to enter into this Agreement. Contractor represents that all of its work will be performed in
accordance with generally accepted professional practices and standards as well as the
requirements of applicable federal, state,and local laws,it being understood that acceptance of a
Contractor's work by City will not operate as a waiver or release.
Contractor agrees to indemnify and defend the City, its officers, employees, agents, and
representatives and hold them harmless from any and all liability,causes of action,claims,losses,
damages, judgments, or other costs or expenses, including attorney's fees and witness costs (at
both trial and appeal level,whether or not a trial or appeal ever takes place including any hearing
before federal or state administrative agencies),that may be asserted by any person or entity which
in any way arise from, during, or in connection with the performance of the work described in

indemnification will also cover claims brought against the City under state or federal worker's

Contractor and its subcontractors must maintain insurance acceptable to City in full force and
effect throughout the term of this Agreement. Such insurance must cover risks arising directly or
indirectly out of Contractor's activities or work hereunder, including the operations of its
subcontractors of any tier.
A. Standard Coverage.The policy or policies of insurance maintained by the Contractor must
provide at least the limits and coverages in Exhibit A of this Agreement.The procuring of
such required insurance will not be construed to limit Contractor's liability hereunder.
Notwithstanding said insurance, Contractor is obligated for the total amount of any
damage,injury, or loss caused by negligence or neglect connected with this Agreement.
B. Workers' Compensation. The Contractor, its subcontractors, if any, and all employers
providing work,labor,or materials under this Agreement that are subject employers under
the Oregon Workers' Compensation Law must comply with ORS 656.017,which requires
them to provide workers' compensation coverage that satisfies Oregon law for all their
subject workers. Out-of-state employers must provide Oregon workers' compensation
coverage for their workers who work at a single location within Oregon for more than 30
days in a calendar year. Contractors who perform work without the assistance or labor of
any employee need not obtain workers' compensation coverage. All non-exempt

than$1,000,000 each accident.

D. Insurance Carrier Rating. Coverages provided by the Contractor must be underwritten by
an insurance company deemed acceptable by the City. All policies of insurance must be
written by companies having an A.M. Best rating of"A-VII" or better, or equivalent. The
City reserves the right to reject all or any insurance carrier(s)with an unacceptable financial
rating.
E. Self-Insurance. The City understands that some contractors may self-insure for business
risks and the City will consider whether such self-insurance is acceptable if it meets the
minimum insurance requirements for the type of coverage required. If Contractor is self-
insured for commercial general liability or automobile liability insurance, Contractor must
provide evidence of such self-insurance. Contractor must provide a Certificate of
Insurance showing evidence of the coverage amounts on a form acceptable to the City.
The City reserves the right in its sole discretion to determine whether self-insurance is
adequate.
F. Primary Coverage Clarification. The parties agree that Contractor's coverage is primary to
the extent permitted by law. The parties further agree that other insurance maintained by
the City is excess and not contributory insurance with the insurance required in this section.
G. Cross-Liability Clause. A cross-liability clause or separation of insureds clause will be
included in the general liability policy required by this Agreement.
H. Certificates of Insurance. As evidence of the insurance coverage required by the
Agreement, Contractor will furnish a Certificate of Insurance to the City. No Agreement
is effective until the required Certificates of Insurance have been received and approved
by the City.The certificate will specify and document all provisions within this Agreement
and include a copy of Additional Insured Endorsement (other than Workers'
Compensation and Professional Liability). All certificates, including renewals are

will pay Contractor for services rendered to the date of termination.

