GENERAL INFORMATION
A. INTRODUCTION CalSTRS, with a portfolio valued $191.2 billion as of March 31, 2015, is the largest educator-only pension fund in the United States. CalSTRS administers a hybrid retirement system, consisting of traditional defined benefit, cash balance and voluntary defined contribution plans. CalSTRS also provides disability and survivor benefits. CalSTRS serves California’s 868,000 public school educators and their families from the state’s 1,600 school districts, county offices of education and community college districts. CalSTRS operates under sections of the California Education Code known as the Teachers’ Retirement Law, which established the State Teachers’ Retirement Plan with CalSTRS as the administrator. The purpose of this RFO is to select one (1) experienced senior level Technical Manager with knowledge of technical architecture and technical project management to assist CalSTRS in realizing its future-state pension solution that conforms to the software industry standards and best practices through all phases of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). One of the key objectives is to ensure the new pension solution is technically architected and designed properly in order to ensure long term sustainability and supportability. To accomplish this objective, the successful candidate must possess in-depth technical knowledge and expertise in all areas of requirements elicitation, application design, documentation, implementation, maintenance, and management. The successful candidate must also ensure that requirements are met and deliverable products comply with the IT enterprise architecture and business needs. The purpose of the Senior Technical Manager position is to protect CalSTRS’ best interests by working and collaborating closely with CalSTRS project management team as well as with the pension solution implementer and third party contractors. The goal is to ensure the pension solution implementer and third party contractors have done their due diligence in managing the project and in producing project deliverables and artifacts that meet CalSTRS’ quality expectations in a timely manner. You may submit one (1) proposed project person for this RFO. The services required are described in Exhibit A, Statement of Work included in this document. The selected Contractor/contract project person is responsible for any travel costs they may incur while providing the services identified in the Statement of Work. All work must be performed on-site at the CalSTRS headquarter facility in West Sacramento, CA. The total services period may be up to sixty (60) months, with an estimated average of 175 work hours per month. The proposed project person selected as a result of this RFO will be a core member of the CalSTRS Pension Solution Project Management team, which will be collectively accountable to the BusinessRenew Executive Officer, while being matrixed to the CalSTRS’ Chief Technology Officer (CTO) or designee. B. BACKGROUND CalSTRS is embarking on an effort to replace its current pension administration system, START. START is the custom-built pension administration system that CalSTRS currently uses to manage and administer the State Teachers’ Retirement Plan for employers, members, participants and their beneficiaries. Its functions include, but are not limited to, contribution reporting and collections, crediting service, member demographic information maintenance, service credit purchases, benefit application processing, benefit calculation, benefit payroll, third party deductions and disbursements, tax reporting, receivables and collections, correspondence and statement generation, and event tracking. In addition, the system supplies extracted data to a data mart that is used for actuarial purposes. CalSTRS has also implemented the SAP Enterprise Resource Planning software. This software provides general ledger, investment accounting, accounts payable, accounts receivable, asset management, travel management, cash management, supplier management, cost accounting and project accounting functions. The Pension Solution Implementation Project is currently in the procurement stage for the selection of the new pension solution and the implementation contractor. CalSTRS expects the future-state pension solution will encompass all aforementioned functionalities. CalSTRS approach for this project is to have CalSTRS technical resources work closely with the implementation contractor early and on-going through-out the projected five (5) year implementation effort.
