OVERVIEW
City of Lubbock Utilities plans to implement the following solutions over the next few years.
1) Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) Solution — Initial Installation. The AMI solution is
estimated to begin in June 2018. The first phase of the AMI solution includes the installation of
the network, installation of approximately 500 electric meters and 500 water modules, and the
installation of the headend (collectively, the "Initial Installation"). Within the scope of the Initial
Installation of the AMI solution, TMG will build a two-way interface between the selected AMI
vendor and the current Customer Information System (CIS), also known as "Banner". This
interface will provide monthly data to Banner for billing. The AMI / Banner interface will continue
to be utilized until the new CIS system is put into production. After the Initial Installation passes
system acceptance, the AMI installation will continue with the electric mass deployment by route
("Field Installation").
2) AMI Solution — Electric Field Installation. Mass deployment will install approximately 98% of the
electric meters over a 12-month period with a multi -month ramp down which completes the final
2% over time.
3) AMI Solution — Water Field Installation (Optional). Mass deployment will install approximately
98% of the water modules over an 18-month period with a multi -month ramp down which
completes the final 2% overtime. Water Field Installation is not scheduled at this time, however,
has been included as an option within this Statement of Work (SOW). Water Field Installation will
be scheduled once it is decided if this option will be exercised. The City is provided 24 months to
exercise this option.
4) Customer Information System / Meter Data Management / Mobile Workforce Management
(CIS/MDMS/MWFM) Vendor Solution. Once the AMI Initial Installation has completed system
acceptance, the CIS/MDMS/MWFM project is scheduled to begin. The duration of this
implementation is expected to be approximately 18 months with 2 months of post -
implementation support. The full scope of this effort is to replace the Banner CIS; replace the V-
net Mobile Workforce Management system, and manual processes; implement a new Meter Data
Management system; and replace the current interfaces to other external systems. All systems
will be modified and tested before the formal cut -over is completed.
Professional Services Agreement—TMG Consulting Services, Inc.

The expected duration of this program is 26 months, but this timeframe will be adjusted as project
planning is finalized. Following is a representation of the timeline for AMI and CIS/MDMS/MWFM for
electric only:

For planning purpose, the water mass deployment would begin approximately 6 months after electric and
continue through in parallel. The water mass deployment would extend past the electric by approximately
12 months based on the difference in deployment times — electric 12 months while water is 18 months.
These timeframes will be adjusted as project planning and approval is finalized. Following is a

TMG will also at times interview the City of Lubbock Utilities end users to verify that the project impact
and staff expectations are being clearly communicated to the users and that the users are coming up to
speed for production use of the solution.
The information obtained from these interviews is then analyzed to determine and document the status
of the project in four analytical areas: Scope, Schedule, Budget, & Quality. In addition to face-to-face
interviews, TMG will also review project artifacts and attend project meetings to verify that the status of
the project is consistent with our findings in the interviews.
Based on our findings during each month's review TMG will provide a QA Report in which TMG will
describe and assess risks and issues and make recommendations to City of Lubbock Utilities for their
mitigation. TMG will provide this report to the Steering Committee and where possible, attend the
monthly Steering Committee meeting.
TMG will work collaboratively with the executive management of City of Lubbock Utilities and vendor
partners to mitigate risk as soon as it's identified.
Deliverable: Written Quality Assurance report including identified risks and recommendations for
mitigation

The AMI implementation vendor is responsible for delivering, installing and configuring the infrastructure
based on a client's specific requirements. TMG will develop integration between AMI and City of Lubbock
Utilities Banner system and the AMI Vendor's Work Order Management System and Banner. TMG refers
to the final work products of these efforts collectively as the AMI solution.
The CIS/MDMS/MWFM vendor is responsible for delivering, configuring and enhancing the software
application based on a client's specific functional and technical requirements. In the cloud
implementation, the CIS/MDMS/MWFM vendor will be responsible for the provisioning, set-up, and
configuration of the hardware and supporting system software (such as operating systems and
databases). In addition, TMG will develop the data conversion from Banner into CIS/MDMS/MWFM
software. TMG refers to the final work products of these efforts collectively as the CIS/MDMS/MWFM
solution.
