    FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION Procurement Section 3800 Commonwealth Boulevard, MS#93 Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3000 February 19, 2016 Addendum To: DEP RFI No. 2016033C, entitled “Point of Sale System” The Department hereby answers questions posed by prospective Respondents. Unless expressly indicated, these answers do not amend the terms of the Request for Information (RFI). The Department hereby answers the following questions: 1. Is managing the schedule of reservations within the scope of this project, or is this simply for accepting payment for the reservations? Answer #1: Neither of these items is within the scope of this project. The POS will need to function with the existing reservation system on contract, ReserveAmerica, which already schedules and accepts payments for the reservations. 2. Can you provide a list of current vendors that require integration, as well as the intended purpose of the integration? Answer #2: The current vendors that the POS System will need to integrate with are the ReserveAmerica reservation system and the State Contract for Credit Card Processing Services with Bank of America. The intended purpose is for the Department to provide a real-time dashboard, showing data related to revenue, attendance, annual pass use, etc. at a Park, District and Statewide level. 3. Is there an expected method of integration to the State Finance and Accounting systems? Answer #3: Yes, at minimum, data will need to “connect” to the State Finance and Accounting systems through an electronic data file (i.e. Excel or CSV document with specific formatting). Data will need to be integrated at minimum on a monthly basis, but the Department’s ultimate goal is to have real-time data available.

    Change Your Latitude Where is MARGARITAVILLE? It’s in the tropics somewhere between the Port of Indecision and Southeast of Disorder, but no parallels of latitude or longitude mark the spot exactly. You don’t have to be a navigator to get there. Palm trees provide the camouflage, ocean breezes bring the seaplanes and sailboats, tourists and travelers. Passports are not required. Island music rules. No waiting in lines for anything. There is a beach and a thatched roof bar perched on the edge of the turquoise sea where you can always find a bar stool. There are lots of lies and loads of stories. It’s a comical concoction that blends together like tequila, salt and limes. Where is Margaritaville? It’s in your mind.
