CITY OF "ENTURA
FINANCE DEPARTMENT
MEMORANDUM
TO: City Commission
FROM: Ronald J. Wasson, City Manager
BY: Melissa Cruz, Finance Director (�l ,
DATE: May 10, 2024
SUBJECT: Resolution Setting Forth the Ranking of Firms to Provide an
Enterprise Resource Planning ("ERP") Solution
May 16, 2024 City Commission Special Meeting Agenda
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended by the ERP Selection Committee (the "Committee) that the City
Commission adopt the attached resolution which sets forth the ranking of firms to
provide an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution that the City will implement
providing for a modern, core financial system that integrates with existing Community
Services, Community Development and Human Resources applications.
BACKGROUND
The City currently utilizes the same financial system software that was implemented
shortly after the City incorporated over 25 years ago. The City's current system, HTE, is
outdated, inefficient and extremely limited as far as reporting, data access and
transparency. Upgrading and implementing a new system is imperative and long
overdue. Moving to a more innovative and user-friendly solution will allow the City to
step forward into a paperless environment, improving processes tremendously as well
as providing efficiencies in data transfers, financial reporting and application integration
across all City departments.
The City established a Selection Committee consisting of the Finance Director,
Controller, IT Director, and HR Manager. The Committee was formed to-
- Publicly announce requests for proposals
- Provide interested firms with a request for proposal
- Evaluate proposals
The City prepared an RFP which included detailed criteria for the evaluation of
proposals and for the ranking of firms. The City advertised the availability of the RFP in
1
the Daily Business Review on November 27, 2023. In addition, a solicitation package
was made available from www.demandstar.com on November 27, 2023. Proposers
were given until January 5, 2024 to submit questions. An addendum to the RFP was
sent out by the City on December 26, 2023 which answered and addressed the
questions that were submitted through that date. No additional questions were received
between December 26, 2023 and the deadline on January 5, 2024. Six proposals were
received and opened at Government Center on January 12, 2024. The six (6) proposals
are listed (in alphabetical order) below-
- BS&A Software
- CentralSquare Technologies
- Harris ERP
- Oracle America
- Springbrook Software
- Tyler Technologies
The proposals were reviewed by the Committee. As part of the evaluation process, the
Committee shortlisted the six (6) proposals to three (3) firms. All three firms made in-
person software demonstrations at Aventura Government Center to the Committee over
2 and a half days each from April 3 to April 12, 2024.
After the demonstrations concluded, the Committee ranked the firms in order of
preference (listed below) as to the most highly qualified to perform the required services.
Committee's Ranking of Consulting Firms in order of preference (with 1 being the best):
1. Tyler Technologies
2. CentralSquare Technologies
3. Oracle America
Based on the foregoing, the Committee requests that the City Commission approve the
attached resolution establishing a ranking of firms to provide an ERP solution. A copy
of the RFP, submittals by all firms and other supporting documents are available for
review in the Finance Department.
The City Commission can approve the rankings of the Committee or may establish a
different ranking. If the Commission chooses to rank the firms in a different order than
that which was recommended by the Committee, they must document in its public
records the reason for not selecting the highest ranked firm and the reason for the
change in ranking cannot be due to compensation. Assuming adoption of the attached
resolution by the Commission, the Administration shall negotiate a contract with the
first-ranked firm. If the Administration is unable to negotiate a satisfactory contract with
that firm, negotiations with that firm shall terminate and the Administration shall then
negotiate with the second-ranked firm and so on, until a contract is obtained.
At the July 2024 Commission meeting, the Administration will submit a contract for an
ERP solution for approval based on the negotiations.
