with deliberate ignorance of the false information or in reckless disregard of the truth or falsity of
information. If City seeks to recover penalties pursuant to the False Claims Act, it is entitled to
recover its litigation costs, including attorney's fees. Contractor acknowledges that the filing of a
false claim may subject Contractor to an administrative debarment proceeding as the result of

a period of up to five (5) years. Contractor acknowledges debarment by another jurisdiction is
grounds for City to terminate this Agreement.

Project Approach
PCG is proud to offer to its clients our PCG AcquirelT™ Methodology which is housed within our Strategy,
Architecture, Planning, and Procurement Center of Excellence (CoE). AcquirelT is a well-tested, repeatable
methodology that provides us with a roadmap to help us navigate through the IT procurement process. This
methodology both drives and guides the delivery of strategic procurement services through a project's life
cycle from start to finish, resulting in objective, evidence-based procurements. PCG's AcquirelT Framework
honors and supports the premise that an organization's IT investments should be driven by its business
strategies while being supported by and supportive of its enterprise architecture infrastructure.
We have used this methodology to support multiple engagements and continue to improve it with lessons
learned from each engagement. In addition to providing a procurement roadmap, AcquirelT has an
extensive toolkit and templates that have been designed specifically for procurement projects. PCG's ability
to rely on the AcquirelT framework means little to no time will be spent "reinventing the wheel" because the
necessary meeting facilitation tools and document templates will be immediately accessible. PCG will
ensure the project stays on-course, on schedule and within budget, by using the AcquirelT procurement
phases in conjunction with our Project Management Methodology (PMM).
The PCG Team will work diligently to develop a collaborative relationship that stresses objectivity, balance,
and support. We will provide focus, support, advice, leadership, and pro-active communication to ensure
success in providing the City the procurement assistance services that are required to furnish only high-
quality deliverables delivered on a timely basis. Our personal guiding principles include:
• Protect the stakeholder's interests
• Foster excellent relations by engaging early and often
• Plan activities and resource requirements and commitments carefully
• Take a practical approach
• Follow through to resolution
• Be consistent
• Foster project management maturity
• Be critical and objective
• Minimize disruption to project personnel
Working closely with our clients, PCG's goals have always focused on the success of the client's goals and
objectives. We have always worked hard to ensure a mutual beneficial relationship is established and
maintained throughout our engagement and beyond in order to achieve the desired outcomes despite
possible changes in funding, setbacks, and delays which one or the other is usually challenged. This is
evident in our procurement assistance projects.
Additionally, defining and regularly measuring our progress against a set of critical success factors will
guide us to successfully build a partnership, a highly functioning team that will complete what is needed to
deliver a competitive procurement for the City. PCG will not only provide staff who are qualified and
experienced resources; we will:
13 City Attorney Approved Version 6/12/18
Sept. 10, 2019 Item #2 Page 78 of 113
• Foster a functional relationship approach -PCG treats our clients as partners. We view our
partnership with the City as truly collaborative, where we are both mutually invested in not only the
successful completion of a competitive procurement but also in the successful implementation of a
procured solution that will support the City for years to come.
• Develop and maintain trust -Trust is key to any relationship, and PCG will work with the City to
build and maintain trust. PCG will demonstrate confidence through our team members by
continuously following through with the services we provide the City. It is important to PCG that we
not only build trust to the City team but also become a trusted advisor to the City. PCG has selected
staff that are not only experts in their industry but also trusted advisors to their clients.
• Demonstrate follow-through -PCG believes that follow-through is a critical success factor to
fostering a functional relationship. PCG encourages its staff to be in close contact with clients and
to demonstrate their ability to deliver on our commitments.
• Provide continuity of staff -PCG strives to maintain staff continuity. Consistent, long-term
staffing of PCG resources will help to ensure success of relationship management.

Figure 2. PCG's AcquirelT7"' Phases and Primary Tasks
The AcquirelT phases -Strategy and Solicitation Development, Vendor Qualification and Evaluation, and
Vendor Selection -are each briefly described below. PCG believes it is this process complemented by the
activities and deliverables defined by the City that will support the successful completion of a competitive
procurement. These include:
Strategy and Solicitation Development -Planning is key to any successful procurement. The purpose
of this phase is to clarify the scope, goals, and objectives of the IT initiative (in this case, a new Project
Portfolio Management System}, determine the appropriate sourcing and procurement approaches (what's
the best way to buy it), and develop the solicitation documents and procedures needed to conduct a
successful procurement (how to buy it).
