CITY OF FORT WORTH: SALVAGGIO,TEAL & ASSOCIATES By: �� �Z cA�� By: Karen L. Montgomery U Nathan L. Frey, Partney Assistant City/Manaaagger/ CFO Salvaggio, Teal & Asstes Date: 1� Date: ATTEST: By: ' City Secretary APPROVED AS TO FORM AND LEGALITY: By: Assistant C y Attorney Contract Authorization: Date Approved: CFW/STA Amendment No. 1 to CSC No. 35398 �u� Page 2 of 2 RUN � T7 .GLa EXHIBIT A-1 SCOPE OF WORK ADJUSTMENTS FOR PHASE 1 The scope adjustments are in response to certain project conditions and developments that were unknown or unforeseen by the City and Salvaggio, Teal & Associates (STA) during creation of the original contract. These developments resulted in the need for additional work by STA beyond the contractual deliverables but also eliminated the need for other planned deliverables. The conditions leading to the scope adjustments are described below: 1. Overall Change in Approach for the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Project: The original contract and project plan had contemplated a series of project start-up activities that would be followed by development of a business case supporting the need for a new ERP system to replace the City's finance, procurement, and HR/payroll applications. Soon after STA's engagement began with the City in May 2006, City management recognized the need to continue progress and dedicate the Finance Department resources to the completion of the 2006 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR). The City Manager and Assistant City Management team requested development options that would allow the City to meet its CAFR needs as well as continue with progress on the ERP Project. The gathering of research and development of options delayed initiation of core project tasks by approximately four weeks. During this period, the planned start-up activities were either completed during development of project options or became irrelevant due to the passing of time. Additionally, the research performed in these early activities indicated that the need for replacement of the finance, procurement, and HR/payroll systems was generally accepted throughout City management and departments. Further significance of this time extension impacted the project primarily by moving the evaluation of the vendor responses to the post-December holiday time period. In addition, the evaluations of vendor demonstrations were subsequently pushed into the month of March that further required the project to accommodate spring break. 2. Re-launch of the Advisory Committee: One of the distinctive aspects of the ERP- HR/Payroll project is the enterprise nature of the impacts. The software, once implemented, will affect all departments and employees. Thus, it was critical for the success of the overall ERP project to ensure that the decision-making structure associated with the project was built appropriately. This included the creation of an Advisory Committee that had appropriate representation from all stakeholders, the definition and understanding of its scope of responsibilities, and the agreement of its role and scope in relationship to the Executive Sponsor and the Executive Steering Committee. The re-launch and definition of the Advisory Committee in December 2007 and January 2008 was critical to ensure buy-in at the key decision points regarding vendors to select for demonstrations and vendors to include in a Best and Final Offer process. This additional level of review and approvals increased the complexity and duration of the " overall selection process and increased the effort needed of the City project team and STA to complete the selection process. 3. Extensive Best and Final Offer Process: The use of a best and final offer (BAFO) process was an option discussed during contract negotiations with STA. However, no deliverable was established for the BAFO process. Given the closeness in the scores of the top two vendors, the large disparity in price, and the distinctiveness in their underlying approach to the solution (i.e., one chose to fit the requirements as much as possible and the other chose to go with the software as-is, thus forgoing modification), the BAFO process was determined to be the best method for the Evaluation Team to determine the proposal representing the best overall value for the City. Because of these disparate approaches, there was a need for a comprehensive and well-developed Best and Final Offer request that would allow the City to bring the two vendors to a more comparable basis. In addition to standard questions for both vendors, the BAFO request was tailored to address numerous concerns unique to each vendor's proposal. This extended the overall time anticipated for the BAFO process and the required effort to arrive at a final recommendation. 4. Additional Reference Checking: Due to the closeness of the final two vendors, the City decided to conduct additional reference conference calls to allow the evaluation process to leverage as much information as possible in determining the final recommendation of the selected vendor. These additional reference checks extended the schedule and hours required for coordinating, conducting, and validating reference checks. 5. Additional Support for Decision-making: The decision to select an ERP-HR/Payroll system for implementation will result in a significant expenditure of funds for the City. STA will expend substantial additional effort in gathering the appropriate research and analysis to support executive management's final selection. Ultimately, the City's project team and STA will also have a high level of involvement in preparing the City Council for this decision. This contract amendment will allow the required flexibility by all involved to respond and provide information and support as requested by the City. 6. Pre-negotiation Preparations: Following the extensive BAFO process and final vendor selection, STA will expend effort consolidating and organizing materials from the evaluation and BAFO processes to position the team to enter the negotiation phase. A significant part of this work will be capturing all outstanding questions, issues, and points of concern that have surfaced throughout the evaluation and BAFO process that will need to be brought to resolution during negotiations. In addition, STA will assist in identifying, organizing and preparing the negotiations team to enter the negotiations phase. gyp} REVISED EXHIBIT B, PHASE I PAYMENT SCHEDULE Payment Projected Phase Del iverable/M i lestone Payment Event Amount Payment Date a A.c is ran Work Related to Re-Scoping/Re- Project Initiation Starting Project and Project Management $64,218 9/28/2007 Draft Financial/Budget/ Procurement Initial requirements review Requirements meetings completed. $33,852 9/28/2007 Draft HR/Payroll Initial requirements review Requirements meetings completed. $35,285 10/8/2007 Develop Final HR/Payroll HR/Payroll requirements Requirements Requirements approved. $35,285 11/8/2007 General/Technical General/Technical requirements Requirements approved. $12,640 11/8/2007 Interface/Conversion Interface/Conversion requirements Requirements approved. $28,087 11/8/2007 Requirements Document Requirements Approved complete.
