8 Transition
90 DAY START-UP
The landscape maintenance team at BrightView is prepared to make a positive impact on the existing landscape of the Town of Los Gatos within the first ninety-days. Our start up program will result in identifying those landscape elements that may not meet acceptable standards in plant health, safety, and aesthetics, and outline a plan of landscape management. 90 Day Plan
BrightView is committed to improvement through a systematic development of priorities for safety, bike path conditions, shrub care, tree care, water basin, medians and sidewalks planters and aesthetics.
- Maintain and improve the appearance of the property in general - Start-up and complete summer maintenance cycle and prepare for winter as sections are turned over to the Town of Los Gatos.
- Work with you to further develop a horticultural sound long-term goal and assist with the creation of budgets.
START UP PROCESS
BrightView will prepare a landscape needs assessment (horticultural analysis of the existing landscape) using the objective of the landscape master plan. The first step includes photo documentation to illustrate existing conditions and assist with the determination of benchmarks for improvement. Improvement areas will be designated as those areas impacting site safety, shrubs, hedges, groundcover, and necessary weed abatement. Also included will be a safety inspection, a survey of the entire job site regarding possible hazards and safety concerns. A report on these concerns and recommendations for mitigation will follow. All dead or dying plant material will be removed following approval.
These initial efforts will result in a thorough knowledge and understanding of the sites’ conditions, requirements, and needed areas of improvement. We feel an immediate, positive impact is possible on existing fertility, tree detail and weed control.
WATER MANAGEMENT SERVICES AVAILABLE

SEASONAL ACTIVITIES
At BrightView, we utilize seasonal activities when lawn and plants are dormant. Seasonal Activities Include:
- Dead Heading Seed Head of Fescue and others
- Leaf Clean-Up
- Hard Pruning
9 MAINTENANCE ROUTINE BY AREA
In our 90 day start-up we will submit a maintenance route for the locations that are serviced by frequency. This will include a path of travel, pruning and mowing route. This is a helpful schedule for all city managers to find us in any location during the workweek.
ROUTING OUR TEAMS
Proper routing: reduces wasted time, inefficient service, lower use of fuel per truck and decreases accident rates.
The crew will be assigned a route that they will service per the requirements and agreed upon service frequencies. We will utilize a custom map that plots all the jobs for the city and is coded for frequency, included site notes, and can be used for scheduling.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
▪ After hours shop services to minimize equipment downtime ▪ Scheduled oil and lube/grease changes based on equipment use and conditions ▪ Daily cleaning of equipment and checks for loose nuts and bolts ▪ Daily sharpening of mower blades to provide clean cuts ▪ Daily inspection of safety switches
▪ Monthly renovation of equipment by shop manager
▪ Extra equipment available for use when others are in the shop ▪ Mobile fleet mechanic
▪ Every property is different and thus has a unique set of maintenance needs. We will evaluate the areas of work in detail to create a maintenance plan that will fit into our new direction like the one below.
TASK SPECIFIC ITEMS
Pruning: Pruning will be performed at least three times per year at each site. Best horticultural practices will be followed when pruning. The Town of Los Gatos will be consulted if there are any questions on desired pruning in an area.
Chemical Applications: All field staff are trained annually on the safe and proper handling of pesticides. Though not every person is expected to spray, we want to ensure that the staff knows how to handle it in case of an emergency. The spray program will be overseen by a certified QAL and Edwin Cortez, Production Manager, is readily available to assist in creating unique spray programs, perform in-depth trainings or help diagnose plant health issues.
Fertilizer: Our team will be training with Edwin Cortez, Production Manager, to assist us in getting even coverage and proper application of our fertilizer.
Leaves: When leaf season hits it is all hands-on deck. We know how challenging leaf season can be and have the equipment and manpower to handle it in a timely manner. We have multiple leaf vacuums and large dump trucks for quick and efficient loading of the leaves. We have crews come ahead and prepare areas ahead of the leaf trucks so that we can fully use them when the leaf fall is intense. We have an extra truck on hand to rotate in while the first is on its way to the dump. At peak season we are taking multiple dumps per day to the green waste stations. We also have two tow behind blowers, which we use to help get the leaves out of the street or sidewalks; they are able to quickly move large amounts of leaves.
When possible, we mulch the leaves and return the clippings to bare planter beds to help build up a healthy layer of topsoil in the planter beds. Leaves are removed from the turf when there is a lot of buildup, when the leaf fall is not significant the mow crew mulches the leaves into the grass. This enlarges our ability to handle more sites per day.
Weed, Disease and Pest Control Plan: We will provide on a monthly basis our material data
10 safety sheets on all products used and provide a screen shot each month of our Contractor's State Pesticide Report.
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is an environmentally sensitive approach to pest management that incorporates three phases of control: prevention, observation, and intervention. Through this approach, BrightView significantly reduces or eliminates the use of pesticides. We can manage pests below a tolerable population threshold without hindering the beneficial organisms that assist in maintaining the environment. Products are initially selected for their effectiveness and the Directors of Technical Services evaluate each product according to its performance (efficacy) and the plant's tolerance to the product. Complete IPM program included in proposal.
Products are also screened for their possible effects on the health of employees, clients, and the public. Healthy plants managed in the proper environment can tolerate more pests and disease.
Pest control relies on good cultural practices, trapping, predators, biological controls, least toxic alternatives, as well as traditional pesticides when necessary. All these methods are used by BrightView to incorporate IPM into our projects.
Irrigation System Maintenance and Repair Plan: Primary goal will include an initial inspection of the irrigation system at all locations to identify any system failures and repair accordingly in addition to providing a report for the Town of Los Gatos for review. Reporting will be completed as outlined in the RFP scope of work.
A systematic approach will be utilized to maximize the use of controllers for seasonal irrigation including the frequency and duration to meet the water requirements of the plan serviced by the valve. Programming of the controllers will be done in accordance as directed by the City Account Manager. System checks will be performed weekly to identify maintenance repairs as specified in the RFP scope of work. Measures will be adhered to in the event drought conditions are mandated
TREE CARE
• Tree Pruning:
• Maintain site lines and clearance
• Prune as necessary to maintain open walkways, intersections, security cameras and stations, utility access etc.
• Trip and fall hazards
• Regularly remove dead, broken and hanging branches.
• Future tree structure
• Prune young trees for central leader and spaced branching Disease Control:
• Reduce amount dead leaves and dieback on certain trees and shrubs • Disease control program for sycamores, roses, oaks, and other woody plants Insect Control:
• Reduce sticky honeydew and sooty mold
• Treat aphids and similar sucking insects that feed on sugary plant sap. Sometimes this sticky sap drips onto walkways and patios. Dark mold often grows on the sap. Dirt sticks to dripping sap blowing onto windows.
Staking and Guying Plan

• Trees that are injured by stakes and/or girdled by ties will be replaced by BrightView.
11 STAFFING PLAN:
Quantity Position
1 Project/Account Manager
1 Production Managers
2 Full time crew members with truck and trailer
1 Irrigation tech
• Production Manager support the Project/Account Managers to coordinate the crews, create quality control inspections (QI) and other field activities. Our Production Managers directly supervise the crews and quality of our services. They conduct regular spot checks of each crew and routine physical inspections of all job sites. They will also provide reports and updates as needed to the Town of Los Gatos Maintenance Managers. • Mowing: The mowing is scheduled and geographically routed. Crews will provide turf care service by area, including mowing, leaf abatement, hazard checks, hardscape blowing, and all detailing. Porters will be working in the same geographical regions as the mowers.
Crew sizes will be dictated by areas and efficiencies. The mow crews are to police areas where they are pruning for trash and branches and are to communicate safety, irrigation or weed issues to Account Managers.
In the winter months when mowing services are reduced, the Account Manager will be sending written communication about any delays in mowing services due to rain, frost, or storms, as well as a written plan to get back in schedule.
• Pruning: We will be providing crews to complete the pruning at least three times per year.
These crews will perform shrub pruning, ground cover edging, vine control where applicable, supplemental weed control, debris removal and trash pick-up. Priority will be given to safety clearance of corners, sidewalks, bike paths and other pedestrian or vehicle access/visibility issues.
Time has been scheduled in the annual schedule for pruning crews to assist with leaf drop in the winter and weeds in the spring as needed.
• Irrigation manger: We will have one irrigation manager who will work as the point of contact for the Town of Los Gatos irrigation. He will be responsible to organize tasks for the Irrigation Technicians; reporting and following up on work orders; updating Google Docs and overseeing quality control. He will also oversee the monitoring and adjustment of the stand-alone systems, as well as assist in performing repairs if needed. • Irrigation technicians: Three irrigation technicians report to the irrigation manager. Our irrigation technicians are familiar with the contract and know the irrigation systems intimately. Their knowledge and work effort help set us apart from other contractors. One of the technicians will be devoted to the checking and basic repairs of the Town of Los Gatos controllers. He will conduct on-site irrigation system checks for maximum water efficiency and propose programming changes to the Town of Los Gatos for the centralized system.
He will monitor and adjust stand-alone systems, as well as perform any repairs necessary.
The other two technicians will work with the irrigation manager to repair contractual issues reported by the Town of Los Gatos. The irrigation technicians will also be point of contact with the field for any repairs or issues the field staff see in their areas. Any issues found by the technicians or field staff will be reported to the irrigation manger to be repaired or discussed as needed with the Town of Los Gatos. They will also be assisting with the
12 system checks on city controllers. Managers and field staff communicate with the irrigation team through phone
• calls, site walks and texts. Texts include photos of the issues as well as site locations and details of the issue.
• Irrigation Repair Technicians: Irrigation technician and crew focused on billable repairs that consist of a separate team so that your landscape does not fall behind. • Spray Technicians: We have 3 experienced spray technicians who work independently, at the direction of the Production Manager, to perform chemical and non-chemical weed control efforts, and general hazard checks. The technicians are trained and will be supervised by a DPR Qualified Applicator. Prune crews, mow crews and porters will supplement post-emergent spraying while on site. Spray technicians will also perform all pre-emergents, turf post-emergents, and plant growth regulator applications. They can also apply chemical for aphid prevention, fruit reduction and other pest control activities if desired.
• Enhancements Crews: The Branch has an enhancement team for installation, and renovation projects or any large projects like weed abatement or large pruning projects that are outside of the scope of work. They are available as support to the Account Manager and Customer for consultation and design of renovation or water conservation projects. In addition, we have these enhancement crews separate from our maintenance crews to perform any billable work.
• Staff: BrightView currently has the management and field staff ready to devote to the contract, including experienced crew leaders, trained and efficient irrigation technicians and multiple spray technicians, we will hire on field staff as needed between being awarded the contract and the start of the contract so that we can be prepared to start the new contract off strong.
o Each crew is supervised by an English-speaking Crew Leader and cross trained with another Crew Leader to provide consistent, quality service in the event of vacation or sick time. Generally, they will work in 2-man crews, but crews may work in tandem. This will allow for several staff to be familiar with all areas. • Our Crew Leaders and Technicians are included in the planning and scheduling of the work, as well as given direct supervision and training from our Account Managers, Production Managers, Branch Manager and Regional Manager. • Meetings will be conducted weekly with Crews, Technicians and Manager to review schedule and priorities. Adherence to the maintenance schedule will be strictly enforced through on-site physical checks and regular communication via telephone. • All crews, technicians and managers are equipped with phones with email, camera, and text abilities to ensure timely and thorough communication from the field to both customer and internal parties.