14 City Attorney Approved Version 6/12/18
Sept. 10, 2019 Item #2 Page 79 of 113
The eight (8) steps that PCG will perform in this phase include:
1. Validate Project Scope: Being clear on the problems to be solved and objectives to be met are
"must haves" in any major procurement. While this may seem obvious to the casual observer,
individual perceptions may vary widely, or even conflict, across multiple stakeholder groups.
Agreeing on the project scope and on the relative significance of problems that the organization
faces not only results in better solicitations but even more importantly, vendor proposals that are
more responsive to the client's critical needs.
2. Document Functional Requirements: Requirements definition is one of the most critical steps in
PCG's AcquirelT approach. The requirements development process involves many layers of
specification to support the eventual design and development of a technical solution. During the
procurement process, it starts with well-documented business needs that describe the top-level
needs that a solution must meet. These high-level statements (e.g., "The system must support
timely payment of invoices.") help to frame the project scope and lay the foundation for other project
activities such as our analysis of solutions in the marketplace and, of course, the eventual
development of the solicitation document.
3. Document Technical Requirements: While the business needs inform the development of
functional requirements, it is the functional requirements that further refine those business needs
into technical requirements. During this stage of the procurement process, technical requirements
are built to define a specific technical approach (e.g., in compliance with federal and state
requirements) yet not dictate the technical design, and be sufficiently detailed for prospective
vendors to develop project budgets and define resources needed to implement the solution.
4. Analyze the Marketplace: Understanding the marketplace is critical to a successful procurement.
AcquirelT is a knowledge-based approach to procurement that will incorporate the research and
discovery of pre-built software or Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) software that can be
purchased, leased or licensed and helps inform clients about solutions that exist in the marketplace
as well as educates them about functionalities that are available.
5. Develop the Strategy: Procurement strategy is a key factor in determining the most appropriate
procurement method given the complexity and monetary value of the required solution/services,
market availability, and the organization's capacity to support the eventual solution in addition to
putting its procurement strategy in place.
6. Develop the Evaluation Strategy: The evaluation strategy considers which areas should be the
focus of evaluation (i.e., evaluation criteria) as well as weighting and scoring factors. Decisions
made during this step will directly impact the development of the solicitation and evaluation
documentation. The Evaluation Plan and supporting tools (e.g., score sheets, etc.) will provide a
road map for analyzing vendor bid responses and making a final determination consistent with the
processes and procedures outlined within the solicitation document and should be completed
before the procurement is released.
7. Create the Solicitation Document: In this step, PCG assembles the complete solicitation
document based on information gathered in the previous steps. A framework or outline for the
solicitation document (based on the client's specific requirements and regulations) is built.
8. Create the Detailed Evaluation Plan: With the evaluation strategy in place and the solicitation
done, the next step is to develop the mechanics for reviewing vendor responses. This is done
through the development of the Evaluation Plan. Decisions made during the procurement approach
and evaluation strategy step, such as determining the necessity of a pre-qualification proposal and
the selection of the Evaluation Committee, are now detailed out.
15 City Attorney Approved Version 6/12/18
Sept. 10, 2019 Item #2 Page 80 of 113
The Evaluation Toolkit (ET) will be drafted in this task and will provide a roadmap for analyzing
vendor bid responses and making a final determination consistent with the processes, procedures
and evaluation criteria outlined within the procurement documents. The ET will include the
procedures, processes, protocols, and tools necessary to guide the evaluation process and
establish the basis for contract award. The procedures will include worksheets to aid the evaluation
team in examining and scoring vendor offers. Meetings between the PCG Team and the City's
Project Team will be needed during this task to consider the details of the scoring methodology that
had been previously outlined during the Procurement and Evaluation Strategy sessions.
