Dear Leisha Meine:
On behalf of Berry Dunn McNeil & Parker, LLC (BerryDunn), we are pleased to submit this letter to the
City of Denton (the City) to describe how BerryDunn can support the City’s ongoing software
modernization efforts by providing implementation project management services for the selected system
as well as the systems listed below:
Land Management
Computer-Aided Dispatch/Records Management System (CAD/RMS)
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) Consolidation
Additionally, we are including a description of our system selection services for the CAD/RMS project.
On the following pages, we outline a proposal to provide the requested services. The City will find details
regarding our approach to system selection and implementation project management and estimated
hours and fees for the implementation of each system. We look forward to collaborating with the City to
customize, refine, and finalize our approach.
BerryDunn is an established vendor on the Interlocal Purchasing System (TIPS) Technology Solutions,
Products, and Services Contract #230105. We respectfully request that the City create separate
Purchase Orders for each of the projects referenced in this proposal.
CAD/RMS System Selection
Proposed Approach
BerryDunn has worked with City stakeholders to assess its current public safety technology environment
and develop requirements for a forthcoming CAD/RMS RFP. Below and on the following pages, we
outline our approach to continuing this initiative with the end-goal of selecting a solution best fit for the
City’s needs.
Phase 1 – Project Planning
1.1 Conduct initial project planning web conference with City’s project manager. We will host an
initial project planning web conference with the City’s project manager as well as appropriate support
staff to confirm project goals, objectives, and expectations. During this meeting, we will confirm the
effectiveness of previously established communication methods between BerryDunn and City staff,
such as ongoing telephone, teleconference, and email check-ins and status reports.
1.2 Develop a Project Work Plan and Schedule. We will then develop a draft Project Work Plan and
Schedule and facilitate a work session (via web conference) to review the work plan draft and schedule
with the City project team before updating to final.

Phase 1 – Project Planning
\ Deliverable 1: Project Work Plan and Schedule
1.3 Develop a draft Project Charter. BerryDunn will develop a draft Project Charter that
encompasses the scope of the CAD/RMS system selection and implementation project. In
collaboration with the City, we will establish a governance model and identify the project team structure
along with the roles and responsibilities of each key project participant. The Project Charter will also
outline the stakeholder register, communication plan, and change management plan.
\ Deliverable 2: Draft Project Charter
1.4 Finalize the Project Charter. We will provide the Project Charter in draft version to the City and
facilitate a remote session with the City’s project team to discuss the documents and collect feedback.
We will then update the documents and submit them to the City in final form.
\ Deliverable 3: Project Charter
Phase 2 – Comprehensive Plan of Action
2.1 Invite participants to visioning exercises. BerryDunn will conduct a series of visioning exercises
with stakeholder groups with the goal of determining the gap between the current state (as defined in
Phase 1) and the City’s vision of the future state. We will draft communications and corresponding
messaging to invite and inform stakeholders gathered previously during Phase 1.
2.2 Conduct on-site visioning exercises. The BerryDunn team will spend a day with various City
stakeholders to conduct visioning exercises for the purpose of helping define a viable concept of the
future business and associated technology. Typically, in these sessions, we ask questions such as:
Where will your organization be in three years? Five years? What inefficiencies and bottlenecks can be
corrected and with what possible ideas? What high-level changes do you foresee to business processes
that will impact functional or technical requirements for the future environment?
In these visioning exercises, the BerryDunn team will create an environment that allows participants to
explore and discuss ideas in a fair, respectful, and balanced manner. Our methodology also emphasizes
shared vision and consensus-based strategies that help remove the blockages to implementation and
provide what is needed to instill ownership, commitment, and accountability for action toward the vision.
2.3 Conduct legacy data and data conversion planning. Data conversion is a critical and complex
component of any systems modernization project—especially in regard to Criminal Justice Information
Services (CJIS) data and other information bound by statute and regulations. BerryDunn will gather
technical stakeholders to begin this discussion well in advance of the RFP development to accurately
capture the City’s legacy data requirements for future vendors to realistically quote for data conversion
efforts. We will also discuss data quality and the expected cost to then determine how much data the
City would like to convert. We will include this information as a subsection of Deliverable 4:
Comprehensive Plan of Action Report.
2.4 Review of required and desired interfaces. From the information gathered during the initial
stakeholder interviews, as well as preliminary interface information provided in the RFP, BerryDunn will
develop a System Interface and Integration component of the Comprehensive Plan of Action Report. If
needed, BerryDunn will meet with technical and business stakeholders to identify the existing interfaces,
interfaces not currently available that are needed in the future environment, and those that the City has

