This Installation Proposal takes precedence over and supersedes any and all prior proposals,

scope of work (“Work”). This Installation Proposal commences on the Start Date as specified in the
attached scope of work, and represents the entire agreement between Convergint and Customer (the

Convergint:
a. To promptly approve submittals provided by Convergint;
b. To provide access to all areas of the facility which are necessary to complete the
Work;
c. To supply suitable electrical service as required by Convergint; and
d. That in the event of any emergency or systems failure, reasonable safety precautions

Convergint notifies the Customer that the systems are operational or that the
emergency has cleared.
SECTION 2. PRICING

only the material listed based on Convergint’s interpretation of plans and specifications unless noted

If the Work is performed over more than a month, Convergint will invoice Customer each month for
the Work performed during the previous month. Customer agrees to pay the amount due to Convergint
as invoiced, within thirty (30) days of the date of such invoice. If the Work is completed in less than
one month, Customer agrees to pay Convergint in full after the Work has been performed within thirty
(30) days of the date of being invoiced. Invoices shall not include or be subject to a project retention
percentage. If Customer is overdue in any payment to Convergint, Convergint shall be entitled to

including attorney fees, court costs and any other reasonable expenditure.
SECTION 4. WARRANTY
Convergint provides the following warranty to the Customer:
For the period of one (1) year, commencing at the earlier of substantial completion of the Work, or
first beneficial use, (“Warranty Period”):
a. That Work performed under this Agreement will be of good quality;
b. That all equipment will be new unless otherwise required or permitted by this
Agreement;
c. That the Work will be free from defects not inherent in the quality required or permitted;
and
d. That the Work will conform to the requirements of this Agreement.
The Customer’s sole remedy for any breach of this warranty is that Convergint shall remove, replace
and/or repair at its own expense any defective or improper Work, discovered within the Warranty
Period, provided Convergint is notified in writing of any defect within the Warranty Period.
Any equipment or products installed by Convergint in the course of performing the Work hereunder
shall only carry such warranty as is provided by the manufacturer thereof, which Convergint hereby
assigns to Customer without recourse to Convergint. Upon request of Customer, Convergint will use
all reasonable efforts to assist Customer in enforcing any such third party warranties. This warranty
excludes remedy for damage or defect caused by abuse, modifications not executed by Convergint,
improper or insufficient maintenance, improper operation, or normal wear and tear under normal usage.
NO FURTHER WARRANTIES OR GUARANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARE MADE WITH
RESPECT TO ANY GOODS OR SERVICES PROVIDED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, AND
ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE ARE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED.

request changes in the Work. Any changes to the Work and any adjustment to the Agreement Price or
the time for completion of the Work shall be in writing signed by both Customer and Convergint. If
Customer orders any additional work or causes any material interference with Convergint’s
performance of the Work, Convergint shall be entitled to an equitable adjustment in the time for
performance and in the Agreement Price, including a reasonable allowance for overhead and profit.
SECTION 6. FORCE MAJEURE
Neither Customer nor Convergint shall be responsible or liable for, shall incur expense for, or be
deemed to be in breach of this Agreement because of any delay in the performance of their respective
obligations pursuant to this Agreement due solely to circumstances beyond their reasonable control
(“Force Majeure”) and without the fault or negligence of the party experiencing such delay, provided
that the party experiencing the delay shall promptly give written notification to the other party within
five (5) days after such party has learned of the Force Majeure. A Force Majeure event shall include,
but not be limited to: accident, fire, storm, water, flooding, negligence, vandalism, power failure,
installation of incompatible equipment, improper operating procedures, source current fluctuations or
lighting. If performance by either party is delayed due to Force Majeure, the time for that performance

Services required by Convergint due to reasons set forth in this Force Majeure Section shall be charged
to Customer in addition to any amounts due under this Agreement.

Agreement. Convergint shall provide to the Customer no less than thirty (30) days notice prior to the

SECTION 8. INDEMNIFICATION

EVENT WILL CONVERGINT BE LIABLE TO CUSTOMER FOR ANY AMOUNTS IN EXCESS
OF THE AMOUNTS PAID BY CUSTOMER TO CONVERGINT.
It is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that Convergint is or may be providing
monitoring and or intrusion products which are designed to provide notification of certain events
but are not intended to be guarantees or insurers against any acts for which they are supposed to
monitor or inform. As required by the monitoring and intrusion industry and the manufacturers
thereof, Convergint’s indemnification obligation pursuant to Section 8 herein, does not apply to
the extent the loss indemnified against is caused by any monitoring or intrusion product or
software provided by but not manufactured by Convergint. Convergint shall have no liability to
Customer for any losses to the extent such losses are caused by the monitoring or intrusion product
or software. Customer shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Convergint, from and against

only to the extent caused by such monitoring or intrusion product or software provided by but not
manufactured by Convergint.

which the Work is being performed. Convergint agrees to comply with all laws and regulations relating
to or governing the Work. Convergint agrees to comply with all reporting requirements imposed by
law or this Agreement. Convergint shall comply with all safety related laws and regulations and with
the safety program of the Customer, provided such program is supplied to Convergint prior to
beginning work.
In the event that Convergint discovers or suspects the presence of hazardous materials, or unsafe
working conditions at Customer’s facility where the Work is to be performed, Convergint is entitled to
stop the Work at that facility if such hazardous materials, or unsafe working conditions were not
provided by or caused by Convergint. Convergint in its sole discretion shall determine when it is “safe”
to return to perform the Work at Customer’s facility. Convergint shall have no responsibility for the
discovery, presence, handling, removing or disposal of or exposure of persons to hazardous materials
in any form at the Customer’s facility. Customer shall indemnify and hold harmless Convergint from
and against claims, damages, losses and expenses, including but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s
fees, arising out of or resulting from undisclosed hazardous materials, or unsafe working conditions at
Customer’s facility.