A. Firm Qualifications and Project Team
DATA CLIMB is a technology and management consulting firm specializing in Enterprise Resource
Planning Systems implementations. Below are more details on our firm and our qualifications to assist
the City of Tigard with this important project.
Our Firm
DATA CLIMB, LLC, is an information technology and management consultancy that specializing in all
the services needed to support Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and other enterprise systems
implementation projects. We are an S-Corporation that was founded by three principal owners who had
more than 80 years of combined technology experience. For two (2) years prior to the firm's founding,
our principals developed significant chemistry from working together as consultants on a Tyler
Technologies system implementation. After this experience, they decided to form a partnership. So, in
2019, they established DATA CLIMB and decided to make ERP technology services a core part of the
service offering. In our relatively short existence, we have assisted clients with multiple implementations
or Tyler and other ERP systems. Our firm is headquartered in Chicago, with additional offices in Atlanta
and Houston. We will manage the project from our headquarters, which is located at 205 North
Michigan Avenue, Suite 810, Chicago, Illinois, 60601.
As our name implies, we are a System Integrator with highly qualified, senior resources who have the
data and technical skillsets needed to select and implement cloud-based and on-premises ERP
solutions. What differentiates us from other firms is that we actually have the functional and technical
skillsets and services to effectively cover all phases of any ERP program, from needs assessment to
vendor selection, to implementation and deployment. We also have services to assist with every portion
of the work effort, including the following:
■ Program management • Stakeholder engagement
■ Requirements analysis ■ Application configuration
■ Business process reengineering ■ Data conversion, migration, and cleansing
■ Organizational change readiness ■ Quality assurance testing
■ Learning and enablement ■ Systems integration
■ Communications ■ Solution architecture and infrastructure
■ Leadership alignment ■ Cloud migration
Our specific focus on ERP implementations in the public sector makes us well qualified to assist the
City. In fact, 70% of our engagements to date have been in the public sector, and 90% of them were
ERP implementations. Cloud migrations were a part of 100% of our ERP projects, and we provided
project management for 90% of them.
Our experience provides us with a great breadth of experience in meeting project challenges and
delivering on-time solutions that are a good fit. We believe that our proposal demonstrates these
differentiating factors through our staff, past experience, approach, methodologies and best practices.
Our Resources
We proposed to meet the City's Project Director needs by deploying Clarence Clark, one of our Senior

Program Managers, who will dedicate at least 25-30 hours per week for the duration of the
implementation project. We realize that Project Director time requirements are dependent on project
needs at that time and may vary each week. Therefore, Clarence will be prepared to dedicate additional
time to ensure the success of the project, if required. Clarence has other on-going project
responsibilities for a client that include overseeing a project team. These responsibilities typically
require 4-8 hours per month and will not impact his availability for the City's project.
Consultant Experience and Availability
We propose our Senior Program Manager, Clarence Clark, to manage this project for the City.
Clarence is also a Managing Principal for DATA CLIMB with more than 30 years of experience
implementing enterprise-wide technology business transformation programs in both the public and
private sectors, and he has managed programs with most of the leading ERP vendors.
This experience includes managing multiple implementations of Munis ERP and other Tyler
Technologies software solutions, which means he is well versed in the Munis implementation
methodology, as well as the Tyler organizational structure. This is important because the success of the
City's project will be highly dependent on two important factors: (1) the Project Director's understanding
of the RACI model of who does what and when between the Tyler and the client teams during the
implementation, and (2) the ability to work with the assigned Munis Project Managers and
Implementation Consultants to navigate the highly siloed Tyler organizational structure. It will be
necessary for the City Project Director to work multiple Tyler resources from different organizations,
depending on the software products and activities being performed (e.g., cloud-based hardware
deployment, implementation, support, etc.). Clarence has significant experience working with all the
Tyler organizations and has developed strong relationships that have helped our Tyler projects be
highly successful.
Clarence also has additional impressive qualifications with Organizational Change Readiness. He has
been formally trained in Prosci ADKAR and Lean Six Sigma methods and has successfully used them
to assist clients with more than 25 ERP implementations. He will be able to develop plans and lead the
City through important change efforts, such as Leadership Alignment, Stakeholder Engagement,
Change Champion Networking, Change Impact Assessment, Department Preparedness, and Business
Process Reengineering.
Clarence is immediately available to assist the City with this project and he has the bandwidth to work
the estimated 25-30 hours or more per week with no time constraints. More details about his
experience may be found in his attached resume in Appendix A. Resumes.
Work Quality Assurance and Cost Control
Our project governance model includes deploying several quality assurance and cost control
procedures to manage the project. Below are some of the key procedures our Project Director will
implement.
1. Weekly Project Status Reporting— Conduct weekly meetings with the Core Project Team of City
Stakeholders and the Tyler Project Managers to review project progress, risks, and issues.
2. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)—Work with the City to develop KPIs that reflect the City's
goals and objectives. Our Project Director will ensure the KPIs are quantifiable and measurable

