DESCRIPTION
The city is seeking a fully cloud-hosted, cloud-to-cloud backup and recovery solution for its Google Workspace environment. The solution must support Google Workspace email (Gmail), Google Drive, and Google Chat data without requiring on-premises hardware, local storage, or associated maintenance.
The solution should support legal compliance, e-discovery, legal holds, public records requests, and strict 10-year data-retention policies, including continuous backup and retention of deleted items. It should provide a searchable and reliable data repository, enable rapid restoration or transfer of backed-up data, and reduce the administrative effort required to locate, export, and restore files and emails.
Required capabilities include an administrator dashboard showing backup status, system health, and storage utilization; advanced organization-wide search for documents, emails, and attachments; automated continuous backups for Gmail and Google Drive; and the ability to restore data directly to a specified user account without disrupting normal staff workflows. Vendor questions must be submitted by August 20, 2026.
