INTRODUCTiON/BACKGROUND
Legislative Management Solution Products: Agenda and Minutes, eSignature, Civic Voice
The City of Gilroy is implementing Agenda & Minutes, for their City Council and other meeting bodies. Accela will
deliver the Legislative Management Platform starting with Agenda and Minutes, eSignatures and Civic Voice.
SCOPE OF WORK
The scope of work for the Legislative Management Project includes all planning, execution, implementation, and
training for a new cloud hosted Accela Legislative Management platform. Accela will ensure it has adequate
resources for designing, building, testing, and implementing the legislative management solution and is staffed for
the online training of Gilroy personnel as well
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Accela will be assigning a dedicated Project Manager to the Legislative Management project. This individual,
along with a Gilroy designated Project Manager(s), will serve as the authorized representatives of their
respective organizations to direct activities on this project. It is the responsibility of these Project Managers to
coordinate efforts and activities on the project to meet the projected timeline, accomplish project objectives,
and adjust this implementation plan as needed. Any changes to the implementation plan which affect cost,
time frames, or products can only be approved by official correspondence signed by the project managers.
SUCCESS FACTORS
In order to successfully execute the services described herein, there are several critical success factors for the
project that must be closely monitored and managed by the stakeholders. These factors are critical in setting
expectations between Gilroy and Accela identifying and monitoring project risks, and promoting strong
project communication.
• Knowledge Transfer — While we cannot guarantee specific expertise for Gilroy staff as a result of participating
in the project, Accela will make all reasonable efforts to transfer knowledge to Gilroy. It is critical that Gilroy
personnel work with Accela in order to schedule all work in the best manner to facilitate knowledge transfer
and resource availability.
Dedicated Gilroy Participation — We fully understands that Gilroy staff members have daily responsibilities
that will compete with the amount of time that can be dedicated to the implementation project. However, it
is critical that Gilroy acknowledges that its staff must be actively involved throughout the entire duration of
Services as defined in the Project Plan. Accela will communicate insufficient participation of Gilroy and Accela
resources to the project sponsor with real and potential impacts to the project timeline.
• Delivery of Needed Information and Documentation- In order to guarantee success and meet the timelines
and costs described it will be essential that Gilroy provides required documentation and information as
requested by the delivery staff in timely manner. The expected information required is described in detail in
each of the delivery sections. Failure to provide the required information can result in an extension of the
project timeline and /or an increase in the scope /cost of the proposed solution.
MAcceta
Implementation Methodology — We offer a successful, proven, implementation methodology which is crucial
to the project success. Accela's Legislative Management Solution and customer base is a niche market and as
such our implementation methodology may differ from other consulting firms and software packages. It is
imperative to project success that Gilroy is willing to adhere /adopt to the Methodology and tasks described in
this Statement of Work.

Project Deliverables and Timeline
For your Accela Legislative Management solution, we have a clearly defined engagement process. Upon selection
we will engage the team at Gilroy to review the requirements of this document and even go deeper into the "as is"
process to understand how things are done today. Upon understanding the "as is" process in detail we will use our
product knowledge and best practices to determine a "to be" approach. These meetings are done in conjunction
with the delivery team and the customer success team during Task #1 and are a part of the implementation and
training process as a whole.
After 400+ implementations and training over 50,000 daily users via a train the trainer approach Accela has
amassed a great deal of experience in effective roll outs of our solutions to cities as small as 500 in population and
to counties with populations in the millions. Below is a standard' approach we would take from analyzing the
unique needs of the City to the first live meeting where we are there to support you from start to finish.
"Standard as in the approach and steps we take. Often times during the discovery session, we will decide
along with the client, to spread out the implementation and training timeline (number of weeks) and we are
happy to make an adjustment.
MAccela
Task 1: Refine Scope and Technical Specifications
Accela will conduct a scheduling call with your project manager. During this call, we will work with the City to
refine the scope of the project and develop a timeline and calendar with specific dates /times to execute the
tasks associated with completing this project.
Task 2: System and Service Design
The software that the City will need is the Accela smart client. This is downloaded right from our website and can
be pushed out to all of the necessary users by your staff. The client also integrates with Active Directory, making
it easy to assign user names and passwords and have users use single sign on if desired.
Task 3: System Installation and User Training
Accela makes system installation as simple as possible. User training is detailed and outlined in the Training
Overview section below. Our web based Training is unlimited throughout the life of Accela and the City's
working relationship.
Task 4: Conversion of Existing Archive
Accela will import data the City made available in a PDF or MSWORD format and that historical data will be
displayed on the citizen /staff web portal. We will store your historical data for the life of Accela and the City's
working relationship, at no additional charge. This is a standard practice for us. We want you to have a
comprehensive and fully searchable legislative database, for your citizens and staff members to utilize.
Task 5: Support and Ongoing Service
Accela provides 24/7 support via telephone for no additional charge, for the life of Accela and the City's working
relationship. We will give the City access to modify and update the citizen /staff web portal as desired or can make
any updates as you request them. We release version updates a few times a year and will always give the City
access to the newest version of our software at no additional cost.
Training Overview
The training program follows a basic lesson, plan structure in which new users are trained using 90 minute sessions.
The sessions cover ail the essentials which will get the City up and running as efficiently & quickly as possible. We
will use a 'Train the Trainer" approach over a 4 week process (2 meeting cycles). The training is geared to work
with a 1 to 5 people who become the Power Users and also Internal Trainers. After the essential training is
complete and the City is using the software, Accela and the Internal Trainers train the submitters, approvers and
council /board members. After going live, additional training is provided through Accela's Training Academy.

Remote Training Environment
Our training program uses remote training tools (GoToMeeting and TeamViewer) to train our users. When users
are trained it is asked that they connect and dial -in from their desks — as a best practice we encourage the use a
"Do Not Disturb" sign to keep others from interrupting you training session. Before training begins we ask that all
users have the software installed on their desktop or laptops they will be using and confirm that GoToMeeting can
be used.
• GoToMeeting (please confirm it works)
• Users are trained at their desks.
• Install Software before Training
We begin with a discovery and planning session where the entire project timeline is set and then your system is
setup and configured. During the first 2 weeks of training we cover submitting, approving and building the agenda
for the upcoming parallel meeting. By week 3 the parallel meeting is taking place, the minutes are being
completed and training of the preparers takes place so that submitting for the live meeting can begin. In week 4,
the customer is generating the agenda for the live meeting and the board members are trained, if necessary.
