COMMENTS
The Information Technology Agency (ITA) requests approval of Supplemental Agreement No. 2
(Agreement) to City Contract C-112988 with SBC Global Services, Inc. dba AT&T Global Services on
behalf of Pacific Bell Telephone Company dba AT&T California (AT&T) and C-113305 with Verizon
Business, Oointly, "Contracts") for Citywide telecommunications services. The majority of City facility
fixed-line telephone costs are funded through these Contracts. The proposed Agreement would
extend the term of the Contracts by two years for a new nine-year term effective January 30, 2007
through January 29,2016.
Basis for Contracts
In 2005, the State of Califomia (State), Department of General Services released a Request for
Proposals (RFP) to procure telecommunications services. The RFP resulted in the execution of two
State Integrated Information Network Master Service Agreements (MSAs) with AT&T. The first of
these MSAs is for traditional local voice and data services (MSA 1), and the second is for long
distance and network-based services (MSA 2). These two MSAs, along with MSAs 3 and 4 with
Verizon Business for internet protocol (IP) and broadband fixed wireless ac ss (BFWA) services, are

commonly referred to as CALNET 2. CALNET 2 provides various jurisdictions within the State the
ability to utilize the MSAs to obtain discounted volume pricing for telecommunications services. The
original term of CALNET 2 was for five years effective January 30, 2007 through January 29, 2012
with two one-year renewal options. The State subsequently exercised both renewal options, for a
CALNET 2 term effective through January 29,2014 and an overall term effective seven years.
Current Contract
In October 2007, the Council authorized ITA to enter into Contracts with AT&T and Verizon Business
to secure the discounted telecommunications services pricing provided through CALNET 2 (Council
File 06-3244). Pursuant to this Council approval, ITA executed the Contracts and amendments to the
Contracts as follows:
•
G
e
•
November 2007: The original Contracts were executed. At this time, an Authorization to Order
(ATO) under MSA 1 was executed authorizing the procurement of various local voice and data
telephone services with AT&T. An ATO under MSA 3 and 4 was also executed authorizing the
procurement of IP and BFWA services with Verizon Business. The Contracts mirrored the fiveyear term of January 30, 2007 through January 29, 2012, with two one-year renewal options,
of CAL NET 2.
May 2008: Amendment No.1 to the AT&T contract was executed. At this time, an ATO under
MSA 2 was executed which authorized the procurement of long distance calling services.
Therefore, the City could now utilize both (1) traditional local voice and data services included
within the ATO to MSA 1 executed in November 2007 and the (2) long distance calling
services included within the ATO to MSA 2 executed in May 2008.
March 2012: Supplemental Agreement No. 1 to the Contracts was executed. This
Supplemental Agreement exercised the two renewal options and reduced Contract pricing, for
a revised term effective through January 29, 2014.
December 2012: Amendment No.1 to Supplemental Agreement No.1 to the AT&T contract
was executed. At this time, two ATOs under MSA 2 were executed which authorized use of
hosted call center services. The contract term was not extended.
Proposed Supplemental Agreement No.2
In January 2014, the State Department of Technology Statewide Technology Procurement Division
amended the list of MSAs by exercising its authority to extend the CALNET 2 services two additional
years through 2016. While the State released a Request For Qualifications (RFQ) in 2012, and
recently awarded and fully executed CALNET 3 contracts for voice and data services as
replacements to the CALNET 2 contracts, the State has yet to post the catalogs, user instructions for
ordering, or procedures for how to migrate to CALNET 3. Accordingly, ITA recommends extending
the Contracts with AT&T and Verizon Business through January 29, 2016 in order to allow for the
continuation
of CALNET 2 services necessary to continue meeting the City's current
telecommunications business needs and to minimize potential service disruptions. The City will move
forward with contracts under CALNET 3 as soon as the necessary service information is available.
Charter Section 1022 does not apply as the Contracts are with regulated public utilities and there are
no defined labor components. AT&T and Verizon Business have complied with all applicable City
contracting requirements. The Contracts are not subject to the Affirmative Action Program, the Equal
Benefits Ordinance, the Contractor Responsibility Ordinance, or Good Faith Effort Outreach because
they were entered into pursuant to the State's MSAs, which were competitively bid and provide the

City discounted volume pricing. The City Attorney has determined that the standard provisions for
City personal services contracts are not required for these Contracts due to the nature of the public
utility service being procured. As Council approved the initial contracts, Council approval of the
proposed Supplemental Agreement No.2 is now required.
RECOMMENDATION
That the Council approve and authorize the General Manager of the Information Technology Agency,
or designee, to execute Supplemental Agreement No.2 to City Contract C-112988 with SBC Global
Services, Inc. dba AT&T Global Services on behalf of Pacific Bell Telephone Company dba AT&T
California (AT&T) and C-113305 with Verizon Business for Citywide telecommunications services, in
order to extend the term of the Contracts by two years for a revised contract term effective nine years
from January 30, 2007 through January 29, 2016, subject to the review and approval of the City
Attorney.
FISCAL IMPACT STATEMENT
Expenditures through the Contracts are determined based on Citywide telephone usage. The
Information Technology Agency Communication Services Account is anticipated to have sufficient
budgeted funds to cover these Contract expenditures. Since budgeted funds are available in fiscal
year 2013-14 and future payments are subject to future appropriation, the recommendations provided
in this report are in compliance with the City's Financial Policies.

Attention: Mandy Morales, Legislative Coordinator
Subject: SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENTS WITH AT&T (C-112088) AND VERIZON
BUSINESS (C-113305) FOR CITYWIDE TELECOMMUNICATIONS
SERVICES
Dear Mayor Garcetti:
In accordance with Executive Directive No.3, attached for your review and approval are
two (2) Supplemental Agreements. The attached supplemental agreements with AT&T
(C-112988) and with Verizon Business (C-113305) will enable the City to continue
procuring Citywide telecommunications services under the current utility contract
agreements an additional two years until 2016.
Background
In 1999, on behalf of the City and atthe direction ofthe City Council (C.F. 99-0843), ITA
entered into an agreement with the State of California to procure selected
telecommunications services (Contract Number C-98813). The services were provided
through the State of California Integrated Information Network Master Service
Agreement (CALNET 1) and provided beneficial volume pricing to the City. On
November 30, 2006, the State extended the term of CALNET 1 to December 3, 2007 to
facilitate the orderly transition and migration of services from CALNET 1 to CALNET 2
pursuant to terms of the Agreement. Accordingly, CALNET 1 continued in effect until
December 3,2007.
The State of California, Department of General Services released a Request for
Proposals (RFP) in 2005 to replace the CALNET 1. The State contracts with AT&T and
Verizon Business, commonly referred to as CALNET 2, were fully executed on January
30, 2007 for five years with an option for two additional one-year extensions. In 2012,
the contracts with AT&T and Verizon Business were amended to extend the term for an

additional two years until January 29, 2014. The contracts continued the traditional
voice services, and provided additional converged and broadband wireless access
services, as follows:

MSA 2 - Long Distance for Voice Services
MSA 3 - Internet Protocol (IP) Services
MSA 4 - Broadband Fixed Wireless Access (BFWA) Services

Last month, the California Department of Technology Statewide Technology
Procurement Division amended the above listed Master Service Agreements (MSAs) by
exercising its authority to extend the CALNET 2 services two additional years thru 2016.
Therefore, ITA recommends extending the current contracts with AT&T and Verizon
Business in order to continue meeting the City's current telecommunications business
needs and minimizing potential service disruptions.
The State released a Request For Qualifications Proposal (RFQP) in 2012, and just
recently awarded and fully executed the CALNET 3 contracts for voice and data
services as replacements to the CALNET 2 contracts. However, at this time, the State
has yet to post the catalogs or user instructions for ordering or provided procedures for
migrating/converting over to CALNET 3.
The Charter Section 1022 was not required as the Personnel Department has stated
that there continues to be no labor component attached to the contract.
The Good Faith Effort requirement was not applicable because the State's CALNET 2
was competitively bid.
The ACORD certificates for AT&T and Verizon Business are current.
Per Administrative Code section 10.B, these agreements are not subject to nondiscrimination and Affirmative Action Plan provisions requirements as these contracts
were made by the State of California, and therefore, pursuant to section 10.9(b) are
exemptfrom said section requirements in section 10.B.
A waiver from the Equal Benefits Ordinance based on Administrative Code
10.B.2.1 (i)(1)(h) for bulk purchasing arrangement was approved.
Exemption from the Contractor Responsibility Ordinance requirement was approved
based on Administrative Code 10.40.4(b)(5) pursuant to Charter Section 371(e)(B) for
cooperative arrangement with another governmental agencies.
Honorable Eric Garcetti
February 12, 2014

The Bidder Certification CEC Form 50 and compliance with Los Angeles City Charter
Section 470(c)(12) CEC Form 55 were not required at the time the contract was
originally executed.
The City Attorney has reviewed the draft supplemental agreements as to form.
Fiscal Impact Statement
ITA is funded within its 9350 Communication Services Account for citywide
telecommunications services. No additional funding is required.
If the current service agreements are not amended, and no successor agreement is in
place, the City may be subject to tariff rates which are significantly higher than the
contract rates (approximately 30% higher).
Recommendations
It is recommended that the Council authorize the General Manager of ITA, or his
designee, to execute the supplemental agreements with AT&T arid Verizon Business to
extend the term of the contract for two additional years from January 29, 2012 to
January 29, 2014 subject to the approval of the Mayor.

COMMENTS
The Payroll System Replacement (PaySR) project was initiated in July 2000 to replace the City's
legacy payroll system, which was obsolete, inflexible, and difficult to maintain. The continued support
of the PaySR development contractor, Hess .and Associates, Inc" will be required during the 2013-14
and 2014-15 Fiscal Years to work on the high priority projects that are needed as well as to provide
production support and knowledge transfer to City staff,
ITA submitted a request to the PaySR Steering Committee to amend the City's contract with Hess
and Associates, Inc, (Contractor) to pay for additional PaySR project work, The PaySR Steering
Committee was established by the City Council, and its voting membership includes representatives
of the Mayor's Office and the Chief Legislative Analyst, as well as the City Administrative Officer who
chairs the Committee, The PaySR Steering Committee also includes advisory representatives from
the Controller, ITA, and the Personnel Department. The Council authorized the Steering Committee
to approve contracts necessary for the implementation of a replacement City payroll system before
those items are submitted to Council for approval (C,F, 99-1641), The Steering Committee
recommended at its meeting on April 3, 2014 that Council approve Amendment No, 16 to Contract
No, C-105458 between the City and the ontractor.