attempt to resolve the dispute in the field, but if that is not successful, then in a meeting between
authorized officers of each company. If settlement attempts are not successful, then the dispute shall be
subject to and decided by mediation or arbitration. Such mediation or arbitration shall be conducted in
accordance with the Construction Industry Mediation or Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration
Association currently in effect and shall be a final binding resolution of the issues presented between
the parties.

safety systems. We are the nation’s largest independent security systems integrator and have
over 15 years of experience and “lessons learned” supporting Government and commercial
customers. From day one, delivering

one objective, is to be our customers’
best service provider – validated by Frost

We confirmed that their stated value and belief ‘to be our customer’s best service provider’
drives their organization and is supported through advanced technology, employee

technology partners to provide customers with a choice of best-in-class solutions allowing us to

Company Awards
As a full service integrator, we feel there are numerous differentiators that Convergint possesses
which will create a beneficial value for Region 4 ESC’ cooperative purchasing contract. First
and foremost, are our stated Values & Beliefs (“Vs & Bs”). This holds each colleague
accountable for his/her actions and defines the foundation of our unparalleled continued growth
and success. Because of Convergint’s Vs & Bs, we have been recognized and received awards
for customer service, community involvement, and employee development. Not one (1) element
alone that defines our character, but multiple conditions and actions that when combined,
demonstrates Convergint’s virtuous character. It is through our continued programs, policies,
and involvement with our employees, customers, and community, we have garnered good
character and are truly our customers’ best service provider. Below highlights a few of our most
valued awards and recognition programs unique to Convergint.

Convergint Technologies Named to Fastest Growing Integration
Firms List - Convergint Technologies has been named to SD&I
Magazine’s Fast50 list as one of the 50 fastest growing systems
integration firms for 2016, with a ranking of number one in revenue dollars.
Convergint Social Responsibility Day Convergint Technologies was founded on a set of core
values and beliefs. These values and beliefs focus on Convergint's commitment to our customers,
our colleagues and their families, and our communities. One of these values "we believe in
balanced lives" supports our belief that it is important for all of us to balance our time, energy,
and commitments across our families, our business, and our communities. In support of this
value, each year in June, Convergint colleagues participate in their local communities and
contribute to those in need. We encourage a “pay it forward” attitude at Convergint, please visit
our website to review a list of our beneficiaries https://www.convergint.com/beneficiaries.php.
Center for Companies That Care channels the
power of business to address tenacious social
issues. By doing so, we improve the lives of
individuals, families, and communities and
ensure social responsibility. The Companies
That Care Honor Roll publicly spotlights and
celebrates all Companies That Care, especially employers working to positively affect education
and workforce development/diversity. For the 13th time, Center for Companies That Care
announced its Honor Roll, a national list recognizing employers for outstanding workplace
practices and active community involvement. Over 121,000 employees around the country
are fortunate to work for the 16 employers on the 2015 list. The Honor Roll list contains
privately owned, publicly traded, for-profit and non-profit companies, from 15 different
industries:
At Convergint, we are always on the lookout for ways to become a better employer. Updating
our existing policies and enhancing our benefit plan offerings, reaching out to those in need and
recognizing our colleagues for their accomplishments and contributions to our company are just
a few ways we can become even better employers. Because we strive to be a better employer,
Convergint has been named to the Companies That Care Honor Roll for the 11th consecutive
year (2005-2015)! Each year we endeavor to incorporate positive changes within our
organization to help improve the well-being of all of our colleagues. This award, once again,
reaffirms that Convergint truly cares about its colleagues. Below, we have listed some of the
changes over the past year at Convergint that were reported on the Companies That Care Honor
Roll application.
Convergint Colleague Survey – Over 900 Convergint colleagues completed
our company survey in January 2014. Survey questions allowed colleagues to
rate the communication, integrity, training, development opportunities,
accountability, working environment and other topics pertaining to colleagues’
quality of experience working at Convergint. Colleagues continued to give high ratings for
Convergint’s long-term business outlook; Convergint Social Responsibility Day being a
worthwhile cause; and Convergint being a great company to work for. The results and feedback

are shared with each CTC’s leader to highlight both positive feedback as well as the areas for
improvement.
Code of Conduct and Whistleblower Policy – We updated our Code of Conduct and
Whistleblower policy. We expect all of our colleagues, as well as other
engaged to act on behalf of the company, to conduct themselves with
integrity. Our new policy reflects our new ReportIt Ethics and Compliance
toll free hotline and online reporting tool to provide anonymous and confidential reporting 24/7.
Convergint is committed to high standards of ethical, moral and legal business conduct. In line
with this, and Convergint’s commitment to open communication, this policy aims to provide an
avenue for colleagues to raise concerns and reassurance that they will be protected from
retaliation or victimization for whistleblowing.
U.S. Colleague Safety Program Growth – Over the course of 2014 there were several safety
initiatives put into place, including electronic job hazard analysis form, electronic
safety suggestion box, and parking directive. An electronic job hazard analysis form
was developed and rolled out to all field colleagues where they can perform their
hazard recognition on their cell phones and submit them electronically to a main
server. All U.S. locations have formed local safety committees as a way to promote safety as well as
assist in compliance issues. One of the great ideas from these committees was the electronic safety
suggestion box which is a group email that goes to the local committee members. This is an easy way
for colleagues to make suggestions or bring up areas of concern. All of the offices have adopted this
and there have been a significant increase in suggestions. A parking directive was rolled out where
all company vehicles now back into parking spaces and place a cone in front of the vehicle. This has
reduced the number of backing incidents across the U.S.
Frost and Sullivan - According to Frost & Sullivan research analyst
Jason Halverson, “Convergint Technologies has a service culture that
is unmatched in their industry. We confirmed that their stated value
and belief ‘to be our customer’s best service provider’ drives their
organization and is supported through advanced technology,
employee responsiveness and focus on the customer.” Since our company was formed in 2001,
we’ve focused on providing exceptional customer services and it is extremely satisfying when an
independent organization like Frost & Sullivan validates our service culture and overall
leadership position. Our dedication to customer service is unmatched in this industry.