15 BrightView Landscape Maintenance IPM
Program
The BrightView fertilizer and pest control programs are IPM programs. Pests are identified and monitored. Monitoring insects, mites and diseases means someone working in the landscape must see damaged ornamental plants from the insects or disease, be familiar with that damage, and observe the damage over time. Is it getting worse? Is it spreading? And, does it matter to the clients and people who live, work or recreate in the landscape. Location is important as well. Shrubs covered with sticky honeydew from sucking insects near a building entrance is a concern, shrubs covered with sticky honey, but in a parking lot perimeter bed, may not be an issue. However, these plants must be monitored to ensure the sucking insects are not causing the shrubs to decline.
The major landscape pest is weeds. Weeds are prevented by many management practices.
BrightView only uses pesticides such as herbicides, insecticides, miticides where pests are degrading the landscape or causing unacceptable plant damage. This is often called an Action Threshold, and will vary by type of property and standards set the property manager. There is also business incentive minimize pesticide use. BrightView contracts include most pest control and BrightView does not charge for most pesticide applications. Consequently, labor and materials cost of pesticide applications are an expense - with no off-setting revenue.
Fertilizer products are chosen for both landscape plant needs and environmental goals of the client.
Most fertilizer use is for fine turf that is expected to have few weeds. Nitrogen fertilizer maintains the turf density to keep weeds from establishing in soil exposed to sunlight. Turf that must tolerate wear like event lawns and sports turf requires enough nitrogen fertilizer to maintain enough active growth to replace plants damaged by objects placed on the turf, foot traffic and sports use. As with pesticides, fertilizer is usually a labor and material cost with no off-setting revenue. Minimizing turf fertilizer applications reduces mowing time, fuel use and equipment wear. These are all expenses that are reduced – a benefit of reduced fertilizer. However, as discussed above if the turf grows too slowly and becomes thin, weeds will invade much more easily. Weeds are the best adapted plants on the landscape, and they will invade. Consequently, if we use too little fertilizer, we will incur an increased expense for labor and herbicides to control the weeds – a cost of reduced fertilizer.
Fertilizer needs vary with types of plants. Many established woody plants need very little fertilizer.
Plants mulched with chipped branches or “Arbor mulch” often need little fertilizer. As much as possible, branches from pruning and all woody plant material is chipped and spread on site. Besides fertilizer value, the decaying mulch creates a spongy layer that holds water longer, and runoff is reduced.
Nitrogen stimulates more growth and flowering. Roses and many flowering perennials will have more visual impact when fertilized regularly through the year. Potassium fertilizer may be needed to support the nitrogen stimulated growth. Certain soils supply very little phosphate, and this need is indicated by regular soil testing.
16 Weed Control
Avoid Soil Movement of Landscapes
Major pollutants in urban areas with up-to-date Agency regulations are air pollution, largely from internal combustion engines and soil that is washed or blown off landscapes. Anytime soil is disturbed it can then be moved by air or water. A key part of minimizing pollution from soil is protecting unpaved soil surfaces with vegetation and mulch, and not disturbing the soil by digging.
A significant amount of soil disturbance can result from digging up weeds to keep them from resprouting from roots and other underground parts.
Weeds are Adapted to Commercial Landscapes
Most Western landscape soil, even though compacted and root aeration-deficit prone, is quite fertile and many landscapes receive some nitrogen fertility from air pollution and recycled water. Many weeds are adapted to these “disturbed” and fertile conditions and are consequently well adapted to the urban landscape. Short of extensive digging the only way to do this is with systemic herbicides.
All “alternative” herbicides are contact materials and consequently are usually ineffective. Many hard to control weeds are:
• Adapted to fire - weeds are tolerant of losing their tops either by burning off using flaming or herbicidal soaps, or mechanically with hoes.
• Adapted to drought - many weeds quickly grow a large root system which makes them tolerant of losing their tops from flaming, hoeing or contact herbicides. • Adapted to intense grazing by sheep and goats - which makes them tolerant of losing their tops from flaming, contact herbicides, or hoeing.
• Weeds from Europe have gone through intense selection from the ice ages that squeezed all life into small areas between the ice and the Mediterranean Sea.
Many weeds from continental four season climates do not have these adaptations It is important to select competitive landscape plants that will shade the weeds. Shrubs are typically best for this.
Herbicides required to control landscape adapted weeds
There are no organic/natural selective, systemic or preemergent herbicides. There are many claims and anecdotal information but no scientific or evidence based information to back the claims. There are many organic/natural non-selective contact herbicides.
None of the herbicides used by BrightView will leave the landscape when used properly and pose negligible risk to trained workers. Exposure to the public is negligible because these herbicides do not significantly volatilize and are very difficult to dislodge once the applied herbicide has dried.
Ornamental landscapes are largely composed shrubs, trees and grasses. These plants exude a large amount of sugars and others organic compounds from their roots into the soil. This exudate supports a high level of biological activity that is part of the soil-plant-food web and rhizosphere.
Herbicides and other chemicals are rapidly metabolized by the soil microbes. Glyphosate is the herbicide used the most commonly, and it binds tightly to soil and will not move unless the soil moves. The preemergent herbicides isoxaben, prodiamine, and dithiopyr, when needed, are used in high enough quantity to create a continuous barrier to weed seed germination near the soil surface. However, these herbicides are not very soluble and will not move, again, as long the soil does not move.
The selective, systemic broadleaf herbicides triclopyr, 2,4-D, dicamba, and MCPP are soluble and move into the soil where they are rapidly broken down by the very biologically active rhizosphere around turfgrass roots.
17 Safety
Driver safety is included in BrightPath Training and is a regular topic of safety tailgates.
BrightView trains drivers using the Smith System - 5 Rules of Safe Driving. We perform daily inspections on all vehicles. BrightView utilizes an electronic Driver Vehicle Inspection Report tool to ensure all vehicles are checked daily, Federal DOT requirements are met and to keep our equipment properly maintained and operational.
Our crew vehicles are equipped with all the standard safety devices outlined above. Each morning , prior to the workday, crew leaders inspect all trucks and trailers. BrightView also has extensive driver safety certification program, mandatory weekly field crew safety meetings and weekly management safety calls.
Our vehicles are equipped with the following:
• Fire Extinguisher (charged / mounted / inspected within last 12 months) • OSHA 10-person first aid kit
• Safety triangle kit
• Spill kit
• 16 oz eye wash kit
• Cones (Pickup = 3, Truck & Trailer = 5, Dump Bed Truck = 5) • Annual DOT or inspection sticker is current
• Driver and vehicle documents present
Prior to any work being performed our team members must perform the Take 2 Pre-Job Safety Briefing to raise awareness around workplace hazards and reduce employee exposure to hazardous conditions. This process has been implemented in an electronic version where team members can complete the eTake 2 Pre-Job Safety Briefing through the WorkSpaces phone app.
Additional Information on Cones
All Maintenance Truck and Trailer combos shall be inspected during dispatch/gate checks to ensure five (5) traffic cones are properly loaded and stored on the vehicles.
All Enhancement, Irrigation and Production Manager vehicles require three (3) traffic cones.
Required: 28” minimum height, orange cone with two reflective stripes and black base.
Positioning of Cones for Trucks and Towed Units:
• Position cones behind the towed unit, angles toward the curb or side of the road (D.O.T or state guidelines may need to be used).
• One cone positioned in front of the vehicle.
• One cone positioned alongside between truck and towed unit. High visibility safety vests are required for all workers near traffic.
Example:
Positioning of Cones for Vehicles without Towed Units:
• One cone positioned behind the vehicle
• One cone positioned in front of the vehicle
• One cone positioned alongside the vehicle
18 Example:
Lastly, our team members have the right to stop work authority and that if any work cannot be performed safely…STOP…and contact Branch Management or Branch Safety Leader. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.
Quality
The QSA System is BrightView’s nationwide program that helps standardize the quality audit process. Implementing the QSA system will allow us to perform Landscape Quality Evaluations with efficiency and integrity while providing our customers and management a tool to monitor our performance. Our diversified training and communication methods allow us to manage client expectations proactively. One of the successful ways BrightView ensures quality performance is by utilizing a structured self-evaluation process. The QE system will set the standards for the Landscaping Industry.
Technology allows us to dispatch immediately if there is an issue and provide confirmation of completion through photos and prompt reporting. Photos, Quality Inspection Reports and Quality Site Assessments are also used daily to help identify issues and work order locations, as training tools using before and after shots, and to clarify expectations.
In addition to the QSA program, BrightView has an internal quality assurance program called QI.
This program is used to drive regular crew and team development conversations. The objective is to increase site quality, enhance crew leader and crew development and standardize branch operational practices. Your Account Manager and Branch Manager are responsible for conducting QI’s and these are used as a tool to coach and develop the crews.
19 QI Example:
Training
Our employees are constantly trained in their individual areas and are fully capable of providing the highest quality of services. Through our “BRIGHTPATH PROGRAM” we offer training for entry level individuals and a career path for growth to all levels of employees. All Project Managers and Supervisors are supported by a new BrightView App which provides them with the tools they will need, such as a complete trainer guides and skills matrix.
This program not only Increases team member satisfaction and retention, it also ensures the delivery of ready, trained, safe and enabled crews who provide consistent, quality service to our customers. With ongoing training and coaching they will acquire new skills and develop professionally and grow in their careers at BrightView.
20 As part of BrightView’s commitment to safeguard the health of its employees, it provides a safe place to work and to supply its customers with the highest quality service, the company has a clear policy on the use of alcohol, drugs and other controlled substances by its employees.
Because substance abuse, either while at work or away from work, can seriously endanger the safety of employees, company property, and render it impossible to supply top-quality service, the company has established its program to detect and remove users or abusers of alcohol, drugs, and other controlled substances.

