff Scheduling solution will mitigate scheduling conflicts, streamline
management of scheduling, potentially reduce overtime, and integrate with current City systems. The
City of Tukwila is seeking specific information regarding system capabilities of a Timekeeping/Staff
Scheduling solution.
Overview
The City of Tukwila's Fire Department typically works a variety of shifts where staff members often rotate
overtime and shift schedules. They must manage 'Kelly days' (Work reduction days; paid days off that
do not count as hours worked) and vacation schedules, while strictly complying with union mandated
scheduling and shift coverage rules. The current manual process is complex and hinders the department
by causing excessive staff hours to track, correct, update, publish, and communicate scheduling and staff
changes. The manual process allows many points of failure within the organization, and does not
integrate well with current systems.
City of Tukwila
System Expectations and Scope
The solution will provide a platform to support the City's Timekeeping/Staff Scheduling needs for the Fire
Department and potentially be expandable enough to meet the needs of other departments as well. The
solution must comply with these basic requirements:
• A cloud based interface utilizing the Software as a Service (SaaS) model, or a system that can
be deployed and managed on the City's Azure cloud.
• Web based solution with responsive design for records access and processing.
• Enterprise integration achieved through built-in configuration tools, APIs, standards based
ODBC and/or batch file processing.
• Ability to integrate with Financial system (Tyler's Eden), to include alignment with priority -
based budgeting requirements.
• Automate workflows to comply with business rules, notifications, and record requirements.
• Produce user defined reports that enable data point inquiry throughout the systems database
and inclusion of data elements from any tables therein.
• The potential to track work time entry to support cost tracking.
• Database manipulation through scripting to support mass update, insert, delete as well as
programming and data analysis.
• Azure Single Sign AD integration without ADFS.
The ideal vendor will have experience with implementing Timekeeping/Staff Scheduling solutions in mid-
size organizations with:
• Knowledge of Timekeeping/Staff Scheduling management best practices for municipal
organizations.
• Experience in developing integrated workflows for Time management and Vacation
request/Kelly day bidding.
• Experience with Fire Departments and Union regulations.
The project will include implementation and project management services including migration of data
from existing Enterprise systems and/or spreadsheets. The details and scope of the data migration will be
discussed as part of the vendor selection process and during demonstrations. It is strongly desired to
keep the initial implementation simple, taking advantage of out-of-the-box functionality whenever
possible. A more comprehensive set of requirements can be found in:
• Appendix A: Functional Requirements for Timekeeping/Staff Scheduling software
• Appendix B: Technical Specifications and Implementation Strategies