PAYSR PROJECT
The scope of the PaySR project has expanded in response to new City and legal requirements as
well as requirements that were not anticipated at the beginning of the project. While the need for
additional project deliverables has extended the project timeline, PaySR has provided the City with
systematic controls that result in more accurate paychecks and greater efficiency in Controller and
departmental payroll processes. According to the American Payroll Association, an acceptable payroll
error rate based on a 2009 Payroll Performance Study is two percent. In 2012, the PaySR payroll
error rate was 0.009 percent for the 1.13 million City paychecks created. PaySR has also proven to
be a very flexible system that has accommodated in a timely manner the multitude of changes
required by cost-saving labor negotiations in recent years.
PROPOSED AMENDMENT
The PaySR projects for Fiscal Years 2013-14 and 2014-15 are described in Attachment 1 and remain
unchanged from Amendment No. 15. Continuing production support is the highest priority and as time
allows, work on various technical or functional projects will be performed. In addition, work may be
requested by other City departments for critical projects such as the need to comply with new legal
requirements.
The Personnel Department has identified additional critical projects related to the implementation of a
new workers' compensation system and the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
(Affordable Care Act or ACA) that need to be completed during the term of this contract. Accordingly,
Amendment No. 16 will cover the provision of services to complete these additional projects as
outlined below:
1. Workers' Compensation liVOS System-Related PaySR Enhancements): Create interfaces to
and from the new workers' compensation system, iVOS, and provide additional enhancements
to ensure the successful launch of the new system in the second quarter of 2014. This work is
expected to be completed in fiscal year 2013-14 at a cost of $65,000.
2. Workers' Compensation (PaySR Enhancements): Program ability in PaySR for employees on
workers' compensation state rate to use sick time up to the equivalent of their salary;
implement validation tool to prevent duplicate payments to employees on workers'
compensation state rate; display work restrictions (industrial and non-industrial) for affected
employees in PaySR. This work is expected to begin immediately and be completed in fiscal
year 2014-15 at a cost of $90,000.
Funding: The Personnel Department has identified savings of $155,000 in the Human
Resources Benefits Budget, Contractual Services Account from funds allocated for the
replacement of the workers' compensation system to fund projects 1 and 2 described above.
3. Affordable Care Act (PaySR Enhancements): Create reports and files on compensated hours
of service to enable the Personnel Department to determine when City employees will become
eligible for health care benefits under the Affordable Care Act. This work is expected to begin
immediately and be completed in fiscal year 2014-15 at a cost of $90,000.

Funding: The Personnel Department has identified savings of $90,000 in the Human
Resources Benefits Budget, Contractual Services Account from funds budgeted for Affordable
Care Act-related expenditures to fund this project.
Funds that are not spent at the end of the fiscal year will revert to its funding source unless Council
approves a reappropriation of the funds for a specific purpose as requested by the Department in the
financial status report. As work for the workers' compensation and ACA-related PaySR
enhancements are expected to be completed in fiscal year 2014-15, funding of $180,000 will need to
be reappropriated next fiscal year for this purpose. This action will be addressed in the 2014-15 fiscal
year-end financial status report to ensure appropriate funding is available to complete these critical
projects.
CONTRACT COMPLIANCE
Pursuant to Charter Section 1022, this Office has determined it is more feasible to contract for this
service than to use City employees. ITA surveyed several departments, each of which indicated that
there are insufficient staff to perform the work proposed to be contracted, and additional staff cannot
be employed and trained in a timely manner to meet ITA's needs.
Since this contract was executed on a sole source basis in 2003, a good faith effort outreach to
minority, women-owned and other businesses was not required. The requirement for the City Ethics
Commission Bidder Certification Form 50 is not applicable because it did not exist at the time the
contract was executed. City Council approval is required because the term exceeds three years and
the compensation exceeds $137,319 and because Council has approved previous amendments.
RECOMMENDATIONS
That the Council:
1. Approve, and authorize the General Manager of the Information Technology Agency to
execute, Amendment No. 16 to Contract No. 105458 between the City of Los Angeles and
Hess & Associates, Inc. to increase funding by an amount of $245,000 for a total contract
amount not to exceed $11,122,500, subject to the review and approval of City Attorney.
2. Transfer $155,000 from the Human Resources Benefits Budget, Department No. 61, Fund No.
100, Contractual Services Account No. 3040 to the Information Technology Agency,
Department No. 32, Fund No. 100, Contractual Services Account for workers' compensationrelated PaySR enhancements.
3. Transfer $90,000 from the Human Resources Benefits Budget, Department No. 61, Fund No.
100, Contractual Services Account No. 3040 to the Information Technology Agency,
Department No. 32, Fund No. 100, Contractual Services Account for Affordable Care Actrelated PaySR enhancements.
FISCAL IMPACT STATEMENT
The proposed amendment would add $245,000 to the contract with Hess and Associates, Inc. for a
contract total not to exceed $11,122,500. The recommendation provided in this report is in
compliance with the City's Financial Policies because it limits the City's financial obligation to the
CAO File No.

amount appropriated by the Mayor and Council for this purpose. Since funds for this contract
amendment are budgeted in the Human Resources Benefits 2013-14 Budget, Contractual Services
Account, there is no additional impact on the General Fund resulting from the execution of
Amendment No. 16 to Contract No. C-105458.

Attachment 1 - Contract # C-105458
PaySR Modification Projects Considered for Fiscal Years 2013-14, 2014-15
Production Support is a required activity to keep the PaySR system functioning.
It is the group of activities which, at a high level, consist of researching reported
problems, and delivering fixes and small modifications to PaySR modules that
are already in production. This includes:
- Implementing negotiated labor agreements that affect Payroll
- Implementing legally-mandated changes, including for tax reporting
- Personnel Support for the Layoff Process
- Production Support Work Orders from Controller and Personnel.
The City will prioritize the order in which these fixes and enhancements will be
worked.
The following modification projects are being considered for FY 2013-14 and
FY2014-15 as time allows outside of Production Support:
Technical Proiects:
1. Upgrade PaySR Application (Visual Basic to .Net Conversion)
The PaySR user community logs in to most of PaySR through our Citrix servers.
This Citrix infrastructure cannot be expanded due to limits on the version of
licenses and the end-of-life state of our Citrix servers. This limits our ability to
expand concurrent user capacity in PaySR, which is sorely needed as we add
more modules to PaySR and. more people want to use them. By moving our
PaySR application to instead use current web services technology, we can
eliminate the Citrix licenses and servers, and instead use fewer, more easily
upgraded web servers with expanded concurrent capacity. This project began in
FY12-13.
2.
Server Refreshes and Operating System (AIX) Upgrades
Infrastructure upgrades are necessary to continue to bring the PaySR database
servers up to current levels. This project will refresh servers, and upgrade the AIX
operating system on those that are not being refreshed.
3. Convert PaySR Reports from Oracle Reports to Jasper
This project will move our current PaySR reports from the expensive Oracle
Reports tool, which we are not upgrading, to the open source (free) Jasper tool.
This project starts with a review of the 600+ PaySR reports first to determine if all
are still needed.
4. Create alternative to GoogleDocs Delivery of Vendor Deduction Files
This project is to create an alternative method (email) of delivering Vendor
Deduction Files asa backup to the GoogleDocs delivery method. This will give us

Attachment 1 - Contract # C-105458
PaySR Modification Projects Considered for Fiscal Years 2013-14, 2014-15
the certainty that we can still deliver files to vendors after each payroll, even if the
GoogleDocs interface changes without warning.
Functional Projects:
1. Paperless Form 41
Approximately 167,000 Form 41's are generated each year to process personnel
changes. Five paper copies of each are made for distribution. This project will
make Form 41 information available electronically so most of the paper copies, and
the time to distribute them, can be eliminated. It will also:
• Create a "consolidated" Form41 on a biweekly basis to make it easier to
see what changed that pay period
• Create an online workflow for Personnel's approval of the relevant Form
41's into the Personnel Approved Record
• Flow the Personnel Approved Records·to the Employee Work History.
This project began in FY12-13.
2. Tax Analyzer
This project will provide Controller's Office an online query tool to view the
"Unchangeable Record of Taxes" tables that were built during the Legacy
Replacement project. It will also provide the ability to produce the various tax
reports that must be filed (ex: Tax Deposits, Quarterly/Annual Tax Reporting) from
the same database where reconciliation takes place.
This project began in FY12-13.