Before City of Lubbock Utilities can go -live on each solution, it must accept the solution. Acceptance
means that the solution operates according to the specifications agreed to between the respective
vendors and the City of Lubbock Utilities, it is error free and performs according to agreed benchmarks.
The point at which acceptance occurs is the trigger for the next stages of the project: cut -over
preparations, cut -over, production support and in the case of AMI, mass deployment. In orderto achieve
acceptance, the solution must be extensively tested, typically using a strategy of different and generally
increasingly complex test approaches.
This process dominates the final half of the Initial Installation phase (for AMI) and the final half of the
CIS/MDMS/MWFM implementation phase.
ACTIVITY 2.1: DELIVER TEST MANAGEMENT CONSULTING
TMG will provide a structured methodology for all aspects of client testing (including functional, system,
integration, stress, user acceptance, and parallel testing) for the entire program which will include
oversight and management of the entire testing process. Specifically, for each project TMG will provide:
• Authoring the test strategy document which describes the entire test process for each project;
• Authoring plans for each test phase (describing the what, when, who, how, where, exit and entry
criteria for each activity);
• Mentoring and management for the creation of test scripts, scenarios, and cases;
• Detailed scheduling of test execution (including assignment of work per test resource, per day);
and
• Management of each test execution phase including tracking forecast vs. actual progress, issue
and defect resolution, environment control (code and configuration release management).
Deliverable: Test Management leading to System Acceptance.
Professional Services Agreement—TMG Consulting Services, Inc.
23
TMG will assume responsibilities for the construction of various parts of the CIS/MDMS/MWFM and AMI
solutions as described below. TMG employs industry standard practices for all aspects of the software
development lifecycle: functional and technical specification authoring, code development, unit testing,
deployment, and issue resolution.
ACTIVITY 3.1: AMI INTEGRATION TO BANNER
The intent of the overall program is to complete the AMI Initial Installation before beginning the CIS
implementation. The AMI mass -deployment will continue in parallel throughout the CIS project.
Therefore, as meters are exchanged and commissioned, there is a need for a two-way communication
between the AMI headend and Banner CIS to enable billing from these meters. TMG will:
• Create an interface between Banner CIS and AMI headend in the AMI headend format which will
request a meter read for a specific meter to enable monthly billing.
• Create an interface between AMI headend and Banner CIS in the Banner CIS format that will send
meter reads to Banner CIS for a specific meter to enable monthly billing.
In addition to supporting the deployment of meters throughout the project, there is a need for an
interface between Banner and the AMI vendor's Work Order Management System (WOMS). City of
Lubbock Utilities will identify the routes within a cycle where the meter should be replaced. This enables
City of Lubbock Utilities to control the deployment based on a business requirement such as: areas that
need the most attention, areas where maintenance is in progress, high consumption customers, etc. TMG
will:
Create a program which raises a service order for every meter within a specified route within
Banner CIS. Create a file that can be used by WOMS to indicate which meter number and address
of the meter to be replaced.
• Create a program to process a file from WOMS that includes the old meter # and out read, new
meter # and in read, GPS location of the meter and any meters that could not be exchanged. Close
the service order created by the previous process. Update the GPS location on the Service Point.
Deliverable: Interface — Banner Read Request
Interface — Banner Read Results
Program — Service Order creation and exchange file
Program — Service Order update
ACTIVITY 3.2: LOAD METER EXCHANGE ARTIFACTS FOR USE BY CIS/MDMS/MWFM VENDOR
As the AMI installation vendor replaces the customer meters, pictures will be taken. These images can be
stored in CIS for reference. TMG will:
Create a program which extracts images created during the AMI meter/endpoint installation
(minimum of 2 before and 2 after) and stores the images on a new table in the CIS/MDM/MWFM
database.
• Update a meter characteristic with the link to each image.
Deliverable: Upload program from AMI installation vendor's work order system into new CIS
Professional Services Agreement—TMG Consulting Services, Inc.
