WORTH, TX 4/30/24. 10:09 AM M&C Review ACITY COUNCIL AGEND Create New From This M&C DATE: 4/9/2024 REFERENCE NO.: **M&C 24-0297 LOG NAME: CODE: C TYPE: CONSENT PUBLIC HEARING: Official site of the City of Fort Worth, Texas Fob V� 60DATAPROSE NO SUBJECT: (ALL) Authorize Execution of a Purchasing Agreement with DataProse, LLC Utilizing an Interlocal Agreement with the City of Plano in an Annual Amount Up to $1,850,000.00 and Authorize Five Consecutive One -Year Renewal Options for the Same Amount for Utility Bill Printing and Mailing Services for the Water Department RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council authorize the execution of a purchasing agreement with DataProse, LLC, utilizing an interlocal agreement with the City of Plano in an annual amount up to $1,850,000.00 and authorize five consecutive one-year renewal options for the same amount for utility bill printing and mailing services for the Water Department. DISCUSSION: The Water Department began working with DataProse in February 2009, utilizing the City of Plano's interlocal agreement. For the past 15 years, DataProse has been heavily integrated with the Utility's billing and payment processing systems, producing utility billing statements, delinquency letters, and managing the mailing of correspondence. The City's current contract will expire on September 24, 2024 and the Water Department recommends entering into another contract with the same vendor for continued services. The City of Plano (Plano) processed a Request for Proposals (RFP), RFP 2021-0440-AC, and received nine proposals. DataProse was selected for utility bill printing and mailing services because it offered the best services and pricing, and now provides these services to sixteen additional Texas municipalities, utilizing Plano's RFP. Plano's selected vendor meets the specifications related to the Fort Worth Water Department's Central Square billing system and complies with United States Postal Service regulations. It is estimated that the Water Department will spend $1,850,000.00. This figure includes projected increases in the number of customer accounts as well as a ten -cent increase in postage that is expected to take effect in 2024. With approximately 80 percent of the contract expense being postage, it should be noted that because the Water Department staff is unable to predict whether or not additional postage increases will occur in the future, the overall amount of the Agreement could increase. COOPERATIVE PURCHASE - State law provides that a local government purchasing an item under a Cooperative Purchasing Agreement satisfies state laws requiring that the local government seek competitive bids for purchase of the item. The City of Plano's RFP 2021-0440-AC was competitively bid to increase and simplify the purchasing power of local government entities. PRICE ANALYSIS - The Water Department has reviewed the pricing and determined it fair and reasonable. M/WBE OFFICE - A goal is not assigned when purchasing from an approved purchasing cooperative or public entity. ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGE ORDER -An administrative change order or increase may be made by the City Manager in the amount up to maximum allowed under state law and the City Code and does not require specific City Council approval as long as sufficient funds have been appropriated. AGREEMENT TERMS - Upon City Council approval, the initial term of this contract will begin on September 25, 2024, and end on September 24, 2025. apps.cfwnet.org/counciI_packet/mc_review.asp?ID=32004&councildate=4/9/2024 1 /2 4/30/24. 10:09 AM M&C Review RENEWAL OPTIONS - This Contract may be renewed for five additional one-year terms at the City's option, in accordance with the terms of the City of Plano's contract. This action does not require specific City Council approval provided that the City Council has appropriated sufficient funds to satisfy the City's obligations during the renewal term. RFP 2021-0440-AC began on February 2, 2022, and has seven of nine renewals remaining. If all seven of the remaining renewals are exercised, the contract will expire on February 2, 2032. Funding is budgeted in the Other Contractual Services account within the Water & Sewer Fund for the Water Department. FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION: The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendation, funds are available in the current operating budget, as previously appropriated, in the Water & Sewer Fund. Prior to an expenditure being incurred, the Water Department has the responsibility to validate the availability of funds.