I. Background on Region 4 Education Service Center
Region 4 Education Service Center (“Region 4 ESC” herein “Lead Public Agency”) on behalf of
itself and all state, local governments, school districts, and higher education institutions in the
United States of America, and other government agencies and non-profit organizations (herein
“Participating Agencies”) solicits proposals from qualified Offerors to enter into a Vendor
Contract (“contract”) for the goods or services solicited in this proposal.
Contracts are approved and awarded by a single governmental entity, Region 4 ESC, and are
only available for use and benefit of all entities complying with state procurement laws and
regulations (public and private schools, colleges and universities, cities, counties, non-profits,
and all governmental entities). These types of contracts are commonly referred to as being
“piggybackable”.

• Equalize purchasing power for smaller agencies that are unable to command the best
contracts for themselves.
• Help in assisting with use of best business practices.
IV. Customer Service
• TCPN is dedicated to making our contracts successful for both our members and our
awarded vendors.
• TCPN is committed to providing our members and awarded vendors with high quality
service.

XI. Clarifications: Offeror may receive a written request to clarify, in writing, its proposal in
order to determine whether a proposal should be considered for award. The process of
clarification is not an opportunity for an Offeror to revise or modify its proposal, and any
response by an Offeror to a written request for clarification that attempts to revise or modify

material requirements of the solicitation. A proposal that is not materially responsive shall

competitive range and/or are reasonably susceptible of being selected for award. Proposals
not in the competitive range may not be further evaluated. Proposals in the competitive range
shall be evaluated on the basis of price and the other evaluation criteria set forth in the
solicitation. In the event that Region 4 ESC decides to conduct negotiations, notice shall be

identify, in general terms, the elements or factors upon which Region 4 ESC intends to base

the competitive range to submit a Best and Final Offer. Offerors must submit their Best and
Final Offers in writing. If an Offeror does not respond to the request for a Best and Final
Offer, that Offeror’s most recent prior offer will be considered to be its Best and Final Offer.
XV. Specifications: When a solicitation contains a specification that states no substitutions,
no deviation from this requirement will be permitted. Offeror must comply with the true
intent of the specifications and drawings and not take advantage of any unintentional error or
omission. In cases where no type and kind of product is specified, specifications have been
developed to indicate minimal standards as to the usage, materials, and contents based on the
needs of the members.
References to manufacturer’s specifications (Design Guides), when used by Region 4 ESC,
are to be considered informative to give the Offeror information as to the general style, type
and kind requested. Responses proposing goods, materials or equipment regularly produced
by a reputable manufacturer shall be evaluated by Region 4 ESC which will, in its sole
discretion, determine whether such proposed goods, materials or equipment are substantially
equivalent to the Design Guides, considering quality, workmanship, economy of operation,
and suitability for the purpose intended. Offerors should include all documentation required
to evaluate whether or not their proposed goods, materials or equipment are substantially
equivalent to the Design Guides.
XVI. Quality of Materials or Services: Offeror shall state the brand name and number of the
materials being provided. If none is indicated then it is understood that the offeror is quoting
on the exact brand name and number specified or mentioned in the solicitation.
However, unless specifically stated otherwise, comparable substitutions will be permitted in
cases where the material is equal to that specified, considering quality, workmanship,
economy of operation and suitability for the purpose intended.
XVII. Samples: Upon request, samples shall be furnished, free of cost, within seven (7) days
after receiving notice of such request. By submitting the proposal Offeror certifies that all
materials conform to all applicable requirements of this solicitation and of those required by
law. Offeror agrees to bear the costs for laboratory testing, if results show that the sample
does not comply with solicitation requirements.
Submissions may be rejected for failing to submit samples as requested.
XVIII. Deviations and Exceptions: Deviations or exceptions stipulated in response may result
in disqualification. It is the intent of Region 4 ESC to award a manufacturer’s complete line
of products, when possible.

method, based on randomly selected criteria to determine the most advantageous response.

response, which it believes, are exempt. In addition, the Offeror must specify which

ESC and TCPN and its participants, administrators, employees and agents against all claims,

local, state, and federal laws governing the sale of products/services identified in this RFP and
any awarded contract and shall comply with all while fulfilling the RFP. Applicable laws and
regulation must be followed even if not specifically identified herein.
13.8 Open Records Policy: Because Region 4 ESC contracts are awarded by a governmental
entity, responses submitted are subject to release as public information after contracts are
executed. If a vendor believes that its response, or parts of its response, may be exempted from
disclosure, the vendor must specify page-by-page and line-by-line the parts of the response,
which it believes, are exempt. In addition, the Offeror must specify which exception(s) are
applicable and provide detailed reasons to substantiate the exception(s). Offeror must provide
this information on the “Acknowledgement and Acceptance to Region 4 ESC’s Open Record
Policy” form found at the beginning of this solicitation. Any information that is unmarked will
be considered public information and released, if requested under the Public Information Act.
The determination of whether information is confidential and not subject to disclosure is the duty
of the Office of Attorney General (OAG). Region 4 ESC must provide the OAG sufficient
information to render an opinion and therefore, vague and general claims to confidentiality by
the Offeror are not acceptable. Region 4 ESC must comply with the opinions of the OAG.
Region 4 ESC assumes no responsibility for asserting legal arguments on behalf of any vendor.
Offerors are advised to consult with their legal counsel concerning disclosure issues resulting
from this procurement process and to take precautions to safeguard trade secrets and other
proprietary information.
After completion of award, these documents will be available for public inspection.

