CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
FROM:
Honorable Mayor and Council Members
Trevor Agrelius, Finance Director
September 15, 2026 DATE:
SUBJECT: Approval of a Five-Year Agreement with Tyler Technologies, Inc. to Upgrade the City's Enterprise Resource Planning System
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Approve a five-year agreement with Tyler Technologies, Inc., in the not-to exceed amount of $649,920 for the procurement of an upgrade to the City's Enterprise Resource Planning system for financial management;
2. Approve a not-to-exceed 10% contingency of the total contract in the amount of $64,992 for additional support services, for a total not-to-exceed amount of $714,912; and,
3. _ Authorize the City Manager to execute the Agreement and future non discretionary payments for software subscription renewals, subject to the City Attorney making non-substantive changes.
BACKGROUND
The City currently utilizes Tyler Technologies' ERP Pro (formerly lncode) financial management system under an agreement originally executed in August 2017. The City's Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system supports key financial functions, including general ledger, accounts payable and receivable, purchasing, budgeting, cash management, capital assets, project accounting, and contract management. As technology and operational requirements have evolved, the need to modernize the City's ERP system has become increasingly important.
To meet this need, staff has identified opportunities to modernize the City's ERP system by upgrading from ERP Pro to Tyler Technologies' cloud-based Enterprise ERP platform. To support the evaluation process of this system upgrade, staff participated in live demonstrations of the Enterprise ERP platform and further assessed its capabilities through additional research channels. Based on that process, staff observed that the Page2
proposed Enterprise ERP platform has the capability to incorporate additional processes directly into the financial management system, creating a more unified solution, streamlining workflows, and reducing reliance on other third-party software applications.
The proposed agreement will terminate the City's_ existing Tyler Technologies' ERP Pro agreement upon commencement of the new term and migrate the City's financial processes to Tyler's cloud-hosted Enterprise ERP platform.
ANALYSIS
The proposed Enterprise ERP solution includes a comprehensive suite of financial management, revenue management, and enterprise service modules delivered through Tyler Technologies' cloud-based Software as a Service (SaaS) platform. The financial management components include modules dedicated to accounting, accounts payable, budgeting, capital asset management, financial reporting, cash management, contract management, project and grant accounting, and purchasing functions. Revenue management capabilities include accounts receivable and general billing services.
This ERP system upgrade is exempt from competitive bidding as a proprietary acquisition because Tyler Technologies is the owner and sole provider of the City's existing ERP software and associated implementation and migration services. The City also utilizes Tyler Technologies' EnerGov land management system, creating additional opportunities for future integration between multiple City software platforms. This agreement provides for the migration of the City's current Tyler ERP Pro system to Tyler's cloud-based Enterprise ERP platform, including proprietary software, data conversion utilities, implementation services, maintenance, support, and future software updates that are not available from other vendors.
The Enterprise ERP platform will provide several operational and technological benefits to the City. The platform will improve financial reporting and data analysis through integrated analytics, dashboards, and customizable reporting tools, while also streamlining purchasing, accounts payable, budgeting, project and grant accounting, contract management, and other core financial processes.
The software has the capability to consolidate certain functions currently performed through separate third-party applications, including electronic invoice approvals and contract monitoring, into a single integrated ERP solution. This agreement also provides service-level commitments, annual security audits, business continuity protections, disaster recqvery services, and ongoing software updates throughout the term of the agreement.
The City's current annual subscription cost for ERP Pro is approximately $66,385.
Although the proposed Enterprise ERP annual subscription cost of $93,484 represents an increase over the City's current ERP software expenditures, staff successfully negotiated a fixed fee with no annual subscription escalations through the initial five year contract term. By contrast, the City's existing ERP Pro platform is renewed annually and does not have pricing protections. The subscription fees for ERP Pro have Page3
increased by more than 6% annually over the past three years. Additionally, the City currently spends approximately $37,872 annually on third-party software for invoice approvals and contract monitoring. The proposed Enterprise ERP platform has the capability to incorporate these functions into a single integrated system, potentially streamlining the accounts payable process even further. Collectively, the negotiated pricing structure, expanded functionality, and consolidation of third-party systems provide greater long-term value, increase efficiency, and position the City to reduce overall software costs by replacing multiple standalone applications within a single integrated platform.
This agreement supports Strategic Plan Goal No. 2, Fiscal Sustainability, by leveraging technology to streamline business processes and improve financial oversight.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
The City Council may decide not to approve the Agreement with Tyler Technologies, Inc.; however, this is not recommended as that would limit opportunities for operational efficiencies and require continued reliance on legacy ERP software that has fewer capabilities than the proposed cloud-based platform, and may result in additional investments into outside applications.
FISCAL REVIEW
This upgrade will result in an increase of $27,099 in Fiscal Year 2026-2027. However, the City will be in a position to reduce third party subscription software of $37,872, while streamlining the approval and reporting processes for accounts payable:

