RFP #27-24 Somerville Short Term Rentals Database and Reporting

The City of Somerville is seeking a vendor to design, develop, and maintain a comprehensive database that tracks illegal short‑term rentals across all platforms, and to provide ongoing compliance monitoring and reporting. The work includes integrating the new system with existing municipal software (CitizenServe, Vision), generating weekly and monthly compliance reports, and offering support for legal actions such as court testimony and affidavits. Vendors must have experience with at least five comparable municipalities and be capable of delivering both the technical solution and consulting services. • Develop a searchable database of short‑term rental listings, flagging illegal listings. • Produce regular compliance reports and assist city staff with enforcement actions. • Integrate with existing city systems and provide post‑award support, including testimony and affidavit preparation.
