':*'CITY C • e `demes, CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE By MAYOR • • ▪ • • • PROJECT OUTLINE • • • i rR 1. Introduction The project will be approached in three phases: 1.1 Problem Definition: The current system, the city's data pro- cessing needs, and how they are related. 1.2 Sy tem Design: Prioritize data processing objectives, systems flow, the characteristics of machinery and programs, organiza- tional and personnel considerations. 1.3 Vendor Relations Support: RFQ ("Request for Quote") develop- ment, evaluation of Bids from vendors. Successful completion will depend largely on the cooperation we receive at all levels. Therefore we need unrestricted authority to Interview personnel, observe operations, gather documents, etc., with the under- standing that we will avoid disrupting work wherever possible. The following sections describe how we propose to accomplish each phase. 2. Problem Definition This phase Includes the following steps: 2.1 Collect Information. 2.1 1 Existing documentation will be gathered as available from all departments. This will extend to manual pro- cedures that might possibly be computerized. 2.1.2 Personal interviews will be conducted at virtually all levels of each department. Interviews with lower - level personnel often provide the details needed to • ensure successful conversion. Such interviews also reduce anxiety about the conversion and lessen resistance to change. 2.1.3 Written questionnaires will be used to save time in pro- viding basic items of information, as well as assisting in preparing for interviews. 2.1.4 Direct observation of operations will be done to verify Information collected by other means. 2.2 Analyze the Information. 2.2 1 Compile and organize the information. 2.2 2 Describe the current system, based on the collected and compiled information, in the form of a written descrip- tion and a summary flowchart, to inejude both computer and manual data processing operations. 2.2.3 Identify possible future applications suggested by analysis of the information. 2.2.4 Summarize the relationship between the city's data pro- F cessing needs and its current and future applications of computers and manual techniques. ti • i • • 3. System Design 3.1 Identify the objectives the city needs to achieve in the evolution of its data processing systems. 3.2 Assign priorities to objectives so an orderly progression in future systems development can be maintained. 3.3 Develop a general systems flowchart to show the relationships between various segments of the system and the movement of data through the system. 3.4 Design computer program functions within each segment of the flowchart. 3.5 Define software support needs (compilers, operating systems, utilities, data management, etc.), to facilitate program deve- lopment and reduce the amount of program re -writing. 3.6 Specify hardware characteristics (main memory, multiprogramming options, printers, remote terminals, card readers, peripheral storage) needed to support the programs. 3.7 Detail personnel considerations in terms of functions of existing personnel, any needs for new personnel, and possible effects of conversion on personnel. 3.8 Analysis system security needs to protect the system itself, to guard confidential information, and to facilitate restoration of service in the event of large-scale disruption. 3.9 Determine maintenance requirements to ensure that a satisfactory balance will be achy eved between system availability and main- tenance costs. 3.10 Develop a conversion timetable based on the priorities assigned to system objectives. 4. Vendor Relations Support 4.1 Write RFQ's to be sent to vendors. Since different vendors use different technology to accomplish the same task, this allows each vendor to offer the equipment and software from his line that he believes will best fit the city's needs. The competitive atmosphere will help ensure that the vendors bid systems that are adequate without being excessively costly. (It should be noted that vendors will not be asked to supply "canned" systems. We feel that the City will be best served by a general-purpose system that can be adapted as needs develop.) 4.2 Discussiond clarification of RFQ's with vendors while they are putting together their responses. 4.3 Evaluation of bids from vendors in terms of satisfaction of objectives, cost-effectiveness, reliability, ease of conversion, etc. to assist the City in deciding vihieh bid to accept. • • • • NON-COLLUQi 1O:I Stato of.04s4r S3 County of. i4 . •CI SI -a/4 A e sworn, deposes and say. teat. of Bid (1) He is rr vAA , being first duly (owner, p:.:•tra:, OaiY(:Or, reprGaGnt:at VO, Or agont) tho Biddor tnat haa submitted the attached (2) He is fully informed raapooting tho preparation and contents of the attachod Bid and of all portinont circuratancoa respecting such Bid; (3) Such Bid is gonuino and is not a colluaivo or sham bid; (Lt) Neithor tho caid Biddor nor any of its officoro, p:.rtncro, ownora, agents, reprosontativoa, omployoot or partioa in intorort including this affiant, naa in any way colludod, conapirod, connived or agreed, diroctly or indiroctly, with any othor Biddor, firm or porton to submit a colluaivo or anam Bid in connoction with the Contract for which tho attached Bid has boon oubmittcd or to refrain from bidding in connoction with ouch Contract, or has in any manner, diroctly or indiroctly, sought by agrocmont of collusion or communication or conforonco with any othor Biddor, firm or person to fix tho price or pricoa in tho attacaod Bid or of any othor Biddor, or, to fia any overhoad, profit or cost element of the bid• price or tho bid prico of any•othor Biddor, or to secure through any collusion, conspiracy, connivcnco or unlawful agreement any cdvanta„o against tho CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS, or any person interested in the proposed Contract; and (5) The price or pricos quotod in the attacnod Bid aro fair and proper and aro not tainted by any collusion, conspiracy, connivance or unlawful agroomont on the part of tiie Biddor or any of its agents, ropresontativoa, owners, employees, or partioa in interest, inclu4"g, this affiant. • (Signod) (Title) Subscribed and sworn to bofore mo this 19 '7Q .

The contractor certifies further that he will not maintain or provide for his employees any segregated facilities at any of his establishments, and that he will not permit his employees to perform their services at any location under his control where segregated facilities are maintained. The contractor agrees that a breach of this certification will be a violation of the Equal Opportunity clause in any contract resulting from acceptance of this bid. As used in this certifi- cation, the term "segregated facilities" means any waiting rooms, work areas, restrooms and washrooms, restaurants, and other eating areas, timeclocks, locker rooms and other storage or dressing areas, parking lots, drinking fountains, recreation or entertainment areas, transporta- tion, and housing facilities provided for employees which are segregated by explicit directive or are in fact segregated on the basis of race, color, religion, or national origin, because of habit, local custom or otherwise. The contractor agrees that (except where he has obtained identical certifications from proposed subcontractors for specific time periods) he will obtain identical certifications from proposed subcontractors prior to the award of subcontracts exceeding $10,000 which are not exempt from the provisions of the Equal Opportunity clause, and that he will retain such certifications in his files.