Part 1: Executive Summary
1. Project Overview
1.1 Introduction
This Statement of Work (SOW) outlines the scope as listed in the Investment Summary of the Agreement between Tyler ("we," "us," or "our") and the Client ("you" or "your"), objectives, deliverables acceptance deadlines, and responsibilities for the implementation of the Tyler software solution. The purpose of this project is to deploy a comprehensive solution that will streamline business processes, improve data visibility , and enhance operational efficiency across key functional areas. This document serves as a mutual agreement between you and us, ensuring a clear understanding of project expectations, governance, and success criteria. The project will follow a structured implementation methodology tailored to align with the client's business needs, regulatory requirements, and strategic goals.
This SOW will help you understand what to expect as we begin the implementation together and get you to a successful go-live so that you can transition over to our maintenance and support team . This SOW is also going to preview some of the challenges that may come with any implementation , regardless of how well it's done and regardless of how well you and we are committed to your success. Moving from your legacy system to a Tyler solution, which is highly configurable but not custom-built and not a replica of what your users have known for years, is certainly a change.
1.2 Project Goals
In a typical Tyler project, the goals are to :
• Successfully implement the contracted scope on time and on budget. • Increase operational efficiencies and empower users to be more productive . • Improve accessibility and responsiveness to external and internal customer needs. • Overcome current challenges and meet future goals.
1.3 Methodology
Our implementations follow a six-stage methodology . While each project is unique, each phase will follow Tyler's six-stage methodology . Each stage is comprised of several work packages that include a narrative description, objectives, tasks, inputs, outputs/deliverables, assumptions, and a responsibility matrix. A stage closes with a stage acceptance control point.
Tyler's Six Stage Project Methodology
Governance
Tyler Project Management ifyler Client Services
City of Laguna Ntguel
Tailored specifically for Tyler's public sector clients, the project methodology contains stage acceptance control points throughout each phase to ensure adherence to scope, budget, tim.eline controls, effective communications, and quality standards . Clearly defined, the project methodology repeats across phases and is scaled to meet the Client's complexity and organizational needs. The methodology adapts to both single phase and multiple-phase projects .
To achieve project success, it is imperative that both the Client and Tyler commit to including the necessary leadership and governance. During each stage of the project, it is expected that the Client and Tyler project teams will work collaboratively to complete tasks. An underlying principle of Tyler's implementation process is to employ an iterative model where the Client's business processes are assessed, configured, validated , and refined cyclically in line with the project constraints. This approach is used in multiple stages and work packages as illustrated in the graphic below.
Iterative Project Model
The delivery approach is systematic, reducing variability , and ensuring project success. As illustrated, some stages, along with work packages and tasks, are intended to be overlapping by nature to complete the project efficiently and effectively.

Tyler Technologies, Inc. Page I 2
Part 2: Project Foundation
2. Project Governance
Project success requires that all participants commit to the necessary leadership and governance to define the management framework for making project decisions. Project governance defines the path for escalation of issues and risks, change control review and authority, and organizational change management activities .
Throughout the Statement of Work, have provided RACI (Responsible - Accountab le - Consulted - Informed) Matrices which outline responsibilities of different roles in each stage. Project governance for this project will be defined during project planning with specific people assigned to each role .
The chart below illustrates a typical structure in which we collaborate to resolve project challenges according to defined escalation paths. If project managers lack authority to determine a solution, resolve an issue, or mitigate a risk, our implementation management and your steering committee become the escalation points to triage responses prior to escalation to your and our executive sponsors. As part of the escalation process, each project governance tier presents recommendations and supporting information to facilitate knowledge transfer and issue resolution. Our respective executive sponsors serve as the final escalation point .