Phase 2 – Comprehensive Plan of Action
and will not need. We will list all existing and future interfaces and define the agencies, data flow
direction, frequency, security requirements, and current/future integration strategies.
2.5 Conduct market research. In our experience, stakeholders who have been using a legacy system
for more than 20+ years may not have an understanding of the technology and functionality currently
available in the marketplace. As such, BerryDunn has found it meaningful to conduct market research
and leverage our prior experience to identify vendors that may be most relevant to the City’s current
environment.
Accordingly, BerryDunn will invite three to five vendors to conduct a demonstration of their latest public
safety CAD/RMS solution technologies. The purpose of this exercise is for City stakeholders to gain a
deeper understanding of what functionality is currently lacking in their environment, and which features
may be most helpful in the future. In past CAD/RMS projects, BerryDunn has found that vendor
technology demonstrations (generally two to three hours long) help stakeholders define and prioritize
Functional and Technical Requirements. The purpose of this exercise is for City stakeholders to gain a
deeper understanding of what functionality is currently lacking in their environment, and which features
may be most helpful in the future.
2.6 Develop technology demonstration scripts. BerryDunn will develop a format for the vendor
demonstrations that will be most helpful to City stakeholders. These demonstrations will be at a high-
level (as opposed to later in Phase 3 when BerryDunn will create demonstration scripts based on the
City’s requirement set). After finalizing with the City, BerryDunn will provide the appropriate scripts to
each vendor in advance of their on-site demonstrations.
2.7 Facilitate technology demonstrations. BerryDunn will spend one day facilitating vendor
demonstrations for City stakeholders to better understand the CAD/RMS marketplace. We anticipate 3-4
vendors presenting for a maximum of two hours each. These demonstrations will help to inform
requirements development in Phase 3.
2.8 Develop Comprehensive Plan of Action Report. BerryDunn will synthesize the information
gathered thus far, including implementation options and timeline, data conversion details, interface
requirements, and total estimated cost (including the purchase of, installation, and software/hardware
costs).
\ Deliverable 4: Comprehensive Plan of Action Report
2.9 Present findings from the Comprehensive Plan of Action Report. BerryDunn will virtually
present our findings to City stakeholders and relevant stakeholders and answer questions and offer
clarification, where needed.
\ Deliverable 5: Comprehensive Plan Presentation
Phase 3 – RFP Preparation and Demonstration Scripts
3.1 Develop RFP Scope of Work. BerryDunn will begin the RFP planning and development process
beginning in Phase 2. Working concurrently to other RFP development tasks, BerryDunn will meet with
the City’s procurement team. We will review and discuss the City’s existing RFP process, development
of the CAD/RMS RFP, the associated addenda, and any required forms for submission.
3.2 Facilitate joint requirements planning (JRP) work sessions. We will facilitate a series of JRP
work sessions with the City’s stakeholders and our project team members to review the preliminary
DocuSign Envelope ID: ECF98EF8-09E3-40B4-BBDD-A6F4D7013242
Leisha Meine

