REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP)

To Participate in a Proof of Concept for an IT Application Development Platform

Introduction The New York City Housing Development Corporation (NYC HDC) is the nation’s largest municipal Housing Finance Agency and is charged with helping to finance the creation and preservation of affordable housing under Mayor Bill de Blasio’s Housing New York plan. Since 2003, HDC has financed more than 150,000 housing units. HDC ranks among the nation’s top issuers of mortgage revenue bonds for affordable multi-family housing on Thomson Reuter’s annual list of multi-family bond issuers.

NYC HDC is seeking proposals for a no-cost Proof of Concept for the redesign and development of the Housing Developer Intake Form (currently known as the New Financing Application) along with the high-level design and development of the Development Pipeline Process. NYC HDC wants the vendor to design, develop, and launch a data entry application platform that incorporates best practices in design functionality and data modeling. NYC HDC welcomes both traditional and non-traditional solutions, including low code or no code development platforms.

Business Application Overview The Affordable Housing Development Pipeline Process tracks affordable housing development projects from the initial intake of a developer/project information to the creation of the Pipeline Report. Data entered through the pipeline will eventually be the input to several downstream HDC systems including, but are not limited to, Loan Servicing and Asset Management. The current Affordable Housing Development Pipeline Process is a manual process that involves the New Financing Application, and a series of Excel spreadsheets. The existing process causes duplication in data entry, inconsistent data and only allows for rudimentary reporting and no forecasting/analysis capabilities. The process needs to be streamlined and, in parallel, a logical data model needs to be defined along with the data warehouse. NYC HDC wants to begin the redesign of the Affordable Housing Development Pipeline Process by creating the Housing Developer Intake Form as the first step.

In the current business process workflow, these are represented by the following steps:

The objective is to utilize the POC to pilot and choose a solution that NYC HDC can then purchase and use to develop the rest of the business process workflow.

Page 3 of 19

We are looking for vendors willing to build the POC application free of charge for us to evaluate. NYC HDC will then decide whether to purchase the tools and/or professional services. We do not require the POC to be built as part of the proposal; rather the strategy, design, tools and thought process for building the POC. The vendor is welcome to do a quick prototype for the proposal, but it is not a requirement.

NYC HDC will select the vendor and tool/method that is best qualified, and we will then engage in the full POC with that single vendor. Once the POC is built, NYC HDC will decide whether to proceed further with the vendor or go back to the number 2 ranked vendor.

A successful POC will have, at a minimum, the following components:

• The Housing Developer Intake Form

• Integration: Exporting data from the form into a database/data warehouse structure as described above as well as exporting data from the database into an Excel template (format TBD)

• Reporting: Capabilities within the tool itself or integration with a reporting tool such as Power BI, OBIEE

• Workflows: Decision points in the POC with review and approval steps

• User permission/access level handling

• Strategy for how to design, develop and implement the rest of the business process workflow, beyond the Development Pipeline process

Logical Data Model The high-level future state logical data model below shows the relationships between the major data entities that NYC HDC uses.

Logical Data Model

The best practice design of the data model is crucial to NYC HDC. Data and analytic capabilities are believed to be the single most impactful area where NYC HDC IT can provide value to their users. NYC HDC wants to bring life to data and reports through rich visualizations that closely mirror NYC HDC’s business mission. This includes user driven capabilities around dashboards and reports.

While the design of the future data model is not a requirement for the POC, NYC HDC wants the vendors to take it to consideration as part of the proposal particularly in terms of putting together the strategy for the design, development and implementation of the business process workflow.

Proposal Requirements NYC HDC is looking to review proposals from potential vendors that include the following requirements. Please include the following in your proposal response:

• Overview of your company • Overview of how you will meet our objectives • Explanation of your proposed platform • Outline of your data entry platform, reporting design and development strategy • High level design of the rest of the pipeline • Plan for integration with existing systems • Plan for how to establish the building blocks of the data warehouse • Details about your team • Recent design and development examples • References • Any key differentiators about you • Pricing with optional elements line-itemed • Terms and conditions

2. Minority and Women Owned Business Enterprise (MWBE) NYC HDC is dedicated to furthering the participation of minority and women-owned businesses in its work. All respondents are urged to include in their proposals methods for facilitating the participation in the project of businesses that have been certified by the New York City Department of Small Business Services (“SBS”) as women or minority owned. This can take any form a Respondent considers appropriate including, but not limited to, proposals intended to ensure the utilization of certified minority and women-owned businesses as subcontractors or as joint-venture partners. In addition, proposals from minority and women-owned respondents are encouraged.

3. New York City Location

a. State whether the firm maintains its headquarters, or other offices, in New York City, and the number of the firm’s employees who are employed in New York City. Describe the firm’s commitment to its location in New York City. Since January 1, 2017, has the firm relocated any employees from offices in New York City to locations outside New York City? Does the firm have any plans to relocate any employees or offices outside of New York City in the next two years?

b. Describe the firm’s corporate citizenship and commitment to The City of New York, including local procurement of goods and services, development or participation in internship programs or scholarships, corporate philanthropy, specifically in the areas of housing and community development, and policies with regards to the use of women-owned, minority-owned and small business enterprises.

4. Local Law 34 Compliance Pursuant to Local Law 34 of 2007, amending the City’s Campaign Finance Law, the City is required to establish a computerized database containing the names of any “Person” that has business dealings with the “City” as such terms are defined in the Local Law.

four (4) calendar days to cure the specified deficiencies. Failure to do so will result in your proposal being deemed incomplete and therefore non-responsive.

5.

Senior ManagersPlease fill in the required identification information for all senior managers who oversee any of the entity's relevant transactions with the City (e.g., contract managers if this form is for a contract award/proposal, grant managers if for a grant, etc.). Senior managers include anyone who, either by title or duties, has substantial discretion and high-level oversight regarding the solicitation, letting or administration of any transaction with the City. At least one senior manager must be listed, or the Data Form will be considered incomplete. If a senior manager has been identified on a previous page, fill in his/her name and write "See above." If the entity is filing a Change Form, list individuals who are no longer senior managers at the bottom of this section. If more space is needed, attach additional pages labeled "Additional Senior Managers."