The most successful projects are the ones where the client executive sponsor is clear on the "why" behind the project, and where that "why" is clearly and consistently communicated to other client project stakeholders. We find the most effective change management principles include the following client activities throughout the governance efforts:
■ Helping employees and other stakeholders recognize and understand the need for the change ■ Working to gain up-front buy-in from those same stakeholders • Identifying a thorough, realistic, and strategic plan for achieving that change ■ Determining what the yardsticks for success are and are not • Ensuring accountability for different tasks and decisions over the life of the project • Being laser-focused on what is in-scope and what is not Effective project governance - and effective change management - is especially important to minimize and effectively address project disruptions. Please refer to Appendi x 1 to this Statement of Work , where we flag challenges that can create these types of disruptions . Being aware of these challenges from the outset can help us both spot them before they fester and quickly move to resolve them before they grow .
Refer to Appendix 4 for Escalation Framework for leadership contacts. (only applicable for specific products.)
3. Project Scope Control
3.1 Managing Scope and Project Change
There are three interdependent constraints on a project which determine quality: budget, timeline , and scope. These "triple constraints" dictate that if one constraint is changed, the other two must be correspondingly adjusted . For example, if project scope is increased, cost and time to complete will also increase. The project and executive teams must remain cognizant of these constraints when making decisions that impact the scope, budget, or timeline of the project.
3.2 Change Control
It may become necessary to change the scope of this project due to unforeseeable circumstances (e.g., new constraints or opportunities are discovered) . This project is being undertaken with the understanding that project scope, schedule, and/or cost may need to change based on findings over the course of the implementation, or the impact of other circumstances we encounter together. Changes to contractual requirements will follow the change control process as described below unless a specific change control process is identified in the contract.
3. 3 Change Requests
Should the need for a change to project scope, schedule, and/or cost be identified during the project, the change will be brought to the attention of the steering committee, and an assessment of the change will occur. The process progresses as set forth below :

Including addition of new tasks
that result from ttie change
While such changes may result in additional costs and delays related to the schedule, some changes may result in less cost to you; for example, you may decide you no longer need a deliverable originally defined in the project . Regardless, any change will require a change request that will include the following information:
• The nature of the change
• A good-faith estimate of the additional cost or associated savings to you, if any • The estimated timetable for implementing the change
City of Laguna Niguel
• The effect on and/or risk to the schedule, resource needs, or resource responsibilities You will use good-faith efforts to either approve or disapprove any change request within five (5) business days (or other period that we both agree to) . If you take longer to approve or disapprove, including through inaction or non-responsiveness, cascading impacts to related scheduling components is more likely than not to occur.
4. Acceptance Process
Your project manager is responsible for obtaining all required authorizations and approvals for acceptance of project deliverables, change requests, and control points, if applicable. It is crucially important that your project manager provides timely feedback on deliverables and does not unreasonably withhold approvals or signoffs, including a stage acceptance control point.
The following process will be used for accepting deliverables and control points:
• You will have five (5) business days from the date of delivery, or an otherwise mutually agreed upon timeframe in writing, to accept each deliverable or control point. If you do not accept or acknowledge within five (5) business days, or the otherwise agreed upon timeframe, we will deem the deliverable or control point as accepted. You may not unreasonably withhold acceptance. • If you do not agree that the deliverable or control point meets requirements, you will notify our project manager(s) with justification in writing within five (5) business days, or the otherwise agreed upon period.
• If applicable, we will address any deficiencies and re-deliver the deliverable or control point. You will then have two (2) business days from receipt of the re-delivered item to accept or again submit written justification for rejecting the item(s). If you do not provide acceptance within two (2) business days, or the otherwise agreed-upon timeframe, we will deem the deliverable or control point as accepted . Again, you may not unreasonably withhold acceptance.
5. Roles and Responsibilities
Detailed roles and responsibilities of each project resource are provided in Appendix 2. Roles and responsibilities may not follow your specific organizational chart or position descriptions, so you may have to make specific designations for purposes of the project. Note that it is common for individual resources on both project teams to fill multip le roles, and it is just as common for some to be filled by multiple people.

Part 3: Project Plan
6. Project Stages
Our six-stage methodology uses a work breakdown structure (WBS) to organize project work from stages into smaller , more manageable components ca lled work packages. The work packages are further broken down into individual tasks during project planning to develop the detailed project schedule . Each stage concludes with a control point acceptance, confirm ing the work performed during that stage of the project is completed and has been accepted by the Client before advancing to the next stage. This section gives a brief overv iew of the assumpti ons and objectives of each work package and presents a RACI matrix for each stage.