Honorable Bob Blumenfield
Chairperson
Innovation Technology & General Services Committee
clo Office of the City Clerk
Room 395, City Hall
Attention: Marie Espinoza, Legislative Assistant
REPORT BACK TO CITY COUNCIL ITGS COMMITIEE:
UPGRADE OF THE VEHICLE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
On June 5, 2012, the City Council instructed the Department of General Services (GSD) with
input from the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD)
and Information Technology Agency (ITA) to report back on options for upgrading or replacing
the City's current Vehicle Management System (VMS) and related motor pool and fuel
management systems with new technologies to improve efficiencies and reduce costs (CF 120821). On February 12, 2013 the Departments reported back to Innovation, Technology and
General Services Committee (lTGS) with a preliminary report outlining the cost for the staffing,
purchase and implementation of VMS, Motor Pool Management System (MPMS) and the Fuel
Management System (FMS).
BACKGROUND
On May 14, 2013, ITGS directed GSD, ITA, LAPD, LAFD, and the City Administrative Officer
(CAO) to report back with a detailed implementation plan including system costs, staffing needs,
and to address LAPD security concerns. City Council approved ITGS' directiori to the
departments on May 28,2013.
The original February 2013 report included an implementation plan that tasked AssetWorks with
hosting the VMS for 16 months, with ITA acquiring that responsibility after that time. Hosting
entails the day-to-day system administration of VMS however; the plan submitted by
AssetWorks did not include the security requirement needed by LAPD. Once LAPD's
requirements were included, the cost of hosting the system increased by $1.5 million resulting in
a budget overage.
To reduce the hosting costs, the departments reviewed several other hosting options and
determined that the mostcost-effective strategy for hosting the system would be for ITA to host
the system from the beginning of the project. This strategy addresses LAPD security concerns
and provides a substantially less expensive hosting option (Attachment1).
HonorableBobBlumenfield
VMS Report
April 10,2014
Concurrent to submitting the report to ITGS, GSD completed a budget request for FY 13/14 for
$3,1 million which was the cost originally submitted by the vendor for system implementation
and hosting for three years for the VMS and installation and implementation of the MPMS. The
budget request was approved and the funding was placed in the Un-appropriated Balance.
However, the budget request did not include funding for positions or for communication
equipment that the City must purchase for installation to begin.
VMS Project Plan
To generate a scope of work for the upgrade of VMS, AssetWorks provided the user
departments a document outlining the benefits of the upgrade, specific system modifications
and replacement and implementation strategies. The user departments reviewed the
documentation provided and in turn drafted comprehensive user requirements that must be
included in the project and submitted them to AssetWorks for inclusion in the project. The
combination of these documents has resulted in a Statement of Work for which the project will
be based (Attachment2).
Contracting
AssetWorks is the City's contractor for the current version of VMS, and has worked with the City
since its inception in 1996. During this time, AssetWorks has performed needed system
maintenance and regular annual maintenance upgrades to the system, as well as, worked with
the user departments to customize the system so that VMS addresses the requirements of each
of the user departments. The expertise and knowledge that AssetWorks has exhibited over the
years has led the user departments to recommend that AssetWorks perform the VMS upgrade.
To expedite the contracting process, GSD is working with the City Attorney's Office to piggyback
on the Federal Government's current, General Services Administration contract with
AssetWorks.
Funding
AssetWorks has submitted a proposal of $2,998,894 (Attachment3) to complete the upgrade of
VMS. This proposal amount includes a 50% discount that AssetWorks has applied in
anticipation of the City expediting the start of the project. The proposal includes software,
hardware, maintenance, services and travel for three years. The AssetWorks proposal does not
include the cost for VMS hosting. As previously stated, based on LAPD security requirements,
it is anticipated that ITA will host the system from the beginning of the VMS implementation.
The cost for ITA to host the system will be $586,854 for the first year and $383,187 for each
subsequent year. ITA has completed a budget request for this funding for FY 14/15.
Because the vendor is offering a 50% discount based on expediting the start of the project, it is
imperative that the project go forward immediately. While ITA has requested funding in the
14/15 budget, it is crucial to ensure that funding is available even if ITA's budget request is not
approved. As a result, it is recommended that project funds of $586,854 be transferred from the
third year of the vendor's ServicelTravel allocation, and placed into ITA accounts to pay for
hardware, software, staffing training and infrastructure.
If it does become necessary to utilize the third year funding for ITA's implementation process, it
is recommended that the funding be replaced through a budget request that will be submitted in
FY 15/16. The budget submittal will provide funding to ITA for its positions for subsequent years
and will seek to replenish the third year vendor funding.

Honorable Bob Blumenfield
VMS Report
April 10, 2014
Additionally, GSD will complete a budget request for FY 15/16 for $15,000 for communication
equipment required for the MPMS.
implementation
The upgrade of the VMS will be completed in six phases over a 20-month period. This phasing
will allow AssetWorks to focus on each individual user department's operations, work-flows and
requirements as the implementation progresses. The phases are as follows:
1. Phase 1: City-Wide Implementation - Overall project management,
interface development and enhancements.
M5 installation,
2.
Phase 2: GSD Implementation - Systems application upgrade at all GSD facilities,
including system design, data conversion, system setup and configuration and user
training.
3.
Phase 3: LAFD Implementation - Implementation of the upgraded application at all
LAFD facilities, including system design, data conversion, system setup and
configuration and user training.
4.
Phase 4: LAPD Implementation - Implementation of the upgraded application at all
LAPD facilities, including system design, data conversion, system setup and
configuration and user training.
5.
Phase 5: MPMS Implementation - Installation of Motor Pool Management System
controllers at seven City of Los Angeles locations, configuration of the Motor Pool
modules and user training.
6.
Phase 6: Capital Asset Management (CAM) Implementation - Implementation of the
integrated CAM application, including system design, user training and data loading.
Staffing
GSD, LAPD, LAFD and ITA are requesting positions as outlined in Attachment 4a to support the
VMS upgrade and MPMS. These positions are required for the implementation, end user
training, continued information technology support, system administration,
management
reporting and analysis for fleet operations. All three departments have submitted a budget
request for FY 14/15 for the positions required.
CONCLUSION
GSD, ITA, LAPD, and LAFD, agree that the VMS upgrade should go forward and have worked
closely to identify funding strategies, to assist in the generation of an implementation plan, and
to develop system requirements to ensure the success of the project. However, even with the
collaboration between the departments the project cannot go forward without the funding and
the allocation of positions that have been outlined in the recommendation section below.

Honorable Bob Blumenfield
VMS Report
April 10, 2014
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. If GSD or LAPD's FY14/15 budget request for positions are not approved, instruct the CAO
to work with GSD, ITA, and LAPD to allocate positions and identify funding for VMS
implementation and subsequent ongoing maintenance of the system.
2. Authorize GSD, ITA, LAFD and LAPD to hire staff once funding is identified and positions
allocated.
3. If ITA's FY 14/15 budget request for staffing, software/hardware, and equipment is not
approved authorize the Controller to transfer $343,225 to ITA's account for contractual
services and $181,629 to ITA's 6010 account for software/hardware and $53,000 to ITA's
7300 account for equipment from the Un-appropriated Balance.
4. Authorize ITA to hire staffing and/or a contractor required to host the VMS project.
5. Authorize ITA to purchase equipment, hardware and software required to host the VMS.
6.
Instruct CAO to work with GSD, ITA, and LAPD to identify $586,854 to replenish 3040
funding used by ITA for staffing and equipment in FY 13/14. Once this funding is identified
authorize the Controller to transfer the funds to GSD's 3040 account.
7.
Instruct the CAO to identify $15,000 needed to purchase communication equipment required
to implement MPMS.
8. Authorize GSD, ITA, LAPD, and LAFD to enter into a contract with AssetWorks for
implementation and maintenance of VMS and MPMS.
9. Instruct the CAO to work with LAFD to allocate positions and identify funding For VMS
implementation and subsequent ongoing maintenance of the system.

COMMENTS
The Information Technology Agency (ITA) is requesting authority to execute Amendment No.1 to
Supplemental Agreement No, 1 (Supplemental Agreement) to City Contract C-116087 with Time
Wamer Cable Pacific West LLC doing business as Time Warner Cable (TWC) and Amendment No, 3
(Amendment) to City Contract C-117048 with Qwest Communications Company, LLC doing business
as CenturyLink QCC (CenturyLink) (jointly, "Contracts"),
The proposed Supplemental Agreement and Amendment will (1) continue to provide internet services
at reduced pricing for several large City facilities, including City Hall East, Van Nuys City Hall, and the
Central Library, (2) add "burstable service" internet pricing, which will allow for the increase of internet
bandwidth during unexpected surges in internet usage, (3) revise the rates for specific services
affected by the standardization of tiers and terms across Western regional markets and add rates for
specific internet-related services, and (4) extend the term of the Contracts on a monthly basis by one
year through September 30, 2015 to allow sufficient time to complete a new procurement process
and the transfer of services, if necessary. In addition, the funding for the proposed Supplernental
Agreement with TWC would increase by an additional $1 million, resulting in total maximum
compensation of $3 million. The proposed funding for the Arnendment
lth CenturyLink would not
change.

TWC and CenturyLink were selected as a result of a Request for Proposals (RFP) for internet and
related services conducted by ITA in 2009. Each Contract includes a menu of internet related
services the City can procure, with the most fundamental being the connection of City facilities to the
internet. The City can also purchase cable television services through the TWC Contract. These
Contracts are non-exclusive agreements; when the City requires additional internet services, ITA
requests pricing from both contractors. ITA then utilizes the contractor that provides the lowest priced
services. In some cases, both contractors are asked to be available to provide similar services to
certain facilities to ensure redundancy and increase reliability. In addition to these two Contracts with
TWC and CenturyLink, the City also procures some internet related services through the existing
telecommunications services contract with AT&T California (AT&T, C-112988).
The original Contracts were each executed for a three year term and subsequently amended to
extend the term of the Contracts with a co-termination date. The existing Contract with TWC is for a
term effective October 1,2009 through September 30, 2014. The proposed Supplemental Agreement
will extend the TWC Contract on a monthly basis by one year for a new six-year term effective
through September 30, 2015. The existinq Contract with CenturyLink is for a term effective March 15,
2010 through September 30, 2014. The proposed Amendment will extend the CenturyLink Contract
on a monthly basis by one year for a new term of five years and six and a half months through
September 30, 2015. ITA is beginning a new RFP process for internet services and anticipates that
the contracts with the vendors selected as a result of the new RFP process will begin on or before the
Contracts expire on October 1, 2015.
To date, ITA has expended $1.35 million on the TWC Contract and $232,186 on the CenturyLink
Contract. The current estimated monthly expenditure on these Contracts is $50,000 and $5,000,
respectively, for a total estimated annual expenditure of $660,000. While ITA anticipates expenditures
for CenturyLink will not exceed the existing $2 million maximum compensation amount authorized by
the contract, monthly expenditures for TWC are expected to increase due to the replacement of AT&T
T1 lines by TWC fiber at approximately 97 Fire Stations to provide increased bandwidth at nearly the
same monthly cost. Consequently, ITA estimates that the TWC Contract limit will need to be
increased by $1 million from $2 million to $3 million to cover anticipated expenditures through
September 30, 2015.
TWC and CenturyLink have complied with all applicable City contracting requirements. Charter
Section 1022 does not apply to the Contracts as there is no defined labor component associated with
the provision of internet services. The Mayor waived the Good Faith Effort outreach for the original
Contracts. In accordance with the Los Angeles Administrative Code Section 10.5(a), Council approval
of the proposed Supplemental Agreement and Amendment is required because the term of the
Contracts will exceed three years and the annual expenditure on the Contracts will exceed $139,150.
ITA has sufficient funds budgeted within its Communication Services Account in fiscal year 2013-14
to fund all cable and intemet services, including expenditures through these Contracts as well as
intemet services provided through the telecommunications contract with AT&T. Future fiscal year
Contract expenditures are subject to future appropriation.

