  1. Have target dates been determined for the start and go-lives of the phases noted in section 3.1?
    No, the dates will be agreed upon during Stage 1 of the implementation which is estimated to begin in August 2019.
      
  2. Has the City determined a budget for this project? If so, can it be shared?
    $2 million has been allocated to date for the ERP implementation including a Project Manager.  The City is also requesting additional funds for the ERP implementation in the 2019-2021 Biennial budget process.

  3. Does the City have a preference for contracting a local firm for this work? If so, what weight will this have in the evaluation process?
    There is a local preference guideline located at 2-62.4 of the Alameda Municipal Code which gives a 5 percent preference for local businesses.  The ordinance makes clear, however, that contracts are to be awarded based on demonstrated competence and professional qualifications necessary for satisfactory performance

  4. Will the City allocate any City staff time to project management activities and if so, how many hours per week?
    Staff hours will be allocated for implementation but not necessarily for project management. The Finance/HR/IT Directors will also be actively involved with project oversight.
      
  5. Will the City allocate any City staff time to change management activities and if so, how many hours per week?
    Change Management consulting is part of the services Tyler Muni will perform.

    No.
