PROJECT OVERVIEW
This section should provide a brief synopsis of the project/requirements.
The section should include an overview of the project to include such things as anticipated project start and end dates,
administering agency, any other pertinent information.
DMV Intent and Modernization Background:
The Prime Directive
The prime directive of this RFP is to clearly step out an integral informational roadmap that will allow an
informative group of solution vendors and integration specialists to digest and present a best of class response
as to the specifics as to what the Nevada DMV requires to purchase a complete systemic (IT) overhaul.
The Desired Response
The responses must treat and improve on the current methods as to how DMV manages its business. The
responses must elaborate the proposed reduction or eradication of, where possible, manual processes and record
keeping, unless otherwise mandated by business continuity constraints. Where possible the proposals must also
demonstrate where the transition from a manual to automated work-flow optimizes the business requirements.
Lastly the proposals must demonstrate the deployment of fully automated and consolidated transparent services,
providing customer secure best-in-class products and services.
Absorbing Legislative Mandates
The DMV will present a list of future features that it is challenged to implement, should the legislature agree,
where these modernizations must be designed as placeholders should the law change. Some examples would be
the enlarging of the PII dataset by the inclusion of fingerprints on the driver license or the discrete collection
and storing of phenotyping for each unique customer profile. The Nevada DMV is a mature yet forward
thinking organization that is fully prepared to enter the era of fast paced technology development and business
evolution.
Business Approach
This RFP sets out a framework to promote a seamless approach to business and technology capability
integration. The RFP does not dictate the technology components only the environments such as SOA and
MDM, standards and capabilities required; where the approach is to define the WHAT not the HOW. With that
in mind the DMV requires a system that will meet above all the desired business evolution coherently and
cohesively. This direction must be mirrored in the solution vendor responses.
Risk Management
The DMV will institute a security principled risk management policy which will be based on a future
repurposed DMV master security model based on the concept of an enterprise within an enterprise.
This RFP will require the vendor to tackle future risk by raising the security bar from minimum to maximum
requirements based on the inclusion of additional international, U.S. federal government and recognized
institutional security measures and standards enhancing the Nevada state security standard. Unfortunately due
to the current cyber threats and vulnerabilities minimum tolerances are no longer acceptable.
The proposed legacy modernization transition is an opportunity to ensure a sustainable and leading edge risk
mitigated environment. The selected solution vendor must present the most holistic assurances that stem any
and all vulnerabilities from an end-to-end architectural perspective.
This RFP though focusing on technology modernization and the benefits from social networking, mobility and
clouds will emphasize the absolute need for enhancing security countermeasures and assurances based on
current measurable and immeasurable threats and vulnerabilities.

PROJECT OVERVIEW
This section should provide a brief synopsis of the project/requirements.
The section should include an overview of the project to include such things as anticipated project start and end dates,
administering agency, any other pertinent information.
The High Bar
Attaining zero tolerant security is the intended goal of this RFP. This aim alone is the most compelling goal for
government and the private sector related to the stewardship of sensitive and private information in our
technology age. Indiscriminate criminal and malicious hacking has reached new unforeseen heights and more
advanced elements such as Anonymous have successfully breached internets, extranets and intranets that were
once thought of as safe government organizations as well as wealthy institutions in the public sector. As we see
on the international front line cyber-attacks are beginning to be thought of a serious act of malicious aggression,
if not close to an act of terrorism.
DMV though requiring zero tolerance also recognizes that zero tolerance for security risk is doubly problematic
in an environment in which information must be shared. There is a recognized deep and unavoidable tension
between information sharing and information security. The solution vendor’s responses must allow the DMV to
evaluate the mechanisms that mitigate this tension, some being unavoidable, in order that senior DMV
leadership can decide what degree of security risk is acceptable and under what circumstances in return for the
advantages of broad based information sharing.
Without doubt the DMV’s information systems are prime targets for internal and external threats; nevertheless,
the only approach that truly provides ZERO risk is one that destroys all information as soon as it is collected or
that otherwise makes information entirely inaccessible to anyone1
.
Irreproachable Stewardship
The DMV as an agency is additionally the steward of the consummate intellectual property that has become the
PII record of every documented citizen of Nevada that has applied for an identity card and the driver license.
The proposed new DMV system will ensure that PII is a collection of unique properties of identification that
only pertain to one individual; no duplicates are acceptable. It is therefore the prime function and responsibility
of DMV to ensure the uniqueness, security and integrity of this information.
In order to secure PII DMV has defined a requirement for a vault-type security model in its reference
architecture. The vault or bar-code repository must be de-coupled from any other agency interface and that any
publication to other agencies, internally or with the DMV customer will be handled within the prescribed
boundaries of this maximum security model.
Caution as a Best Practice
Therefore the Nevada DMV in this RFP will take the most cautionary approach in line with zero tolerance
verses the current and evolving threats; anything less being unacceptable. In order to accomplish this risk-
averse strategy the DMV, as set out in this RFP is highly motivated to building its own secure enterprise that
would be seamless within the existing state enterprise, yet still working hand in hand with EITS; being
transparent where necessary. This is further outlined in the security section of this RFP.
Optimizing Time through Agility
Competing vendors must be acutely aware that the time projected to complete the technology transition falls
within a five year program. Where possible the main business of the DMV should be optimized by being
brought on line iteratively rather than in a waterfall process. Therefore the vendor propositions must somehow
manage the constantly evolving and competing technologies.