RECOMMENDATIONS
That the Council:
1. Approve and authorize the General Manager of the Information Technology Agency, or
designee, to execute Amendment No.1 to Supplemental Agreement No.1 to City Contract C116087 with Time Warner Pacific Cable West LLC, doing business as Time Warner Cable, for
Citywide internet connectivity services, in order to add "burstable service," revise and add
contract pricing, increase maximum compensation by $1 million for a new total contract
compensation not to exceed $3 million, and extend the term of the Contract by one year for a
revised contract term effective six years from October 1, 2009 through September 30, 2015,
subject to the review and approval of the City Attorney; and
2. Approve and authorize the General Manager of the Information Technology Agency, or
designee, to execute Amendment
No. 3 to City Contract C-117048 with Qwest
Cornmunications Company, LLC doing business as CenturyLink QCC for Citywide internet
connectivity services, in order to add "burstable service," revise and add contract pricing, and
extend the term of the Contract by one year for a revised contract term effective five years and
six and a half months from March 15, 2010 through September 30, 2015, subject to the review
approval of the City Attorney.
FISCAL IMPACT STATEMENT
Upon approval, execution of this contract could result in anticipated combined expenditures of nearly
$660,000 annually on City Contract C-116087 with Time Warner Cable and City Contract C-117048
with CenturyLink. The Information Technology Agency Communication
Services Account is
anticipated to have sufficient budgeted funds to cover these Contract expenditures. Since budgeted
funds are available in 2013-14 and future payments are subject to future appropriation, the
recommendations provided in this report are in compliance with the City's Financial Policies.

These amendments will provide the City with "Burstable Service" which will mitigate the
impacts on City's internet services due to unexpected surges and extend the terrn of the
contracts up to one year to complete the new procurement process and transfer
services if necessary.
Background
The City entered into a three-year contract with Tirne Warner effective October 1, 2009,
and with CenturyLink on March 15, 2010 that provided the City with two independent
Internet connections with fault protection and sufficient capacity to meet the City's
Internet needs at City Hall East and the Marvin Braude Center in Van Nuys. The
internet services covered under these contracts are critical to the City's daily business.
The contracts also provide cable TV, cable modem, point to point data connections and
telephone services for exclusive franchise of the Playa Del Rey not covered in the AT&T
nor Verizon service area. These services are utilized by all Council Controlled
Departments and are funded either through ITA's budget allocation or from interdepartmental transfers.
The two contracts were subsequently amended to extend the term of the contracts with
a co-termination date of September 2014. ITA is requesting to amend both contracts to
incorporate new lower rates, add "Burstable Service" to allow increase of internet
bandwidth during unexpected surges and extend the current contracts up to one year

on a month to month basis to allow sufficient time to complete a new Request for
Proposals (RFP) and transfer of services if necessary.
The contract limit for each contract is $2,000,000. As of April 2013, ITA has expended
approximately over $1,138,000 on Time Warner and less than $151,000 on CenturyLink
contract. A minor amount had been allocated to other departments for their use.
Currently, ITA's monthly invoices for Tirne Warner and CenturyLink are approximately
$50,000 and $5,000 respectively. ITA does not anticipate any significant increase in
CenturyLink's monthly invoice so the current contract limit for CenturyLink is sufficient.
However, the monthly expenditures with Tirne Warner are expected to increase as
AT&T T1 lines are being replaced with Time Warner fiber at approximately 97 Fire
Stations to provide increased bandwidth at nearly the same monthly cost. Therefore,
ITA estirnates that the Time Warner contract limit will need to be increased to
$3,000,000 to cover anticipated expenditures through September 2015. The execution
of these contract amendments does not obligate the City to utilize all the contractors'
services or all of the allocated funds. The contracts are also subject to termination by
the City if funds are not appropriated for the services in any ensuing fiscal year
commencing July 1.
Both Time Warner and CenturyLink have uploaded the following required documents in
BAVN; CenturyLink's documents have been verified, and approval of Time Warner's
documents by Office of Contract Compliance at Public Works/Bureau of Contract
Administration are pending.

the City's Risk Manager.
The contract amendments have been reviewed and approved by the City Attorney as to

Fiscal Impact Statement
Required funding for these contracts is available in the Information Technology
Agency's fiscal year 2013-2014 Communication Services Account. No additional
funding is required.
Recommendation
That the City Council, subject to the approval of the Mayor, authorize the General
Manager of the Information Technology Agency, or his designee, to execute a personal
services contract amendments with Time Warner and CenturyLink to add "burstable"
service and extend the terms of each contract on a month by month basis through
September 30,2015.

WHEREAS, the City desires to increase the contract limit by $1 million in order to cover

WHEREAS, the City now desires to amend Contract C-116087 to revise the rates for
specific services affected by the standardization initiative and to include additional

1
WHEREAS, all capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have
the same meanings ascribed to them in the Contract.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above premises, and of the covenants and
agreements hereinafter set forth, the parties hereby covenant and agree as follows:
1.
Section 1. Term of Contract is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced as
follows:
1. TERM. The term of this Contract commenced on October 1, 2009 and shall
continue through September 30, 2014. Effective October 1, 2014, the term of
this contract shall automatically be extended on a month to month basis for up to

forth in an applicable SAFE) may not extend beyond the expiration of the
Contract term. Orders for Services under this Contract shall be subject to
termination by the City if funds are not appropriated for the Services in each
ensuing fiscal year commencing July 1. If this Contract is terminated for nonappropriated funds, the City shall provide Contractor with reasonable notice of
any termination along with reasonable detail of the fiscal shortfall.
2.
Section 6. Payment and Compensation, SUbsectiona. Total Contract Expenditure
is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced as follows:
a. Total Contract Expenditure - The City's total obligation under this Contract
shall not exceed $3,000,000 (Three Million Dollars) subject to available funding.
Contractor further understands and agrees that execution of this Contract does
not guarantee that Contractor's personnel will be utilized or that any or all of
these funds will be expended.
3.
Change to Appendix C. Appendix C of the Contract is hereby modified to
include the rates below.
A. STATIC IP PRICING
The following class C static IP pricing will be added to the fiber internet cost
when requested.
Per Class C static IP pricing is $ 149 MRC
B. BURSTABlE SERVICE
Burstable Service can be added to any dedicated internet service defined under
Appendix C. Additional use charges of $20 per Mbps will be added to the MRC
(monthly recurring cost) for such Primary Service Location or Secondary Service
Location, as the case may be.
Charges for Time Warner Cable Dedicated Internet Access with Burst Option
2
("Burstable Service") consist of three (3) components: (a) a nonrecurring
installation charge ("NRC") per connection (unless waived by TWC); (b) a fixed
monthly recurring charge ("MRC") based on the Committed Information Rate
("CIR") specified in this Agreement; and (c) a NRC based on usage to the extent
usage exceeds the CIR in this Agreement. Customer's usage of Burstable
Service is calculated by measuring Customer's Send Traffic and Receive Traffic
every five (5) minutes for the previous five (5) minute period. At the end of each
month, the Send Traffic and Receive Traffic sample sets for that month are
separately ordered from highest to lowest and the top five percent (5%) of
samples are discarded. The highest remaining sample (either Send Traffic or
Receive Traffic) is the ninety-fifth (95th) percentile. If the ninety-fifth (95th)
percentile is a fraction of a megabit, it is rounded to the next full megabit and is
compared to the CIR. If the ninety-fifth (95th) percentile is greater than the CIR,
Customer will, in addition to being billed for the CIR, be billed for the difference
between the CIR and the ninety-fifth (95th) percentile and such difference shall be
billed at the contracted-for price per megabit.
C. REDUNDANT SITE SERVICE
Business solutions for back up or redundant hub site services that facilitate
business continuity are billed as follows:
- Additional Ethemet Virtual Circuits (EVC's) from a given site to an
additional host site will incur a 20% port only fee. No additional
charges will apply to the host site.
Add new pricing provision to reflect "special discount pricing" for LAWA's

options to renew and total compensation not to exceed $4 million for complete and satisfactory
performance of the terms of the Agreement over ten years.
Background
A web content management system (WCMS) allows users to create and manage websites with
relative ease as it does not require programming knowledge. ITA currently uses Stellent, an Oracle
web content management system to create and manage 25 websites for the City (Lacity.org), other
City departments, and elected officials.
ITA has been using Stellent for nearly 10 years. This WCMS is reaching e end of its useful life and
has several functional limitations when compared with newer WCM!Ssin u ing:

•
Stellent can only be used with Internet Explorer 7, which according to ITA is no longer
supported by Microsoft effective April 2014;
., Stellent's proprietary platform restricts rapid deployment of new features and the ability of ITA
to make requested and needed updates to City websites;
• Stellent is installed on the City's server infrastructure and during electrical outages, City
websites have experienced several hours of downtime.
In response to these functional limitations, representatives from the Citywide Information Technology
Policy Committee (ITPC) assessed various proprietary and open source solutions to replace .the
City's current WCMS. This group recommended that an open source web content management
platform, Drupal, was the best fit to meet the City's needs to develop, maintain, and host City
websites.
Proposed Vendor
ITA identified three key requirements for a vendor based on the recommendation for a new WCMS:
•
•
•
Proven experience developing and migrating multiple, interconnected websites to the Drupal
platform;
Proven experience providing training and knowledge transfer to City employees with limited
Drupal knowledge, including technical support services for the migration of selected, priority
City websites to the Drupal platform;
Proven Drupal-dedicated externally-hosted environment for City websites.
Per Charter Section 1022, the Personnel Departrnent determined that this type of work is highly
specialized and of a proprietary nature and that there are no classifications of City employees that
can perform these services. Accordingly, ITA evaluated the services provided by several vendors and
determined that Acquia is the only vendor that satisfied all of the City's requirements for a
replacement WCMS.
As Drupal is an open source platform, the City would benefit from the rapid development of website
building tools, templates, and other new features made available by Drupal contributors, which would
enable City staff to develop and update City websites quickly in response to rapidly changing
departmental operational needs. ITA indicates that Drupal is almost 15 years old and has a large
community of users and developers that contribute to the product's long-term stability and reliability.
Additionally, Acquia is a leading provider of the Drupal platform which is utilized by a multitude of
public and government agencies to manage their websites, including the United States Department of
Justice, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), United States Army, States of Georgia
and Colorado, and various counties and cities.
Proposed Contract Terms
During the first two years of the Agreement, Acquia will develop and migrate three critical City
websites, Lacity.org, LAcityview.org, and Ladotlacity.org to the Drupal platform and externally host
these websites on Acquia's Cloud Site Factory platform and environment. During this time, ITA and
other City department staff responsible for website development and maintenance will receive Drupal

training and participate in the development and migration process, in order to ensure that City staff is
able to develop and migrate remaining City websites to the Drupal platform over the term of the
Agreement.
While the cost of the Agreement is an amount not to exceed $4 million over a term of up to 10 years,
the following chart breaks down the total estimated cost per service along with the estimated duration
of that service:
Description
Development Phase - initial engagement and consulting

websites to the Drupal platform and external hosting
environment, inctudlno tralnino workshops for City staff