• Identify and define targets that qualify for TCPN contract purchasing terms
• Periodic content updates on Convergint’s website discussing the value of purchasing
Convergint’s products and services from the TCPN contract
• Engage and convert targets by delivering call-to-action content over a sustained period of

The goal of our demand generation campaign is to hand qualified leads off to our regional sales
teams so they can develop them into purchasing customers for both TCPN and Convergint.
We have included here some examples of the elements listed above to illustrate our experience
with marketing government contracts such as these and to demonstrate the quality of the
materials we will be creating on behalf of the TCPN contract.
18. Describe how your company will demonstrate the benefits of this contract to eligible
entities if awarded.
Convergint will demonstrate the benefits of this contract not only by marketing but in sales
execution. We will impress upon our Customers that National IPA saves time and
money. Participating in the cooperative buying power of more than 48,000 entities allows them
to pay less for products and reduce administrative costs, which helps our customers do more with
less. National IPA offers strength in numbers and years of government purchasing experience,
where Customers can have confidence in every contract.
• Contracts are competitively solicited, evaluated and awarded by a government entity acting
as the lead agency.
• Contracts are awarded utilizing industry best practices, processes and procedures, ensuring
maximum value and absolute security with complete transparency of the process.
• Most experienced cooperative team in public procurement, cooperative purchasing and
supply chain management.
Please see marketing plan as well as our government contracts landing page which will help
direct web traffic to TCPN.
19. Explain how your company plans to market this agreement to existing government
customers.
Our Marketing Plan and Strategy is developed for both new and existing customers. Existing
customers will be included in our:
• Direct mail campaigns

• Participation in trade shows
By appealing to the need to save money Convergint will gain additional government customers
and leverage TCPN for potential, state and local and all of our existing government customers.

20. Provide a detailed ninety (90) day plan describing how the contract will be implemented
within your firm.
Effective program management is the cornerstone to delivering a successful program
implementation to the TCPN. It becomes even more critical as this project spans the continent,
requires simultaneous installations, and involves complex integration and upgrades. Our TCPN
team is the single source to coordinate all activities and communication between TCPN,
Convergint Technologies, and our implementation partners. We have identified regional field
support teams to align regionally. These teams coordinate directly with our PM. At the day’s
end, Convergint is responsible for:
• Overall TCPN satisfaction with the Convergint implementation
• Managing the schedule, budget, logistics, and program quality
• Leading coordination sessions with TCPN for program plan and schedule development
• Reviewing and approving project plans for overall conformance to master plan and schedule
• Acting as communications conduit to all TCPN stakeholders
Once the contract is awarded the Convergint Government Solutions (CGS) team will have an
internal kickoff and transfer the contract to our operations team. The CGS team will act as a
liaison for the operations team to learn about the contract and discuss its merits with our current
customer base. Convergint will then implement its marketing plan, as discussed above to
leverage new work that we can bring to as well as educate current and former customers on the
new contracting option.
Our formal contract implementation plan will be available after award.
21. Describe how you intend on train your national sales force on the Region 4 ESC
agreement.
CGS will educate Convergint Sales Colleagues around the proposal process and contract vehicles
requirements. CGS is currently developing “GoverNation Academy” that directly supports one
of our foundational Values & Beliefs (Vs&Bs) “I Am Accountable for my Continuous
Development – a Better Me is a Better Convergint”. CGS’ GoverNation Academy will provide
training modules detailing both the bid/proposal requirement and reporting requirements required
by the TCPN contract.
In addition, Convergint holds an annual sales conference (March 17-22nd, 2017 at the Hotel
Coronado in San Diego) where all sales and operations colleagues will be present to learn about
the new contract and how to implement it using our best practices.
After the conference presentation the CGS team will work with colleagues across the nation to
qualify and examine opportunities we can bring to TCPN while leveraging the existing customer
base TCPN currently holds.

24. Describe your company’s implementation and success with existing cooperative
purchasing programs, if any, and provide the cooperative’s name(s), contact person(s)
and contact information as reference(s).
Convergint understands the privilege that is bestowed upon us as an awardee of a cooperative
purchasing program. Our primary priority is to gain an in depth understanding of the
cooperative’s compliance requirements. Within Convergint’s Government Solution team, there
is a team that focuses solely on compliance, and making sure everyone throughout the company
understands the compliance requirements, and adheres to the compliance regulation. This group
mitigates and issues of non-compliance before it leaves the confines of Convergint. Our next
priority is developing and implementing a sales execution plan specifically for that cooperative.
One of the key components needed to form this sales execution plan is understanding who the
cooperative’s customer base is. For example, Texas DIR is specifically geared toward State of
Texas agencies. Having this knowledge allows us to create a sales execution plan specifically
geared towards State of Texas agencies, and affords Convergint the opportunity to meet the
needs of State of Texas agencies by simplifying and shortening the procurement process. In
2015 we successful won a multi-million-dollar CCTV upgrade project for a state of Texas
hospital. This success was a direct correlation of executing a sales plan, understanding our
customer’s procurement processes, and understanding how Texas DIR would make the
procurement process simple and shorter for our customer. There are several similar success
stories across all of our awarded cooperative purchase programs, and that is simply due to
strategizing. Once we win a new cooperative purchasing program, we spend 30 seconds
celebrating the accomplishment, and then we roll up ourselves and figure out how we can use
this cooperative to make the lives of our customers’ easier.