24
ACTIVITY 3.3: DATA CONVERSION
TASK 3.3.1: CIS DATA ANALYSIS
TMG will work with the vendor to review the current data available from AM I and identify potential issues.
Issues will be documented, and a plan put into place to remedy the issues.
TMG will review the current Banner system data to identify potential quality issues. Issues will be
documented and separated into pre -conversion, conversion, or post -conversion activities.
Deliverable: Documented Data Issues and Remedy Recommendations.
TASK 3.3.2: CONVERSION GOVERNANCE
Data Conversion begins at the start of the project and continues through go -live and beyond. It is a
combination of sound communications and control. A separate governance document will include:
• CONVERSION STRATEGY DOCUMENT - The conversion strategy document identifies the approach
and guidelines that will drive the migration of data from Banner to the new CIS. The document
includes information on the migration order and module interdependencies, the responsibility
associated with the migration tasks, audit and checkpoint procedures, and signoff protocol for
acceptance of migration.
• DATA ISSUES — A real time Dashboard which will be used for identifying, reporting and tracking
data issues and their resolution progress.
• DATA CLEANSING WORK PLAN —A location to track data cleansing decisions, responsibilities and
resolution status.
• DATA MAPPING DOCUMENT- This document is the result of data mapping workshops which will
lag the new CIS vendor workshops. This key document identifies the specific data that will be
extracted from Banner, translated and loaded into the new CIS based on workshops and the
configuration worksheet.
• CONVERSION STATUS REPORT —Summary and detailed report of all conversion related items.
Deliverable: Conversion Strategy Document
Data Cleansing Work Plan
Data Mapping Document
Monthly Conversion Status Report
TASK 3.3.3: EXTRACT, TRANSFORM AND LOAD (ETL)
Once system configuration is complete, the data transformation can begin. Each ETL includes a logical
progression of stages with successful completion or attention required notification(s):
A. Resets target staging table of tables
B. Selects data based on keys found in identification stage
C. Transforms and loads data into target staging area
D. Analyzes the table for the new CIS statistics.
Deliverable: Extracted data loaded into staging tables
Professional Services Agreement—TMG Consulting Services, Inc.
25
TASK 3.3.4: STAGING, VALIDATION, RECONCILIATION AND BALANCING
Foundational areas are the first to be migrated. The conversion process loads based on data
dependencies. Data migration is done in a prescribed hierarchy based on how information is expected by
the new CIS. It is an iterative process which allows the project to begin viewing converted data within the
new CIS in each phase of the project. Each successive iteration incorporates refinements in scope,
functionality and business process design configuration as the project advances through the analysis,
assembly, acceptance, deployment and stabilization phases. For each load, validation, record
reconciliation and financial balancing is completed.
Deliverable: Data reconciled between original system and receiving system.
TASK 3.3.5: DATA CONVERSION QUALITY ASSURANCE
A. The first step collects statistics and summary information for what has been extracted and
not extracted for top down validation.
B. The second step involves the City of Lubbock Utilities' first look at converted data using a
defined representative subset.
C. The third and final step of data conversion testing is mock testing as outlined below:
a) Each mock test will have its own testing plan specifying the data to be tested, test database
identification, critical focus areas, roles, responsibilities, assignments and schedule.
b) Conversion defects are posted by test occurrence to the project SharePoint.
c) A primary objective of mock testing is to compare converted data and values in the new
CIS to the same data and values in the legacy system.
d) A minimum of (3) specifically mock test runs are done as outlined below:
1) Mock 1- fundamental foundation testing.
2) Mock 2 - primary business processes.
3) Mock 3 -full data conversion operational testing for User Acceptance Testing (UAT)
to begin.
TASK 3.3.6: DEPLOYMENT
In accordance with the project deployment and cut over plans and based on the conversion strategy
document, deployment will include:
A. Go -Live Dress Rehearsals
B. Go Live / Cut Over
TASK 3.3.7: PRODUCTION STABILIZATION
In accordance with the project stabilization plan, final data conversion activities will include: data
issues assessment and final data issues clean up.