Phase 2 – Comprehensive Plan of Action
requirements. We will reconvene many of the same stakeholders that met during fact-finding activities to
discuss the future system capabilities. These sessions will also include one focused on the technical
aspects involved with the City’s project. Using the preliminary list, we will review and confirm each item
and assign a relative criticality to communicate to vendors responding to the list as part of their RFP
responses. We will also facilitate similar meetings to review potential interfaces and data conversion
objects. Once these have been reviewed, we will update the list to final.
Our role in facilitating the JRP work sessions is to contribute our focused knowledge of the vendor
marketplace and align the items requested in the list with the goals and objectives of the project. For
example, we might comment that functionality being requested is beyond the core capabilities of
vendors and might represent a cost increase. Conversely, we can help recommend requirements to
include that might be commonplace today, but beyond the familiarity of City stakeholders. We anticipate
these work sessions taking place over three days on-site with up to four of our project team members
involved.
\ Deliverable 6: Final Functional and Technical Requirements
3.3 Develop an RFP Package. BerryDunn will concurrently develop an RFP Package using a proven
format that incorporates information pertaining to the history of the project, a high-level description of the
City’s current environment, desired approach to implementing a new CAD/RMS solution, Final
Functional and Technical Requirements, and a structured list of points for vendors to address in their
responses. Our project team will also work with the City to develop objective evaluation criteria to
include in the RFP. We will then prepare a scoring matrix to track significant strengths and limitations of
each proposal reviewed.
Upon completion, we will coordinate a work session with the City’s project team to review the draft RFP
Package and collect any feedback or additional terms for inclusion before updating to final. We will
provide the final RFP to the City’s project team for distribution through standard channels. For added
guidance in distribution, we will provide a list that includes most of the major CAD/RMS solution vendors
in the market.
\ Deliverable 7: RFP Package
3.4 Assist with facilitating a vendor pre-proposal conference. Our project team will coordinate, plan,
and lead a pre-proposal teleconference for interested vendors, facilitating the question-and-answer
portion of the meeting. We will compile a list of questions raised and prepare suggested responses.
These will be provided in a format that the City’s project team can review, revise, and publish as an
addendum to the RFP, as determined by procurement staff.
3.5 Perform an initial completion review of vendor proposals received, identify items for
clarification, and develop a Proposal Executive Summary Memo. We will facilitate the proposal
review process to identify issues, risks, exceptions, omissions, and objections, compiling them into a
single Proposal Executive Summary Memo. The memo will identify key areas for consideration by the
City’s evaluation team related to each vendor’s ability to meet minimum requirements, and their
alignment with the evaluation criteria within the RFP. This memo will also include a comparison of
vendor responses to the Final Functional and Technical Requirements.
3.6 Facilitate a Round 1 scoring meeting. We will meet with the evaluation team to review the
proposal summaries, discuss each proposal received, assist in the scoring process, and collect scores
to identify the top two preferred vendors to invite for demonstrations. We will clarify any open items with
these short-list vendors before issuing invitations for demonstrations.

Phase 2 – Comprehensive Plan of Action
\ Deliverable 8: Proposal Summary Memo and Short-List Identification
3.7 Assist with planning for demonstrations and writing Demonstration Scripts. We will meet with
the City’s project team to discuss the format of vendor Demonstration Scripts based on the requirements
developed. We will develop a draft Demonstration Script template that asks vendors to highlight
functionality unique to the City’s environment. Once the City approves the finalized version, we will
provide the appropriate scripts to each vendor in advance of their demonstrations.
\ Deliverable 9: Demonstration Scripts
3.8 Facilitate on-site vendor demonstrations. One BerryDunn team members will attend
demonstrations and assist the City’s project team with facilitation for a period of five days. Our project
team’s extensive background in the demonstration process will provide the City’s project team with a
unique perspective on how to score, prepare, evaluate, and participate in vendor demonstrations.
3.9 Facilitate a Round 2 scoring meeting. We will participate in the second round of vendor scoring
following the final demonstration to identify the vendor or vendors that the City’s project team should
perform its reference checks on.
3.10 Assist with planning for reference checks and site visits. We will assist the City’s project team
with identifying tasks that should be accomplished prior to meeting at each site visit. We will also
coordinate with the City’s project team to discuss the suggested approach for the reference checks.
3.11 Facilitate a final scoring meeting. We will participate in the final scoring meeting following the
completion of reference checks and site visits. The objective will be to identify a preferred vendor and a
second-choice vendor should contract negotiations with the first be unsuccessful.
\ Deliverable 10: Preferred Vendor Identification
Phase 4 - Contract Negotiation Assistance
4.1 Support the City in the contract negotiations process. Once a preferred vendor is selected, our
project team will support the City in the contract negotiations process. We have been involved in
contract negotiations from the client, vendor, and independent consultant perspectives, and understand
how the contract impacts the implementation process. In conducting contract negotiations, we will draw
on these experiences to help ensure the City’s best interests are being met.
We will also work with the City’s project team and legal counsel, as well as the preferred vendor, to
develop a draft contract, using the City’s contracting procedures and the vendor’s proposal as starting
points. We will review the contract documents with the City’s project team to help ensure that
requirements are clearly defined and to establish that the City agrees to the schedule, implementation
process, fee arrangement, scope of services, vendor resources, deliverables, costs, acceptance criteria,
and terms and conditions. We will also be present during negotiations with the preferred vendor. Should
it become clear at any point during negotiations that the preferred vendor’s solution or contract terms will
not meet the needs of the City, we might recommend halting negotiations with that vendor and
commencing negotiations with the alternate vendor.