6.2 Assess & Define
We will provide an initial overview of the functionality of the solution . We will collaborate with the Client to gather information related to current Client business processes and work with the Client to identify , define , and document business processes as they are translated for use within our solution .
6.2.1 Solution Orientation
Solution Orientation provides a high-level understanding of the application functionality before starting the current and future state analysis.
Objectives:
• Provide a basic understanding of application functiona lity . • Prepare the Client for current and future state analysis.
6.2.2 Current & Future State Analysis
The Current & Future State Analysis provides an understanding of process changes that will be achieved and/or required with the new system. The Client must dedicate the necessary time to identify, communicate, document , and/or explain its current business processes in a timely and consistent manner to mitigate risks to project schedule , budget , and/or scope.
Together, we will then evaluate corresponding options within the Tyler solution that most align with your business process goals. These information exchanges may occur before or within the same timeframe as the configuration work package. The available options within our solution will be limited to the scope of this implementation and will make use of standard functionality .
You will adopt business processes that are supported by the existing configurations within our applications wherever possible to avoid project schedule and quality risk from out-of -scope customization . The following guidelines will be followed when evaluating a custom modification request:
• Is a reasonable business process change available?
• Does functionality exist which satisfies the requirement? • Can configuration of the application satisfy the requirement? City of Laguna Niguel
Out-of -scope desired functionality that is not available will follow the agreed upon change request/change control process and can have impacts on the project schedule, scope, budget, and resource availability.
Work package assumptions:
• Client participants retain enough knowledge and authority to make future state decisions. • Client knows and can effectively communicate current state processes. • Client understands that adaptation of legacy processes and adoption of new approaches is an integral part of transition to a new software solution .
• Tyler documents decisions for configuration purposes. Client documents decisions on the future state for procedural purposes .
Objectives:
• Determine and document future state process decisions. • Identify and address any unsatisfied business requirements through the change control process.
6.2.3 Conversion Assessment
Our data experts will perform an analysis of your legacy system(s) and data to evaluate risks, suitability , and opt ions to support a successful transition to our software solution . The project team will plan and document the activit ies requ ired to successfully perform the data conversion.
Work package assumptions:
• You will provide legacy data in a format we approve . • We will wo rk with your staff to identify business rules before writing the conversion . • You will provide resources familiar with the current data for conversion planning.
Objectives:
• Communicate a common understanding of the project goals with respect to data. • Ensure complete and accurate source data is available for review/transfer . • Map the data from your legacy system to our application(s) . • Document the data conversion/loading approach .

• Deploy and confirm environments for implementation.
• Prepare the environments for use.
• Identify your technical resources who will administer the application.
6.3.2 Configuration
The purpose of configuration is to configure the application so that it can be validated in the next stage. Our staff collaborates with yours to comp lete application configuration based on the future state analysis performed during the Assess and Define stage, and you work with us to verify that configuration tracks those outputs . Note: Verification typically follows an iterative process, where downstream changes could lead to rechecking of earlier configuration steps.
Work package assumptions:
■ You participate , as needed, in answering questions when multiple options are available, or future state analysis is unclear .
Objectives:
• Application is ready for validation.
6.3.3 Process Refinement
We will educate your users on how to execute processes in the applications to prepare them for the validation of the application. You will collaborate with our staff to validate configuration options to support future state decisions . Should this iterative process result in new decisions , implementing those changes would be subject to the change contro l process.
Work package assumptions:

• You are responsib le for making all business process decisions based on the options available. • You understand and accept that the new software solution may require process changes, and that defining, documenting, and implementing resulting new policies may be your responsibility. • Your project team will dedicate sufficient time to participate in scheduled activities and complete necessary assignments as outlined in the project schedule. • Delays in completion, reviews, and/or acceptance of any deliverable by you which extends the duration of the project are subject to the change control process for additional costs incurred by the delay, including but not limited to additional service hours for project management , consulting , and conversion development.
7.2 Organizational Change Management
You are responsible for managing organizational change. Your impacted resources will need consistent messaging from leadership to embrace and accept the changes inherent to a new software solution . You will communicate the value and reasons for the change to ensure organizational acceptance .
7.3 Resources and Scheduling
• The initial project schedule is a baseline, and that baseline may evolve over the course of the project based on realities within and outside the project team 's control . You will partner with us to closely identify and manage fluctuations to the initial project schedule and communicate and document shifts and changes in project status meetings as appropriate. • You are responsible for making your contracted vendors available to work with Tyler on project activities
• Project resources will participate in scheduled activities as assigned in the then-current project schedule.
• Abbreviated timelines and overlapping phases require sufficient resources to complete all required work as scheduled.
• Appropriate resources will be provided by both of us to support the efforts to complete the project as jointly scheduled and within the project budget constraints . • Your team will complete prerequisites prior to applicable scheduled activities . Failure to do so may affect the schedule.
• You will make timely project-related decisions, and will respond to information requests in a comprehensive, consistent , and time ly manner, in accordance with the project schedule . ■ Remote and on-site sessions will be scheduled and conducted at a mutually agreeable time that adheres to the project schedule .
• You will provide adequate meeting space or facilities , including appropriate system connectivity, for the project teams.
• For on-site visits, we will identify a travel schedule that balances the need for the project and the resource(s).
• Changes in scope will be requested through a change request. Impacts to the triple constraints (scope, budget, and schedule) will be assessed and documented as part of the change control process.
• You will ensure assigned resources will possess the required business knowledge to complete their assigned tasks successfully . Should there be a change in resources, the replacement resource should have a comparable level of availability, change control process buy-in, and knowledge. • You will respond to information requests in a comprehensive and timely manner, in accordance with the project schedule. You are responsible for ensuring your contracted vendors are available to work with Tyler on project activities .