Vendor Qualification and Evaluation -The procurement document release initiates the selection
process. Decisions made during the procurement and evaluation strategy steps, such as the timing/duration
of key activities, will be implemented during the procurement/selection process. The PCG Team will assist
the City with a variety of procurement activities leading to the successful contract award.
The goal and purpose of the vendor qualification is to determine which vendors should progress through
the selection process. Once vendors have been qualified, the evaluation committee may select a short list
that are highly acceptable candidates and could successfully complete the project. These vendors will then
participate in the Vendor Selection Phase which should include at least one (1) site visit and at least one
(1) finalist interview. The five (5) steps that PCG will perform in this phase include:
1. Release Solicitation: The solicitation has been developed and is released for vendor
consideration. Let the Games begin!
2. Conduct Vendor Conference: Making sure that vendors are clear about the client's business
needs, technical environment, and requirements included in the solicitation document goes a long
way toward ensuring that proposals are on target and that they can be evaluated in a consistent
fashion.
3. Assist with Vendor Q & A: Sufficient time should be given potential bidders to ask questions to
clarify their understanding of the procurement document. PCG will assist the City Project Team to
write informative, unambiguous responses to allow vendors to submit proposals that most closely
meet the City's requirements.
4. Receive and Review Proposals: Interested vendors submit their proposals according to the
proposal schedule at a specific time I place, and the proposals are entered into review. For all
proposals passing the administrative review process, PCG will facilitate the formal evaluation
process, working with a City team of administrators and subject matter experts to evaluate the
proposals in an impartial and consistent manner. The review team will use the factors identified in
the Evaluation Strategy and the tools in the Evaluation Toolkit to systematically and thoroughly
review and score the proposals. PCG will participate in review discussions with the team, but will
not be scoring. They will also assist the evaluation team if there are technical questions.
5. Conduct Corporate, and Key Personnel Reference Checks: Validating the past performance of
a vendor is critical. In large IT projects, you will be working alongside your chosen vendor for many
months, and in some instances, years. PCG will assist the City in conducting reference checks on
the top scoring proposals, using a structured interview process.
16 City Attorney Approved Version 6/12/18
Sept. 10, 2019 Item #2 Page 81 of 113
Vendor Selection -The goal and purpose of this step is first to recommend, and then to select the
preferred vendor. This step is designed to distinguish between multiple acceptable vendors that have
shown, during the prior step, they meet requirements at a reasonable cost. Vendor selection usually
includes at least one (1) customer site visit and at least one (1) finalist interview. The four (4) steps that
PCG will perform in this phase include:
1. Conduct Vendor Demonstrations: Seeing a proposed solution in play can be key to the
evaluation process. Demonstrations and onsite visits provide insight into real-world applications of
a proposed solution and help the client to discern the differences between proposed solutions in
environments that may or may not be like their own.
2. Conduct Finalist lnterview(s) and Recommend Selected Vendor: This represents the final step
in the vendor selection process, and with the due diligence of everyone involved, the recommended
vendor is selected.
3. Obtain Project Steering Committee and Executive Management Approval: Once the
Evaluation Committee has made its recommended selection, approval is required from the Steering
Committee (or similar governing body) and executive-level management as necessary.
4. Assist with Contract Negotiations: As appropriate, PCG will assist the client with its contract
negotiation discussions to ensure that the City's best interests are protected and that the
appropriate contract controls are in place. The PCG Team will work with the City Team in the final
activities required to bring the selected vendor on board, through finalizing and confirming the
selected vendor's Statement of Work, Project Plans, Cost Agreements for software services,
Software License agreements, Warranty and Support agreements, Payment Schedule and
Interface Control documentation, along with any additional escrow agreements which are required
by the City contracting processes.
Within PCG's AcquirelT methodology, each of these steps are further defined to include the objective,
anticipated results, primary tasks, client participants, key assumptions, and deliverables. It is this further
knowledge and information that will guide us as we partner with the City and successfully complete a
competitive procurement.
Upon completion of contract negotiations with the selected vendor, the project is ready to move to the
implementation phase. At that point, the PCG team will continue to follow our Project Management
Methodology
Project Description / Scope of Services
PCG is a recognized national leader in the delivery of Project Management Services. We are proud of our
Business Solutions Center of Excellence (CoE) and Project Management Methodology (PMM) which both
bolster the knowledge and support of our consultants in the delivery of successful, time-tested Project
Management services.