TOWN OF LOS GATOS
COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: 6/21/2022
ITEM NO: 11
DATE: June 10, 2022
TO: Mayor and Town Council
FROM: Laurel Prevetti, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Accept the Complete Streets and Transportation Commission’s Recommendation to Not Proceed with a Pilot Program with Any Electric Scooter Providers
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Town Council accept the Complete Streets and Transportation Commission’s (CSTC) recommendation to not proceed with a pilot program with any electric scooter providers.
BACKGROUND:
At its November 2, 2021, meeting the Town Council received a staff presentation on shared mobility devices and provided direction to forward the item to the CSTC for consideration.
Shared mobility devices, such as electric scooters and bikes, experienced a period of broad interest and deployment that has since consolidated back to a more controlled implementation in cities throughout the State. These mobility devices can be rented by the public via a smartphone application that unlocks the motorized devices and lets the user park it when the rider arrives at their chosen destination.
DISCUSSION:
The CSTC identified the Multi-Mobility Policy as one of the Commission’s 2022 priorities. This priority would focus on motorized scooters, skateboards, and e-bikes. The CSTC assigned an Ad Hoc Committee to look specifically into the use of electric scooters in Los Gatos.
The CSTC prepared and approved a report titled Recommendation on E-Scooters (Attachment 1) for the Town Council’s consideration. This report documents the Ad Hoc Committee’s
PAGE 2 OF 2
SUBJECT: Electric Scooter Pilot CSTC Recommendation
DATE: June 10, 2022
DISCUSSION (continued):
activities, describes the Commissioners’ input, and provides the CSTC’s recommendations. In addition, the report includes meeting notes and information on peer agency experience.
At the May 12 meeting, the CSTC voted to recommend to the Town Council not to move forward with a pilot with any shared mobility device providers and at its June 9 meeting, approved the Recommendation on E-Scooters report.
CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends the Town Council accept the recommendation from the Complete Streets and Transportation Committee of not proceeding with an electric scooter pilot program with any providers.
COORDINATION:
This report was coordinated with the CSTC.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact as a result of the recommended action.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
This is not a project defined under CEQA, and no further action is required.
Attachment:
1. CSTC Report: Recommendation on E-Scooters
Recommendation on E-Scooters
Complete Streets and Transportation Commission
June 9 2022
Summary:
The Complete Streets and Transportation Commission has been reviewing our options for EScooters in Los Gatos. We do not see a compelling reason to move forward with a Pilot program for E-Scooters for Los Gatos.
1. Our belief is that rental scooters would not reduce the reliance on automobiles in Los Gatos.
2. E-Scooters would not be close enough to homes to be used for errands, coffee, or a meal, or for employees commuting to Los Gatos. Residents are more likely to use their own bikes or E-Bikes or buy their own E-Scooter to get to downtown.
3. E-Scooters would not be used to provide transportation for gaps in other mobility modes. a. Buses are not used very much and the one line goes all the way to Downtown LG. b. Campbell Light Rail is too far away to get much use for downtown Los Gatos. c. Downtown LG is not that large an area. Most people park their cars and walk where they need to go.
4. E-Scooters work best when there is robust infrastructure of bike lanes coming into Los Gatos and in the downtown area. Highway 9, Winchester/N Santa Cruz, University, and Los Gatos Blvd do not have robust bike lanes in various locations coming into Los Gatos.
5. The Commission has concerns regarding Rental E-Scooter parking, speeding, and riding on sidewalks. Some mitigations do exist for some of these potential problems.
6. In order to run a proper E-Scooter Pilot Program, significant work will be needed from Town Staff. The additional work could take away from other priorities that staff is working on.
Activities:
The Commission assigned an Ad Hoc Committee to look into the use of E-Scooters. The Ad-Hoc Committee participated in the following activities.
1. Met with a representative of Bird, an E-Scooter Rental Company. Attachment A.
2. Met with the person in charge of the E-Scooter program in downtown San Jose.
Attachment B.
3. Reviewed Pilot Program Slides from Fairfax, VA, a city with somewhat similar demographics to Los Gatos. Thanks to Town Staff for finding these presentations.
Helpful Slides included in Attachment C.
Attachment 1 Page 341
4. Reviewed the Mobility Section of the Plan 2040 for Los Gatos. For reference:
Additional Thoughts:
1. E-Scooter Rental companies have some helpful features:
a. “Geo-fencing” limits the rental E-Scooters to prevent riding outside a geographic area, limits speed in a geographic area, and in some instances prevents riding on a sidewalk. b. Rental E-Scooters have an overall programmable speed limit.
2. Designated parking areas would need to be created for E-Scooters to encourage proper parking.
3. The CSTC would not recommend riding rental E-Scooters on the Los Gatos Creek Trail due to the already heavy usage by pedestrians, bicycles, e-bikes, and privately owned e-scooters and e-skateboards. A fallback position would be to limit the speed of rental E-scooters to <10 mph while on the trail.
4. A few details of possible Town responsibilities for running a Pilot Program are included in attachment C.
5. Future Considerations:
a. If south parking lots were full, maybe people would park in the north lots and use an EScooter to get to E Main St or Town Plaza Area. b. Scooters might be used to travel from the North 40 to Downtown. c. If light rail come to the Vasona Area, E-Scooters could be used from the Vasona Station to Downtown.
Attachment A: Bird Electric Scooters Meeting with Los Gatos CSTC Ad Hoc 3/3/2022 Summary
Benefits of Electric Scooters
1. Electric Scooters are an alternative to cars to reduce traffic congestion and car parking concerns.
2. Electric Scooters are faster than walking.
3. Bird appears well organized and experienced with Electric Scooters in 350+ cities/towns.
They provide incentives for users to wear a helmet and park the scooter in a designated parking area. They employ fleet managers who re-distribute scooters several times per day.
4. Cost is $1.00 to unlock + ~$0.40 per minute
Concerns with Electric Scooters
1. Potential ugly crowded parking areas. This could discourage pedestrians.
2. Los Gatos is not being guaranteed side walk detection from Bird where the scooters would be prevented from operating on a sidewalk. This could be a big deal because a scooter going 15mph on the sidewalk downtown next to pedestrians where it is crowded would be dangerous.
3. Concerns of adding to the congestion of the creek trail via electric scooters.
4. Will Electric Scooters provide an overall net benefit to the town? Next Steps
1. Talk with nearby towns with similar demographics to Los Gatos who have implemented Electric Scooters to get their experience and concerns.
2. Suggestions from the Commission?
Questions and Answers with Bird
Michael Covato – Bird - Territory Manager 16 States
Program Design
• How many scooters would you anticipate stocking in a town like Los Gatos? o Bird uses an algorithm that would predict 375-400. But actually practically start with 70-100.
o No cost to city or business.
o Dashboard available with location of scooters and tracking/heat map data. o How are scooters moved around: Use machine learning based on data tracking.
Fleet managers collect scooters from wherever their end point ends up and place them dispersed where the best use location is. Rebalancing occurs multiple times per day.
o Users should be 18 or older (legal age).
• Have other towns our size had problems with scooters blocking streets and sidewalks? • Where are these scooters generally parked in an older town like Los Gatos? On the side walk? What does this look like for walkers?
o Town can designate scooter parking areas. Bird will offer incentives to end a ride at a parking area.
o Fleet managers can be contacted at 24/7 phone number with photos to resolve issues with improper parking quickly and easily.
• Can someone ride to other Cities?
o Yes, depending on permission from neighboring cities. Programmable (geofencing) to limit travel locations. o Scooters can be programmed for locations they can be used for a specific event as well as speed limits.
• What are the Cities that have signed on? See Bird’s website. o 350-400 cities.
• What kind of complaints do other similar older towns report? o New change: People not expecting scooters. Do press release to mitigate this issue.
o Improperly parked scooters would probably be a complaint. o Limit speed to 15 mph? or slower?. Programmable per location (geo-fencing).
Don’t ride on sidewalk would be education issue. Need to consider reasonable limits on speeds relative to cars and bicycles. Newer scooters have sidewalk detection, but LG probably won’t have this tech to start with. o Use of scooters Los Gatos Creek Trail? Programmable geo-fencing available, but restriction would be frustrating for scooter users.
• Is the business model centralized around making these work for a town or is this a fancy marketing for purchase items?
o Primary business is scooters, Bird has to make this work for the town. • What is the cost of a ride?
o $1 to unlock + $0.39-0.42 / minute.
o Incentives to reduce cost: helmet, parking in approved spots, etc.
Places You Can Ride
● What would prevent the scooters from being used on sidewalks esp. in downtown? ○ Preventing riding on sidewalk would be education issue. ○ Newer scooters have sidewalk detection, but LG probably won’t have this tech to start with.
● Would scooters function like cars in downtown as there is no bike lane? ○ Paradigm would be to think that scooters can go where bikes go.
Safety
● Can you share safety statistics from a town comparable to the size of Los Gatos? ● Do you collect data on others (walkers) injured by Bird scooters? If so how often does this occur? What kind of injuries are most common?
○ About the same as a bicycle. Very low percentage of collisions/ride. ● Helmet safety has really taken off for bikes. How do helmets become feasible in this model?
○ Bird will provide helmet for $~10. Or provide for bulk helmets for town purchase and distribution.
● How do e-scooters safely pass bikers? Pass on side of cars? ○ All have running lights, bells. Same issues as bicycles. Lane splitting is however, legal in California.
Questions and Answers with Bird Ying Smith’s notes in blue Program Design
• How many scooters would you anticipate stocking in a town like Los Gatos? 375 to 400 to start. Would come in with a smaller number, 65 – 70 units.
Distribution: partner with the field manager, fleet managers. deploy and rebalance are dynamic, based on machine learning. Rebalance multiple times per day.
• Have other towns our size had problems with scooters blocking streets and sidewalks? Typically between the sidewalk and parkstrip (?).
If a user doesn’t park properly to take a picture, they would incur a CC charge. Bird is responsible for removing Birds parked at the wrong places (24-hour contact number). • Where are these scooters generally parked in an older town like Los Gatos? On the side walk? What does this look like for walkers?
• Can someone ride to other Cities?
• What are the Cities that have signed on? See Bird’s website. • What kind of complaints do other similar older towns report? Not the same types of complaints as the older models. Most common: scooters parked in wrong places.
• Is the business model centralized around making these work for a town or is this a fancy marketing for purchase items?
The shared scooter side is much bigger than the retail scooter side. • What is the cost of a ride? Estimated around $4.75 on average in LG. • Parking: can designate parking area and restrict no parking areas (like sidewalk).
Management: real time dashboard to track usage
Special event deployment
Speed: capped at 15 mph, can be reduced at certain locations. For the most part, the State Laws treat it as a bicyclist.
Reservation function
Places You Can Ride
● What would prevent the scooters from being used on sidewalks esp. in downtown? Some scooters have the sensor for sidewalk, but not all at the beginning. Can only promise a small number to Los Gatos at the beginning. Currently, the tools are education and fine. ● Would scooters function like cars in downtown as there is no bike lane? Safety
● Can you share safety statistics from a town comparable to the size of Los Gatos? City safety studies and an independent study, will send. Do you collect data on others (walkers) injured by Bird scooters? If so how often does this occur? What kind of injuries are most common?
● Helmet safety has really taken off for bikes. How do helmets become feasible in this model?
Provides an inexpensive helmet and free distribution.
Attachment B: Electric Scooters Meeting with San Jose and CSTC Ad Hoc 4/22/2022 Attending: Craig Dittmer (manages e-scooters for City of San Jose), Cheri Binkley, Gillian Verga, Jeff Thompson
How many rentable escooters are there from suppliers in San Jose. 6000 pre-pandemic, 2200 now.
What companies are you using?
Bird 2/3 and Lime 1/3. Spin for sidewalk detection trial, several other smaller companies.
What are the benefits San Jose sees from allowing electric scooters? Stop gap solution, 15 minute solution. Escooters provide transportation between gaps in other modes. Ie. Gaps between transportation types.
What concerns do you see with Electric Scooters.
If bike infrastructure doesn’t exist (eg. Bike lanes), then there can be problems. Eg. Riding on sidewalks.
Who uses escooters? Many locals use once, but may not be regular users. Occasional and tourist users. 3 tiered plan might be worth investigating: local, tourists, low income. Use the contact info on credit card.
What safety concerns do you have with escooters. Speeding? Running stop signs/stop lights? Ongoing issue. Helmet not required for riders. Hard to mandate helmets. Biggest issue:
additional scooters overwhelming infrastructure at an intersection. Collisions with Peds or cyclist are rare.
Do you allow escooters on sidewalks?, in bike lanes?, in car lane? Issues with any of these? Not on sidewalks, not in SJSU,
Do you have problems with escooters being parked improperly ie. On sidewalks or in front of businesses or in parking places, etc.
Not normally, now that designated parking places are put in place.
What are the main resident complaints you receive?
Sidewalk riding is biggest complaint. Clearly defined parking areas help with complaints for parking escooters.
Do you have any issues with getting escooters distributed to where they are needed? It works fairly well. The permit has provisions for $ Charges to the supplier if rebalancing gets out of whack. Ie $500 ticket.
What is the cost to rent an escooter? Do residents think this is reasonable? OK for occasional users and tourists. Not OK for commuters.
Do you allow them on the Guadalupe Trail. How is this working? They are allowed on GRT, but problem if they go 18 mph. Craig would not recommend escooters on LGCT. Maybe limit speed to 10 mph.
Do you use geo-fencing? How does this work out?
Yes, geofencing used. Spin has trial going on using sidewalk detection. Bird working on sidewalk detection by end of 2022. Lidar makes maps very accurate, GPS not so accurate.
Do incentives offered by suppliers effective? ie to wear helmets and park where directed? Craig was not aware of incentives offered by suppliers to reduce cost.
How do you control private escooters vs supplier offered escooters.
No regulations for private escooters. Less likely to be reckless at $1500 per scooter. They are <
0.5% or lower of the total escooters.
Any recommendations on which escooters supplier to use? Moving target. Scalability can be an issue. Need 750 scooters on ground to make it work for a supplier. Bird is fine, not so sure about Lime. Spin is good but exclusive. Useful for LG, Sara, Campbell, Cupertino if they could share suppliers, it might work better. As far as Craig knows, other towns in the area are unregulated so far.
Final Thoughts: Think about feasibility. SJ barely big enough for 2 providers. Try a trial period to gage public interest. Craig is only staff member for escooters in San Jose: 1500 hours/year, ¾ FTE. $97/year/escooter permit fee. Consider per trip fee, although this would provide variable funding. Berkeley has 0.3 FTE on staff. Work with others who have done this before. Craig is willing to continue to be a resource for us. This is very much appreciated.