location. With this information, we can finalize the scope, as well as, the project schedule for that
location and implement the proposed solution accordingly.
Staging and Planning Phase will include scheduling a meeting at each Customer facility and
reviewing the project specifics for that location. During this review, we will outline the conversion

plan, project duration, and discuss any potential challenges and impacts discovered during the pre-
inspection process.
Testing Phase will be the first step to the project implementation at each facility. We will test all
legacy equipment and devices scheduled to remain to ensure proper operation. As part of this
inspection, Convergint will verify the presence of surge suppression on electrified locking

Quality Assurance and Customer-Service
Convergint has adopted the Deming Cycle of processes (Plan-Do-Check-Act), our QA program
features mechanisms that effectively support the goals of quality and Customer satisfaction,
indicated in the Figure below.
QUALITY ASSURANCE FEATURES AND OBJECTIVES
Features Objective
Well-Defined Roles and
Responsibilities
Personnel realize their part in the quality control process.
Documenting Processes Assigned ownership of quality control issues leads to responsive action.
Monitoring Processes Information is collected with accuracy and completeness to substantiate further
reviews.
Evaluating Processes Personnel review activities and deliverables to ensure careful adherence to project
plan and standards.
Reporting Processes Collected data support comparisons and analysis of results to assess performance.
Corrective Actions Information is shared within the team and Customers to compare actual
performance against accepted metrics.
Applied Best Practices Any potential deficiency is caught quickly, so we can resolve the issue and keep
our performance on target.
Quality Assurance Concepts. Convergint’s quality methodology is focused on providing Customer service &
exceptional performance through teamwork and adherence to integrity in monitoring and reporting.
Plan-Do-Check-Act.
Plan The primary activity of the Plan phase is the development, review, and approval of the Quality Program
that provides guidance for the project QA/QC approach. Other planning activities ensure consistency
between the Quality Program and other project documents; and planning for measurement collection,
analysis, and reporting.
Do During the Do phase, the QA/QC team executes the Quality Program, performing audits of processes as
performed against their procedures; reviewing work products and services against required standards;
maintaining activity logs; and documenting, recommending, and reporting the status of assigned preventive
or corrective actions to be completed within a risk-driven, specified time-frame. We collect, store, analyze,
and report measurements by assigned project team members.
Check In the Check phase, the results of audits, reviews, and measurement and analysis are compared with the
Quality Program specifications to ensure the work is being completed as expected. Non-conformances are
reported to the Program Manager and other stakeholders, along with the findings from the work performed.
Act In the Act phase, The Program Manager ensures that performance indicators (metrics), and non-
conformances found in products, services, and processes are assessed and any identified non-conformances
are documented and communicated to stakeholders. Issues are prioritized for resolution, escalated based on
their priorities, and tracked until closure. Documented quality successes and issues are analyzed to formulate
lessons learned and process improvement actions.
Plan, Do, Check, Act. Convergint will perform clear consistent quality processes.

Convergint Technologies - Making a Daily Difference
QA/QC Activities. We employ a variety of techniques to ensure quality in accordance with our
program and depending on the task being undertaken or the deliverable being reviewed. General
categories of activities include:
• QA Records—QA activities records of actions, planned audits, actual audits, audit
results/recommendations, action items, etc. are vital especially regarding any deviations in
planned project processes/activities and work products/deliverables.
• Product Audits determine if the deliverables (including format and content) are in accord
with the project plans, contract requirements, engineering specifications (e.g. user interface
specification, design documents), and standards. Product Audits include both verification and
validation. The distinction being: Verification determines if the products properly reflect the
requirements specified for them; i.e. was it built right. Validation determines if the product,
as provided, will fulfill its intended use; i.e. did we build the right thing.
• Process Audits determine if the processes/procedures (design/development, testing,
deployment, operations, and maintenance) defined in the project plans are followed.
• Inspections (product audits) are performed on all document deliverables prior to
submission to the Customer. Document inspections are synonymous with document audits.
• QC Checklists are used to inspect work products and audit processes. Adaptation of proven
checklists helps ensure critical aspects are not overlooked. Convergint maintains a large
number of checklist templates and examples that are available on-line and intended to be
adapted to individual project needs.
• Escalation procedures specify the order and timing for escalation of quality non-
conformance issues. The objective is to resolve issues as quickly as practical, and at the
lowest level of the organization possible. Issues are tracked until closure, with escalation if
resolution is delayed beyond due dates.
• Metrics We make extensive use of quality metrics to quantify the effectiveness of our
approach and practices, and we use a variety of tools to automate the collection, analysis, and
reporting of our performance. Metrics selection is important for project success. Project
metrics must fit the scope and risks; inform the project team how well it is performing, and
provide early warning signs of potential issues.
• Customer Feedback. We recognize the importance of regular, open and honest management
interaction at all levels to ensure Convergint maintains a clear understanding of Customer
needs and concerns, and maintains a positive partnership with the Customer. We establish
regular reviews at each level of the organization to discuss upcoming needs, risks and
mitigation plans, operational successes, staffing gaps, performance issues, and other topics of
interest to the Customer. Site visits provide a regular, established forum for Convergint
senior management to meet with their counterparts to: Review overall contract performance
and Customer satisfaction; Gain a better understanding of the Customer’s plans and strategic
direction for the coming period; Discuss Customer needs and solutions that Convergint can
bring in meeting those needs.
In addition to site visits, we also gauge Customer satisfaction through our customer satisfaction
survey program. Periodically, we survey customers via an independent survey initiated through
Convergint’s corporate office in order to get an unbiased and open assessment of our
performance. The survey measures satisfaction across five major categories: Responsiveness;
Colleague Attitude; Problem Resolution; Quality of Work; and overall Experience with
Convergint. The survey also includes a yes/no question to confirm if we are considered the “Best

