DATE: September 10, 2019
SUBJECT: AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR ENTERPRISE RESOURCE
PLANNING (ERP) SYSTEM
DEPARTMENT: Administrative Services
PRESENTER: Benny Ives
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council:
1. Award a ten-year contract to Superion, LLC, for the replacement of the City of Santa
Clarita’s enterprise resource planning system, for a total amount not to exceed $5,242,062.

appropriation of funds in the annual budget for such fiscal years.
4. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all contracts and associated documents,
subject to City Attorney approval.
BACKGROUND
The City of Santa Clarita (City) utilizes an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, which is
5
Packet Pg. 31
Page 2
an application comprising a collection of software modules that work together to streamline
some of the most important functions of any organization, including Finance, Human Resources,
Purchasing, and Payroll. The existing system, known as eFinancePlus, was implemented in 2006
and was an upgrade to an earlier version of the same software family.
In the last thirteen years, the software has become outdated with minimal enhancements, which
has led to shortcomings and inefficiencies in its ability to meet the City's needs as it relates to
accounting practices, mandated state/federal regulations, integrations with newer City
applications, and internal controls.
As with any significant computer system, the City’s Technology Services division maintains a
schedule that forecasts and plans for the upgrade or replacement of such systems, commonly
predicated on several criteria, including diminishing performance, usefulness, scalability, vendor
support, technical expertise, research and development, change in business processes, security,
reliability, maintenance, staff expectations, and new alternatives. The current system has been
falling short in nearly all of these categories, especially when compared with modern ERP
systems in the marketplace today.
In 2016, City staff began documenting the current system’s inefficiencies as well as researching
possible replacement systems. Staff attended conferences and conversed with auditing firms and
other municipalities to learn more about features and capabilities of modern ERP systems to
streamline operations, offer greater flexibility to address changing municipal regulations, and
internal control policies, as well as integrations to other City applications, such as Laserfiche and
NeoGov, the City’s Electronic Document Management and Applicant Tracking systems,
respectively.
Due to the complexities and intricate design of ERP systems, in June 2018, City Council
approved City staff's recommendation to hire industry experts, SoftResources, to assist in the
selection of an up-to-date ERP system by performing these key functions: conducting a needs
assessment, requirements analysis, Request for Proposal (RFP) development and management,
vendor analysis, software demo/proof of concept, final decision, and contract review.
SoftResources’ initial work led to a Needs Assessment report that recommended the City look to
upgrade or replace its eFinancePlus with a new ERP that would improve the City’s business
processes, adopt regulatory best practices, reduce paper-based and manual processes, minimize
dependency on shadow systems, eliminate workflow inefficiencies, and provide system
integration opportunities with other core business applications, such as the City’s permitting
system.
In October 2018, City staff, together with SoftResources, released an RFP for a new ERP. The
RFP solicitation was noticed to 598 entities, was downloaded 47 times, and ultimately resulted in
5 responses. An initial review of the five written proposals yielded the ratings below based on
several criteria including the City’s functional and technical requirements, experience and
expertise of the vendor, total cost of the solution, and the quality of the proposed work plan.

The top three vendors were selected to provide two full days of on-site demonstrations. City
staff, comprising key staff from Finance, Human Resources, Purchasing, and Technology
Services divisions attended the demonstrations. Upon completion of the demonstrations,
Superion, LLC (Superion) emerged as the clear leader based on software demonstration scoring,
ease of use, pricing, technology specifications, and implementation methodology. A summary of
the ratings is shown here:

Sierra-Cedar Oracle Fusion Alpharetta, GA $6,532,509.38 51
In addition to best addressing the current system’s deficiencies, and offering the improvements
stated above, here are just some of Superion’s solution abilities:
Automate key business processes via workflows
Maintain transactional cash receipts detail
Maintain inactive or one-time vendors
Limit system’s ability to process specific transactions
Ability to produce a strong point-of-sale audit trail
Multiple enhancements to time card entry and approval processes
Maintain a real-time connection between time card and payroll systems
Ability to restrict user security roles on a granular level
Integrate with the City’s Electronic Document Management System
Capture transaction-level detail from the City’s permitting system
As part of their due diligence, City staff conducted reference checks of four California
municipalities using Superion’s solution to get their assessment of the company's software,
performance, and customer service. All reference checks were complimentary and did not
uncover any major areas of concern. City staff, together with SoftResources, then entered into
the negotiation phase with Superion to verify all major system components were included, agree
to contract terms, as well as a best and final price that reduced the total cost of Superion’s
proposal to $5,014,004.
City Staff recommends that City Council award this contract to Superion because their solution
best meets the needs of a new ERP as evidenced by the analysis, due diligence, features,
capabilities, implementation methodology, and vendor demonstrations conducted through the
5

course of this procurement process.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
1. Do not approve contract with Superion.
2. Other action as determined by the City Council.