metrics around scope, deliverables, and timeline against which ERP vendor performance will be
evaluated.
3. Project Milestone Reviews— Conduct project reviews at each major project milestone of the Tyler
Munis ERP Implementation Methodology wherein we evaluate deliverable and work product quality
and the City's overall satisfaction with performance.
4. Change Control — Define and deploy for the process for raising, evaluating, and approving Change
Requests that potentially impact scope, timeline, resources, and budget.
5. Budget Development— Use the Tyler Investment Summary to help the City develop a
comprehensive project budget of all project costs and expenses.
6. Monthly Budget reviews—Work with the City to schedule a monthly meeting to review the
established project budget, and particularly, any material variances that need to be addressed.
Firm Management
Many consulting firms have pools of resources that have varying availability and responsibility to client
projects. This can result in multiple resources having responsibility for a task overtime which can lead to
inconsistencies and the loss of knowledge in the transition. We operate very differently and have a
client project focus wherein most of our consulting resources are dedicated to a specific client project.
This allows our team to develop a strong understanding of the client and demonstrate our capabilities.
Our Executive Leadership Team is comprised of three (3) very capable principals who have over 80
years of combined experience with ERP technology implementations. This includes expertise and
leadership roles in all the critical disciplines, such as Program Management, Organizational Change
Readiness, Business Process Reengineering, ERP Vendor Management, Data Migration,
Transformation and Cleansing, Solution Architecture, Security and Cloud Migration. We have access to
their collective capabilities on every client engagement and they are able to serve as advisors in their
respective areas of expertise, when needed.
Our consulting staff also has very strong capabilities. We are proud that 73% of our consultants have
project management certifications and an average of more than 17 years of experience leading
projects. More than 95% of our consultants have experience working with clients in the public sector
and 91% have assisted clients with ERP Implementations. Each of our client projects in both practices
are overseen by an Engagement Manager who has responsibility for managing client relationship and
contractual matters. Our Project teams are led by our Project Managers and typically vary in size from
four (4) to seven (7) Consultants, depending on the services being delivered. This demonstrates our
commitment and capabilities to the type of skillsets and experience needed to assist the City with this
project.

B. Project Approach and Methodology
Our Proposal Response Team has reviewed the RFP and developed a good understanding of the
City's requirements. We propose to use the DATA CLIMB Program Management and Organizational
Change Readiness Methodologies as the framework for our approach to this project.
A key component of this framework will include the development and deployment of a Project
Management Office (PMO) to lead all critical areas of the project. The PMO will provide the needed
organizational structure and roles and responsibilities for City, Tyler, and DATA CLIMB team members.
The DATA CLIMB PM Methodology also includes a Governance Model to facilitate clear and
transparent decision-making, and to provide the standards, processes, and tools for effective
management of the project, scope, schedule, risks, and budget.
The Project Director will also use the DATA CLIMB Organizational Change Readiness Methodology to
provide effective strategies that will help prepare the City's departments for the changes to come. It will
bring methods for addressing all the change disciplines, including Leadership Alignment, Stakeholder
Management, Change Impact Assessment, Organizational Transformation, Learning and Enablement,
and Communications and Engagement.
Our methods align well with the Tyler Munis Implementation Methodology, and they will be tailored to
specific City needs. Our proposed Director is very familiar with these methods from assisting clients
with multiple similar Tyler implementations. More details on these methodologies may be found in the
following sections.
Overall Project Management Approach
One of our first activities will be the development of the PMO. It will be led by the DATA CLIMB Project
Director and include project managers from the City and Tyler teams. The objectives of this project
body are to manage the key project areas that drive the success of your project. The PMO will establish
the framework and governance, which will guide project tasks, activities, deliverables, standards, and
procedures. It will be led by the DATA CLIMB Project Director and include the City Executive Project
Sponsor and the Tyler Project Managers.
The PMO will develop the Project Plan and Schedule, organize the project team and all functional and
technical workstreams, and hold responsibility for management of the Tyler Teams that are involved
with the project; Implementation, Data Conversion, Deployment, Support, TSM, etc. The PMO will also
coordinate with Stakeholders to manage the City business and technical Subject Matter Experts
(SMEs) who will be needed throughout the project. Our PMO will effectively plan and schedule activities
in a manner that provides City Staff with sufficient advanced notice to be able to plan their involvement

