AGENDA REPORT

CONSENT CALENDAR

CITY MANAGER APPROVAL:

DATE: September 10, 2019

SUBJECT: AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR ENTERPRISE RESOURCE

PLANNING (ERP) SYSTEM

DEPARTMENT: Administrative Services

PRESENTER: Benny Ives

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council:

1. Award a ten-year contract to Superion, LLC, for the replacement of the City of Santa

Clarita’s enterprise resource planning system, for a total amount not to exceed $5,242,062.

This amount includes one-time implementation costs of $1,520,390 plus a 15 percent

contingency in the amount of $228,058, and $3,493,614 for ten years of annual support and

maintenance.

2. Appropriate funding in the amount of $2,224,240 from the Technology Replacement Fund

(720) to Info Resources/Computer Replacement Expenditure Account 12203-5161.001 for

one-time implementation costs, contingency, and support and maintenance during

implementation. Appropriate $11,388 to personnel account 12203-5001.001, $223,973 to

12203-5002.001, and $39,966 to 12203-5003.001 for staffing costs during implementation.

3. Authorize an ongoing annual appropriation from the General Fund (100) to Technology

Services Expenditure Account 12200-5161.001 for annual support and maintenance costs

beginning in Fiscal Year 2021-22 in the amount of $333,714, and authorize a three percent

annual increase to the base budget through Fiscal Year 2028-29, contingent upon the

appropriation of funds in the annual budget for such fiscal years.

4. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all contracts and associated documents,

subject to City Attorney approval.

BACKGROUND

The City of Santa Clarita (City) utilizes an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, which is

5

Packet Pg. 31

Page 2

an application comprising a collection of software modules that work together to streamline

some of the most important functions of any organization, including Finance, Human Resources,

Purchasing, and Payroll. The existing system, known as eFinancePlus, was implemented in 2006

and was an upgrade to an earlier version of the same software family.

In the last thirteen years, the software has become outdated with minimal enhancements, which

has led to shortcomings and inefficiencies in its ability to meet the City's needs as it relates to

accounting practices, mandated state/federal regulations, integrations with newer City

applications, and internal controls.

As with any significant computer system, the City’s Technology Services division maintains a

schedule that forecasts and plans for the upgrade or replacement of such systems, commonly

predicated on several criteria, including diminishing performance, usefulness, scalability, vendor

support, technical expertise, research and development, change in business processes, security,

reliability, maintenance, staff expectations, and new alternatives. The current system has been

falling short in nearly all of these categories, especially when compared with modern ERP

systems in the marketplace today.

In 2016, City staff began documenting the current system’s inefficiencies as well as researching

possible replacement systems. Staff attended conferences and conversed with auditing firms and

other municipalities to learn more about features and capabilities of modern ERP systems to

streamline operations, offer greater flexibility to address changing municipal regulations, and

internal control policies, as well as integrations to other City applications, such as Laserfiche and

NeoGov, the City’s Electronic Document Management and Applicant Tracking systems,

respectively.

Due to the complexities and intricate design of ERP systems, in June 2018, City Council

approved City staff's recommendation to hire industry experts, SoftResources, to assist in the

selection of an up-to-date ERP system by performing these key functions: conducting a needs

assessment, requirements analysis, Request for Proposal (RFP) development and management,

vendor analysis, software demo/proof of concept, final decision, and contract review.

SoftResources’ initial work led to a Needs Assessment report that recommended the City look to

upgrade or replace its eFinancePlus with a new ERP that would improve the City’s business

processes, adopt regulatory best practices, reduce paper-based and manual processes, minimize

dependency on shadow systems, eliminate workflow inefficiencies, and provide system

integration opportunities with other core business applications, such as the City’s permitting

system.

In October 2018, City staff, together with SoftResources, released an RFP for a new ERP. The

RFP solicitation was noticed to 598 entities, was downloaded 47 times, and ultimately resulted in

5 responses. An initial review of the five written proposals yielded the ratings below based on

several criteria including the City’s functional and technical requirements, experience and

expertise of the vendor, total cost of the solution, and the quality of the proposed work plan.

The top three vendors were selected to provide two full days of on-site demonstrations. City

staff, comprising key staff from Finance, Human Resources, Purchasing, and Technology

Services divisions attended the demonstrations. Upon completion of the demonstrations,

Superion, LLC (Superion) emerged as the clear leader based on software demonstration scoring,

ease of use, pricing, technology specifications, and implementation methodology. A summary of

the ratings is shown here:

Sierra-Cedar Oracle Fusion Alpharetta, GA $6,532,509.38 51

In addition to best addressing the current system’s deficiencies, and offering the improvements

stated above, here are just some of Superion’s solution abilities:

Automate key business processes via workflows

Maintain transactional cash receipts detail

Maintain inactive or one-time vendors

Limit system’s ability to process specific transactions

Ability to produce a strong point-of-sale audit trail

Multiple enhancements to time card entry and approval processes

Maintain a real-time connection between time card and payroll systems

Ability to restrict user security roles on a granular level

Integrate with the City’s Electronic Document Management System

Capture transaction-level detail from the City’s permitting system

As part of their due diligence, City staff conducted reference checks of four California

municipalities using Superion’s solution to get their assessment of the company's software,

performance, and customer service. All reference checks were complimentary and did not

uncover any major areas of concern. City staff, together with SoftResources, then entered into

the negotiation phase with Superion to verify all major system components were included, agree

to contract terms, as well as a best and final price that reduced the total cost of Superion’s

proposal to $5,014,004.