$4,000,000
Public, Education, and Government Access (PEG) funding is available in the Telecommunications
Development Account (TDA) for the development phase in years and one two of the Agreement. Use
of PEG funds is restricted by federal law. Since the City can only use those funds for the website
development portion of this work, an alternative funding source will be needed once development is
complete. Possible alternative funding sources in years three to 10 of the Agreement for hosting and
support services may include unrestricted TDA funding or General Funds. The Agreement is subject
to termination if funds are not appropriated for these services in each ensuing fiscal year beginning
July 1.
ITA plans to adopt the Drupal platform and migrate the remaining 22 websites it manages to Acqula's
Cloud Site Factory platform and environment over the term of the Agreement. To ensure continuity of
services, it is recommended that the General Manager of ITA be authorized to extend the term of the
Agreement in one-year increments, for an additional seven years provided that all other terms and
conditions remain the same, funds have been budgeted for this purpose, and all other legal
requirements are met.
In accordance with Los Angeles Administrative Code Section 10.5, City Council approval of the
proposed agreement is required because the term exceeds three years, including seven one-year
options to renew. To the best of our knowledge, Acquia has complied with all City contracting
requirements, policies, and procedures. As this is a sole source contract, a Good Faith Effort (GFE)
outreach is not required.
RECOMMENDATIONS
That the Council:
1. Approve, and authorize the General Manager of the Information Technology Agency to
execute, a professional services agreement with Acquia, lnc., to implement web content
management platform, Drupal, and provide hosting services for City websites, for a three-year

term effective upon the date of execution of the contract, with seven one-year options to
renew, and total compensation not to exceed $4 million over the ten-year term of the
Agreement, subject to the review and approval of the City Attorney; and
2, Authorize the General Manager of the Information Technology Agency to amend the
professional services agreement with Acquia, Inc, to extend the term for an additional seven
years, in one-year increments, so long as all other terms and conditions remain the same,
funds have been budgeted for this purpose, and all other legal requirements are met.
FISCAL IMPACT STATEMENT
Funding for the development phase in years one and two of this Agreement is provided by Public,
Education, and Government (PEG) Access funds in the Telecommunications Development Account
(TDA), Possible alternative funding sources for hosting and support services in years three to 10 of
the Agreement may include unrestricted TDA funding or General Funds. Continuation of this
Agreement is subject to the appropriation of funds in ITA's budget in each ensuing fiscal year
beginning July 1, Accordingly, as budgeted funds will be used to support the proposed expenditures
and expenditures are limited to the appropriation of funds in the budget, the recommendation
provided in this report is in compliance with the City's Financial Policies,

Honorable Eric Garcetti
Mayor, City of Los Angeles
Room 303, City Hall
Los Angeles, CA 90012
Attention: Mandy Morales, Legislative Coordinator
Subject: REQUEST FOR PERSONAIf SERVICES CONTRACT WITH ACQUIA INC.
Dear Mayor Garcetti:
Attached for your review and approval is a three year personal services contract with
seven one-year renewal options with Acquia Inc. to convert City websites to a modern
content management platform (Drupal), as well as provide a secure and robust hosted
environment for those sites.
Background
The City of Los Angeles Information Technology Agency (ITA) currently uses the
Oraclel'Stellent Web Content Management System (Stellent) as a platform for online
access to City information, events, and online services among 25 City websites,
including Lacity.org and Lacityview.org, as well as sites for elected officials and some
departments. It helps facilitate a better interconnection among the websites for resource
and data sharing that includes social media, audio, and video.
However, the Stellent system is ten years old and has limited functionality compared to
newer web content management systems. In addition, can only be used with Internet
Explorer version 7 (obsolete as of April 2014) and is installed on the City's web server
infrastructure that does not have the scalability and staffing support needed to maintain
business-critical websites resulting in multiple website outages over the last year.
The citywide IT Policy Committee conducted a study, which concluded with the
recommendation to replace the Stellent platform with a popular open source solution
known as Drupal that could be implemented at an enterprise level with highly reliable
and available infrastructure supported by expert staff. Furthermore, it was found that
Drupal was already in use by the LA Public Library and many award-winning, highperforming, and high-profile government websites such as the official sites for: City of
Austin, Bay Area Rapid Transit, The White House, Transportation Security
An Equal Employment Opportunity - Affirmative Action Employer

Administration (TSA), Small Business Administration, Department of Homeland Security
(DHS), and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
An enterprise approach to implementing Drupal would allow the City to centrally
manage and host 25 or more websites, and help satisfy the Municipal Access Policy
Board's LA Cityview 35 Strategic Plan (Council File 10-1826), which includes the
following recommendations:
• Proceed with the design and build-out of a website and multi-platform media
applications.
• Channel 35 and MAPB should establish benchmark metrics to indicate the
success of content. Programs that have strong viewership and rankings can be
highlights on the LACity.org homepage. Programs with low viewership should be
taken out of the cable broadcast rotation and maintained as web-only content.
A large, complex, and time-sensitive Drupal implementation such as this requires
expertise and services in three areas:
• Proven experience developing and migrating multiple, interconnected websites
• Proven experience providing training and knowledge transfer to developers (City
employees) with limited Drupal knowledge
• Proven Drupal-dedicated externally-hosted environment that is scalable, robust,
reliable and backed with expert Drupal-platform support
Based on information published by reliable third party sources and a competitive RFP
process recently performed by the Bay Area Rapid Transit, Acquia Inc. is the only
vendor who provides all of these services. Acquia is the largest and only commercial
entity with a dedicated focus on Drupal and the only one with a dedicated 24x7 SLAbased support organization. Only Acquia offers a fully-managed, Cloud-based Drupal
platform (Site Factory) as a service. Acquia is the only Drupal-centric organization that
certifies Drupal on a variety of levels within the public sector. In addition, Acquia's
employees include top Drupal contributors/maintainers, providing expertise not found in
any other organization.
ITA has negotiated an SOW with Acquia to guarantee discounted development and
migration of three critical City websites: Lacity.org, Lacityview.org and Ladot.lacity.org,
to be delivered within a year of contract execution. During that time (expected to be just
under one year), ITA and other City department staff will receive Drupal training and
also participate in the development and migration, with the objective of positioning City
staff so that they can develop and migrate the remaining 22 ITA-managed City
websites.
In addition to development, migration, and training services, the contract also provides
for ongoing hosting and support. It also provides guaranteed pricing for additional
services the City may require during the contract term.
Honorable Eric Garcetti
April 11, 2014

The initial term of this contract shall commence upon contract execution for a three-year
term. ITA requests that the General Manager, or designee, be authorized to approve
extending the contract for an additional seven years, for a total of ten years.
The Personnel Department determined that City employees cannot perform the work
being proposed for contracting as the services are proprietary.
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the draft contract as to form a.
ITA requested the following documents from the vendor:
The Affirmative Action affidavit has been verified by the Office of Contract
Compliance and is valid through 2/11/15
The Non-discrimination/Equal
Employment Practices, Equal Benefits, Slavery
Disclosure, and the First Source Hiring Ordinance affidavits have been uploaded
in www.labavn.org, and verified by the Office of Contract Compliance. Affidavits
are valid thru 1/30/15.
The Contractor Responsibility Questionnaire was verified by the Authorized DAA
Representative in Public Works on 2/4/14.
The Bidder Certification CEC form 50 and the Bidder Contributions CEC form 55
have been completed by the vendor and signed March 2014.
The insurance limits for General Liability, Workers Compensation,
and
Professional Liability have been set and the vendor is in the process of reviewing
and providing their accord.
The headquarters address and workforce information is reported as follows:
25 Corporate Drive
Burlington, MA 01803
0% of the workforce resides in the City.
The vendor has applied for a valid Business Tax Registration Certificate.
Fiscal Impact
The City's obligation for the 10-year term of this Contract shall not exceed
$4,000,000.00 (Four million dollars). The development phase of this project (years 1-2)
is estimated at $1,041,689. The remaining contract amount would cover annual hosting
and support for subsequent years, as well as a contingency for additional consulting
services.
Honorable Eric Garcetti
April 11, 2014
Page 4
The development phase of this project is funded by the Public, Education and
Government (PEG) Access funds within the Telecommunications Development Account
Fund. ITA expects to use unrestricted TDA funding or General Fund for subsequent
annual hosting fees (years 3-10) and will request these funds in the subsequent fiscal
year. Continuation of this contracted service will be subject to the approval of this
funding in ITA's budget.
A Project Manager in the Technology Services Bureau of ITA will administer this
contract.
Recommendation
That the General Manager of the Information Technology Agency, or his designee, be
authorized:
1. To execute a three year personal services contract with seven one-year renewal
options with Acquia Inc. to convert City websites to a modern content management
platform (Drupal) and to provide on-going hosting and support for the sites.; and
2. To approve up to seven (7) one-year contract extensions for a total of 10 years, and
a contract maximum of $4,000,000.

1. PROJECT BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTION
The City of Los Angeles Information Technology Agency (ITA) currently uses the
Oraclelfstellent Web Content Management
System (Stellent) to support
approximately 25 City websites, including Lacity.org, as well as sites for elected
officials and some departments. The Stellent software has limited functionality
compared to newer web content management systems, can only be used with
Internet Explorer 7 (obsolete as of April 2014), and is installed on the City's
server infrastructure that does not have the scalability and staffing support
needed to support business-critical websites.
The City has selected Drupal content management software to replace Stellent
and requires expert support for its implementation, as well as an externallyhosted environment for City websites that is scalable, robust, and reliable.
This contract (between CITY and CONTRACTOR) provides the training and
development services needed to support the migration of selected, priority City
websites to the Drupal platform. It also provides for Acquia to host the City's
websites on Acquia's Site Factory platform and environment.

