Scope of Work
Questica Budget Implementation for
City of San Luis Obispo
1. Revision History
Edition Date Authors Notes/Changes
2. Scope of Work
In the Scope of Work tables, entries in the column headed "Scope of Work" are defined as follows:
Entry Meaning
In scope The task or function is within the scope of work to be undertaken by Questica professional
services.
Customer task The task or function is not within the scope of work to be undertaken by Questica
professional services, but will be undertaken by The Customer, with such help from
Questica as is detailed in the item description.
Not in scope The task or function is not within the scope of work to be undertaken by Questica
professional services, nor will it be undertaken by The Customer.
n/a Some functions such as reporting using the standard Questica Budget report library are
available to, and utilized by, The Customer but their use is ancillary to the implementation
of Questica Budget and not a required component of implementation.
Questica and The Customer agree that the implementation of Questica Budget is a shared responsibility
and that neither party is in total command of all the resources necessary to achieve objectives within
mutually agreed timeframes. However, both Questica and The Customer agree that they will employ their
best efforts to complete their agreed tasks on a timely basis. Neither Questica nor The Customer is
expected to have resources available to mitigate timeframe slippage caused by the other party, and neither
shall have an obligation to do so. Delays on the part of The Customer, including putting the project on
temporary hold or switching out project team members, may result in a project Change Order to cover
restart, rework, rescheduling and retraining.
"Integration" as used in this Scope of Work shall include the data population in pre-existing costing centers
for the operating module and projects for the capital module. Data elements identified by a full GL account
in the general ledger will be imported as a Questica Budget GL object if that element can be unambiguously
matched to a pre-existing GL object or to a pre-existing costing center / project + fund combination. An
exception report is provided for data elements which cannot be thus matched. Similarly, integrations will
not create accounts in the general ledger where no such accounts exist. General ledger integrations do not
include the integration of post approval budget amendments and transfers other than in the form of
unannotated changed budget amounts. In the case of project budgets and actual data, this Scope of Work
covers only those situations where the project identifier forms part of the GL account string or is available
in the import file, query or web service. The customer agrees to provide Questica with assistance in
understanding the nature and location of the data to be integrated and, where required, create or cause to
be created all necessary sources of data including database queries, delimited files, and/or web services.

Questica will supply The Customer with blank workbook templates which must be
completed according to the defined format and structure.
Questica will import the operating data up to two times, subject to the supplied
data being clean and free of inconsistencies. At a minimum, the files will contain
the data necessary to:
• Create costing centers
• Add costing centers to departments
• Define funds and associate costing centers with funds
• Create GL objects and associate them with object categories
• Associate dollar amounts with GL objects at the costing center level.

For the purpose of the above, the definitions of costing centers, divisions, departments, GL objects, object
categories and funds shall be those found in the Questica Budget Operating manual. The mathematical
relationships between them shall be those currently supported by Questica Budget and described in the
Questica Budget Operating Manual.
The import of chart of account segments ("chart fields") other than those that relate to division,
department, fund, cost center and GL object is not within scope unless expressly referenced in the
"Customizations" section of this Scope of Work.
The object/object category, division/department/costing center and fund category/fund structures must be
consistent across all years and across the Operating module and Capital module if both are used. The
Customer will resolve any inconsistencies in the structures implicit in the actual and budget import data
prior to providing them to Questica for import to Questica Budget.
If import data is supplied in the Excel import templates provided by Questica and the data is consistent
with the data integrity requirements of Questica Budget, Questica will populate the Questica Budget
database within 15 business days of receiving the import workbooks. The inclusion of custom chart of
account segments (chart field items) or data that violates Questica Budget's data integrity rules will extend
this timeframe, unless otherwise detailed in the "Customization" section below.

FROM: Xenia Bradford, Budget Manager
PREPARED BY: Xenia Bradford, Budget Manager
SUBJECT: Budget Software Contract Award
RECOMMENDATION
1. Execute Contract with Questica Inc. for to purchase and configure the Budget Software and early
user fees for software as a service -- not to exceed $89,000 for 2016-17 fiscal year.
DISCUSSION
Currently, the City utilizes Microsoft Office (Excel and Word) for both production and publication
of its budgets. There are budget development software applications available that could greatly
improve efficiency, accuracy, and financial analysis.
The budget for Budget Software was approved with the 2016-17 Supplemental Budget as part of
the Organizational Effectiveness and Efficiency Initiative in the amount of $89,000 for the fiscal
year.
Staff had developed a detailed list of business and technical requirements for the software. Based
on these requirements in response to the RFP, staff received three responses. Staff has carefully
examined the responses and.interviewed vendors for clarifications on as needed basis.
The proposals were evaluated based on specific technical requirements and cost. Staff review led
to this recommendation to select Questica Inc. for implementation of budget software. Questica
Inc. software satisfies all requirements sought and is within budget. This software is very flexible
and will accommodate the budget organization structure desired by the City. The product is
consistently grown and continues to be developed by Questica Inc. Staff proposes purchase of
two modules as part of this project: operating budget and salaries. These two modules, when
implemented, are anticipated to allow for one -point data entry minimizing errors, standardize and
streamline budget submission process and citywide related communication, provide with
efficiencies and accuracy for salary and benefits forecasting, provide with analytical and
forecasting tools, graphical displays and automate reports for budget analysis and control as well
as for preparation of the formal budget documents.
CMR -Budget Software Purchase Page 2
Questica Inc. offers additional modules, at additional, cost that the City could select to
implement if desired such as Capital Improvement Program Module, Strategic Planning, and
Performance Measures among others. Questica Inc. products are stand alone and can be
integrated with other financial software packages.
The implementation of the software is estimated to take approximately 4 moths. Staff does not
recommend live connection with Finance Plus at this time, given the complexity and non-
standard set-up of chart of accounts in Finance Plus. Staff recommends upload of Actuals data
using Questica templates on periodic basis. If the City elects to integrate Questica Inc. budget
software with a Financial System in the future, the software allows for complete drill down form
high level citywide reports to individual transaction.
FISCAL IMPACT
The contract award will not exceed the budgeted amount of $89,000 for this purpose in fiscal
year 2016-17. This budget is currently budgeted in the Information Technology Fund. The
proposed agreement with Questica Inc. is attached for $79,500. Hourly expenditures may occur
for any desired customizations of reports performed by the vendor. The software includes a
report writer and these expenditures may or may not be necessary depending on complexity of
customization.
ALTERNATIVE
If the City does not proceed with this Council approved significant operating program change
(SOPC), the City will continue to allocate significant amount of staff work hours to production
and analysis of financial materials for budget and financial planning. Accuracy will continue to
be difficult to maintain due to multiple data entry points. Furthermore, due to lack of automated -
- real-time data -- financial statements, currently financial analysis cannot be performed timely
and results in less than most optimal allocation of city financial resources.