City Staff recommends that City Council award this contract to Superion because their solution

best meets the needs of a new ERP as evidenced by the analysis, due diligence, features,

capabilities, implementation methodology, and vendor demonstrations conducted through the

5

course of this procurement process.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION

1. Do not approve contract with Superion.

2. Other action as determined by the City Council.

Adequate funds will be available upon approval of the requested appropriations.

CITY MANAGER APPROVAL:

DATE: September 10, 2019

SUBJECT: AWARD OF CONTRACT TO AMERON POLE PRODUCTS FOR

THE PURCHASE OF ADVANCED REPLACEMENT STREETLIGHT

POLES

DEPARTMENT: Neighborhood Services

PRESENTER: Kevin Tonoian

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council:

1. Award a three-year contract for replacement streetlight poles to Ameron Pole Products for an

annual amount of $250,000, for a total contract amount not to exceed $750,000.

2. Appropriate $250,000 to expenditure account 12593-5161.022 for the advanced purchase of

replacement streetlight poles, from Landscape Lighting District Streetlight Maintenance

Fund 359, to expedite future streetlight knockdowns.

3. Authorize an ongoing base budget appropriation of $250,000 to expenditure account 12593-

5161.022, from Landscape Lighting District Streetlight Maintenance Fund 359, for the

ongoing costs associated with the advanced purchase of replacement poles.

4. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all contracts and associated documents,

subject to City Attorney approval.

BACKGROUND

On May 10, 2018, the California Public Utilities Commission approved the City of Santa

Clarita’s (City) purchase of the streetlight system from Southern California Edison (Edison).

Staff anticipates that the ongoing acquisition and conversion of the streetlight system to Light

Emitting Diode (LED) fixtures will generate operational savings in excess of $30 million during

the first 30 years of ownership.

6

Packet Pg. 35

Page 2

In addition to transferring ownership of the system, the City is now also responsible for ongoing

maintenance, including streetlight knockdowns resulting from vehicle collisions. While the

City’s knockdown experience during the first six-months of ownership has been limited, with a

system encompassing more than 16,500 streetlights, staff forecasts replacing 50 to 100 pole

knockdowns each year.

To limit financial exposure, the City’s insurance carrier provides coverage for the streetlight

system. While the City incurs a $1,000 deductible per knockdown occurrence, our insurance

carrier will be responsible for reimbursing all remaining expenditures, including the cost of the

replacement pole as well as the associated labor. Additionally, our insurance carrier will cover

costs associated with the initial emergency response to make the location safe and subsequent

services to clear damaged poles.

Ameron Pole Products (Ameron), located in Fillmore, California, is the number one

manufacturer of concrete streetlight poles in the United States. Ameron provides streetlight poles

throughout the country, and is the standardized pole used within the entire Edison service area

including Santa Clarita. Pursuant to Section 3.12.270 (B) of the City’s Municipal Code

(Exceptions to Competitive Bidding Requirements), staff recommends dispensing with bidding

procedures as the specific concrete streetlight pole utilized in Santa Clarita may only be obtained

from Ameron.

While the local sales representative for Ameron, Del Sol Resources, will facilitate this sale, the

City will direct all payments to Ameron. The timeline to fabricate and deliver replacement poles

to address individual knockdowns requires six to eight weeks of lead-time from placing the

order. To expedite the replacement of streetlights damaged by vehicle collisions, staff is

recommending the award of a three-year, single-source contract to Ameron in the annual amount

of $250,000 for the advanced purchase of replacement poles. This action will provide the City

with adequate inventory to access as necessary and facilitate pole knockdown replacements

within approximately two weeks, as opposed to eight to ten weeks when ordering replacements

as each knockdown occurs.

Staff recommends placing an initial order for 50 replacement poles. The cost associated with

securing these poles is $114,680, inclusive of transportation and delivery. Upon fabrication, the

City’s Transit Maintenance Facility will serve as the storage location for replacement poles.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION

Other actions as determined by the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT

There is no impact to the General Fund. This action requires an appropriation from the

Streetlight Maintenance District (Fund 359) of $250,000 for Fiscal Year 2019-20, and is

contingent upon Council appropriation of funds as part of the annual budget in future years. The

Streetlight Maintenance operation budget will be responsible for funding all advanced costs for

each streetlight knockdown. The City’s insurance carrier will reimburse all expenses for each

knockdown, with the exception of a $1,000 deductible per occurrence.

BACKGROUND

At the June 11, 2019, City Council meeting, the City Council directed that an agenda item be

There have been instances where members of the public have approached the City Council

seeking to name a City facility after an individual. Historically, the City has recognized

individuals in one of three ways: through the creation of plazas, the placement of memorials, or

by naming a City facility or amenity.

Other action as determined by the City Council.

None by this action.