PROJECT OVERVIEW
This section should provide a brief synopsis of the project/requirements.
The section should include an overview of the project to include such things as anticipated project start and end dates,
administering agency, any other pertinent information.
The initial technology offering must attain a steady state of equilibrium, factoring in the most collaborative and
ready to market solutions. The solution vendors must also plan for the inclusion of new technology where
appropriate, where new apps are secure, easily integrated and certified.
Critical Path
This RFP addresses the critical path and challenging infrastructural predicament the DMV as an organization
finds itself in. The DMV in this RFP has decided to present a more business centric view of its organization
aspiring to attract the right mix of best-in-breed technologies to replace the security and economic risks
involved by continuing to operate a legacy environment that is long overdue for an overhaul. The legacy
technology currently in production that maintains DMV services has eclipsed its usefulness and the DMV’s
ability to support an old COBOL language environment at a low cost has sunset. The continued addition of
enhancements on top of an original 40 year old legacy as well as repeated attempts to wrap the legacy and add a
more modern façade has reached the point of no return. DMV must now rapidly ascertain the point of least
resistance to work its way out of the legacy through modernization.
Equilibrium
The strategic aim of this RFP is to secure the desired state of systemic overhaul equilibrium, yet still observing
conventional wisdom to manage risk. For all outside appearances the DMV will continue to maintain its current
services per the legislative record to date. This RFP unveils the proposed modernization process. As this legacy
modernization process matures into the planning stage the hope is that the selected vendor will be on hand to
inform and assist the legislative body to visualize how leading edge technology may improve future service
capabilities, reduces costs and manage risk.
DMV Heavy Load & Burden
The Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) currently does business with over two million people a
year, which could possibly reach three and a half to five million in five years. Today DMV also manages at
least 15% of the State operating revenues. With increased system efficiency and optimized workflow the new
DMV system could improve the collection of revenues by merely balancing the books and in all probability
could markedly surpass the collectable revenues currently reported annually. With the current and
unforeseeable fluctuation in U.S. and global economics, the changes in immigration flux, birthrates, migrations
from high costs of living and urban saturation, the opportunities for new technology parks such as the Tesla
move to Nevada, it is still unrealistic however to project meaningful statistics beyond 2020. Therefore the high
end requirement capacities to handle increased data, data traffic, transactions, security as well as increased
online and mobile access can only be projected for the future based on the current demographic data forecasts
available.
DMV Today & Tomorrow
Today the DMV is a broad and diverse enterprise agency that not only issues driver licenses, registers vehicles,
and produces vehicle titles, it manages motor carrier permits including the collection of fuel taxes as well as
issuing a limited amount of small business licenses. This markedly differentiates the Nevada DMV from its
other State DMV agencies. Even though the Public Safety sector has recently been spun off from the original
DMV organization, the DMV today still maintains and transmits a considerable quantity of Personally
identifiable information or PII (as used in U.S. privacy law and information security, is information that can be
used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single person, or to identify an
individual in context) pertaining to law enforcement, the judiciary and public health that under no circumstances
can this information be compromised by the new system. The DMV currently interacts with more customers
than any other State agency and produces the most important government secure identity for the State of

