Statement of Issue,Funding Source,Recommended Action,Alternative Action(s),Analysis,Environmental Status,Attachment(s)
Statement of Issue:
Should the City replace its current Business System hardware and software by acquiring
integrated Enterprise Resource Planning software developed by J.D. Edwards World
Solutions and implemented by Deloitte and Touche, LLP?
Funding Source:
The City Council has previously appropriated $2,250,000 in General Fund revenue,
$1,517,162 in carry-forward capital projects revenue, and $1,000,000 from the Water Fund
toward the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software and Optical Imaging projects.
However, since this appropriation, additional ERP project details and costs for the 3-Phase
project have been identified through extensive scoping and requirements meetings with J.D.
Edwards, Deloitte & Touche, and Avnet Computer identifying the total project cost to be
$7,015,531. As a result, Phase I will require an additional appropriation of $870,238.
Proposed additional funding sources for Phase I include: $511,623 in Equipment
Replacement fund bankruptcy recovery revenue, $272,277 in unexpended FY 1998/99
Equipment Replacement Revenue, and $86,338 in Capital Projects fund bankruptcy recovery
revenue. A Fiscal Impact Statement for this appropriation is included in Attachment 1.
A subsequent supplemental Phase II appropriation request of $1,378,131 will be included in
the FY-2000/2001 unfunded projects list. Phase III costs for a FY 2001/2002 Utility Billing
software implementation is sufficiently funded in the Water Fund budget and no additional
appropriation is required.
REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTIA
MEETING DATE: October 18, 1999 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: FD 99-010
Recommended Actions:
1. MOTION TO: Appropriate $870,238 to the ERP Business System software
implementation from the following funds: $511,623 in Equipment Replacement fund

Replacement fund revenue, and $86,338 in Capital Projects fund bankruptcy recovery
revenue.
2. MOTION TO APPROVE AND AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR AND CITY CLERK TO
EXECUTE:
A.) A contract with J.D. Edwards World Solutions for Software Services and

3. MOTION TO: Amend the FY 1999/2000 budget by adding one Department Analyst
Senior position to the Fire Department and one Administrative Secretary position to the
Administrative Services Department fund d within the ERP project budget.
/ l"e/,?� -D 6ru//ems--A:55=1
4. '1 OTION TO: Authorize the Fire Chief and Administrative Services Director to enter into,
on behalf of the City, all supplemental agreements or documents with J.D. Edwards;
Deloitte & Touche, LLP; Avnet Computers; Vertex Inc.; and Infosys Business Solutions,
LLC, necessary to implement the services and/or arrangements with these companies
and enter into any amendments to the agreements with these companies, which do not
xceed $50,000 and fall within the total project budget.
Alternative Action(s):
1. Take no action and continue using existing software and mainframe computer
hardware.
This alternative does not require an immediate expenditure. However, since the
manufacturer no longer supports the mainframe computer hardware, system failure
ERP Business System Purchase B -2- 10112/99 5:08 PM
REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTIaiV
MEETING DATE: October 18, 1999 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: FD 99-010
becomes critical with time. A mainframe failure will cripple the City's ability to collect
revenues and make payments.
2. Take action on a portion of the contracts/agreements, funding appropriation,
and/or position requests.
The appropriation request, contracts/agreements, and position requests although
separate, are companion documents that provide the necessary resources to complete a
successful ERP business system implementation. Partial approval of the motions will
have a negative effect on the City's overall ability to replace current business systems.
Analysis:
The City's current customized business system software was developed by City staff
approximately 25 years ago and, with continued updates, has served the City's needs very
well. However, the City's current and future operating needs require the replacement of the
business system software and the unsupported mainframe computer it currently runs on.
Replacing the current software is critical in order to: 1) be competitive, 2) eliminate
independent computerized databases, which require duplication of effort, 3) implement
process improvement opportunities permitted by single point of data entry, electronic
workflow and Web-based technologies, and 4) meet City auditor requirements for improved
record retrieval and asset management. The software change is also motivated by the
availability of new generation "clientiserver" based technology which replaces mainframe
hardware, improves effectiveness, and lowers the cost of information technology
investments.
The enterprise business system replacement project was evaluated in the following areas:
1. Software
2. Consulting
3. Training
4. Hardware
5. Staffing
6. Timing/Cost
Software---A ten-member core team, consisting of the Administrative Services Director, City
Treasurer, Fire Chief, Finance Director, Chief Accountant, Personnel Director, and four
Information Systems staff members as well as over thirty City staff users, has collectively
spent over two thousand hours reviewing the world's four leading Enterprise Resource
Planning (ERP) software vendors. Based on design and performance, the top two choices,
J.D. Edwards and SAP, were reviewed more extensively including site visits to current
government users, which included Oceanside, CA; Orlando, FL; Phoenix, AZ; and
Sacramento County, CA.
Based on the extensive review described above and review of proposals submitted by J.D.
Edwards and SAP, staff is recommending the purchase of J.D. Edwards World Solutions as
the provider of the City's new ERP software. This new software will be "off the shelf' which
is easier to support in the long term and eliminates dependence on customization.

R QUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTIIIN
MEETING DATE: October 18, 1999 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: FD 99-010
The J.D. Edwards software license, service and maintenance agreement (Attachment 2)
totaling $1,265,341 includes licenses for the following application modules: Foundation
Suite, Financial Suite, Logistics/Distribution Suite, Human Resources Suite, Payroll
Suite, Computer User Education, .lob Costing, Fleet Management, Property
Management, Customer Service Management, Facility Management, and Utility Billing.
Additional third party software will also be required for payroll tax calculation, cash receipting,
business license, and investment management. The Vertex Inc. software and license
agreement (Attachment 3) is included for immediate implementation of the payroll tax
calculation software at a cost of$12,765. Subsequent requests will be made for City Council
approvals of agreements with other third party software providers necessary to complete the
City of Huntington Beach's business system software replacement project. These third party
software products are compatible with the J.D. Edwards Enterprise software.
Consulting — Staff is recommending that Deloitte & Touche, LLP be the implementor of the
ERP software project and conversion of existing data. Deloitte & Touche has extensive
experience in implementing J.D. Edwards software including, most recently, serving as the
implementor for the City of Culver City. During the first two years of a three-year
implementation, Deloitte & Touche will help guide City staff in implementing all of the
software modules except the Utility Module, which will be installed in the third year with J.D.
Edwards as the implementor. Phase I and Phase II consulting services provided by Deloitte
& Touche for the implementation of J.D. Edwards Enterprise software are described in
Attachment 4 at a total cost of $1,934,834.18. Using a Big 5 consulting firm ensures that the
City will have the opportunity to incorporate "best business practices" in developing new
workflow choices.
Infosys Business Systems' services and agreement (Attachment 5) is for contract
programming/automation services required to maintain both the existing accounts payable,
accounts receivable and payroll programming and resources during the transition of these
programs to the J.D. Edwards software. Automation services are also required for the
maintenance of Building and Safety's current computerized inspection program and are
included in the contract. This contract covers the 3-year implementation period with a cap of
$240,000 per year.
Training— Success of an ERP project not only involves the implementation of new hardware
and software but, equally as important, the knowledge transfer of the new software's
operations and training of City staff in the effective use of the system. The proposed project
will provide significant training for the City staff implementing the software as well as training
for the entire citywide user group. Most training will be conducted at J.D. Edwards' Costa
Mesa site or at City Hall. User group training is also included in a Computer User Education
module available to each user at their desktop PC. This education module also provides a
framework for documenting procedures for all processes that the City implements as part of
the new ERP system. These training costs are included in the J.D. Edwards agreement.

Hardware — Hewlett-Packard hardware, which is the current City standard, will be acquired
for the client/servers and configured by Avnet Computer. Avnet will also serve as a technical
resource on hardware issues related to the project. Avnet's agreement (Attachment 6)
costing $415,288.11 provides for sufficient hardware and technical support to implement the
J.D. Edwards ERP business system software and connection to the City's existing network
and remote sites. The City's Microsoft Office software standard, which is also required as
part of the J.D. Edwards' ERP software implementation, will operate on this new hardware.
Staffing — The ERP business system software implementation is one of the most significant
and complex organizational tasks that the City has or will undertake. The challenge is both
complex and labor intensive. Over forty City staff members will be directly committed at
various points during the 3-year project. These forty plus staff members are equivalent to
upward of eleven full time City employees. Deloitte & Touche will be providing the equivalent
of five full time employees to the project as well. Part of the City's implementation costs
includes funding for new positions as well as backfilling positions required for the project.
Several positions within various City departments, with Administrative Services impacted the
most, will need to be backfilled during the ERP project implementation. Positions that require
75% — 100% commitment to the project are considered to be full time and will require direct
backfill. Duties of existing staff who are providing 25% - 50% of their time to the project will
either be absorbed within the department, or assigned to supplemental staff on a contract
basis or through temporary employment agencies.
Additional position requests, including a Database Manager, will be submitted for City
Council consideration in the near future. However, two positions require immediate full time
replacements to begin the project. The Project Manager position (100%), to be filled by
Colleen Keith, Department Analyst Senior from the Fire Department, and one Administrative
Secretary (100%) for the Administrative Services Department are positions that require
immediate replacement. Both of these positions will require staffing amendments to the FY
1999/2000 budget. After project implementation is complete, the additional positions will be
absorbed into the organization via attrition or will be eliminated.
TiminglCost The three-year ERP implementation project will be divided into three, one-
year phases.
Phase I — will implement Financials (General Ledger, Accounts Payable, and
Accounts Receivable); Distribution (Procurement); Payroll; Human Resources;
Budget Module; Payroll Tax Calculator; and Cash Receipting. Cost - $4,555,101.
Timing/Cost (Cont.)
Phase 11 — will implement Job Costing; Activity Based Costing; Fixed Assets; Invoice
and Work Order; Fleet and Property Management; Facility Management; Customer
Service Management; Business License; and Investment Management.
Cost - $1,459,630.
Phase III — will implement Utility Billing followed by the removal of the mainframe
computer. Cost - $1,000,800.

R EST FOR COUNCIL ACTT QU S O
MEETING DATE: October 18, 1999 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: FD 99-010
To protect the City, based on future funding availability, City Council could choose to delay
Phases 11 and Ili. All contracts/agreements have language provisions allowing for such
cancellation. However, the full benefit of enterprise software improvements cannot be
achieved without implementing all of the software modules. Delaying Phase 11 and III would
add costs to the project and make mainframe hardware failure more probable.
Timing of the project is critical to a successful implementation. Fortunately, the City's two-
year budget provides for a first-year Phase I environment that produces the greatest staff
availability for a successful implementation. However, Phase I must be completed within FY
1999/2000 and requires that the project be approved and started immediately to meet this
time line. Failure to start immediately could jeopardize the entire project forcing a start time
delay until FY 2001/2002. Based on the unsupported mainframe, a two-yeas start delay
would stretch the' project to five years and would compromise the operability of the current
financial systems.

New Appropriation Criteria:
In March 1998, the City Council adopted three criteria to follow in requesting a new
appropriation: 1) It is an unanticipated emergency, 2) It is required to implement labor
negotiations, or 3) It is a new expense that is offset by related new revenues. This request
falls under Criteria 1, as the additional Phase I expense was unanticipated and must be
considered an emergency since we must begin the Phase I process by November 1, 1999 in
