Dear James,
Thank you for reaching out to us regarding project management assistance for the CentralSquare Public
Safety System implementation project. We appreciate the opportunity to present the City with a Scope
of Work to provide consultant services for this important project.
Background
The City of Lubbock is currently in the middle of contract negotiations with their new public safety system
selection, CentralSquare Enterprise CAD/RMS. They contracted with Sciens to assist them in the selection
process through contract signing. As such, the selected system will most likely begin implementation early
next year and will take approximately 18-24 months to go -live. The City has asked Sciens to provide
assistance with the project and vendor management portion of this project. Outlined below is the Scope
of Work for the next phase of this project, the implementation of the CentralSquare system.
Scope of Work
The project is managed hand -in -hand with the City, with Sciens' support every step of the way. The phase
breakdown of our methodology is shown below.

focuses on clear communications and maintaining a positive perception of the system change for the
duration of the project.
• Data Conversion Planning: Sciens will work with the City and Vendor to plan for data conversion

■ End User Training Planning: Sciens will work with the City and Vendor to plan for training detailing (a)
required training by user group, (b) timing, and (c) logistical requirements.
• Risk Mitigation Planning: Sciens will work with the City to identify Vendor -dependent (e.g., data
conversion) and non -Vendor -dependent (e.g., City resources availability) project risks. Create a
project risk register which the Project Management team will use to identify the probability of risks
occurring, potential impact on the project (including dependencies), mitigation actions to be taken,
and assignment of resources responsible for mitigation.
• Comprehensive Proiect Implementation Planning: Sciens will work with the City and the Vendor to
conduct upfront project planning and define the Vendor's Project Plan. This will include a review of
materials, conference calls and onsite participation in the kickoff and negotiation of the Vendor's plan.
The plan and GANTT should include both vendor activity (e.g., system installation, configuration, data
conversion, training) and non -vendor activity (e.g., change management, infrastructure setup, risk
management planning, disaster recovery planning) required to make the project successful.