TMG's change management features a holistic view of the City of Lubbock. It aligns front-line changes
with high-level business strategies and goals. TMG, working cooperatively with management will:
• Work with the various project work streams to direct, assist and monitor their specific change
needs.
• Work closely with the City of Lubbock Utilities to monitor the overall progress and change within
City.
Throughout the projects, TMG will:
• Provide a consistent approach to managing change across the all affected departments;
• Assess and manage change capacity over the course of the program;
• Develop and assess the operational readiness of impacted department; and
• Build internal OCM capabilities.
TMG will address the change needs for all impacted personnel including front -office, back -office and field
staff. TMG will assist the City of Lubbock in identifying "change agents" within the organization, typically
key management and supervisory staff, who are critical to the adoption of change and sustained
improvement beyond implementation.
ACTIVITY 4.1: ASSESS READINESS FOR CHANGE
TMG will assess the readiness for change at key milestones within the projects. Readiness assessments
determine where stakeholder groups are within the Change Acceptance process. This includes measuring
knowledge and skills required for the new solution.
Communication and sponsorship are the primary mechanisms used to develop awareness.
Training and performance support build on the communication and sponsorship messages and are
particularly effective when stakeholders try out the change and get hands-on experience.
On -going proactive communication, sponsorship, training and performance support activities ultimately
help users reach a level of acceptance and readiness to operate in the new/changed environment.
ACTIVITY 4.2: ASSESS ORGANIZATIONAL IMPACTS
TMG understands how individuals and groups respond to change and will tailor its approach to fit the staff
within the City of Lubbock. TMG will guide staff through each activity. The scope of TMG's organizational
change management approach includes the following activities:
• Identifying and documenting process changes;
• Identifying and documenting change impacts (including knowledge/skill requirements, job design
impacts, new terminology, new concepts, etc.);
• Planning and delivering stakeholder communications;
• Enabling job design and responsibility changes;
• Supporting and enabling change leadership and sponsorship activities;
• Designing, developing and delivering performance support tools;
• Assessing business change readiness; and
• Planning and implementing post -implementation user support processes.
Specifically, the following groups will be examined and will be subject to the activities noted above:
Professional Services Agreement — TMG Consulting Services, Inc.
27
TASK 4.2.1: ASSESS CUSTOMER SERVICE
In general, as the solutions are deployed, it is likely Customer Service will experience an increase in call
times. TMG will examine the impact of the introduction of AMI, MDM, CIS and MWFM and extrapolate
expected increases based on its prior experience.
Business process, procedures and policy may change in the following areas:
• Resolution of billing complaints may be made easier by the availability of interval readings, for
example, allowing CSRs to hone in on short periods of high usage that may have contributed to a
high bill.
Customer Service may be trained to proactively seek irregular usage. Training the CSR as to how
to train certain customers to actively check their own interval data may reduce some of the "new
system" delays.
The integrated systems will enable Customer Service to have a better view of what is happening
on a customer's account. Training and new business processes will be key to the Customer Service
area to take full advantage of the complete solution as it evolves.
TASK 4.2.2: ASSESS FIELD SERVICES AND DISPATCH
Field Crews and their dispatches will be affected in many ways:
• Deployment of AMI equipment in the field may interfere with the normal course of their work.
AMI installation crews generally work systematically, route by route, street by street and when
performing their work. It will be inevitable that they encounter City of Lubbock field crews
performing field activities, generated by Banner CIS (e.g. cut for non-payment, meter exchanges,
check reads, etc.).
• New equipment will need to be replaced and maintained in the future. The training of field
personnel in the maintenance and replacement of communication modules, meters and possibly
collectors will be part of the scope of change management.
The way in which work is routed to them will change in the future. Field Activities will be
automatically raised by events/alerts sent by AMI equipment, CIS or other Mobile Workforce
users.
[TASK 4.2.3: ASSESS METER READING
The manual reading of meters will continue but will slowly be phased out for AMI meters. TMG will work
with City of Lubbock Utilities to train meter readers utilizing the new solution to continue to provide
readings as/after AMI installation has occurred.