1. Implementation Value Assurance
Our PMO will provide oversight of the project implementation tasks, activities, and deliverables and
help assure that the City is able to realize the expected value out of its investment in the ERP solution.
Our PM will work with the Tyler Team to review and analyze the City's Current State functional and
technical requirements then manage the development of the Future State of systems and business
processes. The PM will then manage the reengineering of business processes and validate the solution
design to ensure it meets all City requirements.
The DATA CLIMB Project Director will work with the Tyler Team to conduct quality assurance testing of
the Munis system. However, in the Tyler Munis Implementation Methodology, the client is typically
responsible for User Acceptance Testing (UAT). Therefore, our PM will develop the strategy and plan
and coordinate City resources to execute this phase of quality assurance testing.
Our PM will also work with the Tyler Team to develop the strategy and plan for End User Training. He
will coordinate the development of training materials. This can typically be done by leverage the
procedure manuals available on the Tyler intranet site that is available to clients. These documents will
serve as the training content templates. The PM will manage the revisions to these documents to
include City-specific system configuration, screenshots, and procedures. Our PM will coordinate the
training sessions with end-users. If the City has contracted with Tyler to assist with training, our PM will
coordinate with the Tyler PM and Implementation Consultants (ICs) to deliver the training to City end-
users. Otherwise, the PM will work with the City to identify Trainers for this purpose.
Finally, the DATA CLIMB Project Director will work with the Tyler Team and City IT Department to
coordinate the Go-live Cutover and deployment of the system in the City's production environment. This
includes assisting with the development of a Cutover Plan and reviewing organizational change
readiness. Our PM will also provide oversight of the HyperCare Support phase after Go-live to ensure

that all production issues are raised for quick resolution with the Tyler Implementation and Support
Teams.
2. Program Management and Governance
The DATA CLIMB Project Director will establish and lead the PMO. This project body will also include
the Tyler PMs and directly engage the Executive Project Sponsor and Key Stakeholders. The PMO will
have responsibility for developing the project plan and managing all areas of project execution. Our PM
will organize the project into logical "chunks" or workstreams, and work with the Tyler and City Teams
to establish and manage the Project Scope, Schedule, Resources, and Budget.
Our PMO will also be responsible for establishing a strong governance model that provides the project
standards, tools, processes, policies, and procedures for managing the project. for effective and timely
decision-making. The project governance will also determine the meeting cadences, and the Risk and
Issue Management, and Change Control Procedures.
3. Organizational Change Readiness
The DATA CLIMB Project Director will work with the City to develop an Organizational Change
Readiness Strategy and Plan that provide guidance for aligning City Leadership with the vision and
goals of the project and educates them on the importance of change readiness. The Plan will provide
activities for engaging Key City Stakeholders whose departments are impacted by the Munis
implementation. It will determine methods for ensuring departmental readiness through a Change
Impact Assessment. The PMO Change Readiness effort will also develop the strategy and plan for
training end-users, and for conducting project communications.
4. Risk Monitoring and Mitigation
Our Director will deploy methods for proactively identifying and monitoring risks, so they can be
effectively triaged to determine the root cause. Risks will be captured in weekly status and workstream
meetings, Tyler sessions, Steering Committee meetings, and other interactions between the City and
Tyler Teams. The Director will analyze all risks with the City and develop a mitigation plan that will be
entered in the Project RAID Log for future tracking and reporting.
The Director will review risks weekly and escalate early, when needed, according to the established
project governance model. He will also monitor and mitigate the possibility of"scope creep" by using
the Change Control procedures to review Change Requests and analyze their impacts to the project
scope, timeline, resources, and budget. More details about how we our project management methods
may be found in the Project Execution section of this proposal document.
Work Tasks, Activities, and Deliverables
We have found it a best practice to follow the ERP vendor's methodology for implementing the solution.
Therefore, we will follow the Tyler methodology. We have organized our proposed work tasks,