TOWN OF LOS GATOS
COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: 06/21/2022
ITEM NO: 12
ITEM NO:
DATE: June 9, 2022
TO: Mayor and Town Council
FROM: Laurel Prevetti, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Approve an Amendment to the Classification Plan to Create a Flexibly Staffed Police Records Specialist Job Series
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve an amendment to the Classification Plan to create a flexibly staffed Police Records Specialist job series.
BACKGROUND:
The Town of Los Gatos Personnel Rules and Regulations (Section 4.4) and the Municipal Code (Section 2.30.925) require that amendments and revisions to the classification plan are effective upon approval by Town Council. Changes must be presented to Council for approval as part of the formal budget adoption, through the labor negotiations process, or as needed.
DISCUSSION:
The Town has an existing Police Records Specialist classification that was last revised in September 2014. In the process of a recent review of the classification, it was determined that a flexibly staffed classification series would better meet the needs of the Police Department to provide a mechanism for succession planning and a career ladder for existing and future employees.
In accordance with the Town’s existing Flexibly Staffed Classes procedure, flexible staffing is the alternate use of two or more classes in a designated series. Flexibly staffed classes allow Departments to hire at the entry-level and provide a career incentive as employees become proficient and gain more experience which ultimately benefits the Town through retention and reduced training time. Alternatively, Departments may hire new employees at the more

SUBJECT: Amendment to the Classification Plan to Create a Flexibly Staffed Police Records Specialist Job Series
DATE: June 9, 2022
DISCUSSION (continued):
advanced levels within the series depending on the complexity of assignments and experience needed when vacancies exist. The revised Police Records Specialist series would contain the following classifications: Police Records Specialist, Senior Police Records Specialist, and Police Records Specialist Lead. If approved, the Senior Police Records Specialist and Police Record Specialist Lead would be added to the Salary Schedule for TEA Classifications (Attachment 1).
Appropriate advances in salary ranges have been calculated using external and internal compensation data and to ensure equity organizationally. The new classifications, if adopted by Council, would be effective July 10, 2022.
Since this is a Town Employees’ Association (TEA) represented classification, staff has met its obligation to meet and confer regarding the proposed classification and salary range changes.
CONCLUSION:
Staff is requesting the approval of an amendment to the classification plan to create a flexibly staffed series for the Police Records Specialist classification that would result in the addition of Senior Police Records Specialist and Police Records Specialist Lead to the plan. The Town’s Personnel Rules and Municipal Code require Council approval of classification plan amendments. The California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS), that provides the Town’s employee pension benefits, requires that any changes proposed to Town salary schedules are formally approved by a municipal agency governing body (Town Council).
FISCAL IMPACT:
If a vacancy occurs or the Department chooses to promote an existing staff member, the cost will be absorbed into the Department’s existing operating budget.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
This is not a project defined under CEQA, and no further action is required.

