The Superior Court of California, County of San Francisco is seeking to develop a partnership with a company with proven electronic filing experience to integrate with San Francisco Superior Court’s existing electronic filing solution in Complex Civil Integrated Justice System (IJS) as well as integrate with the Court’s Document Management capabilities for electronic filing. IJS is on a Windows platform. The Court seeks to provide an effective electronic filing solution for Civil case types which increases efficiency and productivity for all those participating. Currently Civil filings exceed 375,000 per year and if we include other departments we anticipate over 571,000 new and subsequent filings. The Court reserves the right to determine case type(s) and volume(s) to be processed in discussions with the Contractor, if a contract is awarded. If your company has a minimum or a maximum processing volume it must be addressed in the Technical Proposal as noted in the instructions.
The Proposer must be able to comply with statewide electronic filing standards (2GEFS) and any extensions required to support the Court’s initiative. Proposer must deploy and support an easy to use Internet-based portal that supports both free-form pleadings and forms based filings and provide support to users of the system (e.g. Subscribers & Court Staff). The Court expects the company to collect online payments and electronically transmit filing fees per Court established interface protocols; provide Legal Services (e.g. Service of Process) and provide other value-added services to users (e.g. Intelligent/Assistive Forms, Public Access to Court Documents, Application Development for Specialized Filer Needs).
Finally, the successful proposer will provide easy fee billing services and a quality and cost-effective service to filers and participate in a Court-established cost recovery methodology, which may include an invoicing component by Court to Contractor. Only electronic copies of the RFP are available; you must email your request for a copy to the Court’s contact person for documentation purposes.