The City has worked with Tyler to develop a timeline to complete the implementation. We have aligned
the estimated delivery of our proposed work products with this timeline. Illustrated above is our
estimated timeframe for completion of work tasks in conjunction with this timeline. We will work with the
City and Tyler Teams to gain a better understanding this timeline and make revisions, as needed, to the
timing of our delivery as a part of our initial Planning Phase.
Team Members
We propose Clarence J. Clark to assist the City as the Project Director for this implementation. He will
provide project management for each task described in the City RFP.
Project Reviews
The DATA CLIMB Methodology provides for several points of input and review with the City. Our
Project Director will conduct the following reviews to ensure satisfaction with the project and make sure
that it is delivered on time and on budget with the highest possible quality.
Milestone Reviews
We will conduct purposeful Project Milestone Reviews towards the end of each Implementation Phase
wherein we will solicit input from the City Stakeholders on project progress and Tyler performance. This
input will include feedback on the quality and timeliness of project deliverables against the Tyler Service
Level Agreement (SLA). Project progress will be measured against the established KPIs using a Red
Amber Green (RAG) methodology. We will identify any issues and work with the Tyler Project
Managers to develop a Get to Green Plan that will remediate the issues. The timing of the Milestone
Reviews may be viewed in Section B. Approach and Methodology, under the Timeline subsection.
Monthly Budget Reviews
Our Project Manager will also conduct monthly reviews of the project budget. This includes software
and hardware costs, professional fees, and project expenses. We will identify any variances and help
the City determine actions needed to get the project costs back on track.
Steering Committee Reviews
Our PM will help the City form or re-engage an existing Steering Committee as a part of the project
governance. This is a decision-making body that provide guidance and serves as an escalation point
for issues that cannot be resolved at the project level. It typically consists of the Executive Project
Sponsor and members of Senior Leadership who have decision-making authority. We will also help the
City determine the meeting cadence for this body; usually monthly or quarterly.
Project Completion
Completing this project on time, within its scope and budget, with high end-user adoption, and to the
City's satisfaction is our primary objective. We will accomplish this goal by deploying our Project
Management Methodology framework previously identified in this section. These methods were
developed specifically for modern day implementations of Tyler and other ERP vendor software
systems, and they have been refined over the course of several client projects. All of our past Tyler
implementations used our methods and were successfully completed. We have developed significant

expertise from these client experiences, and we have tailored our methods to the requirements listed in
the City RFP.
We understand that this project is a restart of the implementation effort for the City. Therefore, we will
work to leverage past work as much as possible and tailor our methods to meet the City's needs. This
includes modifying or removing existing methods and adding tasks and activities, if needed. The
following describes how we plan to complete the project, including our project management, risk
management, change control and organizational change readiness methods.
Project Management Execution
A comprehensive Project Management Framework is important to the success of every ERP system
project. It provides the day-to-day guidance needed to manage project activities and resources. Our
Project Director will execute the following activities to complete the project.
• Schedule— Project plan and schedule management.
• Scope— Development and management of scope based on the agreed upon project charter.
• Resources— Planning, identifying, tracking, and management of City and Tyler resources.

• Project Communications— Development of a Communications Plan for managing project
messaging and engagement with all Stakeholder groups.
• Project Governance Model — Establish a governance model that provides direction and defines the
decision-making procedures and metrics for validating that the project stays on track. This model
will help the DATA CLIMB Project Director organize the project, establish meeting cadences and
methods and procedures for risk and issue management and change control. The model will also
enable the project team to manage deliverables to the established City requirements and create a
forum for issue resolution to occur in a timely manner. Our Project Governance will facilitate the
Project Management Framework. It will be comprised of the elements below.
• Meeting Cadences —Timing, attendees, and logistics for project meetings: workstream, project
status, risk and issue, Quarterly Steering Committee, etc.
• Risk and Issue Management— Identification, documentation, tracking, reporting, and management
of project risks and issues in the RAID Log.
• Action Items—Tracking and reporting of project actions, priorities, follow up dates and responsible
resources in the RAID Log.
• Decision Management—Organization, presentation, and escalation, where needed, of project
decisions to the City Sponsor and Stakeholders for resolution, and documentation of all key
decisions in the RAID log.
• RAID Log —The database log of all Risks, Actions, Issues and Decisions (RAID), organized by
workstream, priority, date, responsible persons, etc., that is tracked and reported on a weekly basis.

