for extended support of the City's PeopleSoft system for Human Resources and Payroll in amounts not to

DISCUSSION:
On October 18, 2010, the City replaced its legacy Human Resources (HR) and Payroll systems with a new
PeopleSoft system (commonly known as ERP Phase I for HR/Payroll). eVerge Group of Texas, Ltd.,
(eVerge), the selected ERP vendor for Phase I, has worked with staff for the past two years to install,
configure, test and deploy the new PeopleSoft system. Salvaggio, Teal and Associates (STA) is the
principal consultant providing expert oversight, guidance and assistance for the project. As part of the
original contracts, eVerge and STA provided onsite support to the City for a period of three months after
going live on the new system (commonly called the stabilization period for the new system). On January 4,
2011, City Council approved M&C C-24677 to extend both eVerge and STA contracts to provide
continued support and stabilization assistance to resolve system issues and help City staff become fully

proficient with the new system.
In January of this year, the City selected MIPRO Consulting, L.L.C. (MIPRO) to conduct an independent
assessment of the City's newly implemented PeopleSoft system. Based on results of the MIPRO
assessment and internal continued improvement planning efforts, City staff is requesting an additional
extension for both eVerge and STA contracts to provide continued guidance and assistance for:
. Implementing recommendations from MIPRO
. Providing additional training and support for staff to improve skill levels
. Improving HR and Payroll business processes
. Improving system usability
. Improving Police timekeeping and paycheck corrections
Therefore, staff recommends amending the City's contract with eVerge Group for up to $1,576,681.00
worth of consulting support on an as-needed basis at the established hourly rates for the required
resources and services. Similarly, Staff recommends amending the City's contract with Salvaggio, Teal
and Associates for up to $199,745.00 worth of consulting support on an as-needed basis at the
established hourly rates for the required resources and services. The cost of these contracts will be
funded from available fund balance.
M/WBE -eVerge agrees to maintain its initial M/WBE commitment of 11 percent that it made on the
original agreement and extend and maintain that same M/WBE commitment of 11 percent to all prior
amendments up to and inclusive of this Amendment No. 10. Therefore, eVerge remains in compliance
with the City's M/WBE Ordinance and attests to its commitment by its signature on the Acceptance of
Previous M/WBE Commitment form executed by an authorized representative of its company.
Salvaggio, Teal & Associates, agrees to maintain its initial M/WBE commitment of 11 percent that it made
on the original agreement and extend and maintain that same M/WBE commitment of 11 percent to all
prior amendments up to and inclusive of this Amendment No. 4. Therefore, Salvaggio, Teal & Associates,
remains in compliance with the City's M/WBE Ordinance and attests to its commitment by its signature on
the Acceptance of Previous M/WBE Commitment form executed by an authorized representative of its
company.
ADMINISTRATIVE AMENDMENT - An administrative amendment or increase may be made for both
contracts by the City Manager, or his designee, for a total amount not to exceed $50,000.00 annually.
Such increase or amendment does not require specific City Council approval as long as sufficient funds