Implementation Project Management Approach
We are pleased to propose implementation project management services for the following systems: land
management, ERP, CAD/RMS, and EAM.
BerryDunn strives to be flexible when it comes to development and execution of an effective work plan.
We understand that no two projects are exactly alike and believe that one of the primary reasons we
have been successful with similar projects is our willingness to be flexible in adapting to our
clients’ unique needs.
The overarching benefits the City can expect of our approach include:
A methodology based on our extensive experience conducting similar projects
A focus on supporting the City’s implementation at the desired level of involvement with
significant resource commitments from our team, as appropriate
Quality assurance processes that incorporate the City’s review and approval of all deliverables
and key milestones
Built-in project management and change management best practices—focused on keeping the
project on time, on budget, and progressing at a healthy pace
Thorough business process improvement activities
A focus on taking full advantage of the newest technology and harnessing efficiencies by
reviewing business practices or implementing technology to enhance existing business processes
performed by individual departments and those performed across the City
Below and on the following pages, we detail our proposed approach to providing implementation project
management services for each of the City’s software implementations.
Implementation Project Management
We recognize that the City desires a team of qualified professionals with proven experience in
governmental system implementation projects. Our team’s extensive experience serving in this role will
provide the City the perfect complement in conducting this effort. In the implementation project
manager role, we will identify project risks and issues, monitor project activities, provide
recommendations to mitigate risks, and lead the coordination of vendor activities. This level of service
assumes the City will provide a project management team that we will oversee. Should the City hire
additional staff in its IT department to help manage this project, BerryDunn is happy to adjust our
approach and level of effort to meet the City’s needs.
1.1 Develop Project Charter. Based on our initial project planning discussions, we will draft a Project
Charter that encompasses the full scope of the City’s implementation. This governance document will
include a change management plan, stakeholder register, communication plan, risk and issues
register, and status report templates. We will provide the Project Charter in draft version to the City and
facilitate a remote session with the City’s project team to discuss the documents and collect feedback.
We will then update the documents and submit them to the City in final form.
\ Deliverable 1: Project Charter
1.2 Review vendor implementation plans. We will provide an in-depth review of the vendor
implementation plan(s), including the management plan and project plan. We will discuss our
recommended changes and considerations with the City’s project team before communicating

Implementation Project Management
requested changes to the vendor. The goal is to collaboratively discuss preferred changes based upon
the City, vendor, and BerryDunn’s collective experience and perspective for the most advantageous
end products.
\ Deliverable 2: Project Plan Review
1.3 Develop Project Management Documents. Following the review of the vendor plans, we will
develop any necessary supplemental materials we believe to be critical to the City’s implementation.
These may include further definition of stakeholders, risk management, project documentation, and
other items. The particular content areas will be determined by what is included in the vendor plans,
with the goal of removing any redundancy that might cause confusion to project stakeholders. This
documentation will be reviewed and confirmed with the City’s project team before being put into use.
\ Deliverable 3: Project Management Documents
1.4 Conduct implementation activities. One of the keys to project success is enabling the City’s
teams to take on appropriate roles and responsibilities and to make informed decisions for both
implementation and long-term operational success and ownership of the software. Our project
management approach is designed with this in mind. We will provide specialized expertise throughout
the project.
Throughout the implementation, we will bring our prior implementation and local government
experience to provide a forward-looking perspective, reduce risk, and promote the achievement of the
goals and objectives for the project. We anticipate being involved in the following key project
management activities of the implementation, as shown in Table 1.

(DocuSign) Express user account. Please read the information below carefully and thoroughly,
and if you can access this information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to these terms
and conditions, please confirm your agreement by clicking the 'I agree' button at the bottom of

Getting paper copies
At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available
electronically to you by us. For such copies, as long as you are an authorized user of the
DocuSign system you will have the ability to download and print any documents we send to you
through your DocuSign user account for a limited period of time (usually 30 days) after such
documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to send you paper copies of
any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a $0.00 per-page fee. You may
request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the procedure described below.
Withdrawing your consent

change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures
only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and
disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures
electronically is described below.
Consequences of changing your mind
If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the
speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to
you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format,
and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such
paper notices or disclosures. To indicate to us that you are changing your mind, you must
withdraw your consent using the DocuSign 'Withdraw Consent' form on the signing page of your
DocuSign account. This will indicate to us that you have withdrawn your consent to receive
required notices and disclosures electronically from us and you will no longer be able to use your
DocuSign Express user account to receive required notices and consents electronically from us
or to sign electronically documents from us.
All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically

electronically to you through your DocuSign user account all required notices, disclosures,
authorizations, acknowledgements, and other documents that are required to be provided or
made available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the chance of
you inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required
notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given
us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through
the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with this process, please let us know as
described below. Please also see the paragraph immediately above that describes the
consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the notices and disclosures
