CITY COUNCIL MEMO
SUBJECT: Resolution to approve Bonfire Interactive, Ltd. to provide an electronic
bidding platform from the State of Arkansas Qualified Vendor List SP -19-0104
RECOMMENDATION:
A resolution to approve a contract with Bonfire Interactive, Ltd. (Bonfire), through SP -19-0104
issued by the Arkansas Office of State Procurement, to provide an electronic bidding software
solution to the City of Fayetteville for one year with four (4) automatic one (1) year renewals
including year one services composed of $19,000 and an annual renewal of $15,000 per
additional year with an annual maintenance increase of no more than 3%, plus a $2,000 project
contingency.
BACKGROUND:
Arkansas state law was modified in 2017 to allow municipalities to accept electronic media for
receiving bids. Act 1075 of the 2019 legislative session required public agencies desiring to
accept electronic bid submissions to utilize a vendor from the Qualified Vendor List selected as
part of a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) solicitation by the Office of State Procurement.
DISCUSSION:
Currently, the City only accepts sealed physically submitted paper bids in response to formal
solicitations the City advertises to the general public.
In 2019, the State of Arkansas, Office of State Procurement (OSP), issued a RFQ on behalf of
Public Agencies, using the procedures for the procurement of professional services under A.C.A.
§ 19-11-801 to select three (3) vendors to establish a Qualified Vendors List (QVL). Vendors
prequalified on the resultant QVL may contract with Public Agencies, as needed, to provide online
advertising and electronic bid submission of public works solicitations. The City of Fayetteville
Purchasing Division was represented in this selection process upon request by OSP.
City Staff including team members from the Purchasing and Information Technology Divisions
reviewed vendors on the QVL, researched software capability, participated in vendor
demonstrations, had in-depth discussions on functionality and vendor relationship management.
Bonfire was deemed to be in the best interest of the City for the following reasons, including but
not limited to:
Mailing Address:
113 W. Mountain Street www.fayetteville-ar.gov
Fayetteville, AR 72701
• Software solution providing economical and efficient administration
• Allows for online advertisement of notices on an intent to receive bids
• Cloud -based platform offers streamlined implementation
• 98% customer satisfaction rating with over 300 clients in North America
• Modernized procurement process designed to reduce the use of paper while allowing
vendor flexibility to submit documents online
• Instantly export complete summary reports for debriefs or audits
• Ongoing training for City Staff and Vendors
• Tool utilization to drive best value evaluations
• Vendor -friendly online portal to post opportunities, manage questions & answers, and
receive electronic submissions
• Simple vendor registration process & product support for vendors
• Flexible RFP evaluation workflows
• Custom-built evaluation tools for side-by-side comparison and price scenario analysis
• Automatic audit trails and dashboards for easy reporting
• Collaboration from across client base to enable learning from the experiences of other
public -sector agencies
• Easy reporting
• Process consistency and compliance assurance
• Competitive price
Partnering with Bonfire will enable the City of Fayetteville to reduce paper, streamline processes
for both internal City Staff and City Vendors. Procurement of the Bonfire software will improve
many processes for the Purchasing Division and bring the City up to modern practices commonly
conducted by public agencies nationwide.
BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT:
Funds are available for this software through the Information Technology Division's website
technical improvement project.