However, our process would include the following steps for any new implementation: Test Data File Data Layout Client Logo New Client Checklist NCOA-Link documentation Mockup (if applicable) Your Project Manager will provide you with all documentation necessary to begin development and is able to assist you with any questions you may have from the items listed above. After the completion of the initial development, you will receive samples from DataProse. You and your Project Manager will complete a series of correction and revisions as deemed necessary in order to create your desired new statement design. Once the design of the statement is complete, you will be asked to perform a Parallel Test. For each project implemented by DataProse, you will be assigned a dedicated Account Manager to facilitate all client communication and funnel all questions or concerns. Your Account Manager will represent DataProse and will be equipped with the necessary information to complete the project. In turn, we ask that one point of contact be established at the client level to facilitate client changes, revisions and final approval for the application to be built. Although various components of the project may be assigned to specific individuals on your team, it is ultimately the main point of contact that the Account Manager will consult regarding format changes and final decisions that may arise while the project is in production. Each project is also assigned a DataProse developer. This person is responsible for the data programming associated with your application including data mapping and bill design. The Project Manager and Developer work closely to produce your final product. The developer is the person that will be a technical resource for the development of your application in the event data specific questions arise. It is imperative that all items be received and returned in a quick and efficient manner. Failure to return items as requested may result in a delayed live date. Your project cannot begin until a test data file, data layout and checklist are received. Your project completion date will be assessed once all components are returned and submitted for scheduling. A conference call may be needed within two weeks of project submission in order to answer questions regarding your data set by the assigned development programmer. In most cases, an initial sample of the project can be expected within two to three weeks from project submission. Again, this date is subject to change and will be defined on your project plan from the point of receipt of requested items. There may be components of your project that will need to be assessed outside of printing and mail delivery. If this is the case, this project will receive its own timeline and requirements in order to obtain the desired product. As with any new change, you may see a need to alter the initial sample as presented by DataProse. Your Project Manager will provide you with a Corrections and Revisions Form in order to alter the initial sample. This form is necessary to obtain your final desired project. Your preference may be to increase the font of one section or add your website and office hours. In any case, be sure to clearly define your requested revisions to your PM and on the correction and revisions form. We understand that it may be necessary to complete a series of corrections and revisions. As a general rule, we anticipate a maximum of three rounds of corrections and revisions. 13 Exhibit B Page 29 of 66 DATAprose� PROJECT TIMELINE Project Phase 1— Project Overview and Scope Defined —Three (3) Weeks Plan • Schedule a project kick-off session with the City's team. • Identify client stakeholders involved and confirm overall project scope. • Review selected documents components and process.

A typical meeting will address any processing issues and establish planning for product enhancements, document changes or quality control procedures. In addition, we expect open communication and encourage our clients to keep regular contact. Ultimately, the measure of value is left to our customers. With the extremely high contract renewal rate that DataProse has sustained, we have confirmed that our services add value to our clients and are high quality. DataProse feels the key to a successful vendor customer relationship is matching resources. Having key resources in place that understands the client and their business needs will ensure continued success. DataProse will match resources at the operational level for daily activity, as well as at the executive level for primary decision -making, strategy and key development tasks. Our ADF (Automated Document Factory) utilizes a Problem Fault Management system called ITSM (IR "Incident Report" System). Each problem, or IR, is tracked as a ticket using an internal computer program. Tickets are entered, updated and closed within this system, allowing users to trace the IR from the reporting of the problem to its closure. Clients are given ticket information, including the ticket number, so that they can call their Account Manager for information regarding a ticket's status. Data Prose's mindset of "zero defects" is the high standard to which DataProse holds itself. The zero defects philosophy encourages everyone to accept no mistakes, delays or rework as a business