*Buyer: The City of Winnipeg · Source: winnipeg · Closes: —*

**AI workability: 54%** (majority needs humans) · notice-only read · bid call: **MAYBE**

- Effort: 490 h total · 264 h AI · 226 h human (low confidence)

## Verdict

maybe

## Bid call

**MAYBE** — AI can handle a substantial portion of the knowledge work (~54%), but the project requires human-facilitated workshops, stakeholder trust, and municipal procurement compliance. The small shop can bid if it can supply a human lead with relevant consulting experience and access to the full RFP.

## Deliverables

| Deliverable | Mode | AI share | Hours |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Project Management & Communication | human_only | 10% | 60 |
| Discovery & Current-State Assessment | ai_assisted | 55% | 120 |
| Requirements Elicitation & Documentation | ai_assisted | 50% | 140 |
| Software Strategy & Roadmap | ai_assisted | 70% | 80 |
| Business Case & Options Analysis | ai_assisted | 75% | 50 |
| Final Report & Presentation | ai_assisted | 70% | 40 |

## Risks

- **[high]** Incomplete scope due to truncated source documents — *Request full RFP and clarification before bidding; base proposal on available notice.*
- **[medium]** Client expects in-person workshops — *Propose hybrid approach; budget for travel and on-site facilitation.*
- **[medium]** Municipal procurement compliance — *Follow Form A and electronic submission instructions; review all mandatory requirements.*
- **[medium]** Small shop lacks large reference contracts — *Emphasize AI-agent-first methodology and relevant expertise; provide case studies.*
- **[medium]** AI-generated requirements may miss tacit knowledge — *Use human-facilitated workshops and validation gates.*
- **[low]** Tight timeline from closing to delivery — *Plan AI-assisted drafting immediately after award; use parallel workstreams.*

## Human roles

- **Contract signatory / accountable executive** (5%): Legal and financial accountability cannot be delegated to AI.
- **Workshop facilitator / stakeholder engagement lead** (35%): Client workshops and interviews require a human presence and relationship trust.
- **Requirements validator / QA** (30%): AI drafts must be reviewed and approved by a human with domain expertise.
- **Project manager / client liaison** (30%): Ongoing communication, issue resolution, and delivery management need a human.

## Why not more AI

- Cannot attend or facilitate in-person client workshops.
- Cannot sign contracts or take legal/financial accountability.
- Cannot build trust with municipal stakeholders.
- May produce inaccurate requirements if source documents are incomplete or truncated.
- Cannot make final decisions on strategy trade-offs.

## Requirements & compliance

| Ref | Requirement | Status |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Form A | Form A: Bid/Proposal - Mandatory, limited to 1 file | met |
| Bid Submission | Electronic Bid Submission; Pricing in attached document | met |
| D4.1 Scope | Design and discovery effort to establish the foundation for a modern digital Work... (truncated) | unclear |