Nevada; the identity card and the driver license.
The People of DMV
This project is not just about technology and computers; it is really about the dedicated DMV civil servants who
are asked to perform a rigorous task on outdated equipment. It is about their futures and careers; it is also about
making the customers of the DMV feel that their state taxes are being well spent, that there is true
accountability and that the DMV services that the state offers are of the highest quality and will attain to
become one of the best DMV agency models in the nation.
Special Instructions
Contract award is dependent on legislative funding and Board of Examiners (BOE) approval. Upon funding
and BOE approval, the project is anticipated to start on or before October 1, 2014 and end by June 30, 2020.
Transformation
The DMVfully intends to radically move away from the legacy constrained BPM model that it currently
endures by deploying its technology on a mainframe “Z” architecture platform. The current product layer
encompasses a broad and highly diverse product array. Due to the inherent architecture from the maiframe
Z/OS even with modern wrappers the stovepipe model is unavoidable as even web services inherit the initial
segregation of services based on the mainframe LPAR internal structure.

DMV - Current State Legacy BPM
Transformation Scope
The intended transformation will vastly improve the BPM integrating once separated services and products into
a seamless dynamic optimized supply and value chain BPM. The Vendor’s architecture must address this
transformation and apply the dynamics needed to fully integrate the BPM. Additionally the BPM model must
evolve from a 2D presentation of data to a 3D presentation of business intelligence. Below are the major
thresholds to overhaul presented at the enterprise level. The vendor will find the component layer more
explicitly described in the function requirements later on in this RFP.
Intended Division of Labor
The DMV’s organizational aspirations are, where possible, to create a seamless and cohesive set of enterprise
services. The major enterprises of the intended system for the purpose of this RFP are expressed as services
driven by a business process layer of requirements as detailed in the appendices (???) of this RFP. The major
DMV services are, but not limited to, tax collection, finance, document control, customer relationship,
eligibility determination, privilege issuance, secure stewardship, public safety and public education.
The Process and Service layers shall be managed from a business intelligence driven DMV governance and
compliance management to be developed from metric driven service level agreements and service level
objectives as determined in appendix III. The binding force of the intended processes and services shall be the
BPM layer, or in its technology form the ESB. The protection of DMV assets will be managed from a zero-
tolerance security model.

Finance
The DMV intends to completely overhaul its concepts of core GL financal model ensuring financial compliance
and increased automation within the integrated core finance processes.
The DMV shall require an intuitive and user friendly portal managing a transaction based GL reporting and
revenue distribution system that interfaces with the State Treasurer and State Controller. The DMV will
continue to collect revenues in the same form as it does today; at the counter, on line or mailed in, reserving the
possibility, as secure interfaces mature, to adopt newer forms, such as Apple-Pay™ for example.
The new GL hub will be required to better optimize current resources and streamline financial operations,
complying with the State Accounting Policies and Procedures as well as all Nevada statutes as they relate to
revenue collection and distribution, including but not limited to financial reporting requirements.
The intended GL system shall plan to streamline and automate financial operations with the State Treasurer and
State Controller while complying with state regulations. The DMV GL portal will deliver core financial
business intelligence to gain real-time insight into overall performance within US GAAP and State standards.
Additionally the core financial process shall integrate processes from various applications for a single version of
financial truth operating in multiple geographies in Nevada.