practice, but rather to learn from the mistakes, set an obtainable goal, develop a plan to reach that goal, and then raise the goal. As employees utilize their quality training, the results have proven to be beneficial to both the employee and more importantly - to the customer. At our Production Centers, quality issues are tracked on a weekly basis and evaluated by management. DataProse has constructed the Production Centers to have key checkpoints throughout the facilities where each job is scanned, and the data is automatically integrated into a database that is available to our customers 247. Automated Document Factory (ADF) has been installed and is an internal platform that provides the ability to track mail to the piece level versus job level, presenting greater quality and mail piece integrity for our clients. ADF provides an enhanced level of tracking for documents and related materials for our customers, improving quality of products produced and operational efficiencies. DataProse also employs both manual and automate checks to facilitate our total quality management as well. First there are several manual checks where a print operator may stop and review the output for errors, streaks, alignment, etc. The insert operators also pause production to review output like checking for sealed envelopes. We use in house engineers to do regular machine maintenance. We also employ software and hardware audits to ensure quality. For example, there is software running on each inserter that tracks the total number of documents in addition to cameras scanning the documents as they process. It's this combination of human, machine and software, each auditing each other, that provides the highest quality. Along with manual and automated cross checks by production managers and supervisors, our facilities utilize a report known as the "JOBS IN PROGRESS" report. This production related report allows management a physical check -off for all jobs residing within our production centers and aids in maintaining our high -quality standards. DataProse also utilizes a unique feature known as "storyboards", which follows each and every job throughout the facility and is a physical reporting tool used to ensure quality processing for all customers. The storyboard contains specific information related to the job such as SLAB, time stamps, quantities, materials, visual references for production personnel, and customer information. During each phase of the job, it is scanned into the database and the personnel or operator is required to initial the physical storyboard. 29 Exhibit B Page 45 of 66 DATAprose� In summary, the zero defects philosophy encourages everyone to accept no mistakes, delays or rework as a business practice, but rather to learn from the mistakes, set an obtainable goal, develop a plan to reach that goal and then raise the goal. As employees utilize their quality training, the results have proven to be beneficial to both the employee and more importantly - to the customer. CONFIDENTIALITY & SECURITY It is the policy of DataProse to ensure the privacy and security of our client's data. Destruction/disposal client data shall be carried out in accordance with federal and state law and as defined in the organizational retention policy. The schedule for destruction/disposal shall be suspended for records involved in any open investigation, audit, or litigation. In order to protect all client data from an unauthorized access, DataProse systems are secured at many levels, including 128bit SSL encryption from multiple firewalls, physical and logical segregation of processing systems. Rights and roles are closely managed and monitored to ensure only those people and systems requiring access, are granted access. Finally, DataProse has automated systems pruning non -essential data to ensure data that is not required, is not retained. Furthermore, the DataProse production facilities are card -key access controlled, 100% monitored by camera systems. DataProse off -site data centers are controlled in a similar manner with the added protection of biometric scanning access. DataProse's sophisticated piece level processing and tracking systems (Automated Document Factory- ADF) is our internal platform that provides the ability to track mail to the piece level versus job level, presenting greater quality and mail piece integrity for our clients. Every page of every bill or document is "fingerprinted" with sequencing numbers and characters (piece IDs embedded in our 2D symbology), which allows 100% integrity of every mail piece. The production centers have key checkpoints throughout the facility where each job is scanned and the data is automatically integrated into a database and web application (DP JobTrax) that is available to our customers 24/7. Manual and automated cross checks are deployed throughout the facility and process and production employees receive monthly bonuses for zero defects. It is this combination of human, machine and software, each auditing each other, that provides the highest quality. 