Our consultants are formally trained to support their project management certification efforts as well as
mentored by experienced staff based on Project Management Institute (PMI) Project Management Body of
Knowledge (PMBOK) and other industry standards and best practices. We have more than 42 PM I-certified
Project Management Practitioners within our Technology Services Practice Area alone.
PCG's PMM has four (4) basic tenets that we believe are the foundation of any sound project management
methodology which we will use to support development of our deliverables to the City of Carlsbad. Without
these being in place, control methods, procedures, and other project management best practices will not
be effective. Our specific objectives include:
1. High-Quality Work -Deliver high quality services and work products that address the business
objectives and meet the requirements of the City of Carlsbad
17 City Attorney Approved Version 6/12/18
Sept. 10, 2019 Item #2 Page 82 of 113
2. On-Time Delivery -Complete deliverables on schedule and within budget
3. Effective Communication -Timely and accurate communication to the City of Carlsbad project
participants and stakeholders throughout the entire project
4. Proactive Management -Identify potential problems before they develop and initiate appropriate
corrective action
The PCG PMM ensures that various review activities are conducted, work teams and deliverables are
coordinated, and high-quality work products are delivered to the City of Carlsbad. This includes meeting
the agreed-to timeline for each deliverable.
All the consultants being bid on this opportunity are seasoned project management professionals with many
years of experience. Working on many projects and juggling different timelines means knowing how to
prioritize. Projects will have different priorities, and tasks within those projects will also have different
priorities. PCG staff know how to prioritize and understand what is really important and what may be just a
nice to have. As evidenced by staff resumes, our project managers have worked in program management
offices (California Employment Development Department, for example) and have served on multiple
projects at the same time.
Our approach is built on three principles that serve as its cornerstone and reinforce the notion that projects
require a commitment that starts from the very beginning:
1. Understand the Goal -Success begins with an understanding of the City's projects. PCG Project
Managers are active listeners, avid consumers of information, and facilitators of structured
discussion that results in a common understanding of the project goals by both PCG and city staff.
2. Be Proactive and Stay on Task -PCG maintains progress by planning ahead, communicating
actively, being collaborative, leading decisively as well as accepting responsibility for outcomes.
3. Deliver Results -PCG will work collaboratively with the City of Carlsbad to successfully deliver on
time, within scope, and on budget while exceeding expectations.

Figure 3. PCG Project Management Methodology
PCG will follow a process that includes Project Initiation, Planning, Execution, Control, and Closeout. PCG's
PMM employs a structured and repeatable process broken into five (5) industry standard process groups
that will not only complement the goals and objectives of this RFQ but interact and overlap iteratively over
the life of the project:
1. Initiation -Begins at project conceptualization and focuses on building the foundation with the City
of Carlsbad and the project. The project governance and Project Charter are reviewed and/or
established and alignment between the City of Carlsbad and the PCG Project Team is obtained. A
high-level schedule is created, resource requirements identified, and processes for monitoring
progress and resolving issues are established.
2. Planning -Centers on formalizing the project plan, budget and schedule. PCG will work in
coordination with the City of Carlsbad to finalize all contract requirements and workload estimates,
define risks and contingencies, establish communication protocols, verify deliverable expectations
and implement management tools.
3. Execution -Occurs throughout the life of the project, beginning with the allocation of human
resources and assignment of work tasks. PCG will again work in coordination with the City of
Carlsbad to direct project activities and administer project policy in accordance with the plan.
Execution is an iterative process that often requires re-planning to accommodate unforeseen
changes in priority or scope.
4. Control -Occurs throughout the life of the project. The focus here is on tracking progress against
the plan and controlling scope, schedule, budget, and human resource needs. PCG will work in
coordination with the City of Carlsbad to forecast project needs and execute corrective actions to
overcome project challenges.
5. Closeout -Formalizes acceptance of the project. Lessons learned are documented, transition
activities are completed, and all project artifacts are formally accepted and transitioned to the City
of Carlsbad ensuring each work producUdeliverable can be found in the project's documentation
repository.