Name of Project: Los Angeles Site Factory Enablement, Training, Build and Implementation
Background: The City of Los Angeles Information Technology Agency (ITA) currently uses Oraclelstellent Web
Content Management System (Stellent) as a platform for online access to City information, events, and online services
among 25 City websites, including Lacity.org and Lacityview.org, as well as sites for elected officials and some
departments. It helps facilitate a better interconnection among the websites for resource and data sharing that includes
social media, audio, and video. However, the Stellent system now has limited functionality compared to newer web
content management systems, can only be used with Internet Explorer & (obsolete as of April 2014), and is installed
on the City's server infrastructure that does not have the scalability and staffing support needed to maintain businesscritical websites.
To complete this critical and time-sensitive system replacement project, and in furtherance of the Municipal Access
Policy Board's LA Cityview 35 Strategic Plan (Council File 10-1826), the City has selected the Drupal content
management software to replace stellent. An enterprise approach to implementing Drupal would allow the City to
centrally manage and host 25 or more websites, and help satisfy proposed LA Cityview 35 strategic plan
recommendations that include:
•
•
Proceed with the design and build-out of a website and multi-platform media applications.
Channel 35 and MAPB should establish benchmark metrics to indicate the success of content.
Description of Project: Client has engaged Acquia to provide services as the Client establishes Site Factory (the
"Platform"). The objective of this project is to replace three (3) existing websites (Iacity.org, lacityview.org and
ladoUacity.org) with current site functionality, while educating and training the Client's staff in a manner that will enable
them to develop and implement the remaining Client websites. To best support these objectives, Acquia will leverage
the most efficient combination of workshops, fixed delivery, and consulting services that meet delivery and enablement
goals.
Project Scope: The following outlines the agreed upon scope for this Project:
1.
Acguia Workshops:
Acquia workshops are specifically created to provide high quality enablement and hands-on learning experiences
specific to Client's applications. Acquia has included the following workshops and scope as part of this Project: .
1.1. Architecture Workshop: An Acquia Technical Consultant will work with the Client team for four (4) days in
workshop sessions to further define the specific architecture for the fixed delivery Acquia Cloud Site Factory
build for lacity.org, lacityview.org and ladoUacity.org (the "Sites"). The scope of this Architecture Workshop
will focus on three (3) major areas: requirements review, component architecture and high-level design, and
content-type architecture.
1.1.1. Scope: Acquia will cover the following during this Architecture Workshop:
1.1.2. Requirements review. As a foundation for the architecture, Acquia and Client will review the
scope of the Sites. The parties will elaborate high-level requirements for the system including the
overall capabilities of the web system and integrations with any external systems that the web
system will integrate with.
1.1.3. Component architecture and high level design. The Acquia Technical Consultant will lead
component architecture and high-level design sessions with the Client to identify the major
components of the new system and identify how the system capabilities will break down in to
Drupal modules. The high level design will also include the following activities:
1.1.3.1. Drupal module selection. Once the high-level requirements have been identified and the
capabilities mapped to Drupal modules, Acquia will work with Client to select available
Drupal core and contributed modules that provide the basis for any features of the Sites
that can be implemented using existing capabilities. The module selection effort will
Last Updated
4f11/2014
include a gap analysis to determine how modules will need to be adapted to provide the
specific requirements of the new system.
The component architecture will also define the integration points with any external
systems and define the approach for integration including the message format and
protocol for the integration. Note that for the fixed delivery component of this SOW, all
integrations not defined in Exhibit E Integration Assumptions will be done via IFRAME or
links to external resources.
1.1.4. Content architecture. The core of any Drupal site is the definition of content types and their
categorization. The content architecture includes defining the content types, views required for
the content types, taxonomies for categorizing content, and workflows for publishing each
content type. Acquia will facilitate the development of the content architecture with subject
matter experts from the Client team.
1.1.5. Delivery Period: Four (4) business days.
1.1.6. Consulting Level of Effort: One (1) Acquia Technical Consultant on-site for four (4) business days.
1.1.7. Deliverables. Acquia will provide an Architecture and Design Document describing the recommended
architecture and high-level design aspects for the Sites. The document will include sections describing
each of the major areas covered in the Architecture Workshop.
1.2. Site Factory JumpStart Workshop: An Acquia Technical Consultant will provide instruction and hands-on
mentoring on several essential topics for configuring and developing with Site Factory.
1.2.1. Delivery Period: Two (2) weeks
1.2.2 Consulting Level of Effort: One (1) Technical Consultant on-site for four (4) business days per week
for two (2) weeks.
1.2.3 Deliverables:. Acquia will provide to Client, a two (2) page minimum high-level summary that outlines
topics covered during the Site Factory JumpStart Workshop and links to information referenced during
the Site Factory JumpStart Workshops applicable. No other formal deliverables are included in the Site
Factory JumpStart Workshop.
1.2.4 Staff: One (1) Acquia Technical Consultant
1.2.5 Location: On-site with Client
1.2.6 Sample Workshop Agenda: See Exhibit B Sample Workshop Agendas
1.3Site Factory Theming Workshop:
An Acquia Technical Consultant will work with the Client team to
customize the look and feel of the Acquia Site Factory sites (the "Theme"). Acquia will utilize a base theme
during the first week and will work hands-on with the Client to customize the Theme during the second week.
1.3.1 Delivery Period: One (1) week.
1.3.2 Consulting Level of Effort: One (1) Acquia Technical Consultant on-site for four (4) days
1.3.3 Deliverable: Acquia will provide a two (2) page minimum high-level summary that outlines what was
covered during the Site Factory Theming Workshop and links to other information referenced during
the Site Factory Theming Workshop as applicable. No other formal deliverables are included in this
Site Factory Theming Workshop.
1.3.4 Staff: One (1) Acquia Technical Consultant
1.3.5 Location: On-site with Client.
1.3.6 Sample Workshop Agenda: See Exhibit B Sample Workshop Agendas

2.1.2. Quality Assurance
Planning & Testing: Acquia will develop test charters during each sprint to
address the features developed in that sprint. Those charters will be used to guide work performed and
confirm quality at the end of the sprint. The test charters are the documentation and high-level orienting
for the test cases of how the system is supposed to work. They are used to orient the way in which the
system is tested by end users. The aim is to provide a test charter that covers the human centric
testing steps covered in each sprint. All issues reported will be tracked and prioritized using JIRA, a
ticketing and bug tracking software. During the implementation, Acquia will implement automated tests
for functional tickets and run tests to ensure there are no regressions.
2.1.3. End User Browser Support: This estimate includes theming and testing for the end user experience
for the following browsers at the time of launch. Note that should the Client make any changes to the
Sites, retesting for browsers will need to be completed at the theming layer and is not included in the
scope of this SOW.
2.1.3.1. Internet Explorer - version 9 and newer
2.1.3.2. Firefox - version 24 and newer
2.1.3.3. Chrome - version 30 and newer
2.1.3.4. Safari - version 6 and newer
2.1.4. Administrative
User Browser Support: This estimate assumes that content administrators will use
the most recent version of Chrome, Firefox or IE to access administrative features through the Acquia
Cloud Site Factory application.
last Updated 4f11/2014

2.1.5. In-Scope Development:
This estimate assumes that on-site features such as page editing, sitemap,
calendar, news mentions, will be developed leveraging Drupal contributed modules. Acquia is providing
a list of modules in Exhibit C In-Scope Modules that are considered in-scope. Should the Client request
any additional features or functionality that cannot be supported through contributed modules, Acquia
will provide an alternate recommendation or an estimate which may include additional costs associated
with development of the feature.
2.1.6. Integrations:
This estimate assumes that the current integrations linking to or referencing off-site
resources will be maintained during this implementation. Acquia will leverage iframe inclusions (e.g.,
iframe to embed lacity.granicus.com video lists) and simple href links that navigate the' user to external
sites. Client will provide Acquia with all required iframe and href links.
2.1.7. Content and Data Migration: This estimate assumes that Acquia will migrate the content and data
outlined in Exhibit D LA City Migration Information. Client will provide Acquia with the following content
migration artifacts prior to migration execution: export files in a structured data format (e.g., XML, csv,
JSON) with supporting documentation on schema and field values.
2.1.8. Project Management: Acquia will provide a Project Manager who will be responsible for maintaining
the JIRA ticketing system for purposes of managing the development team and this fixed price effort.
The Acquia Engagement Manager will provide weekly reports outlining work completed, work
upcoming, issues and concerns, and information needed from the Client.
2.1.9. User Acceptance Testing (UAT): The user acceptance testing will be completed by the Client and will
be based on the approved test charters for the project build. Any items not included in the functional
test plans are not considered in-scope for the project and would require a change order and additional
funding. All issues or bugs will be tracked using JIRA. To review UAT, Acquia will conduct a two (2) day
UAT session where all requirements are reviewed collaboratively with the Client. This session may be
remote or on-site.
2.1.10.
Load Testing: Acquia will conduct cloud-based load testing on lacity.org to include the following
scope. Additional sites, tests or requirements are not included in this estimate. The following scope is
sufficient to test the load and performance of site traffic expectations outlined in Exhibit F Site Traffic
Requirements.
2.1.10.1.

