City of Fort Worth, Texas Mayor and Council Communication COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 11/11/2008 DATE: Tuesday, November 11, 2008 REFERENCE NO.: C-23171 LOG NAME: 04EVERGE SUBJECT: Authorize a Contract with eVerge Group of Texas, Ltd., to Provide Implementation Services for PeopleSoft and Employee Training for the Human Resources and Payroll Phase 1 of Enterprise Resource Planning in an Amount Not to Exceed $8,500,000.00 RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with eVerge Group of Texas, Ltd., to provide implementation services for PeopleSoft, and employee training for the Human Resources and Payroll Phase 1 Enterprise Resource Planning in an amount not to exceed $8,500,000.00. DISCUSSION: The City is currently engaged in an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Phase 1 project to replace the City's Human Resources (HR) and Payroll systems with an ERP solution. In November of 2007, the City issued a Request For Proposals (RFP) seeking ERP solutions for HR and Payroll. The RFP was issued after an extensive effort by staff to define over 3,000 requirements for a new HR and Payroll system for the City. In January 2008, the City received eight responses and one "no bid" response to the RFP. The proposals received were: • Cedar Crestone proposing a PeopleSoft solution; • Cherry Road proposing a PeopleSoft solution; • CIBER proposing a Lawson solution; • eVerge Group of Texas, Ltd., (eVerge) proposing a PeopleSoft Solution; • Oracle proposing a PeopleSoft Solution; • SAP proposing an SAP solution; • Strategic Information Services proposing an Oracle Business Suite solution; and • Sungard proposing a Sungard WAS solution. In June 2008, City staff moved forward into negotiations with Oracle to implement a PeopleSoft solution for HR and Payroll. After several weeks, negotiations reached an impasse, and City staff was unable to reach a contractual agreement for system implementation with Oracle Consulting Services. Following the suspension of negotiations with Oracle, the Evaluation Committee recommended pursuing negotiations with the next best implementation vendor proposing a PeopleSoft solution, eVerge. Negotiations with eVerge are substantially complete and staff is requesting approval to enter into an agreement with eVerge to implement a PeopleSoft solution for HR and Payroll. The proposed contract with eVerge will include the following components: Logname: 04EVERGE ' Pagel of 2 • Implementation services; including all the services necessary to install, configure, test and deploy the PeopleSoft product; • Organizational change management services necessary to assist the City in successfully transitioning from its current systems and business processes to a PeopleSoft system with improved business processes; and • Training services of the new HR/Payroll business processes for the City of Fort Worth's end-users The actual contract amount with eVerge Group will be for$7,099,949.00 and $1,400,051.00 will be reserved for contingency. It is anticipated that the implementation of PeopleSoft for HR and Payroll will begin in December 2008, with an anticipated "go live" date of April 2010.