BACKGROUND:
On May 7, 2021, the West Valley cities (Town of Los Gatos, City of Monte Sereno, City of Saratoga, City of Cupertino, and City of Campbell) together with Santa Clara County Fire Department (SCCFD) submitted a State Assembly budget request for public funds to enhance the public safety and emergency resiliency of the West Valley cities in the event of wildfire, earthquake, and other humanmade and natural disasters.
PAGE 2 OF 3
SUBJECT: Cal OES Pass Through Grant Subaward for Public Safety and Emergency Resiliency
DATE: June 13, 2022
BACKGROUND (continued):
The request, in collaboration with Assemblymember Evan Low, was presented to the Assembly Budget Committee and was ultimately approved. Town of Los Gatos has been appointed by the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) to be the subrecipient of the funds totaling $7,000,000 and is responsible for distributing the funds to the subrecipient West Valley cities listed in Attachment 1
DISCUSSION:
The full funding of $7.0 million was received this fiscal year. Below is a summary of the requested amounts and the associated programming:
The Defensible Space Wildland Fire Specialist Program will help the Town of Los Gatos along with the Cities of Monte Sereno, Saratoga, and Cupertino implement a pilot defensible space Wildland Fire Specialist Program for our communities to be implemented and overseen by Santa Clara County Fire Department (SCCFD). The amount requested for this program is $2.0 million.
The City of Campbell requested funding for a Resilient Emergency and Police Department Operations Center (EOC/DOC) project. The total amount requested for this is $3.9 million and would help them fund for the design and construction of the new Emergency and Police Department Operations Center. The initial plan for this project was to be funded through an approved Measure O obligation fund in 2018. Due to significant revenue declines caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the projected Measure O bond proceeds were not met. With the help of this funding, the City can provide long-lasting and resilient benefit to the Campbell community and West Valley region.
Along with the projects previously mentioned, $1.0 million will be allocated to City of Cupertino. With this money, $500,000 will be appropriated towards a one-time Business Continuity and Resilience program and the other $500,000 will be appropriated for emergency coordination and communication enhancement in the Emergency Operations Center.
The remaining $100,000 will be allocated to City of Saratoga. With this allocation, the City will organize an incentive program that will encourage property owners to harden structures against fire in the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI). This program will prioritize older adults, people with disabilities, and individuals with economic hardships.

The Honorable Evan Low
California State Assembly
State Capitol, Room 4126
Sacramento, CA 95814
RE: Assembly Budget Request – West Valley Cities Public Safety and Emergency Resiliency Dear Assemblymember Low,
The West Valley Cities and our collaborating agency appreciate the overture to submit an Assembly Budget request. The Town of Los Gatos, City of Monte Sereno, City of Saratoga, City of Cupertino, City of Campbell, and the Santa Clara County Fire Department (SCCFD) respectfully submit the following request to enhance the public safety and emergency resiliency of the West Valley in the event of wildfire, earthquake, and other manmade and natural disasters.
While our communities have our own unique individual characteristics, we share many very real common threats. The magnitude of response required to effectively manage an earthquake, wildfire or other disasters will quickly overwhelm our individual communities and require a coordinated regional response. To that end, our collaborative budget request is for $7 million to increase wildfire preparedness, prepare our business community appropriately, and modernize our Emergency Operation and Police Department Operation Centers (EOC/DOC).
Los Gatos, Monte Sereno, Saratoga, and Cupertino all either encompass or abut Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) and Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones (Attachment 1). We have all made great strides individually to address the risk of wildfire in our communities, but collectively we can have a greater impact for our residents. As the map illustrates, wildfire knows no boundaries and a risk for one is a risk to all (Attachment 1). This funding will help to implement a pilot defensible space Wildland Fire Specialist Program for our communities to be implemented and overseen by Santa Clara County Fire Department (SCCFD). The City of Montecito established a similar program in 1994 and it is widely credited with sparing the city from the ravages of the 2017 Thomas Fire, now the seventh largest wildfire in California history. The request would also provide funding to provide economic incentives to modernize structures in the WUI to current Fire Code standards, such as upgrading wood shake roofs to fire resistant Class A materials.
In addition, to ensure an effective regional response in any emergency situation, all our communities need state-of-the-art effective Emergency Operation Centers and Police Department Operations Centers (EOC/DOC). This request will help West Valley cities achieve safe, modern, and technologically advanced EOCs and DOCs capable of facilitating regional joint emergency training and operation activities when mutual aid is needed.
And lastly, the pandemic clearly illustrated that many of our small to medium-sized businesses were ill prepared to respond to a disaster. Many businesses either know little, or never prioritize, effective emergency planning. This funding request would provide a one-time Business Continuity and Resilience program to provide resiliency improvements and technical assistance to businesses in emergency planning.
As disasters have plagued our state over the years, never has the importance of a collaborative regional approach to emergency preparedness and planning been more apparent. Our budget request would provide SCCFD with the funding to pilot a Wildland Fire Specialist Program, create incentives to harden structures in the WUI, enhance the effectiveness of our EOCs and DOCs to respond to emergencies, provide critical mutual aid, and help our business community better prepare for the eventual next disaster.
Even during these challenging budgetary times, there is nothing more important than safeguarding our residents and our communities. As such our West Valley Cities collaboration has chosen a selfless path to this budget request knowing that protecting one of our communities from the potential ravages of disasters protects all our communities.
Sincerely,

TOWN OF LOS GATOS
COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: 6/21/2022
ITEM NO: 14
DATE: June 10, 2022
TO: Mayor and Town Council
FROM: Laurel Prevetti, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Authorize the Town Manager to Execute a Five-Year Agreement with Tyler Technologies to Provide Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Software Implementation and Ongoing Support for the Town of Los Gatos for $1,147,328 plus a 10% contingency for a Total Agreement Amount Not to Exceed $1,262,061
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Council authorize the Town Manager to execute a Five-Year Agreement with Tyler Technologies to provide enterprise resource planning (ERP) software implementation and ongoing support for the Town of Los Gatos for $1,147,328 plus a 10% contingency for a total agreement amount not to exceed $1,262,061.
BACKGROUND:
The current ERP system was implemented in 2008 and has become outdated. Staff determined that a modern system was required to meet the demands for advanced functionalities, improved efficiencies, fiscal transparency, better customer service, and enhanced systems integration all in a single platform. Staff initially engaged with the current software provider for potential upgrade of the existing software. The current software provider CentralSquare (formerly Sungard, Pentamation) was not able to provide an update for the current system due to organizational restructuring from multiple acquisitions.
DISCUSSION:
The Town of Los Gatos issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) to solicit responses from qualified firms offering proven, integrated solutions to replace the Town’s current CentralSquare FinancePlus Enterprise Resource Planning system, specifically in the areas of Finance, Human Resources, Payroll, and Miscellaneous Billing.
PAGE 2 OF 2
SUBJECT: Authorize the Town Manager to Execute an Agreement with Tyler Technologies to Provide ERP Software Implementation and Ongoing Maintenance Services for the Town of Los Gatos with Tyler Technologies
DATE: June 21, 2022
DISCUSSION (continued):
The RFP was listed on the Town website and was sent to vendors who had reached out to staff prior to the release of the RFP. These companies included WorkDay, Oracle, Tyler Technologies, OpenGov, and CentralSquare.
The Town received only one proposal from Tyler Technologies. During the initial meetings with WorkDay and Oracle, both companies commented that their solution was geared towards significantly larger organizations. OpenGov only provided limited services and our current provider did not submit a proposal with its most current software package.
After the RFP submittal, Tyler Technologies provided a demonstration of their Tyler Munis system both to the executive management staff and to particular Town staff power users. The response to the RFP was reviewed by an inter-disciplinary Town team, evaluating the submittal based on enhanced reporting capabilities, streamlined process workflows, and self-service online services for residents, customers, and vendors. The reviewers also assessed the proposer’s demonstration of organizational, functional, and technical capabilities, as well as the experience, expertise, and qualifications necessary to provide a fully integrated and proven ERP solution to include both implementation and ongoing maintenance and support.
The proposed ERP system would include the implementation of the following functional areas. Financial Management
Human Capital Management
Executive Time and Attendance and Advanced Scheduling Business Licenses
The various modules for each functional area will be implemented through a phased approach spanning a two-year period as detailed in the Statement of Work (Attachment 1).
PAGE 3 OF 2
SUBJECT: Authorize the Town Manager to Execute an Agreement with Tyler Technologies to Provide ERP Software Implementation and Ongoing Maintenance Services for the Town of Los Gatos with Tyler Technologies
DATE: June 21, 2022
DISCUSSION (continued):
The proposed ERP system will be SaaS based solution and meets all the following project objectives:
Consolidate information, link processes and functions, and eliminate separate Departmental spreadsheets/Excel databases in favor of a single system that integrates the Town’s financial and non‐financial applications through a common database;
Streamline business processes to take advantage of best practices through automation, integration, and enhanced workflows;
Provide a user‐friendly and intuitive user interface to promote system use and productivity;
Eliminate the need for redundant data entry;
Eliminate the need for manual input when preparing the annual budget and financial statements;
Improve and/or provide necessary reports and reporting capabilities, and access to data through inquiry or drilldown capabilities; and
Provide interface capabilities with third‐party systems.
Tyler Technologies currently has over 2,000 customers nationwide and over 150 in California.
Forty former CentralSquare customers have migrated over successfully to Tyler’s Munis solution in California (Attachment 2). Staff also performed reference checks with other surrounding municipalities who currently utilize the Tyler Munis solution and received positive feedback. Based on staff’s overall assessment, it was decided to enter negotiations with Tyler Technologies for the draft contract.
It should be noted that during contract discussions, there was one area of disagreement between the parties. Tyler has proposed to indemnify the Town for claims “arising out of its negligence or willful misconduct.” Staff did ask Tyler for a more general indemnification for any personal injury or property damage claims arising out of its performance – regardless of whether or not Tyler was negligent or engaged in willful misconduct. Tyler declined to make that change, citing its needs to be consistent with other city contracts. While staff would have preferred the Town’s language, given the totality of the product staff is recommending that the Town accept Tyler’s proposed indemnification language.