SCHEDULE B — SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT
Bonfire understands the importance and centrality the Platform Services plays in supporting an
organization's business processes. We value and appreciate the trust that each customer places
in us.
This Service Level Agreement ("SLA") is a policy governing the use of the Platform Services
between Bonfire ("us" or "we") and users of Platform Services ("you"). This SLA applies separately
to each Customer using the Plafform Services. Any amendments or revisions to this SLA will be
in writing and agreed to by both parties.
Bonfire is committed to providing reliable high-performance managed services to our customers.
Our SLA has been designed to ensure the highest quality service and to provide compensation to
the Customer in the event of failure to achieve the specified metrics herein.
a. Service Availability. Bonfire will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the
Platform Services available with a Monthly Uptime Percentage (defined below) of at
least 99.5% during any monthly billing period. In the event Bonfire does not meet the
Service Commitment, you will be eligible to receive a Service Credit as described
below.
b. Data Redundancy. Bonfire will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide at a
minimum one (1) redundant data store for Customer Data, updated on a daily basis,
during the period of the Term.
c. Data Storage Term. While there exists an SLA in place between the Customer and
Bonfire, Bonfire will use commercially reasonable efforts to store all Customer Data for
a period of nine (9) years from its creation date.
d. Data Exportation. Bonfire will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide (i) the
access or means for the Customer to export the Customer Data out of the Platform
Services or (ii) a comprehensive export of all Customer Data in downloadable Excel
and ZIP formats upon request.
a. Server Outage. A "Server Outage" is defined as an instance in which no traffic can
pass in or out of the Bonfire managed server(s) for more than 15 consecutive minutes
("Service Unavailable"). We will calculate the Service Unavailable for each Customer
as a percentage for each fifteen -minute period in the monthly billing cycle. The
calculation of the number of Server Outages will not include outages that arise directly
or indirectly as a result of any of the SLA Exclusions (as defined below).
b. Monthly Uptime Percentage. The "Monthly Uptime Percentage" is calculated by
subtracting from 100% the average of the Service Outage from each fifteen -minute in
the monthly cycle.
3. SERVICE CREDITS. "Service Credits" are calculated as a percentage of the total charges
paid by you to Bonfire for the billing cycle in which the error occurred in accordance with the
schedule below.
a. Service Credit Percentages:
OVA' 'Aill
• 11
Bonf ire' Terms & Conditions
Bonfire Interactive Ltd.
i. For Monthly Uptime Percentage equal to or greater than 99.0% but less
than 99.5% - Service Credit of 1 %
ii. For Monthly Uptime Percentage less than 99% -Service Credit Percentage
of 5%.
We will apply any Service Credits against future Bonfire payments otherwise due from you
unless there are none, in which case Service Credits will be refunded. A Service Credit will be
applicable and issued only if the credit amount for the applicable monthly billing cycle is greater
than one dollar ($1 United States Dollar). Service Credits may not be transferred or applied to
any other Customer.
4. SERVICE CREDIT PROCEDURE. To receive a Service Credit, you must submit a request by
sending an e-mail message to s ort . gnbonfire.com. To be eligible, the credit request must
(i) include your account URL in the subject of the e-mail message; (ii) include, in the body of
the e-mail, the dates and times of each incident of each outage; and (iii) be received by us
within ten (10) business days after the end of the billing cycle in which the errors occurred. If
the Monthly Uptime Percentage applicable to the month of such request is confirmed by us,
we will issue the Service Credit to you within one billing cycle following the month in which the
error occurred. Your failure to provide the request and other information as required above will
disqualify you from receiving a Service Credit.
5. SERVICE COMMITMENT EXCLUSIONS. The Service Commitment does not apply to any
unavailability, suspension, termination of Platform Services, or any other Platform Services
performance issues (i) that result from Downtime and Service Suspensions as defined below.
"Service Suspensions" means, collectively, Bonfire's right to suspend access to any portion
or all of the Platform Services at any time, on a Service -wide basis: (a) for scheduled Downtime
to permit us to conduct maintenance or make modifications to any Platform Service; (b) in the
event of a denial of service attack or other attack on the Platform Service or other event that
we determine, in our sole discretion, may create a risk to the applicable Platform Service, to
you or to any of our other customers if the Platform Service were not suspended; or (c) in the
event that we determine that any Platform Service is prohibited by law or we otherwise
determine that it is necessary or prudent to do so for legal or regulatory reasons To the extent
we are able, we will endeavour to provide you email notice of any Service Suspension and
email notice regarding resumption of Platform Services following any such suspension; (ii)
caused by factors outside of our reasonable control, including any force majeure event or
Internet access or related problems beyond the demarcation point of the Platform Services;
(iii) that result from any actions or inactions of you or any third party; (iv) that result from your
equipment, software or other technology and/or third party equipment, software or other
technology (other than third party equipment within our direct control); or (v) arising from our
suspension and termination of your right to use Platform Services in accordance with the terms
of the Agreement. If availability is impacted by factors other than those used in our calculation
of the Server Outage, we may issue a Service Credit considering such factors in our sole
discretion.