and City Stakeholders near the conclusion of each project milestone in all the key areas of
importance (e.g., solution configuration, data conversion, change readiness, budget, etc.).
Documented results and any recommendations for improved performance.
• Knowledge Management— Establishment of an information sharing platform (e.g., Microsoft
SharePoint, Teams, or similar) to serve as repository of project artifacts, reference documents, and
deliverables, and as a tool for keeping Stakeholders informed and engaged.
• Quality Assurance— Review of vendor deliverables for quality, timeliness and completeness that
aligns with project milestones.
• Executive Steering Committee— Organization of project executives to review project progress and
provide an independent and unbiased view of project progress, then offer input and guidance to the
team; comprised of the Executive Project Sponsor, the DATA CLIMB Project Director, and Key City
Stakeholders; serves as an escalation for critical decisions that are not made through the project
workstreams.
• Design Advisory Board — Board to review and prioritize requested solution design, business
process, and policy/procedural changes; includes the Executive Project Sponsor, Key City
Decision-makers from the agencies and the DATA CLIMB Project Director.
• Deliverable Service Level Agreements (SLA)— Management of adherence to SLAs that govern the
processes, procedures and timelines for deliverable submission, review, and acceptance between
the City and all project vendors.

the project (e.g., Microsoft Office 365, Project, SharePoint, Visio, etc.).
• Project Artifacts Content Management— Maintenance of City sites for storage and retrieval of
project artifacts for reference and training.
Organizational Change Readiness
Our Project Director will partner with City to design and deploy a comprehensive Change Readiness
Program that will assess impacts of the planned solutions, help set and manage expectations, and
assist with preparing the impacted departments and end-user. This program will educate City
Stakeholders on their role in preparing for change and provide the tools they need to advocate and
support the change readiness effort. A Change Network of City Change Agents will be created to help
inform end-users and manage expectations around the project. Our approach will be guided by
industry-proven Best Practices, including effective leadership and coaching activities to help lead City
end users through the four (4) progressive stages of the change experience below.

benefits change
The Change Readiness effort will address the four (4) key areas of importance, Leadership Alignment
and Stakeholder Management, Organizational Transformation, Communications and Engagement, and
Learning and Enablement. The following is a description of each change area.
Change Area Description
Leadership Alignment Development and deployment of a plan to align leadership with the
and Stakeholder project visions and goals, and to engage and manage Stakeholder
Management participation in the project.
Organizational Identification and analysis of changes that will impact the City
Transformation systems, business processes, and organizational structures.
Development and execution of the plan to assist with preparedness for
the transformation that will take place, including reengineering
processes to align with the Munis ERP system.
Communications and Development and management of the plan for communicating with
Engagement and engaging the project team, Stakeholders, and end-users.
Learning and Enablement Development and oversight of the plan for training City UAT Testers
and end users on adoption of the new system and processes
Risk and Issue Management and Escalation
The DATA CLIMB Project Director will maintain a log to document, communicate, and track project
risks, issues, action items, and decisions, called the RAID Log. He will regularly publish information
from the RAID Log in our Weekly Status Reports and collaborate with the Tyler and City teams to
review and prioritize problems and assign responsibilities. Risks will be mitigated by working with City
departments to proactively identify threats to schedule, cost, and quality. The goal will be to mitigate
risks so that they do not evolve into issues. When issues do arise, The Director will facilitate timely
resolution, and when necessary, escalate to the City. Risks will be raised within 24 hours of discovery,

and assessed for potential impact, priority, and probability, to propose mitigation steps. Below are the
steps in the process we typically use; however, we will work with City to tailor this process.
1. Identification - Once identified, risks and issues will be shared with the Workstream Lead and the
PMO, then documented in the RAID Log. The Lead and the PMO will attempt to resolve the issues
and/or develop a mitigation plan.
2. SteerCo Escalation - If the risk or issue cannot be resolved at the workstream level, it will be
escalated to the Steering Committee. Any additional information will be gathered by the Project
Director for presentation to the Steering Committee, where it will be reviewed, and a second attempt
will be made to develop a resolution and/or mitigation plan. We expect resolutions for most issues
and mitigation plans for most risks will be identified by the Steering Committee.
3. Sponsor Escalation - In the event a risk or issue is not resolved within the Steering Committee, it
will be finally escalated to the Executive Project Sponsor, who may take any number of resolution
paths, including consulting with key members of leadership. The Executive Project Sponsor will be
considered the final escalation point. Once the resolution is identified, it will be communicated back
to the PMO for implementation.
Change Control
Our Project Change Control Process is a part of our Project Governance Model that is used to manage
requests for changes to the project scope. These Change Requests may be raised by the DATA CLIMB
Project Director, Tyler PMs, City Stakeholders, Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), etc., for consideration.
Once a Change Request is raised, it is documented and analyzed by our Project Director, analyzed for
its impacts, and reviewed with the City for approval. We will use the 6-step Change Control Process
below to initiate, approve, plan, deploy, evaluate, and sustain project changes.
1. Identify and Triage Change Request
The DATA CLIMB Project Director will identify and triage change requests from the City Team to
determine to determine the impact to project scope, timeline, resources, and budget. Change Requests
that are deemed impactful to the project will be formally documented using the agreed upon Change
Request Form for presentation to the Steering Committee. Change Request Forms will be added to the
Change Request Log.
2. Review by Steering Committee
The Steering Committee plays the key role in the Change Control Process. The Board reviews and
approves project changes based on the information it receives from the DATA CLIMB Project Director,
along with the inputs from its members and the Project Executive Sponsor. Requests that are approved
move to the Planning Stage of the process. Requests may be rejected due to costs, resource
requirements, timeline impacts, or the need for additional information.
3. Planning
During this phase, the DATA CLIMB Project Director works with the project team to develop the
strategy and plan for deploying the change. This includes estimating resource and timeline
requirements, evaluating impacts and developing a plan to mitigate risks.