If the Tyler Software does not perform as warranted, we will use all reasonable efforts, consistent with industry standards, to cure the Defect in accordance with the maintenance and support process set forth in Section C(9), below, the SLA and our then current Support Call Process.
6. SaaS Services.
6.1 Our SaaS Services are audited at least yearly in accordance with the AICPA’s Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements (“SSAE”) No. 18. We have attained, and will maintain, SOC 1 and SOC 2 compliance, or its equivalent, for so long as you are timely paying for SaaS Services. The scope of audit coverage varies for some Tyler Software solutions. Upon execution of a mutually agreeable Non-Disclosure Agreement (“NDA”), we will provide you with a
4 summary of our compliance report(s) or its equivalent. Every year thereafter, for so long as the NDA is in effect and in which you make a written request, we will provide that same information. If our SaaS Services are provided using a 3rd party data center, we will provide available compliance reports for that data center.
6.2 You will be hosted on shared hardware in a Tyler data center or in a third-party data center. In either event, databases containing your Data will be dedicated to you and inaccessible to our other customers.
6.3 Our Tyler data centers have fully-redundant telecommunications access, electrical power, and the required hardware to provide access to the Tyler Software in the event of a disaster or component failure. In the event of a data center failure, we reserve the right to employ our disaster recovery plan for resumption of the SaaS Services. In that event, we commit to a Recovery Point Objective (“RPO”) of 24 hours and a Recovery Time Objective (“RTO”) of 24 hours. RPO represents the maximum duration of time between the most recent recoverable copy of your hosted Data and subsequent data center failure. RTO represents the maximum duration of time following data center failure within which your access to the Tyler Software must be restored.
6.4 We conduct annual penetration testing of either the production network and/or web application to be performed. We will maintain industry standard intrusion detection and prevention systems to monitor malicious activity in the network and to log and block any such activity. We will provide you with a written or electronic record of the actions taken by us in the event that any unauthorized access to your database(s) is detected as a result of our security protocols. We will undertake an additional security audit, on terms and timing to be mutually agreed to by the parties, at your written request. You may not attempt to bypass or subvert security restrictions in the SaaS Services or environments related to the Tyler Software.
Unauthorized attempts to access files, passwords or other confidential information, and unauthorized vulnerability and penetration test scanning of our network and systems (hosted or otherwise) is prohibited without the prior written approval of our IT Security Officer.
6.5 We test our disaster recovery plan on an annual basis. Our standard test is not client-specific.
Should you request a client-specific disaster recovery test, we will work with you to schedule and execute such a test on a mutually agreeable schedule. At your written request, we will provide test results to you within a commercially reasonable timeframe after receipt of the request.
6.6 We will be responsible for importing back-up and verifying that you can log-in. You will be responsible for running reports and testing critical processes to verify the returned Data.
6.7 We provide secure Data transmission paths between each of your workstations and our servers.
6.8 Tyler data centers are accessible only by authorized personnel with a unique key entry. All other visitors to Tyler data centers must be signed in and accompanied by authorized personnel.
Entry attempts to the data center are regularly audited by internal staff and external auditors to ensure no unauthorized access.
6.9 Where applicable with respect to our applications that take or process card payment data, we
5 are responsible for the security of cardholder data that we possess, including functions relating to storing, processing, and transmitting of the cardholder data and affirm that, as of the Effective Date, we comply with applicable requirements to be considered PCI DSS compliant and have performed the necessary steps to validate compliance with the PCI DSS. We agree to supply the current status of our PCI DSS compliance program in the form of an official Attestation of Compliance, which can be found at https://www.tylertech.com/aboutus/compliance, and in the event of any change in our status, will comply with applicable notice requirements.
SECTION C – PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
1. Professional Services. We will provide you the various implementation-related services itemized in the Investment Summary and described in the Statement of Work. After the Effective Date, and in coordination with the Project kickoff activities identified in the Statement of Work, we will make our project staffing assignments. Upon request, Tyler will provide you with project resumes that will demonstrate relevant experience with past projects for project team members that are allocated for onsite services. You agree that those resumes are for your information and planning purposes only.
Once our key project team members are assembled and your counterparts have been identified, both parties agree that, except for reasons outside of their control, the parties will not remove staff and personnel from their assigned project roles without reasonable advance notice and good cause, and that they will work together to mitigate project impacts after any such removal. The parties will also work together to manage the project impact resulting from the temporary unavailability of project staff from either party. We agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain consistency of project personnel and commit to replacement resources having sufficient project knowledge, without additional cost to you, in order to render services in accordance with contractual requirements. If any staff turnover occurs on the Tyler project team, Client will not be responsible for any additional costs related to the aforesaid turnover.
In the event Tyler personnel are not providing services consistent with our services warranty or are otherwise negatively impacting the project, you will notify us of that deficiency and give us a reasonable opportunity to address the issue(s). In the event the deficiency persists, we will replace that project member, upon written request and demonstration of good cause. Replacement staff will be assigned following the same processes set forth above and shall have reasonably sufficient experience and project knowledge to fulfill applicable obligations under the Agreement. The foregoing notwithstanding, if the replacement personnel is providing services onsite, you shall remain liable for travel expenses incurred by such personnel, to be invoiced in accordance with the Business Travel Policy.
2. Professional Services Fees. You agree to pay us the professional services fees in the amounts set forth in the Investment Summary. Those amounts are payable in accordance with our Invoicing and Payment Policy. You acknowledge that the fees stated in the Investment Summary are good-faith estimates of the amount of time and materials required for your implementation. We will bill you the actual fees incurred based on the in-scope services provided to you. Any discrepancies in the total values set forth in the Investment Summary will be resolved by multiplying the applicable hourly rate by the quoted hours.
6 3. Additional Services. The Investment Summary contains, and the Statement of Work describes, the scope of services and related costs (including programming and/or interface estimates) required for the project based on our understanding of the specifications you supplied. If additional work is required, or if you use or request additional services, we will provide you with an addendum or change order, as applicable, outlining the costs for the additional work. The price quotes in the addendum or change order will be valid for thirty (30) days from the date of the quote.
4. Cancellation. If travel is required, we will make all reasonable efforts to schedule travel for our personnel, including arranging travel reservations, at least two (2) weeks in advance of commitments. Therefore, if you cancel services less than two (2) weeks in advance (other than for Force Majeure or breach by us), you will be liable for all (a) non-refundable expenses incurred by us on your behalf, and (b) daily fees associated with cancelled professional services if we are unable to reassign our personnel. We will make all reasonable efforts to reassign personnel in the event you cancel within two (2) weeks of scheduled commitments.
5. Services Warranty. We will perform the services in a professional, workmanlike manner, consistent with industry standards. In the event we provide services that do not conform to this warranty, we will re-perform such services at no additional cost to you.
6. Site Access and Requirements. At no cost to us, you agree to provide us with full and free access to your personnel, facilities, and equipment as may be reasonably necessary for us to provide implementation services, subject to any reasonable security protocols or other written policies provided to us as of the Effective Date, and thereafter as mutually agreed to by you and us.
7. Background Checks. For at least the past twelve (12) years, all of our employees have undergone criminal background checks prior to hire. All employees sign our confidentiality agreement and security policies.
8. Client Assistance. You acknowledge that the implementation of the Tyler Software is a cooperative process requiring the time and resources of your personnel. You agree to use all reasonable efforts to cooperate with and assist us as may be reasonably required to meet the agreed upon project deadlines and other milestones for implementation. This cooperation includes at least working with us to schedule the implementation-related services outlined in this Agreement. We will not be liable for failure to meet any deadlines and milestones when such failure is due to Force Majeure or to the failure by your personnel to provide such cooperation and assistance (either through action or omission).
9. Maintenance and Support. For so long as you timely pay your SaaS Fees according to the Invoicing and Payment Policy, then in addition to the terms set forth in the SLA and the Support Call Process, we will:
9.1 perform our maintenance and support obligations in a professional, good, and workmanlike manner, consistent with industry standards, to resolve Defects in the Tyler Software (subject to any applicable release life cycle policy);
9.2 provide support during our established support hours;
9.3 maintain personnel that are sufficiently trained to be familiar with the Tyler Software and Third
7 Party Software, if any, in order to provide maintenance and support services;
9.4 make available to you all releases to the Tyler Software (including updates and enhancements) that we make generally available without additional charge to customers who have a maintenance and support agreement in effect; and
9.5 provide non-Defect resolution support of prior releases of the Tyler Software in accordance with any applicable release life cycle policy.
We will use all reasonable efforts to perform support services remotely. Currently, we use a third-party secure unattended connectivity tool called Bomgar, as well as GotoAssist by Citrix. Therefore, you agree to maintain a high-speed internet connection capable of connecting us to your PCs and server(s). You agree to provide us with a login account and local administrative privileges as we may reasonably require to perform remote services. We will, at our option, use the secure connection to assist with proper diagnosis and resolution, subject to any reasonably applicable security protocols. If we cannot resolve a support issue remotely, we may be required to provide onsite services. In such event, we will be responsible for our travel expenses, unless it is determined that the reason onsite support was required was a reason outside our control. Either way, you agree to provide us with full and free access to the Tyler Software, working space, adequate facilities within a reasonable distance from the equipment, and use of machines, attachments, features, or other equipment reasonably necessary for us to provide the maintenance and support services, all at no charge to us. We strongly recommend that you also maintain your VPN for backup connectivity purposes.
For the avoidance of doubt, SaaS Fees do not include the following services: (a) onsite support (unless Tyler cannot remotely correct a Defect in the Tyler Software, as set forth above); (b) application design; (c) other consulting services; or (d) support outside our normal business hours as listed in our thencurrent Support Call Process. Requested services such as those outlined in this section will be billed to you on a time and materials basis at our then current rates. You must request those services with at least one (1) weeks’ advance notice.
SECTION D – THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS
1. Third Party Hardware. We will sell, deliver, and install onsite the Third Party Hardware, if you have purchased any, for the price set forth in the Investment Summary. Those amounts are payable in accordance with our Invoicing and Payment Policy.