TASK 4.2.4: ASSESS BILLING & COMMERCIAL SERVICES (COLLECTIONS)
AMI will be a powerful tool used by collections in disputes over high bills and usage. Theft may also be
indicated by AMI data. Back office staff will require training to identify and use data in their investigation
of such issues.
1 TASK 4.2.5: ASSESS METER SHOP
Professional Services Agreement—TMG Consulting Services, Inc.
28
Meter equipment will require different assembly and maintenance in future. TMG will work with City of
Lubbock Utilities to provide relevant training to City of Lubbock meter technicians.
ACTIVITY 4.3: MANAGE AND COMMUNICATE
Management: This activity focuses on managing the overall change process and working with change
agents to facilitate the change process. TMG will focus on building executive support for the objectives
defined within the change process and measuring the organization's progress.
Sustained sponsorship for the implementation project is required for success:
• Making decisions regarding changes that are required
• Communicating new priorities to the organization
• Providing reinforcement and support to ensure successful change
Change readiness checkpoints will be conducted at the end of each phase to understand where the
organization is in terms of preparedness for the change. The key checkpoint will be conducted prior to go -
live to ensure that the organization is prepared for the new system.
Communication: The "why," "what," "how," and "who" of the communication effort necessary to support
the new changes. TMG will develop change context and the communication objectives. Tactics that the
project team will employ will be defined. TMG will work with City of Lubbock to highlight those who will
receive the communication and support those who will develop, review and deliver the information.
There are three components to communications:
1. Messages: themes and key content that will be delivered through all communications. Every
communication must have a purpose that brings the audience to a specific level of awareness or
understanding about the project, or to announce reaching a major project milestone. Each
message communicated must be customized for its target audience. This will ensure that the
information is relevant.
2. Vehicles: methods used to deliver messages to stakeholders. The vehicles used can be as informal
as a telephone conversation or as formal as a prepared presentation or a newsletter. The vehicles
used will differ depending on the stakeholder group and the message being delivered.
3. Feedback: Feedback must be gathered and evaluated in order to monitor, check, and improve
communications. Feedback checks that the key messages are reaching their target audiences and
provides a means of "tuning" communications to meet the needs of audiences. Feedback may
include the development of questionnaires and surveys as well as management debriefs after
communications events.
Deliverables: Communications Approach and Plan,
Communications Materials,
Communications Feedback/Results,
Change Agent Network Plan,
Change Readiness Surveys,
Change Readiness Results
ACTIVITY 4.4: PERFORM BUSINESS PROCESS REVIEW
As part of project start-up activities, TMG will review the existing business processes in preparation for
the new system and document recommendations for best practices that are to be considered for
implementation as part of the project.
Professional Services Agreement—TMG Consulting Services, Inc.
29
AMI: TMG will review the existing Meter Shop, Meter Read, Meter Replacement and affected Banner
business processes.
CIS/MDMS/MWFM: TMG will review Customer Service, Field Service, Dispatch and Finance business
processes. Included in this review will be a review of the information needed from AMI to MDM. This
review will document impacts to any existing in -bound or out -bound integration to other internal or
external products.
Deliverable: Documented Process Change Recommendations.
ACTIVITY 4.5: DELIVER BUSINESS PROCESS REENGINEERING ("BPR") CONSULTING SERVICES
A major component of the City of Lubbock Utilities implementation will be the definition and/or updating
of your business processes and procedures. "As -is" process and procedure definition is the starting point
for the "to -be", which in turn is the basis for testing, training, and business process improvements.
Our BPR Services include:
• Identify and recommend changes to business processes (and policies and ordinances where
necessary) based on best practices;
• Document (in both flow diagram and written form) changes to business processes and
responsibilities (including hand-off points);
• Assist City of Lubbock Utilities team in the construction of new procedures (that will work with
the new applications being implemented).
Deliverable: New business processes

If Electric and Water Field deployment overlap in timing, there will savings in both project management
and CIA costs. The cost savings is based on the fact that both deployments can be managed and monitored
by one Project Manager and a combined AMI CIA report will be created. The table below shows the
additional hours needed if the water deployment follows behind the electric deployment. Note: dates
are estimated and will be corrected once approval is given.