3u Exhibit B Page 46 of 66 D,4TAprose� DATA SECURITY & BUSINESS CONTINUITY PLAN 1. Business Continuity Planning Strategy Business Continuity Planning (BCP) aims to prevent or minimize damage from disruptions in operations. DataProse Business Continuity Plans are intended to: Prevent a minor incident from becoming a major issue Clearly outline roles and responsibilities Minimize loss of data and revenue Protect the DataProse reputation Satisfy the DataProse obligations to its employees, customers, and community Comply with applicable laws and regulations 2. DataProse Business Continuity Policy It is the policy of DataProse that plans are developed and maintained to ensure adequate continuity in the event of a disaster. DataProse business continuity plans are designed to protect the interest of our customers, and employees. 3. Assumptions Not all incidents or events will lead to a disaster declaration. The declaration of a disaster will be reserved for major system and/or infrastructure failures (network, facility or computer hardware/software) where initiation of BCP recovery procedures is required. BCP Plans and recovery procedures are developed around a single disaster or event impacting the DataProse business -critical functions. Alternate sites/vendors/resources will be available to DataProse at the time of need. Qualified personnel in sufficient quantities are available to perform recovery activities. Organizations external to DataProse, such as vendors and government agencies will be reasonably cooperative during the recovery period. 4. Recovery Sites Our DataProse business continuity strategy integrates alternate DataProse facilities (Cormell. TX. and Sacramento. CA) and 3rd Party Alternate Work Site Agreements. 5. Recovery Strategy Recovery facilities are stand-alone production facilities encompassing statement production, warehousing and administrative departments. All plans are developed so that work can be moved from facility to facility and in this way, serve to back one another up. Business Continuity Plans are consistent with the following steps: Declaration: DataProse will communicate to all customers that a disaster has been declared and that DataProse is operating in disaster recovery mode. DataProse will be responsible for vendor notification - obtaining additional forms and materials for transport to the alternate processing facilities. All statements from the impacted facility will be transferred and processed through one of the alternate processing facilities where printing, inserting and mailing functions will take place. Data Transmission: Upon a disaster declaration by DataProse, customers will not need to make any change to their statement file transmission method. Customers with dedicated circuits would have to provide statement data via tape or over the internet. (DataProse will provide assistance to those customers wishing to use the internet to ensure connectivity). 31 Exhibit B Page 47 of 66 DATAp7'OS2m Printing: Printing will be performed by the alternate processing facilities or the third -party print and mail vendor. DataProse will attempt to use all available custom forms; however, we may elect to use plain white forms without logos to ensure mail is processed in as timely a manner as possible. DataProse will make every attempt in a disaster to print utilizing the same type/model of printers as used in non -disaster situations but may elect not to provide highlight color or full business color as an option. Inserting: Inserting will be performed by the alternate processing facilities or the third -party print and mail vendor. Custom inserts will not be included as part of the inserting process. Dynamically created inserts can be included. The decision to include/not to include inserts will be reviewed as the resumption process continues. DataProse will continue to handle and be responsible for special handling needs - processing holds, etc. Generic carrier and remit envelopes will be used at the onset of the disaster declaration. The decision to include/not to include custom carrier and remit envelopes will be reviewed as the resumption process continues. Zip Sorting: DataProse will continue to process mail pieces in zip code order for presentment to the USPS to ensure the best Postal rate is achieved. DataProse will provide a report of volume for work processed each day. Production Services: DataProse will continue to perform job reconciliation and postage payment functions. DataProse will continue to perform reprint capabilities. Warehousing: All incoming, receiving, and warehousing functions will be performed by the alternate processing facilities or the third -party print and mail vendor. 6. Client Communications As part of a comprehensive communications plan that outlines the management, escalation and communication processes during a disaster situation, the facility general manager will coordinate communications to its internal customers. Working together and in accordance with the overall business continuity plans, communications will share information and/or impacts with clients as timely as is possible. 32 Exhibit B Page 48 of 66 D,4TAprose� SECTION 4 - ADDED VALUE Added Value 7.61 Preference will be given to companies providing high -quality in-house insert printing. ✓ DataProse meets this requirement and currently offers this service to the City. 7.62 Provide occasional courier service for special delivery and pick up requests. ✓ DataProse meets this requirement and currently offers this service to the City. 7.63 The City of Plano encourages offerors to provide Environmentally Preferable Products.