Services.] Bonfire shall have no liability respecting any IP Claim to the extent such Claim is

SCHEDULE B - SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT
Bonfire understands the importance and centrality the Platform Services plays in supporting an
organization's business processes. We value and appreciate the trust that each customer places
in us.
This Service Level Agreement ("SLA") is a policy governing the use of the Platform Services
between Bonfire ("us" or "we") and users of Platform Services ("you"). This SLA applies
separately to each Customer using the Platform Services. Any amendments or revisions to this
SLA will be in writing and agreed to by both parties.
Bonfire is committed to providing reliable high-performance managed services to our customers.
Our SLA has been designed to ensure the highest quality service and to provide compensation
to the Customer in the event of failure to achieve the specified metrics herein.
I. SERVICE COMMITMENT.
a. Service Availability. Bonfire will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the
Platform Services available with a Monthly Uptime Percentage (defined below) of at
least 99.5% during any monthly billing period. In the event Bonfire does not meet the
Service Commitment, you will be eligible to receive a Service Credit as described
below.
b. Data Redundancy. Bonfire will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide at a
minimum one (1) redundant data store for Customer Data, updated on a daily basis,
during the period of the Term.

d. Data Exportation. Bonfire will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide (i) the
access or means for the Customer to export the Customer Data out of the Platform

?. SERVICE AVAILABILITY DEFINITIONS.
a. Server Outage. A "Server Outage" is defined as an instance in which no traffic can
pass in or out of the Bonfire managed server(s) for more than 15 consecutive minutes
("Service Unavailable"). We will calculate the Service Unavailable for each Customer
as a percentage for each fifteen -minute period in the monthly billing cycle. The
calculation of the number of Server Outages will not include outages that arise directly
or indirectly as a result of any of the SLA Exclusions (as defined below).
b. Monthly Uptime Percentage. The "Monthly Uptime Percentage" is calculated by
subtracting from 100% the average of the Service Outage from each fifteen -minute
in the monthly cycle.
3. SERVICE CREDITS. "Service Credits" are calculated as a percentage of the total charges
paid by you to Bonfire for the billing cycle in which the error occurred in accordance with the
schedule below.
12
Bonfire Terms & Conditions
Bonfire Interactive Ltd.
a. Service Credit Percentages:
i. For Monthly Uptime Percentage equal to or greater than 99.0% but less
than 99.5% - Service Credit of 1 %
For Monthly Uptime Percentage less than 99% - Service Credit Percentage
of 5%.
We will apply any Service Credits against future Bonfire payments otherwise due from you
unless there are none, in which case Service Credits will be refunded. A Service Credit will
be applicable and issued only if the credit amount for the applicable monthly billing cycle is
greater than one dollar ($1 Canadian Dollar). Service Credits may not be transferred or applied
to any other Customer.
SERVICE CREDIT PROCEDURE. To receive a Service Credit, you must submit a request by
sending an e-mail message to support@gobonfire.com. To be eligible, the credit request must
(i) include your account URL in the subject of the e-mail message; (ii) include, in the body of
the e-mail, the dates and times of each incident of each outage; and (iii) be received by us
within ten (10) business days after the end of the billing cycle in which the errors occurred. If
the Monthly Uptime Percentage applicable to the month of such request is confirmed by us,
we will issue the Service Credit to you within one billing cycle following the month in which
the error occurred. Your failure to provide the request and other information as required above
will disqualify you from receiving a Service Credit.
SERVICE COMMITMENT EXCLUSIONS. The Service Commitment does not apply to any
unavailability, suspension, termination of Platform Services, or any other Platform Services
performance issues (i) that result from Downtime and Service Suspensions as defined below.
"Service Suspensions" means, collectively, Bonfire's right to suspend access to any portion