as well as the program team, and corrective action and/or follow-ups are instituted as necessary.
At our nationwide brick & mortar CTCs, our shift supervisors consistently monitor team
activities, observe our colleagues approach to customer service, and audit their work for
technical accuracy and speed. All of our team members understand the importance of their work.
Recruiting and Hiring. Our overarching philosophy is to ensure we select the right person for
each role on the program. Our procedure to ensure continuity and quality of personnel begins
with our recruiting, screening (including reference checks) and selection processes, which
focuses on identifying the qualified personnel with relevant experience and training, and a long-
term commitment to program success. Our recruiting process is well under way and continues
throughout the life of the contract as we continue to build our pool of qualified candidates. When
identifying candidates for the Customer we look for personnel who:
• Have a passion for the area they are supporting, whether that be security service, information
technology, or hardware integration
• Have a long term interest in supporting the Convergint’s TCPN growth initiatives
• Are customer-service-oriented, flexible, communicative, and dedicated to doing their best
and always looking for a way to do it better
Convergint’s recruiters have access to a number of sources for finding candidates readily available
for reassignment or hire. These resources include referrals, a database of current employees
seeking reassignment, Social Networking sites, professional organizations and associations, and a
recruiting database of cleared personnel seeking employment. Our in-house resources and robust
recruiting capabilities ensure a large quality pool of candidates.
Convergint strives to provide the highest level of service for TCPN. We
accomplish this by finding and hiring talented colleagues, providing them
with challenging opportunities and encouraging their innovation and

RETENTION TECHNIQUES AND PROGRAMS
STRATEGY DESCRIPTION
Hire the
Right
Personnel
We begin by hiring personnel who have a high probability of success and who are likely to
remain on the program for three years or more. These personnel include those who have a
passion for serving the in the facility technology and security fields. Throughout the program, we
refine these criteria to inform our recruiting program.
Recognize
Superior
Performance
Positive feedback and recognition are critical to improving program performance and retaining
top talent. We recognize employees through a variety of programs, including “ACE Awards”,
Special Achievement Bonuses, “Taking Care of Business”, and other programs. Most
importantly, we recognize top talent at our team meetings.
Provide
Timely
Constructive
Feedback and
Mentorship
Everyone wants to know where they stand. Timely, constructive feedback is critical to improving
program performance and allowing personnel to adjust. Our team provides feedback in the
following ways:
• The PM meets with each employee to set expectations and ensure understanding;
performance is assessed each quarter and is used as input in the employee’s annual appraisal
• Senior team members are assigned to mentor more junior team members; this results in
learning for both individuals
• PM and team leads provide ongoing feedback in the form of kudos and constructive
observations in a timely manner, with clear examples given
Provide a
Sense of
Camaraderie
Our leadership team is highly engaged each day ensuring open communication of issues,
suggestions for improvement, and observing team performance on a daily or weekly basis.
Additionally, the team hosts quarterly team events, at no cost to the CUSTOMER. These events
include an educational component as well as a chance to network among the team and with our
guest presenters. Additionally, this is the forum to recognize superior achievement, present
awards, present new innovative ideas, and identify issues. These activities provide a chance for
team building while providing additional context regarding the very important mission we serve.
Provide
Training &
Education
Opportunities
Team Convergint provides the following formal and informal training and education
opportunities to keep skills sharp and to help personnel grow:
• Comprehensive manufacturer training and certification program
• IT personnel keep their skills sharp with training from outside vendors on Cisco, Oracle, MS
Server, Linux, and emerging technologies of relevance
• Free web based training for employees at their own speed
• Formal mentoring program allows less experienced team members to learn from the experts, and
allows the senior team members to share knowledge and learn through teaching
Lead by
Example
Our managers and leads are not just managers overseeing day-to-day operations. They are
exceptional leaders who are invested in each person on the program, regardless of role or
affiliation, because each person plays their part. Their rapport, openness, and ability
communicate mission impact; dedication to fairness and transparency; and the confidence they
have in their team are all key factors in high retention.
Convergint has developed an Installation Delivery Process. The flowchart details the necessary
tasks and responsibilities necessary for a Facility Technology Integration project from request for
proposal through owner acceptance and warranty & maintenance. These activities are
coordinated through the PM as the single point of contact. At the end of the day, Project
Management is responsible for:
• Overall Customer satisfaction with the Convergint implementation
• Managing the schedule, budget, logistics, and program quality
• Leading coordination sessions with Customer for project plan and schedule development
• Reviewing and approving project plans for overall conformance to master plan and schedule
• Acting as communications conduit to all Customer stakeholders

All project team members including installation and logistic partners will follow applicable
procedures from Convergint’s Quality Management System (QMS). Quality procedures will
include comprehensive design, installation, and programming standards as well as testing
methodologies. The PM will conduct periodic reviews to ensure standards and methodologies
are properly implemented.
Steps / Actions to Accomplish Project Objectives
We have defined the steps/actions described below, to achieve the project objectives. The
execution of these steps will result in the development of detailed designs, plans, and procedures
that will ensure compatibility and interoperability between systems (where applicable) from
initial requirements definition and design through test and final acceptance. Each set of actions is
grouped under numbered steps for ease of explanation and not to indicate sequential ordering.
Step 1: Work Identification and Team Selection
The first step toward accomplishing our objectives is to identify the detailed work requirements
and the selection of experienced, competent and DHS cleared colleagues to support effort. The
performance of our team is very important to the success of any project.
Step 2: System Architecture & Engineering
This step includes separate task/activities that range from system survey and design activities
through project design documentation.
1. Design, development, and technical proposal
2. Review process (in conjunction with the Government)
3. Drawings, material lists, purchase data/specification