9. Common Project Challenges
Based on the thousands of projects we have implemented , we have learned the common symptoms of what typically causes a project to struggle . We t hink it is important to acknowledge those potential pitfalls early so that we can work together to avoid them . Those common symptoms include:
• End-user preference to mimic the legacy system: Your users have been doing their jobs for a healthy period of time using buttons, clicks, and workflows that they are very familiar to them . Switch ing to a new software solution, even if it is more modern and better tracks best practices, feels disruptive . But that is a short -term pain, and we have to be passionate advocates of the long-term gain: the investment you have intentional ly made in a Tyler commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software solution with an "evergreen" maintenance model that means your users wil l enjoy the latest and greatest features and functions long after this project goes live. It is not a marker of success or failure whether our software solution replicates the legacy system, and we must work together to ensure users are not making this assumption.
• Refusal to adapt legacy business processes: A close relative of the above is a refusal to adapt legacy business processes. Some of your existing business processes will likely be supported by an existing feature or configuration already available in our software solution. Some, however, will require an adjustment , whether because our software solution does not currently support it and/or because your existing business process is not current with today 's best practices . We need your partnership in helping your end users navigate this part of the change as well. • A lack of focus on change management : Both of the above symptoms will jeopardize project success if they are not neutralized by consistent, committed change management leadership. That engagement is most successfully driven by your executive sponsor who can absorb the individual concerns of constituents and help remind them of the long-term goals that might require compromise along the way. Our project team is committed to providing timely information and communications to your executive sponsor to keep them informed with the data relevant to their successful change management function .
• A binary perspective of project schedule : We understand the value of a predictable project schedule; however , we both must also acknowledge that factors outside our control will catch both of us by surprise . These include weather events, personnel issues and absences, calendar limitations, third party contingencies, and global contingencies, like pandemics. For this project to succeed, we need to control for scope as much as we can, we need to track project schedules as closely as possible, and we need to accept that when surprises hit, we'l l navigate them in good faith together . • Over-referencing to the procurement demonstration: If your procurement included a demonstration stage, then you or your colleagues enjoyed a demonstration by one or more of our solution consultants who showed you standard functions of the Tyler software solution . Those functions relied on "demo data" - so, anonymized, generic data that is not your data, following workflows that have not been specifically configured to your existing workflows . Until that data conversion successfully occurs, and the application(s) are configured according to your choices, you will not be able to test and see it working with "your" data and following "your" workflows. We often have clients who are confused when, shortly after project kickoff , they cannot see an end-to-end function of theirs run in our software solution compared to how it used to run in their legacy system. That confusion is usually heightened when they've seen a demonstration . The simple answer is, we are not there yet! City of Laguna Niguel
• The "fewer clicks" concern: We often hear confusion or frustration from end users who are trained on a discrete task or two and learn that what they used to do "in three clicks" now "takes four clicks." It is important to remember that the improved operational efficiency you are gaining from our software solution should be considered holistically, and not in the vacuum of a discrete task. And an "extra" step or two for a discrete task is usually the result of (a) not conforming a legacy business process to our software solution's functional offering; or (b) the need to update a legacy business process to better track current best practices.

12. Additional Appendices
12. 1 Escalation Framework
Defines the structured escalation process and leadership engagement model to support timely resolution of project issues.
While we do not anticipate issues that cannot be effectively resolved by the assigned project team, we recognize that complex implementa t ions may occasionally require additional support . To ensure continued project success, we have established a structured escalation path that provides access to Tyler leadership when needed . All project-related issues, risks, or concerns should first be communicated to the Tyler project manager , who serves as the primary point of contact and is responsible for facilitating resolution in a timely manner . It is expected that the project manager will be given a reasonable opportunity to assess and address the issue before escalation occurs . If resolution cannot be achieved at the project team level, escalation may proceed through the defined leadership structure outlined below , ensuring appropriate visibility , alignment, and support at each level.
