please reply to *[email protected]* *One (1) Senior Pacbase Programmer/Analyst*
*Location: Columbus,OH* *Duration: 1 year* * * Senior Programmer Analysts (Consultants) to support the move of the *Pacbase Vehicle Registration System* *(VRS)* from its current mainframe environment. This will be accomplished by *replatforming the Pacbase* *generated Common Business-Oriented Language (COBOL) to Fujitsu COBOL for Visual Studio (VS) .NET* *Framework execution in a Windows Server environment*. While most of the remaining work is in the VRS, some assignments may support the similar migration of the Driver License System (DLS). The project will require the Consultant to work approximately *two thousand five* *hundred (2,500) hours in Fiscal Year (FY) 2012.* *The Consultant may be required to* *work more than forty (40) hours per week.* * * This Agreement is to be effective from *receipt of a purchase order through June 30, 2012*. If intending to renew this Agreement, the ODPS shall give written notice to Independent Contractor prior to expiration. Upon mutual agreement of both parties, and contingent upon appropriation of such funds by the General Assembly, such renewal shall begin be from, *July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013*.** * * *Background:* *The Information Technology Office (ITO) is engaged in an effort to migrate all processing from the Unisys* *2200 Mainframe*. The largest part of the overall effort is moving the mainframe applications written in Pacbase. *Pacbase is the Computer Assisted Software Engineering (CASE) product that houses the* *business rules and generates the program code that supports the Central DLS and VRS(s).* IBM support for Pacbase ends in 2015. Both the VRS and DLS were written in Pacbase. The VRS is a collection of vehicle data, owner/operator information, registration data, vehicle inspection data, mail registration information and the programs that maintain all of that data on vehicles licensed for operation by the State of Ohio. The VRS information interfaces with the Deputy Registrar’s Business Applications Support System (BASS), Ohio Public Licensing Access through Electronic Services (OPLATES); Mail Registration System, Automated Title Processing System (ATPS) and the Vehicle Registration Correction System (VRCS). All of these systems retrieve information from VRS and provide updated information back to VRS as a part of the registration renewal process. Updates are currently processed in batch mode. Registration data is extracted by various means to provide vehicle registration data to governmental agencies, law enforcement agencies, private entities and individuals. The DLS is the collection of driver personal information coupled with driver performance data in the form of Convictions, Suspensions, Notes (e.g., medical) and Accident Data. Driver license data is fed and utilized by numerous other governmental and private entities. While the primary focus will be the VRS, assignments may include work on the DLS. *Specifications* *2.1 Scope of Work:* This Scope of Work (SOW) is for the consulting services required to extend the capability of the ODPS staff by executing the steps required to move the Pacbase code using the Fujitsu Compiler to enable the compiled code to successfully execute in a Windows Server environment. *The Pacbase applications will* *move to a Windows environment by changing the Pacbase COBOL Compiler.* *Keystrata like to secure the services of one (1) Senior Programmer Analyst (Consultant) to work on* *this migration effort. *The Consultants will work with and under the direction of staff, specifically a section supervisor or a systems analyst to perform tasks to migrate the VRS processing from the mainframe. *The major tasks of the Consultants will include:* 2.1.1 Migrate, modify and or debug COBOL programs to switch Compilers. 2.1.2 Write and modify Pacbase code. 2.1.3 Perform unit and system testing. 2.1.4 Write document per instruction. 2.1.5 Support user acceptance testing. 2.1.6 Assist the business area in updating data conditions. 2.1.7 Plan and execute data migration (including data mapping, migration and validation work). 2.1.8 Plan and execute the implementation of the systems. 2.1.9 Perform post-implementation support. 2.1.10 Assist in the resolution of all anomalies in processing. 2.1.11 Write and run scans to assist in problem identification.** * * *2.2 Mandatory Requirements and Qualifications:* The Offeror shall provide a Senior Pacbase Programmer/Analyst (Consultant) that will work onsite at the ODPS (Shipley Building), 1970 W.