Region 4 Education Service Center/The Cooperative Purchasing Network Security System Service
Use or disclosure of data contained on this sheet is subject to the restriction in the cover letter of this proposal. 149
Convergint Technologies - Making a Daily Difference
The proper execution of these front-end tasks is the key to development of a quality, FIPS 201
compliant system that meets all the project requirements.
• After all equipment selections and design decisions are made, all technical interface of the
electronic security system, both internal and external, hardware and software will be
specified in the submittal documents.
• The project documentation task will proceed in parallel with the development of the project
drawings, complete material lists, and procurement specifications. The material lists and
procurement specifications provide complete details on hardware and components in the
design. This data is used in Step 4 Purchasing and Procurement Activities.
• The project record drawings provide details of installation of components, routing of
conduits, cabling design interconnections, terminations and operational hardware installation
details. These drawings will be prepared and maintained throughout the program.
Step 3: User Requirements Survey/Validation
As a vital part of a final system design, Convergint will initiate a user process to capture and
incorporate both operations & safety specific requirements into the design. This process will
start immediately after contract award so that these inputs can be brought into the design process
early on.
Step 4: Purchasing & Procurement
Upon completion of the baseline design review, we will initiate procurement procedures for the
required hardware and software components based on the material lists and procurement
specifications developed in Step 2. Any potential long-lead items will be ordered as early in the
design phase as possible to ensure availability when required (this includes the GFE Servers,
workstations and laptops).
Step 5: Site Preparation
System implementation begins with installation starting with the routing and installation of
conduits, cabling interface panels, to support the subsequent operational equipment installation,
and test (Step 7 & 8). Testing the installed devices will prove continuity and operability of the
devices. This will prepare the building subsystems interconnect to make the complete system.
Coordination & Planning
Convergint has examined the specific installation trade requirements as derived from the
specifications. Through this review, combined with years of construction project experience, we
have developed an approach to accomplish all project installation responsibilities required to
ensure project success without disrupting facility operations. An experienced, competent PM,
and effective and continuing communication among our PM and the Government are
fundamental requirements are incorporated into the project through weekly meetings.
Convergint suggests that the complete project teams will coordinate on a weekly call to ensure
continuity and make the most effective use of Government personnel’s time.
Safety & Operations during Project Implementation
Safety is paramount. During project implementation, many concurrent construction efforts will
be in process on a continual basis. The PM will fully coordinate daily work effort with the

customer’s personnel to ensure safety is not degraded throughout the construction and
installation efforts of this project.
Construction & Installation Approach
Convergint has developed a focused strategy to successfully perform the security construction
and installation within the agreed upon schedule with minimum disruption to ongoing facility
operations. Upon receipt of the customer’s review and approval of the overall installation
concept and the details of the construction and installation schedule, system installation work can
commence. We will schedule the electrical trade contractor work (unless included by others)
after detail schedules are coordinated with the customer. The initiation of all construction and
installation activities in Step 5, dependent on the development, submittal, and the customer
approval of design packages, include the installation drawings completed during Step 2.
Step 6: Contingency Planning
It is recognized that during the period of contract, performance situations may develop where
plans and procedures will require rapid modifications and actions to respond to changes in
operating conditions. To accommodate these conditions, the team will work interactively with
the customer personnel on a day-to-day basis.
Step 7: Test Plans & Procedures
In order to guarantee successful system testing that optimizes system performance and minimizes
risk, a detailed test plan and documentation procedure is developed in conjunction with
Customer to ensure lessons learned are leveraged for future facilities/sites.
Step 8: Hardware Installation & Checkout
Convergint will accomplish the installation of hardware and in conjunction with the customer,
will develop an installation plan designed to have as little impact as possible on the day-to-day
operations of installation areas.
Step 9: Training & Instruction
Convergint understands that any electronic security project is much more than simply a
hardware, software & electrical installation. A custom training program that will provide the
customers personnel with the proficiency levels required to efficiently operate and maintain the
security system during routine and emergency operations will be coordinated with the customer.
Step 10: System Acceptance Test
A test for each phase of the installation and the overall system performance in conjunction with
the final system acceptance will be performed in accordance with the attached testing procedure.
The completed test results will be submitted as part of the final test report.
Step 11: Record Documentation
Project record drawings, logs, test data, software documentation, manuals, operating
descriptions/instructions and other data pertaining to the security equipment will be maintained
in a current, up to date status. This data, including record drawings and diagrams, will be
submitted to the customer for review and approval as part of the project final acceptance process

(Step 13). These submittals will be delivered to the Customer in accordance with an agreed to
schedule between Convergint Technologies and the customer following system acceptance.
Step 12: Warranty Service & Concept
See Appendix C
Step 13: Project Final Acceptance
Project requirements for product warranties for all products, required manuals, and
documentation as specified will be complied. A detailed Final Acceptance Plan will be
developed by our PM and reviewed with the customer to assure compliance with the final
acceptance requirements.
To ensure that project schedules and deliverables are coordinated smoothly, our PM will track
milestone progress, communicate and mitigate issues and work in conjunction with Customer. Our
management approach delivers responsive hands-on service to support Customer projects by
combining lessons learned from support of other Government programs as well as industry best
practices.
Convergint’s project management approach is the culmination of a long history of supporting
and protecting similar governmental agencies critical assets, spanning the successful
performance on many security programs. Our proven repeatable process improves efficiencies in
project execution and closeout while minimizing cost to our customers. Using this system, we
are poised to provide quick turn-arounds for tasks, which enables Customer to successfully meet
its goals and standards.