interchange by delivering a dynamic customer relationship management (CRM) portal as well as radically
redesigning the business processes to achieve dramatic improvements in organizational performance. DMV
requires that CRM refers to not only to the software application but the business strategy as well and the vendor
shall make every attempt to ensure a homogenous enablement of both to ensure ease of maintenance of
unpredictable adaptations of the business process and its subsequent deployment. The DMV shall require a
CRM that includes methods, strategies, software and network capabilities that vastly improve the DMV to
resource manage and organize its counter and online relationships with its customers from issuance to audit.
The CRM shall allow the dynamic collection and distribution of data into all the core business areas. The CRM
system must be a readily maintainable implementation of reliable interactive systems processes and procedures.
Sustainability
DMV additionally has aspirations to meet sustainability to enforce protective measures on the environment.
DMV requires to implement a rule based electronic document and template managed library system creating as
much of a paperless environment where hard copy documents are not required; barring what is mandated by law
and constrained by disaster recovery needs. Unavoidably, some paper forms will still remain outside of the
systemic environment until legislative changes are made in the future.

BACKGROUND - PROJECT
Describe the history and reasons behind the project.
In 1999, DMV rolled out the current client-server application to replace the legacy Green screen application that
ran on Honeywell Bull system. The current client-server application supports statewide motor vehicles business
functions including but not limited to Vehicle Registration, Titling, Commercial and non-Commercial Driver
Licensing, Occupational Business Licensing, Insurance Verification, etc. The current client-server application is
composed of desktop PowerBuilder application that provides intuitive Graphical User Interface, ASP.NET web
applications, and COBOL/CICS/DB2 application that runs on System Z.
Though the current application integrates several core business functions, DMV continues to rely on few vendor
provided legacy applications to provide services. The number of manual processes and procedures that are
employed to address limitations in the current system is on the rise.
The current architecture inhibits our ability to be nimble, proactive and agile. Consequently, the time to
implement newer projects mandated by legislature and the Federal Government has been on the rise. The
current system limits DMV’s ability to adapt and offer modern services that citizens expect. As a result, the
backlog of enhancements and fixes requested has been steadily climbing. The amount of backlog is currently
estimated to be 7 years’ worth.

BACKGROUND - AGENCY
Describe the agency’s organization and functional units; office locations;
staffing, etc., including relationship to current project.
The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is a multi-divisional organization which provides vehicle and
driving industry products and services to Nevada citizens, state agencies, and internal customers. DMV
business is transacted through 18 office locations in Northern and Southern Nevada. The DMV includes the
Director’s office and seven divisions.
The Director's Office (which includes Public Information and Hearings Offices) establishes policy for the
department and directs and controls the operations of the agency. The Director's Office handles all media
inquiries through the Public Information Officers. Additionally, department policies and procedures,
information security and the personnel and training units fall under the responsibility of this office.
The Public Information Officer interacts directly with the public and act as a liaison with other Public
Information Officers and officials from federal, state, local and non-governmental organizations. The
PIO coordinates and scripts press releases and public service announcements to promote alternative
services offered by the Department and create informational flyers, posters, brochures and videos as
requested by the Director or Deputy Director. The PIO also performs as the public relations officer;
providing marketing communication and public program strategy oversight; manages the public
relations and information program for the Department on a statewide basis; writes media releases,
newsletters, and informational brochures; produces audiovisual presentations and photography duties.
The Hearings Office provides due process hearings to any person aggrieved by a decision of the
Department. Generally, these hearings concern the suspension, revocation, or cancellation of a privilege
license issued by the Department, such as a driver's license or a license to conduct business involving