SECTION E - INVOICING AND PAYMENT; INVOICE DISPUTES
1. Invoicing and Payment. We will invoice you the SaaS Fees and fees for other professional services in the Investment Summary per our Invoicing and Payment Policy, subject to Section E(2).
2. Invoice Disputes. If you believe any delivered software or service does not conform to the warranties in this Agreement, you will provide us with written notice within thirty (30) days of your receipt of the applicable invoice. The written notice must contain reasonable detail of the issues you contend are in dispute so that we can confirm the issue and respond to your notice with either a justification of the invoice, an adjustment to the invoice, or a proposal addressing the issues presented in your notice. We will work with you as may be necessary to develop an action plan that outlines reasonable steps to be taken by each of us to resolve any issues presented in your notice.
You may withhold payment of the amount(s) actually in dispute, and only those amounts, until we complete the action items outlined in the plan. If we are unable to complete the action items outlined in the action plan because of your failure to complete the items agreed to be done by you, then you will remit full payment of the invoice. We reserve the right to suspend delivery of all SaaS Services, including maintenance and support services, if you fail to pay an invoice not disputed as described above within fifteen (15) days of notice of our intent to do so.
SECTION F – TERM AND TERMINATION
1. Term. The initial term of this Agreement is five (5) years, commencing on the first day of the first month following the Effective Date, unless earlier terminated as set forth below.

2.1 Failure to Pay SaaS Fees. You acknowledge that continued access to the SaaS Services is contingent upon your timely payment of SaaS Fees.

Exhibit B
Schedule 1
1 Exhibit B
Schedule 1
Business Travel Policy
1. Air Travel
A. Reservations & Tickets
The Travel Management Company (TMC) used by Tyler will provide an employee with a direct flight within two hours before or after the requested departure time, assuming that flight does not add more than three hours to the employee’s total trip duration and the fare is within $100 (each way) of the lowest logical fare. If a net savings of $200 or more (each way) is possible through a connecting flight that is within two hours before or after the requested departure time and that does not add more than three hours to the employee’s total trip duration, the connecting flight should be accepted.
Employees are encouraged to make advanced reservations to take full advantage of discount opportunities. Employees should use all reasonable efforts to make travel arrangements at least two (2) weeks in advance of commitments. A seven (7) day advance booking requirement is mandatory. When booking less than seven (7) days in advance, management approval will be required.
Except in the case of international travel where a segment of continuous air travel is six (6) or more consecutive hours in length, only economy or coach class seating is reimbursable. Employees shall not be reimbursed for “Basic Economy Fares” because these fares are non-refundable and have many restrictions that outweigh the cost-savings.
B. Baggage Fees
Reimbursement of personal baggage charges are based on trip duration as follows:
• Up to five (5) days = one (1) checked bag
• Six (6) or more days = two (2) checked bags
Baggage fees for sports equipment are not reimbursable.
Exhibit B
Schedule 1
2 2. Ground Transportation
A. Private Automobile
Mileage Allowance – Business use of an employee’s private automobile will be reimbursed at the current IRS allowable rate, plus out of pocket costs for tolls and parking. Mileage will be calculated by using the employee's office as the starting and ending point, in compliance with IRS regulations.
Employees who have been designated a home office should calculate miles from their home.
B. Rental Car
Employees are authorized to rent cars only in conjunction with air travel when cost, convenience, and the specific situation reasonably require their use. When renting a car for Tyler business, employees should select a “mid-size” or “intermediate” car. “Full” size cars may be rented when three or more employees are traveling together. Tyler carries leased vehicle coverage for business car rentals; except for employees traveling to Alaska and internationally (excluding Canada), additional insurance on the rental agreement should be declined.
C. Public Transportation
Taxi or airport limousine services may be considered when traveling in and around cities or to and from airports when less expensive means of transportation are unavailable or impractical. The actual fare plus a reasonable tip (15-18%) are reimbursable. In the case of a free hotel shuttle to the airport, tips are included in the per diem rates and will not be reimbursed separately.
D. Parking & Tolls
When parking at the airport, employees must use longer term parking areas that are measured in days as opposed to hours. Park and fly options located near some airports may also be used. For extended trips that would result in excessive parking charges, public transportation to/from the airport should be considered. Tolls will be reimbursed when receipts are presented.
3. Lodging
Tyler’s TMC will select hotel chains that are well established, reasonable in price, and conveniently located in relation to the traveler's work assignment. Typical hotel chains include Courtyard, Fairfield Inn, Hampton Inn, and Holiday Inn Express. If the employee has a discount rate with a local hotel, the hotel reservation should note that discount and the employee should confirm the lower rate with the hotel upon arrival. Employee memberships in travel clubs such as AAA should be noted in their travel profiles so that the employee can take advantage of any lower club rates.
“No shows” or cancellation fees are not reimbursable if the employee does not comply with the hotel’s cancellation policy.
Tips for maids and other hotel staff are included in the per diem rate and are not reimbursed separately.
Exhibit B
Schedule 1
3 Employees are not authorized to reserve non-traditional short-term lodging, such as Airbnb, VRBO, and HomeAway. Employees who elect to make such reservations shall not be reimbursed.
4. Meals and Incidental Expenses
Employee meals and incidental expenses while on travel status within the continental U.S. are in accordance with the federal per diem rates published by the General Services Administration.
Incidental expenses include tips to maids, hotel staff, and shuttle drivers and other minor travel expenses. Per diem rates are available at www.gsa.gov/perdiem.
Per diem for Alaska, Hawaii, U.S. protectorates and international destinations are provided separately by the Department of State and will be determined as required.
A. Overnight Travel
For each full day of travel, all three meals are reimbursable. Per diems on the first and last day of a trip are governed as set forth below.
Departure Day
Depart before 12:00 noon Lunch and dinner
Depart after 12:00 noon
Return Day
Dinner
Return before 12:00 noon Breakfast
Return between 12:00 noon & 7:00 p.m. Breakfast and lunch Return after 7:00 p.m.* Breakfast, lunch and dinner
*7:00 p.m. is defined as direct travel time and does not include time taken to stop for dinner.
The reimbursement rates for individual meals are calculated as a percentage of the full day per diem as follows:
Breakfast 15%

Support Call Process
Support Channels
Tyler Technologies, Inc. provides the following channels of software support for authorized users*:
(1) On-line submission (portal) – for less urgent and functionality-based questions, users may create support incidents through the Tyler Customer Portal available at the Tyler Technologies website.
A built-in Answer Panel provides users with resolutions to most “how-to” and configurationbased questions through a simplified search interface with machine learning, potentially eliminating the need to submit the support case.
(2) Email – for less urgent situations, users may submit emails directly to the software support group.
(3) Telephone – for urgent or complex questions, users receive toll-free, telephone software support.
* Channel availability may be limited for certain applications.
Support Resources
A number of additional resources are available to provide a comprehensive and complete support experience:
(1) Tyler Website – www.tylertech.com – for accessing client tools, documentation, and other information including support contact information.
(2) Tyler Search -a knowledge based search engine that lets you search multiple sources simultaneously to find the answers you need, 24x7.
(3) Tyler Community –provides a venue for all Tyler clients with current maintenance agreements to collaborate with one another, share best practices and resources, and access documentation. (4) Tyler University – online training courses on Tyler products.
Support Availability
Tyler Technologies support is available during the local business hours of 8 AM to 5 PM (Monday – Friday) across four US time zones (Pacific, Mountain, Central and Eastern). Tyler’s holiday schedule is outlined below. There will be no support coverage on these days.
New Year’s Day Labor Day
Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Thanksgiving Day
Memorial Day Day after Thanksgiving
Independence Day Christmas Day
For support teams that provide after-hours service, we will provide you with procedures for contacting support staff after normal business hours for reporting Priority Level 1 Defects only. Upon receipt of
Exhibit C
Schedule 1
2 such a Defect notification, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to meet the resolution targets set forth below.
We will also make commercially reasonable efforts to be available for one pre-scheduled Saturday of each month to assist your IT staff with applying patches and release upgrades, as well as consulting with them on server maintenance and configuration of the Tyler Software environment.
Incident Handling
Incident Tracking
Every support incident is logged into Tyler’s Customer Relationship Management System and given a unique case number. This system tracks the history of each incident. The case number is used to track and reference open issues when clients contact support. Clients may track incidents, using the case number, through Tyler’s Customer Portal or by calling software support directly.
Incident Priority
Each incident is assigned a priority level, which corresponds to the Client’s needs. Tyler and the Client will reasonably set the priority of the incident per the chart below. This chart is not intended to address every type of support incident, and certain “characteristics” may or may not apply depending on whether the Tyler software has been deployed on customer infrastructure or the Tyler cloud. The goal is to help guide the Client towards clearly understanding and communicating the importance of the issue and to describe generally expected response and resolution targets in the production environment only.
References to a “confirmed support incident” mean that Tyler and the Client have successfully validated the reported Defect/support incident.
Priority
Level Characteristics of Support Incident Resolution Targets* 1 Critical