Optional Sprint Support: Upon Client's request, Acquia can provide optional support after the launch of the initial
three (3) sites. This support can be provided on an hourly or fixed basis and will be subject to a separate SOW or
change request This estimate does not include any post-delivery implementation support.
5.
Period of Performance and Scheduling: Acquia recommends a contractual period of performance of ten (10
months to allow for planning, lead time and project transition. This Project is estimated to take eight (8) months.
Acquia requires a lead-time of four (4) weeks prior to starting work and prior to scheduling a workshop/phased
activity. This schedule is subject to change by mutual agreement between the Client and Acquia. Exhibit A Sample
Schedule outlines a draft schedule for in-scope activities.
6.
Team Responsibilities: Each party shall designate a project leader to whom all matters relating to the Services
will be addressed. Client agrees to respond to requests from Acquia for approvals, decisions or other actions in
connection with the performance of Acquia's obligations under this SOW within a reasonable period of time. The

Assumptions:
7.1. Any delay in Acquia's performance that is caused by the Client then such delay will result in a day-for-day
extension to complete the Services. Further, if any material issues arise during the performance of the
Services that were not expressly contemplated by the parties and delays Acquia's ability to complete the
Services in the time frame outlined above, the parties agree to promptly meet in good faith and make
reasonable adjustments, as appropriate, to the timeframe and costs for completing the Services. Delays
caused by such late dependencies will be managed through an amendment to this SOw.
7.2. This estimate assumes that the Client will conduct UAT based on agreed upon requirements. Client agrees to
complete UAT in a timely manner per the project schedule. Any delays caused by Client review during the
designated UAT period may result in additional costs.
7.3. Client will review any Deliverable and report any defects to Acquia within five (5) days of release. If no
feedback is received by Acquia within this period of time, the Deliverable shall be deemed to be accepted.
7.4. This estimate does not include support, hosting, Acquia Cloud Site Factory subscription, or ongoing
development and maintenance activities. Acquia assumes those requirements and costs will be covered
under a separate statement of work (SOW).
7.5. Acquia has quoted ongoing engagement management consulting services on a part time basis. Should
additional services or scope outside of that outlined in this proposal be required, or should the project
timeline extend, Acquia will provide an estimate for additional fees.
7.6. Should Client engage a third party, Acquia shall not be responsible for the delivery of work provided or delays
due to such third party.
7.7. All work may be completed remotely unless otherwise specified in this SOW. Client availability for daily stand-
Last Updated 4/11/2014

up meetings, ongoing collaboration and virtual and/or in person demos is critical to the success of this effort.
For on-site efforts, Client will provide a conference room for workshop space, a projector, and internet
access.
7.S. Travel costs are covered within the listed project fees, based on travel assumptions identified for each project
activity (i.e., On-site, Remote). In-scope on-site meetings have been outlined in the scope section of this
SOw. Any additional meetings, in-person training, or on-site request will require a revised estimate and
additional costs to Client.
7.9. Client will provide Acquia with access to all systems required by Acquia to perform the Services. Acquia
agrees to comply with Client's reasonable written security procedures provided to Acquia prior to the
provision of the Services.
7.10. The Services will commence following the execution of this SOW and with four (4) weeks lead time (or as
otherwise mutually agreed by the parties). Client understands that should this SOW not being agreed and
signed off in a timely manner that there is an increased risk that the expected schedule of work is subject to
delay.
7.11. Acquia will manage the schedule for the tasks related to this SOw. Outside of those tasks, Client is expected
to manage development schedules.
7.12. Client has purchased a subscription to Acquia
provisioned use of Acquia Cloud Site Factory
Site Factory under a separate
cover, or has otherwise
7.13. Acquia recommends that Client utilize a content delivery network ("CDN") for all high traffic or high profile
sites. A CDN is not included in this estimate, but upon request from Client, Acquia shall, in conjunction with
one of Acquia's CDN partners, provide a separate estimate for a CDN.
7.14. Acquia will assign resources to workshops based on skills and capabilities required to best meet the needs
of the workshops. Client may inform Acquia of preferences, but individuals are not guaranteed contractually.
If Client has a performance concern with an assigned Acquia employee, Client must notify the designated
professional services contact within two (2) business days of the concern. Acquia will work collaboratively
with Client to address any concerns or assign a new team member. If a new team member is assigned,
Acquia will work with the Client to adjust scheduling and re-perform any necessary work.
7.15. Workshop
Assumptions
7.15.1.
Client will provide the Acquia team with access to all offices and systems required by Acquia to
perform its work. The Acquia team will follow Client procedures required for access.
7.15.2.
Client participants have basic working knowledge of Drupal and/or related technologies.
For
purposes of this SOW, "basic working knowledge" is defined as understanding
of a content
management
system (CMS) and front-end coding experience and/or other web development
experience. Client acknowledges that the more familiar Client is with Drupal, the more that can be
accomplished in workshops and sprints.
7.16. Fixed Delivery
7.16.1.
Services
Assumptions
Client will provide any applicable documentation of existing requirements, designs, and constraints
that may be required by Acquia to complete the scope of the Fixed Delivery Services, at the start of the
Project. Should any requirements alter the in-scope requirements for this Project, Acquia will provide
alternate recommendations or a revised effort estimate and related costs.
7.16.2.
This estimate assumes that the Client will use their Other Direct Cost (ODC) budget to purchase
required software tools which may include, but are not limited to: JIRA, QA testing tools, and other
resources required for implementation.
7.16.3.
Site migration assumptions: The migration components of this estimate were based on information
provided by the Client as outlined in Exhibit D LA City Migration Information. Should any details or
requirements change, Acquia will need to review and provide a revised estimate of effort and costs.
7.16.3.1.
This estimate assumes that Acquia will be responsible for all theming efforts, and
that no designs or comprehensives will be provided to us; rather, our theming work will
reflect as close as reasonably possible the Information Architecture (IA) and designs on
the existing sites.
7.16.3.2.
This estimate assumes that the current integration
implementation
linking to or
referencing off-site resources will be maintained during this implementation. Acquia will
leverage iframe inclusions (e.g., iframe to embed lacity.granicus.com
video lists) and
simple href links that navigate the user to external sites. This estimate assumes that the
last Updated 4/11/2014
6
Client will provide all iframe and href links required to achieve these links.
7.16.3.3.
Acquia assumes that Client will provide the following content migration artifacts
prior to migration execution: export files in a structured data format (e.g., XML, CSV,
JSON) with supporting documentation on schema and field values. Client will provide
Acquia with documentation that outlines the mapping .of content to be migrated from the
current platform to the defined Drupal content types.
7.16.3.4.
This estimate assumes Client will require approximately 3-5 roles (or permission
schemes) for site administrators.
7.16.3.5.
This estimate assumes that all Client Site feeds can be supported via a periodic
pull (hourly to daily). Additionally, this estimate assumes that we will have access to the
relevant Client technical support teams and documentation for the feed schema and field
values.
7.16.3.6.
For the ContacUacity.org contact form and other third party integrations, this
estimate assumes that Acquia will have access to the relevant technical staff (e.g., to
ensure proper connectivity to lacity.contact.cfm) and documentation. This estimate does
not include any integration with custom systems other than linking, iframe or href links.
This estimate does not include any alterations or support of external systems unless
otherwise specifically noted in Exhibit E Integration Assumptions.
7.16.3.7.
This estimate assumes that the existing, live LA City, LA CityVlew, and LA DOT
sites as publicly available on 1/10/2014 represent the functionality and design to guide
the rebuild with Drupal. This estimate assumes the core benefits of Drupal and Acquia
Cloud Site Factory and that both parties will be flexible to leverage Drupal benefits and
deviate from the current state when mutually agreeable. If adjustments to the design are
made, Acquia will review adjustments with Client to determine if a Change Request is
required.
7.16.3.8.
This estimate assumes end-user support for modern web browsers (i.e., Internet
Explorer - version 9 and newer; Firefox - version 24 and newer; Chrome version 30 and
newer; Safari - version 6 and newer).
7.16.3.9.
This estimate assumes that site content administrators will use the most recent
versions of Chrome, Firefox or IE.
7.16.3.10.
This estimate assumes that JIRA will be the single issue tracking tool used to track
all technical work, updates, bugs or requests.
7.16.3.11.
This estimate assumes the City will provide Section 508 testing and provide
feedback via JIRA for any theming adjustments required.
7.16.3.12.
Exhibit E Integration Assumptions outlines all integration assumptions for the three
(3) in-scope websites.
7.16.3.13.
Versioning is possible within Drupal but configuration of version control monitoring
for Client's specific use case has not been sized or included in this estimate. Acquia will
provide a revised estimate once additional information is available on this requirement.
8.

Acquia understands that Client is interested in
replacinglintegrating internal Cold Fusion, Forms, and integration
with database systems. Acquia will allocate 1/2 of one day of the
Architecture workshop to review the current setup of this feature
and assess if the modules listed in Appendix C: In-Scope
Modules can replace the internal ColdFusion, Forms, or
integration with database systems. If not, the City will either
maintain the current setup, or modify it as necessary to be able
to use the modules listed in Appendix C: In-Scope Modules.

Responsive Design - Complicated CSS &
javascript to change design between
desktop and mobile screen size. Current
responsive design considers screens
measuring 480px width or smaller and
provides fixed width elements. Using

There does not appear to be any significantly high traffic within an hour for the year 2013, So far, the
only event that created a significant impact to a City website was in July 2009 where logs showed
that there were up to 5,006 hits to a particular file within one hour and up to 178 hits within a minute
for the same file,

This occurrence was due to media coverage of the Mayor's Office asking for online donations to help
pay for the cost of the City providing public safety services for a large special event

REMOTE SITE ADMINISTRATION. Remote site administration services are included in Elite and Enterprises Support
Subscriptions and Site Factory PaaS Tier Subscriptions and may be purchased as an add-on service to Pro Plus Support
Subscriptions if indicated on Client's Order.
Acquia's remote site administration ("RA") service provides for Acquia to handle typical and routine administration tasks by remote
access and includes normal maintenance tasks and minor Website modifications that would typically be handled by an on-site
administrator for a fully designed and operating website. Requests are submitted to Acquia in the manner set forth in Section 9.
Acquia will perform RA services from its own premises using remote electronic access to Client's systems and accounts. Client will
provide Acquia with administrative level access to all non-production systems and accounts required to perform the RA tasks.
Client agrees to properly protect systems and electronic files unrelated to the performance of Acquia's tasks by using different
administrative accounts having different passwords and other security measures as needed to limit the access of Acquia's remote
administrator to just the systems required to perform the services. RA services are provided for the Website(s) and major Drupal
version(s) listed on Client's Order.
Website modification tasks are limited to those that may be accomplished within the Average RA Service Hours. Website
modification tasks include making minor and occasional functionality adjustments typically needed for an operating site. Site
modification tasks outside this scope of services need to be handled by Client, through Acquia's Professional Services at additional
cost, or through a third-party.
Acquia will perform services for Client's Website(s) running on the Client system architecture. Acquia requires access to one or
more developmentltesting servers to facilitate the testing and deployment of updates in connection with this service. Acquia will
assist with configuring three QNdevelopmentitest servers to support the test and deployment process using a code repository and
revision control.
Client's understands that the Website(s) include various interoperating technology components, including but not limited to an
operating system, database, web server, Drupal core modules, and customized Drupal extensions. It is also understood by Client
that in performing the services, and speclfically providing Drupal and website administration, updates, patches, changes and
improvements to anyone of the components may affect the operation of any or all of the other components. When such an event
occurs, Acquia will utilize the most recent backups of the Website(s) to restore the Website(s) to a prior version.
Client is entitled to a maximum of ten (10) RA services hours per month per Subscription. RA Service hours greater than the
maximum may result in a fee adjustment.

