Consider executing a Professional Consulting Services Agreement with ByWater Solutions, LLC for
services related to the installation and implementation of Koha Integrated Library System.
This is a 12 -month agreement with Bywater Solutions LLC to provide professional consulting services
related to the installation and implementation of the Koha Integrated Library System. The service will be
delivered as a Software as a Service (SAAS) product in which Bywater Solutions provides the hosting,
support, and maintenance of the Koha ILS product.
Request for informal quotations for implementation of a new ILS system were sent out to six vendors.
Four of the six vendors provided responses. ByWater Solutions, LLC was selected by library staff as the
recommended provider.
The Koha ILS system is an open -source solution in which third party implementers, sponsoring libraries,
and the Koha community at large develop and maintain the ILS product. The open source delivery of the
software solution coupled with a vibrant community of users and developers offers flexibility in how the
product can be implemented and customized to fit each organization's needs. The City of Round Rock will
leverage Bywater Solutions' expertise in implementing, supporting, and customizing the open -source
Koha ILS system to meet the specific needs of the City of Round Rock's library system.
The initial go -live functionality that will be provided by the Koha ILS system will include the following:
• Cataloging: Professional Cataloging Interface for library staff to maintain bibliographic records
and create spine and barcode labels
• Public Catalog: Fully responsive, mobile friendly view of the library catalog for the public to
checkout catalog items, make purchase suggestions, register for a library card, receive library
notifications/ communication, and view account history
• Acquisitions: Manage budget, vendors, and place inventory orders
• Patrons: Manage patron records with search, batch processing, reporting, and rules
• Reporting: Complete access to all data stored in Koha with canned and custom reporting