*Response and Resolution Targets may differ by product or business need Incident Escalation
If Tyler is unable to resolve any priority level 1 or 2 defect as listed above or the priority of an issue has elevated since initiation, you may escalate the incident to the appropriate resource, as outlined by each product support team. The corresponding resource will meet with you and any Tyler staff to establish a mutually agreeable plan for addressing the defect.
Remote Support Tool
Some support calls may require further analysis of the Client’s database, processes or setup to diagnose a problem or to assist with a question. Tyler will, at its discretion, use an industry-standard remote support tool. Tyler’s support team must have the ability to quickly connect to the Client’s system and view the site’s setup, diagnose problems, or assist with screen navigation. More information about the remote support tool Tyler uses is available upon request.

Part 1: Executive Summary
Project Overview
Introduction
Tyler Technologies (“Tyler”) is the largest and most established provider of integrated software and technology services focused solely on the public sector. Tyler’s end-to-end solutions empower public sector entities including local, state, provincial and federal government, to operate more efficiently and connect more transparently with their constituents and with each other. By connecting data and processes across disparate systems, Tyler’s solutions transform how clients gain actionable insights that solve problems in their communities.
Project Goals
This Statement of Work (“SOW”) documents the methodology, implementation stages, activities, and roles and responsibilities, and project scope listed in the Investment Summary of the Agreement between Tyler and the Los Gatos (collectively the “Project”).
The overall goals of the project 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
Methodology
This is accomplished by the Los Gatos and Tyler working as a partnership and Tyler utilizing its depth of implementation experience. While each Project is unique, all will follow Tyler’s six-stage methodology. Each of the six stages is comprised of multiple work packages, and each work package includes a narrative description, objectives, tasks, inputs, outputs/deliverables, assumptions, and a responsibility matrix.
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, timeline controls, effective communications, and quality standards. Clearly defined, the project methodology repeats consistently across Phases, and is scaled to meet the Los Gatos’s complexity and organizational needs.
Exhibit E
Tow of Los Gatos
Tyler Technologies, Inc. Page | 2
The methodology adapts to both single-phase and multiple-phase projects.
To achieve Project success, it is imperative that both the Los Gatos and Tyler commit to including the necessary leadership and governance. During each stage of the Project, it is expected that the Los Gatos and Tyler Project teams work collaboratively to complete tasks. An underlying principle of Tyler’s Implementation process is to employ an iterative model where the Los Gatos’s business processes are assessed, configured, validated, and refined cyclically in line with the project budget. This approach is used in multiple stages and work packages as illustrated in the graphic below.
The delivery approach is systematic, which reduces variability and mitigates risks to ensure 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.
Exhibit E
Tow of Los Gatos
Tyler Technologies, Inc. Page | 3
Part 2: Project Foundation
Project Governance
Project governance is the management framework within which Project decisions are made. The role of Project governance is to provide a decision-making approach that is logical, robust, and repeatable. This allows organizations to have a structured approach for conducting its daily business in addition to project related activities.
This section outlines the resources required to meet the business needs, objectives, and priorities for the Project, communicate the goals to other Project participants, and provide support and guidance to accomplish these goals. Project governance defines the structure for escalation of issues and risks, Change Control review and authority, and Organizational Change Management activities. Throughout the Statement of Work Tyler has provided RACI Matrices for activities to be completed throughout the implementation which will further outline responsibilities of different roles in each stage. Further refinement of the governance structure, related processes, and specific roles and responsibilities occurs during the Initiate & Plan Stage.
The chart below illustrates an overall team perspective where Tyler and the Los Gatos collaborate to resolve Project challenges according to defined escalation paths. If project managers do not possess authority to determine a solution, resolve an issue, or mitigate a risk, Tyler implementation management and the Los Gatos Steering Committee become the escalation points to triage responses prior to escalation to the Los Gatos and Tyler executive sponsors. As part of the escalation process, each Project governance tier presents recommendations and supporting information to facilitate knowledge transfer and issue resolution. The Los Gatos and Tyler executive sponsors serve as the final escalation point.
Exhibit E
Tow of Los Gatos
Tyler Technologies, Inc. Page | 4
Project Scope Control
Managing Scope and Project Change
Project Management governance principles contend that there are three connected constraints on a Project:
budget, timeline, and scope. These constraints, known as the “triple constraints” or project management triangle, define budget in terms of financial cost, labor costs, and other resource costs. Scope is defined as the work performed to deliver a product, service or result with the specified features and functions, while time is simply defined as the schedule. The Triple Constraint theory states that if you change one side of the triangle, the other two sides must be correspondingly adjusted. For example, if the scope of the Project is increased, cost and time to complete will also need to increase. The Project and executive teams will need to remain cognizant of these constraints when making impactful decisions to the Project. A simple illustration of this triangle is included here, showing the connection of each item and their relational impact to the overall Scope.
A pillar of any successful project is the ability to properly manage scope while allowing the appropriate level of flexibility to incorporate approved changes. Scope and changes within the project will be managed using the change control process outlined in the following section.
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 to produce optimal results for stakeholders.
Changes to contractual requirements will follow the change control process specified in the final contract, and as described below.
Change Request Management
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. While such changes may result in additional costs and delays relative to the schedule, some changes may result in less cost to the Los Gatos; for example, the Los Gatos may decide it no longer needs a deliverable originally defined in the Project. The Change Request will include the following information:
Exhibit E
Tow of Los Gatos
Tyler Technologies, Inc. Page | 5
The nature of the change.
A good faith estimate of the additional cost or associated savings to the Los Gatos, if any. The timetable for implementing the change.
The effect on and/or risk to the schedule, resource needs or resource responsibilities.
The Los Gatos will use its good faith efforts to either approve or disapprove any Change Request within ten (10) Business Days (or other period as mutually agreeable between Tyler and the Los Gatos). Any changes to the Project scope, budget, or timeline must be documented and approved in writing using a Change Request form. These changes constitute a formal amendment to the Statement of Work and will supersede any conflicting term in the Statement of Work.
Exhibit E
Tow of Los Gatos
Tyler Technologies, Inc. Page | 6
Acceptance Process
The implementation of a Project involves many decisions to be made throughout its lifecycle. Decisions will vary from higher level strategy decisions to smaller, detailed Project level decisions. It is critical to the success of the Project that each Los Gatos office or department designates specific individuals for making decisions on behalf of their offices or departments.
Both Tyler and the Los Gatos will identify representative project managers. These individuals will represent the interests of all stakeholders and serve as the primary contacts between the two organizations.
The coordination of gaining Los Gatos feedback and approval on Project deliverables will be critical to the success of the Project. The Los Gatos project manager will strive to gain deliverable and decision approvals from all authorized Los Gatos representatives. Given that the designated decision-maker for each department may not always be available, there must be a designated proxy for each decision point in the Project.
Assignment of each proxy will be the responsibility of the leadership from each Los Gatos department. The proxies will be named individuals that have the authorization to make decisions on behalf of their department.
The following process will be used for accepting Deliverables and Control Points:
The Los Gatos shall have five (5) business days from the date of delivery, or as otherwise mutually agreed upon by the parties in writing, to accept each Deliverable or Control Point. If the Los Gatos does not provide acceptance or acknowledgement within five (5) business days, or the otherwise agreed upon timeframe, not to be unreasonably withheld, Tyler deems the Deliverable or Control Point as accepted.
If the Los Gatos does not agree the Deliverable or Control Point meets requirements, the Los Gatos shall notify Tyler project manager(s), in writing, with reasoning within five (5) business days, or the otherwise agreed-upon timeframe, not to be unreasonably withheld, of receipt of the Deliverable. Tyler shall address any deficiencies and redeliver the Deliverable or Control Point. The Los Gatos shall then have two (2) business days from receipt of the redelivered Deliverable or Control Point to accept or again submit written notification of reasons for rejecting the milestone. If the Los Gatos does not provide acceptance within two (2) business days, or the otherwise agreed upon timeframe, not to be unreasonably withheld, Tyler deems the Deliverable or Control Point as accepted.
Roles and Responsibilities
The following defines the roles and responsibilities of each Project resource for the Los Gatos and Tyler. Roles and responsibilities may not follow the organizational chart or position descriptions at the Los Gatos, but are roles defined within the Project. It is common for individual resources on both the Tyler and Los Gatos project teams to fill multiple roles. Similarly, it is common for some roles to be filled by multiple people.
Tyler Roles & Responsibilities
Tyler assigns a project manager prior to the start of each Phase of the Project (some Projects may only be one Phase in duration). Additional Tyler resources are assigned as the schedule develops and as needs arise.