8.1.6 DOC #6 Implementation HB 1295 (Certificate) of Interested Parties)
DOC # 6
Implementation of House Bill 1295
Certificate of Interested Parties (Form 1295):
In 2015, the Texas Legislature adopted House Bill 1295, which added section 2252.908 of the
Government Code. The law states that a governmental entity or state agency may not enter into
certain contracts with a business entity unless the business entity submits a disclosure of
interested parties to the governmental entity or state agency at the time the business entity
submits the signed contract to the governmental entity or state agency. The law applies only to a
contract of a governmental entity or state agency that either (1) requires an action or vote by the
governing body of the entity or agency before the contract may be signed or (2) has a value of at
least $1 million. The disclosure requirement applies to a contract entered into on or after January
1, 2016.
The Texas Ethics Commission was required to adopt rules necessary to implement that law,
prescribe the disclosure of interested parties form, and post a copy of the form on the
commission’s website. The commission adopted the Certificate of Interested Parties form (Form
1295) on October 5, 2015. The commission also adopted new rules (Chapter 46) on November
30, 2015, to implement the law. The commission does not have any additional authority to
enforce or interpret House Bill 1295.
Filing Process:
Staring on January 1, 2016, the commission will make available on its website a new filing
application that must be used to file Form 1295. A business entity must use the application to
enter the required information on Form 1295 and print a copy of the completed form, which will
include a certification of filing that will contain a unique certification number. An authorized
agent of the business entity must sign the printed copy of the form and have the form notarized.
The completed Form 1295 with the certification of filing must be filed with the governmental
body or state agency with which the business entity is entering into the contract.
The governmental entity or state agency must notify the commission, using the commission’s
filing application, of the receipt of the filed Form 1295 with the certification of filing not later
than the 30th day after the date the contract binds all parties to the contract. The commission will
post the completed Form 1295 to its website within seven business days after receiving notice
from the governmental entity or state agency.
Information regarding how to use the filing application will be available on this site starting on
January 1, 2016.

8.2.4 DOC #11 Political Contribution Disclosure Form
DOC #11
C. 271 POLITICAL CONTRIBUTION DISCLOSURE FORM
Public Agency Instructions
This page provides guidance to public agencies entering into contracts with business entities that
are required to file Political Contribution Disclosure forms with the agency. It is not intended to
be provided to contractors. What follows are instructions on the use of form local units can
provide to contractors that are required to disclose political contributions pursuant to N.J.S.A.
19:44A-20.26 (P.L. 2005, c. 271, s.2). Additional information on the process is available in
Local Finance Notice 2006-1 (www.nj.gov/dca/lgs/lfns/lfnmenu.shtml).
1. The disclosure is required for all contracts in excess of $17,500 that are not awarded pursuant
to a “fair and open” process (N.J.S.A. 19:44A-20.7).
2. Due to the potential length of some contractor submissions, the public agency should consider
allowing data to be submitted in electronic form (i.e., spreadsheet, pdf file, etc.). Submissions
must be kept with the contract documents or in an appropriate computer file and be available for
public access. The form is worded to accept this alternate submission. The text should be
amended if electronic submission will not be allowed.
3. The submission must be received from the contractor and on file at least 10 days prior to
award of the contract. Resolutions of award should reflect that the disclosure has been received
and is on file.
4. The contractor must disclose contributions made to candidate and party committees covering a
wide range of public agencies, including all public agencies that have elected officials in the
county of the public agency, state legislative positions, and various state entities. The Division of
Local Government Services recommends that contractors be provided a list of the affected
agencies. This will assist contractors in determining the campaign and political committees of the
officials and candidates affected by the disclosure.
a. The Division has prepared model disclosure forms for each county. They can be downloaded
from the “County PCD Forms” link on the Pay-to-Play web site at www.nj.gov/dca/lgs/p2p.
They will be updated from time-to-time as necessary.
b. A public agency using these forms should edit them to properly reflect the correct
legislative district(s). As the forms are county-based, they list all legislative districts in each
county. Districts that do not represent the public agency should be removed from the lists.
c. Some contractors may find it easier to provide a single list that covers all contributions,
regardless of the county. These submissions are appropriate and should be accepted.
d. The form may be used “as-is”, subject to edits as described herein.
e. The “Contractor Instructions” sheet is intended to be provided with the form. It is
recommended that the Instructions and the form be printed on the same piece of paper. The form
notes that the Instructions are printed on the back of the form; where that is not the case, the text
should be edited accordingly.
f. The form is a Word document and can be edited to meet local needs, and posted for download
on web sites, used as an e-mail attachment, or provided as a printed document.
5. It is recommended that the contractor also complete a “Stockholder Disclosure Certification.”
This will assist the local unit in its obligation to ensure that contractor did not make any

•any State, county, or municipal committee of a political party
•any legislative leadership committee*
•any continuing political committee (a.k.a., political action committee)

o of the public entity awarding the contract
o of that county in which that public entity is located
o of another public entity within that county
o or of a legislative district in which that public entity is located or, when the
public entity is a county, of any legislative district which includes all or part of the
county. The disclosure must list reportable contributions to any of the committees
that exceed $300 per election cycle that were made during the 12 months prior to

•any subsidiaries directly or indirectly controlled by the business entity
•IRS Code Section 527 New Jersey based organizations, directly or indirectly controlled by
the business entity and filing as continuing political committees, (PACs). When the business
entity is a natural person, “a contribution by that person’s spouse or child, residing therewith,
shall be deemed to be a contribution by the business entity.” [N.J.S.A. 19:44A-20.26(b)] The
contributor must be listed on the disclosure. Any business entity that fails to comply with the
disclosure provisions shall be subject to a fine imposed by ELEC in an amount to be
determined by the Commission which may be based upon the amount that the business entity
failed to report. The enclosed list of agencies is provided to assist the contractor in
identifying those public agencies whose elected official and/or candidate campaign
committees are affected by the disclosure requirement. It is the contractor’s responsibility to
identify the specific committees to which contributions may have been made and need to be
disclosed. The disclosed information may exceed the minimum requirement. The enclosed