2.5 Backup and Disaster Recovery for Acquia Cloud Enterprise and Site Factory
2.5.1
Data Centers. Acquia Cloud Enterprise and the Site Factory Platform utilizes Amazon's AWS infrastructure, which is
physically remote from Acquia office facilities. A disaster affecting one or more of Acquia's offices would not impact
the availability of Client Websites or the security of Client data. Amazon's Web Services CAWS") environment
consists of major Regions and Availability Zones. AWS Availability Zones are separate yet interconnected data
centers within major Regions in Amazon's global AWS infrastructure. Acquia Cloud Enterprise and the Site Factory
Platform utilize a highly available redundant architecture which distributes replicated redundant server types (load
balancing, caching, web and database servers) across multiple Availability Zones within the same Region. Acquia
will use best efforts to restore the services in an alternate Availability Zone within the same Region (or alternate
Region if multi-Region Failover service has been purchased) in the event service in Client's assigned Availability
Zone (or Region) is severely impacted.
2.5.2
Backups. Acquia will maintain a comprehensive database backup solution which includes, without limitation, website
code, static assets/files, and databases. Integrated backup facilities utilize Amazon's Elastic Block Store and Simple
Storage Service. Acquia will automatically export MYSQL database one time per day and retain these backups for
three days. Additionally, for Acquia Cloud Enterprise only, Client may make on-demand backups of any database at
any time on the workflow tab of the Acquia Cloud UI, or via SSH/SCP. Acquia will retain these on-demand backups
for Acquia Cloud Enterprise customers until Client chooses to delete them and such back up will count against the
storage space of Client's account.
Client may download these database backups as weI! as restore a previous

backup on the Backups tab of the Acquia Cloud UI. At the Drupal code layer, Client developed code may be
managed and deployed by Client via Acquia's Subversion (SVN or Git) code repository service (only Gil is applicable
to Site Factory PaaS subscriptions). This service allows for roll back and re-deployment of Drupal code, effectively
backing up the Drupal layer so that the site code may be re-deployed to a new web server instance as needed. In
addition, Acquia conducts daily backups of Website(s) files and maintains a complete and current copy of each
Website which will be used in the event the Website must be restored by Acquia due to failure of fault of the Service.
These backups are performed as follows: daily over the previous week, weekly over the previous month, and
monthly thereafter.
2.5.3
Disaster Recovery. Acquia Cloud Enterprise and the Site Factory Platform make internal disaster recovery
snapshots of all Client data every hour and retains these snapshots on a diminishing schedule for three months. In
the unlikely event of a total data center loss or a loss of multiple disk systems, these backups will be used to restore
Client Website(s) at another location within the same Region. Acquia does not provide Client access to these
backups and will not use these snapshots to restore sites due to data-loss or deletion by Client.
2.6 Server Capacity.
2.6.1
Emergency Capacity. Client agrees that should Acquia become aware that the third party servers assigned to
Client's usage become overloaded due to greater than normal usage, Acquia will so notify Client and will take
reasonable actions to increase the server capacity in an effort to maintain site performance,
Client agrees that
Acquia can unilaterally elect to add capacity up to three times the contracted capacity and that for Acquia Cloud
Enterprise customers only, the excess capacity will remain provisioned for a minimum of five (5) calendar days. The
For Acquia Cloud Enterprise subscriptions, such additional capacity will be billed at then current daily rates. For Site
Factory subscriptions, additional capacity will be billed based on Acquia's current pricing per 1,000 page views per
month set forth in Client's Order. Acquia will also make reasonable efforts to contact Client when it is determined a
server upgrade is needed. Acquia reserves the right to not provision additional server capacity if it determines that
additional capacity is unlikely to significantly improve performance, including, without limitation, when the overload is
caused by an error in Client's software (e.q., PHP code), Client's configuration of the Site Factory Platform, Site
Factory Platform Drupal Instance, Client Drupal Instance or during a denial-of-service attack. Acquia reserves the
right to bill Client for traffic associated with a denial-of-service attack.
2.6.2
Additional Capacity Requested by Acqula Cloud Enterprise Clients only. Clients may request Acquia to
increase their server capacity at any time. Any Client requests for provisioninq additional servers will be billed at the
then current daily rates for a minimum of five (5) calendar days. If Client requests additional capacity for two
consecutive
2.6.3
months, such capacity will remain at such level unless Client requests otherwise in writing to Acquia.
Page View Tracking for Site Factory. Subscriptions. Client agrees to allow Acquia to place a Google Analytics
tracking code (or a mutually agreed upon equivalent) on each page of Website(s) to track page views per month
across all Website(s) for Site Factory Platform management and billing purposes.
2.7 Service Level Agreement for Acquia Cloud Enterprise and Site Factory Hosting Services

SUMMARY
In April 2013, the Council instructed the Information Technology Agency (ITA) to develop and
implement an initial City of Los Angeles Open Data Initiative pilot program (C.F. 13-0112). In
December 2013, the Mayor issued Executive Directive No.3 - Open Data, directing ITA to establish
an Open Data portal and all City departments to make all appropriate datasets (a collection of related

Recreation and Parks, and Los Angeles Public Library) and proprietary (Department of Water and
Power, Los Angeles World Airports, and the Port of Los Angeles) departments to collect datasets and
to make these datasets available to the public in an easily accessible and understandable format
online via a public website in a timely and regular manner (i.e. open data). Open data is restricted by
valid privacy, confidentiality, security, and other legal restrictions, and, by the Open Data Policy
adopted by the Information Technology (IT) Policy Committee (ITPC) composed of IT representatives
from several City departments, which guides and coordinates the publishing of open data by City
departments.
Several large govemment organizations including New York City, Chicago,
Seattle, the States of California, Washington, Colorado, and New York, and the
have launched Open Data portals making hundreds of data sets covering a wide
available to the public. This data typically includes information about budgets,
expenditures.

In addition, the Office of the Controller (Controller) launched its own open data portal,
controllerdata.lacity.org
in October 2013 via a separate contract with Socrata (C-123023). A large
volume of City financial data including City payroll, overtime, bonus, health care costs, and
expenditure information by department, type, vendor, and date range is posted on the portal, giving
the public access to specific details of how taxpayer money is spent in the City of Los Angeles.
Information regarding the City's revenue, including type, collection ratios, and trends over time is also
posted on this open data portal.
Proposed Vendor
ITA selected Socrata on a sole source basis with the City Attomey's concurrence based on Socrata's
unique expertise and technology in providing an open data solution and the following factors:
•
•
•
•
Socrata is a leading provider of an open data platform and tools which are utilized by various
govemment organizations including the federal government and large cities such as New York
City, Chicago, San Francisco, and Seattle to implement their own open data portals;
The Socrata platform enables clients to publish a large volume of data sets and allows multiple
users to review, compare, visualize, analyze, and share information;
The Office of the Controller has utilized Socrata's technology to launch and implement an open
data portal which can now be expanded by ITA for use by the entire City;
According to ITA, Socrata is the only Open Data Platform that has passed the Federal
Information Security Management Act of 2002.
Per Charter Section 1022, the Personnel Department determined that this type of work is highly
specialized and of a proprietary nature and that there are no classifications of City employees that
can perform these services.
Proposed Contract Terms
The Controller's contract with Socrata (C-123023), which will expire on September 30,2014, provides
for basic hosting and subscription services and two applications built for specific high-volume data
sets, Checkbook Explorer and ArcGIS Connect.

Checkbook Explorer provides ways for any user to explore a govemment's expenditures, by
department, type, and vendor, for any given date range. ArcGIS Connect is a data mapping tool that
allows users to plot datasets made available on an open data portal onto a map. Both applications
are currently available on the Controller'S open data portal at a cost $949 per month or $11,388
annually for each application. Combined with the cost of basic hosting and subscription services
($9,491 per month or $113,892 annually), the total cost of these services is currently $137,000
annually. It is anticipated that during the first year, the proposed Agreement will be utilized to
transition the services provided under Contract C-123023, and all City departmental datasets will be
provided on one Citywide open data portal. The Controller's data will continue to be accessible on the
current site and will also be available through the Citywide open data portal
The proposed Agreement will be effective upon execution. The first payment will be due, however, on
October 1, 2014, upon expiration of Contract C-123023. The cost of these services for the remainder
of the fiscal year from October 1, 2014 to June 30, 2015 will be about $102,505 broken down
between the Open Data platform subscription ($85,421) and Checkbook Explorer and ArcGIS
Connect applications ($17,084). It is anticipated, however, that the actual contract cost will be higher
to cover fees associated with customization of the open data portal and additional features and
services that may be added after the Citywide launch of the open data portal. These additional
features and services are described in further detail below.
For the second and third years of the proposed Agreement, ITA anticipates that additional services
provided by Socrata may be purchased and utilized by various City departments contingent upon
sufficient funding approved by the Mayor and Council through the annual budget process.
Accordingly, the maximum compensation of the proposed Agreement is an amount not to exceed $2
million over five years (three year contract with two one-year options to renew) to cover anticipated
expenditures on a Citywide basis. Execution of the proposed Agreement does not obligate the City to
utilize all of Socrata's services as compensation is based on actual services rendered. Additional
services must be approved by ITA via a Statement of Work and their respective pricing include but
are not limited to:

should the proposed Agreement be extended beyond three years. To ensure continuity of services, it
is recommended that the General Manager of ITA be authorized to extend the term of the Agreement
in one-year increments, for an additional two years so long as all other terms and conditions remain
the same, funds have been budgeted for this purpose, and all other legal requirements are met.
In accordance with Los Angeles Administrative Code Section 10.5, City Council approval of the
proposed Agreement is required because the term exceeds three years, including the two one-year
options to renew. To the best of our knowledge, Socrata has complied with all City contracting
requirements, policies, and procedures. As this is a sole source contract, a Good Faith Effort (GFE)
outreach is not required.

City
of Los Angeles Open Data portal, for a three-year term effective upon the date of execution of

professional services agreement with Socrata, Inc. to extend the term for an additional two
years, in one-year increments, so long as all other terms and conditions remain the same,

FISCAL IMPACT STATEMENT
Funding of $349,000 is included in the 2014-15 Proposed Budget. Execution of the contract is
contingent upon the approval of these funds in the 2014-15 Adopted Budget. As budgeted funds will
be used to support the proposed expenditures and expenditures are limited to the appropriation of
funds in the budget, the recommendation provided in this report is in compliance with the City's
Financial Policies.