motor vehicles. The decisions of the administrative law judges assigned to the Office may impact the
lives and property of thousands of Nevadans. For this reason, the Office strives to conduct all hearings
in a timely, fair, and impartial manner and in accordance with the provisions in the Nevada
Administrative Procedures Act, Chapter 233B. The Office is supported primarily from Highway Fund
revenues.
Under the general direction of the Director, Deputy Director and Chief Information Security Officer, the
Information Security Officer is responsible for the development and delivery of a comprehensive
information security and privacy program for the department of Motor Vehicles. The scope of the
program concentrates on state wide oversight of physical and cyber security of all DMV assets,
including heavily integrated affiliations with other state agencies, federal agencies, and private sector
entities.
The purpose of this program includes but is not limited to: the protection of all IT and human assets
while ensuring that all information and data created, generated acquired, maintained and disseminated
by the department is safeguarded and used for its intended purpose; to protect the department’s
information, personnel and infrastructure from all forms of internal and external threats; assure the
department complies with statutory and regulatory requirements regarding information access, security,
privacy and dissemination; and to provide strategic and tactical input, design and oversight for the next
generation of the agencies product and service infrastructure.
Each division within the Department administers several programs. The divisions and examples of administered
programs are as follows:
Central Services Division (CSD), Field Services Division (FSD), Motor Carrier Division (MCD), Management
Services and Programs Division (MS&P), Administrative Services Division (ASD), Compliance Enforcement
Division (CED) and Motor Vehicle Information Technology (MVIT).
The Central Services and Records Division (CSD) provide alternative methods for Nevada motor vehicle
customers regarding drivers' licenses, registrations, titles, and license plates. This division is also responsible
for processing titles, ensuring data integrity and applying driver license sanctions.
The License Plate Factory is also operated by the Central Services and Records Division. Also known as
the "Tag Plant," the License Plate Factory is charged with designing, manufacturing, and distributing
Nevada's license plates to DMV offices and State Assessors Offices for issuance to vehicle owners and
operators in Nevada.
The Insurance Verification Program, known as Nevada LIVE (Nevada Liability Insurance Validated
Electronically), verifies that registered owners of motor vehicles registered in Nevada maintain liability
insurance. Revenue is generated from reinstatement fees and fines after suspensions for no insurance
The Field Services Division (FSD) is responsible for direct customer service operations for the driver licensing
and vehicle registration functions. Field Services assures that only safe and knowledgeable drivers receive the
privilege to drive on the highways. It also registers and titles vehicles, and collects appropriate fees and taxes
imposed upon the owners and operators of vehicles.
The Motor Carrier Division (MCD) is responsible for ensuring compliance with Nevada laws applicable to its
Motor Carrier Customers. This includes administration of special fuel and motor fuel supplier programs to
fairly collect and distribute the total fuel tax revenue owed to Nevada; licensing all commercial vehicles over
26,000 pounds; licensing vehicles with interstate operations under the International Registration Plan (IRP) and
International Fuel Tax agreement (IFTA); revenue and bad debt collections; and conducting audits of motor
carriers and fuel suppliers to ensure customer education and compliance with Nevada laws and regulations, the
International Registration Plan (IRP), and the International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA).

Web transactions
Currently DMV has a number of transactions available on its website www.DMVNV.com. MVIT continually
adds DMV transactions for the ease and convenience of Nevada citizens.
MyDMV Portal
MyDMV Portal was developed internally by MVIT staff and provides central access to customer data by
allowing Nevada citizens to log into one place to access their records. A number of Web transactions are
available to customers through the portal. In addition, this is the only online option where customers are allowed
to complete their address change without having to visit a DMV office. As of November 2014, there are over
350,000 MyDMV portal accounts with over 630,000 transactions.
Current Computing Infrastructure
DMV’s existing automated applications and components drive the Department’s current computing infrastructure.
For several of the core legacy applications the Department uses a combination of IBM mainframe technology
including COBOL, DB2 and CICS programs in the backend and Power Builder, VB.net & ASP.net in the front end
with a home grown INTERSPACE middle layer.
DMV uses Microsoft servers running 2008/12. Microsoft Windows and MS Office suite products, including MS
Internet Explorer.
Current Environment and tools (Back-end)
Currently the DMV application is two-tiered. Over 90% of the business logic and data reside on IBM’s
System Z environment.
The software component on the Mainframe that serves as the transaction server is called CICS. Connections to CICS
are established through HTTP over TCPIP. Access to Transaction is controlled through RACF (Resource Access
Control Facility) software on the Mainframe. Controlled access to transactions and application features are enabled
through DMV written software component named Identity and Access Management software. Business users
invoke RPC (Remote Procedure Call) programs that are managed by CICS. COBOL programs encapsulate most of
the business logic and accesses DB2 on System Z to retrieve, update and save application data. In addition to online
