Texas Conference of Urban Counties

The Texas Conference of Urban Counties (Urban Counties) is a non-profit organization composed of 35 counties that represent nearly 80% of the population of the State of Texas.  The member counties are combining their resources to undertake a number of information technology (IT) initiatives.  STA has assisted in establishing a project management office (PMO) for coordinating those initiatives.  Going forward, we will assist in operating the PMO.

The first of the Urban Counties’ joint IT initiatives is the development and deployment of an integrated justice information system (IJIS) that will serve the needs of each participating county and will be designed in such a way that information can be easily shared not only by the participating member counties but also with entities not using the shared system (e.g., state agencies of Texas, other states, federal entities, etc.).  The system will be based on state-of-the-art, open technologies that are Web-based and conducive to sharing information with a variety of systems over the Internet via XML in near-real-time.

We assisted in selection of a vendor to lead the design effort for the integrated justice system.  We facilitated the vendor-selection process by assisting with:

  • Preparing a request for offer (RFO);
  • Developing a vendor-evaluation process;
  • Evaluating and selecting a vendor;
  • Negotiating a contract; and
  • Providing independent project oversight.
