General: The Texas Facilities Commission manages over fourteen (14) million square feet of state-owned properties including office spaces, storage areas, warehouses, schools, medical labs, parking lots, and garages throughout the state.

Any resulting software capability is intended to serve as a decision-support tool for TFC within their current statutory role and is not intended to establish new regulatory authority, policy-making functions, or ongoing service obligations beyond those already assigned to and resourced by TFC. Purpose: The purpose of this RFI is to solicit information from certified software vendors, resellers, and implementers on: Capabilities of commercially available capital planning software. Typical licensing, pricing, and implementation models for such software. Typical support model, staffing and budgetary needs to maintain the solution. Recommendations on how the State of Texas should approach implementation to ensure complete functionality. Common challenges to avoid when selecting and implementing this type of software.