4. Deployment
When the change is deployed, resources are allocated, the organization and related business
processes are aligned, and the changes are incorporated into the overall Communications Plan for the
project.
5. Review
After deployment, the DATA CLIMB Project Director reviews the change with the City PM, Key
Stakeholders, and the project team to determine its effectiveness. Any adjustments are identified to
gain momentum in adoption of the change and to improve the ease of its maintenance.
6. Sustainment
The final step in the Change Control Process is to maintain the momentum and perform continuous
process improvements to sustain the change over its long-term use.
C. Project Management
The following provides details of how we plan to administer this project.
Project Manager Experience
Our Project Director, Clarence Clark, has over 30 years of past experience managing similar large
scale ERP projects in both the public and private sector industry verticals. This experience includes
managing several Tyler Munis implementations. His previous municipal and public sector clients
include the Village of Orland Park, Illinois, Western Municipal Water District, the State of Illinois, the
City of Dover, Delaware, Cook County Assessor's and Cook County Treasurer's Offices, Illinois, City of
Atlanta, Georgia, and Metropolitan Atlanta Transit Authority. For these engagements, he held
responsibility for managing the schedule, budget, scope, and organizational change management.
Clarence is accustomed to managing diverse project teams and has served as Project Director for
private sector client projects with teams of over 550 members from as many as 36 countries. His
municipal projects also have diverse teams from different departments structures and operational
procedures. In larger municipalities, the Stakeholders are often elected and appointed officials who
often have diverse objectives that sometimes result in competing interests.
Our Project Director breaks down complex projects into logical "chunks" of work called workstreams.
With the help of the client, he assigns lead resources to each workstream who are responsible for
tasks, activities, and deliverables. As the Project Director, he brings these leads together on a regular
cadence to discuss cross functional deliverables and issues and develop solutions.
His approach to communicating with these teams involves developing messaging that is effective,
transparent, consistent, and appropriate for each audience. The goal is always to keep all team
members regularly informed and motivated to work towards the project objectives and to maintain the
project schedule by completing tasks and deliverables on time and with high quality.
This effective method of"dividing and conquering the work effort is one of his keys to managing these
teams and getting them to work towards inter-related deliverables. It works because it leverages the
strengths of each workstream lead and positions them as the SME and "go-to" resource for their area of

Firm Principal Involvement
All of our resources are technologists and DATA CLIMB operates in a partnering model with our clients
to ensure satisfaction with our performance. This means that we involve multiple levels of our
organization. We have three (3) Principals who divide responsibility for managing our firm and its
clients. They will review progress on the City project during their monthly internal Management Meeting.
There, they will also discuss risks and help with the development of mitigation plans, and review DATA
CLIMB fees and expenses to be sure they are on budget. Our Project Director will serve as the primary
point of contact for all DATA CLIMB matters. However, if needed, our principals are prepared to serve
as occasional Subject Matter Experts in their respective areas of expertise, such as Data Migration,
Solution Architecture, and other areas of need. They may attend a project meeting or work directly with
a City Stakeholder to resolve an issue. They are also prepared to occasionally attend the City Project
Steering Committee meetings to lend expertise. Our firm will partner with the City to make sure that the
project is a success.
