Section 2: Project Objectives This RFP is issued by City of Missoula for the purpose of obtaining the services of an experienced firm to maintain and publish Missoula Municipal Code (MMC). It is the intent of the City of Missoula to review and assess the RFP responses to determine if the response from providers can meet the needs of the City of Missoula. Service providers are expected to provide their best and most competitive proposal.

Section 3: Scope of Work

Introduction and Scope of Project The City of Missoula (“City”) is seeking the services of an experienced Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) provider for codification and publication, code analysis and review, supplement services, electronic publishing, web hosting services, and the ability to expand to mobile technology for Missoula Municipal Code (MMC). The primary goal of this system is to streamline processes in order to make information available to internal users and the general public in a consistent manner.

mailto:[email protected]


Background The City currently codifies and publishes MMC in house. The City adopted, on average, 16 ordinances per year, from 2010 to 2014, that required codification. The City intends to initially codify our zoning code, Title 20, with the selected service provider and to bring other Missoula Municipal Code titles online with the successful service provider over the course of 2016-2017. An additional optional project is to update the annotations for the City’s former zoning code (repealed Title 19.) The project entails adding the ordinance numbers and year adopted for each affected section in Title 19. There are 9 ordinances which were adopted between 2004 and 2009 when Title 19 was repealed and Title 20 was established. Planning staff use the repealed code to research non-conforming zoning uses.

Titles and chapters must be maintained in a consistent format. Generally the City drafts ordinances specifying where each section is to be codified in municipal code. Codification instructions are frequently included in ordinances.

2 Formatting existing code: Codifier will ensure each title in the existing Missoula code is consistently formatted in a legible font. Paper copies of the code and supplements shall include sequential page numbers. Paper copies of the City’s zoning code--Title 20 and all supplements shall have a page numbering structure that lists the chapter number and the pages shall be numbered sequentially in each chapter beginning at page 1 and shall include a header listing the chapter number and the first section on the page. The printed version of Title 20 shall have its own index.

4 Printing and Binding: All Supplements and any copies of the entire code are to be printed on both sides of each page and are to be punched so they can be placed in standard three-hole binders.

sheet if necessary)

7 List of Ordinances not yet codified/Highlight of newly codified content: The codifier will maintain the list of ordinances that it has received but has not yet incorporated into the code. It is desirable if the codifier can show this information in the chapters of the code which have a pending ordinance to be codified so our customers will be aware of changes that haven’t yet been incorporated into the section they are reading. Once the ordinances are incorporated into the code, the codifier should have a function to show where the new content has been added.

15 Links to statutory references: The codifier will link to Montana state statutes cited in the code

16 Notes feature: There should be a feature allowing a customer to add notes to various sections of code. It’s very desirable to be able to control security on notes so that a Zoning Officer opinion or Legal Opinion could be shown to other users, but personal notes are viewable only the person who created them.

17 Favorites feature: The codifier should provide a way that our customers can mark sections of municipal code they refer to often. Favorites should be viewable only to the person who created them.

18 Drafting feature: The codifier should provide a method city staff can use to easily draft new legislation based on current language in municipal code. The City prefers drafting ordinances using Microsoft Word.

It is highly desirable that the code be in a Microsoft Word document format. The electronic copy shall be provided at no additional cost to the City. The City has unrestricted rights to use and distribute the electronic copy of the Code for use by others.

23 Share/Email/Print/Download functionality: The codifier should include a feature to allow our customers to share, e-mail, print and/or download portions of the code. We’d prefer to have this functionality at the title, chapter and section level.
