Exhibit A
Scope of Services
FTW has provided LFM with confidential sales tax data provided by the State Comptroller's Office for
the 24-month period ending December 2009. LFM prepared an analysis and prototype report to FTW to
establish the nature of the information that will be provided to FTW by LFM on either a monthly or
quarterly basis as desired by FTW. The prototype report contained confidential data, which makes it
against the law to include as an attachment to this contract. However, FTW staff will attest that they
have received a prototype report and LFM attests that the services to be provided shall be consistent
with the prototype report. A description of the prototype report is as follows:
• First and foremost, LFM and FTW will at all times adhere to all state laws requiring that the
confidential sales tax files be used for the intended purpose of economic forecasting and will be
kept confidential.
• LFM shall prepare a comparison of overall sales tax performance of FTW to a comparable city
list of the city's choosing. This comparison will be made in summary form using the database
made public by the State Comptroller.
■ FTW shall request from the State Comptroller and provide to LFM the confidential sales tax
database/files in electronic format on a monthly basis.
• LFM shall reconcile State Comptroller confidential files to revenues as shown on actual public
receipt reports. FTW shall be responsible for soliciting information from the State Comptroller
regarding any significant variances.
■ LFM shall produce new businesses added list from state files and track them into the actual
revenue files.
• LFM shall produce a list of businesses that have been removed from the list or that appear to be
delinquent on payments. The results of the watch list and the resolution of such accounts shall be
the responsibility of FTW; however, LFM shall take significant delinquent or removed
businesses into consideration for forecasting purposes.
■ LFM shall produce an analysis and report of all audit adjustments designated in the sales tax
confidential file, if made available by the State Comptroller. Audit adjustments, both positive
and negative, can be significant and need to be incorporated into consideration for forecasting
purposes.
■ LFM shall produce rolling 12-month reports to smooth out monthly variations and be more
helpful for trend analysis. This information shall also be prepared in graphical form for the Top
Payers that represent at least 80%of the total sales tax revenues.
■ LFM shall prepare a Revenue Vulnerability report to isolate those larger taxpayers that might be
non-recurring or particularly subject to change — such as for major construction projects, mineral
extract companies, etc.
r
• LFM shall produce summaries by North American Industry Classification System (NAILS) code
at the 3-digit and 5-digit level. These summaries will be used to analyze industry groups and to
separate sales tax receipts into two broad categories: 1) Retail Consumer and 2) Business-to-
Business. The forecasting model shall include different methodologies to forecast each of these
two components.
LFM shall prepare a rolling 12-month sales tax forecast at the business level that can be
summarized at the NAIC S code level. LFM is responsible for documenting assumptions in
conjunction with key FTW staff input. However, neither LFM nor FTW can assure the future
economic forecasted events will materialize nor is there any control over individual business
decisions by significant sales tax payers.
Timetable
FTW shall provide the confidential sales tax files obtained from the State Comptroller as soon as
available each month. LFM shall prepare and present analyses and reports to FTW within 10 business
days of the monthly or quarterly report option dates. For instance, if FTW elects to have reports
prepared quarterly, the confidential sales tax data shall be given to LFM monthly, and LFM shall have
10 business days to render analyses and reports to FTW upon receipt of the monthly data that completes
a quarter of data. The quarterly time cycle is at the option of FTW, either calendar quarter or collection
quarter. For instance, the collection quarter for calendar quarter ending in December would be following
February.
Term of Agreement& Fees
A fee schedule can be found in Exhibit B. The fees are based on the length of the contract. The City of
Fort Worth has selected to engage LFM for a period of three years. FTW has also elected to receive the
analyses and reports prepared by LFM on a quarterly basis. Therefore, the fee shall be $6,200 per
quarter.
The payment shall be due to LFM upon receipt of the report by FTW. An invoice shall be sent in
advance so that payment can be processed and ready to be released upon receipt of the monthly or
quarterly report.
Fort Worth can elect to switch from a quarterly report basis to a monthly report basis at any time, and
the attached fee schedule shall apply. For instance, the $5,200 quarterly fee shall be changed to a $2,950
monthly fee if FTW elects to receive the analyses and reports on a monthly basis.
Ownership of Data & Work Products
This Agreement is intended to be a service agreement and is not a software sale or lease. Therefore,
LFM and FTW agree to these following items.
• LFM's work product given to FTW shall be in the form of Adobe PDF files. There will be no
paper reports. All PDF files shall be delivered to only one designated FTW staff person.
• LFM will use Excel 2007 (and Excel 2010 when released), SQL Reporting Services, Crystal
Reports and several other Business Intelligence software tools LFM finds ideal for this service.
These work products belong to LFM and shall not be the property of FTW.
• The raw sales tax data belongs to FTW.
• The compiled and analyzed sales tax data, including forecasting models shall belong to LFM.
■ LFM will allow FTW to take possession of any work products under the following conditions:
• The contract period has expired or the contract has otherwise been terminated.
• The work product can be used for internal uses only.
• The work product cannot be given or shown to other cities, a private vendor, individual
or anyone outside the City.
• Any In-House enhancements to the work products shall belong to FTW, but will have the
same constraints as the transferred work products.
• Any enhancements to the work product by LFM shall not accrue to FTW unless LFM is
compensated.
• CityBase does not have a work product designed to be used "off-the-shelf." Therefore,
there could be training required by CityBase that would be accomplished under a separate
fee based on the experience of the in-house individual designated to be trained and the
time involved to conduct the training.
Confidential Information & Security
All of the information will be kept confidential in accordance with state laws. CityBase would prefer to
exchange data and products through one City employee so that a clear "chain of custody" is
documented.
Public Information
LFM prepares city-to-city comparisons on a monthly basis, all of which is from data available to the
public through the State Comptroller's Office. This data is shared with governmental entities statewide
and has a high probability of being reported by the news media. LFM reserves the right to publish data
of this nature that might include the City in comparisons with other cities but under no circumstances
would involve any of the confidential data.