Adequate funds will be available upon approval of the requested appropriations.

CITY MANAGER APPROVAL:
DATE: September 10, 2019
SUBJECT: AWARD OF CONTRACT TO AMERON POLE PRODUCTS FOR
THE PURCHASE OF ADVANCED REPLACEMENT STREETLIGHT
POLES
DEPARTMENT: Neighborhood Services
PRESENTER: Kevin Tonoian
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council:
1. Award a three-year contract for replacement streetlight poles to Ameron Pole Products for an
annual amount of $250,000, for a total contract amount not to exceed $750,000.
2. Appropriate $250,000 to expenditure account 12593-5161.022 for the advanced purchase of
replacement streetlight poles, from Landscape Lighting District Streetlight Maintenance
Fund 359, to expedite future streetlight knockdowns.
3. Authorize an ongoing base budget appropriation of $250,000 to expenditure account 12593-
5161.022, from Landscape Lighting District Streetlight Maintenance Fund 359, for the
ongoing costs associated with the advanced purchase of replacement poles.
4. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all contracts and associated documents,
subject to City Attorney approval.
BACKGROUND
On May 10, 2018, the California Public Utilities Commission approved the City of Santa
Clarita’s (City) purchase of the streetlight system from Southern California Edison (Edison).
Staff anticipates that the ongoing acquisition and conversion of the streetlight system to Light
Emitting Diode (LED) fixtures will generate operational savings in excess of $30 million during
the first 30 years of ownership.
6
Packet Pg. 35
Page 2
In addition to transferring ownership of the system, the City is now also responsible for ongoing
maintenance, including streetlight knockdowns resulting from vehicle collisions. While the
City’s knockdown experience during the first six-months of ownership has been limited, with a
system encompassing more than 16,500 streetlights, staff forecasts replacing 50 to 100 pole
knockdowns each year.
To limit financial exposure, the City’s insurance carrier provides coverage for the streetlight
system. While the City incurs a $1,000 deductible per knockdown occurrence, our insurance
carrier will be responsible for reimbursing all remaining expenditures, including the cost of the
replacement pole as well as the associated labor. Additionally, our insurance carrier will cover
costs associated with the initial emergency response to make the location safe and subsequent
services to clear damaged poles.
Ameron Pole Products (Ameron), located in Fillmore, California, is the number one
manufacturer of concrete streetlight poles in the United States. Ameron provides streetlight poles
throughout the country, and is the standardized pole used within the entire Edison service area
including Santa Clarita. Pursuant to Section 3.12.270 (B) of the City’s Municipal Code
(Exceptions to Competitive Bidding Requirements), staff recommends dispensing with bidding
procedures as the specific concrete streetlight pole utilized in Santa Clarita may only be obtained
from Ameron.
While the local sales representative for Ameron, Del Sol Resources, will facilitate this sale, the
City will direct all payments to Ameron. The timeline to fabricate and deliver replacement poles
to address individual knockdowns requires six to eight weeks of lead-time from placing the
order. To expedite the replacement of streetlights damaged by vehicle collisions, staff is
recommending the award of a three-year, single-source contract to Ameron in the annual amount
of $250,000 for the advanced purchase of replacement poles. This action will provide the City
with adequate inventory to access as necessary and facilitate pole knockdown replacements
within approximately two weeks, as opposed to eight to ten weeks when ordering replacements
as each knockdown occurs.
Staff recommends placing an initial order for 50 replacement poles. The cost associated with
securing these poles is $114,680, inclusive of transportation and delivery. Upon fabrication, the
City’s Transit Maintenance Facility will serve as the storage location for replacement poles.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Other actions as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no impact to the General Fund. This action requires an appropriation from the
Streetlight Maintenance District (Fund 359) of $250,000 for Fiscal Year 2019-20, and is
contingent upon Council appropriation of funds as part of the annual budget in future years. The
Streetlight Maintenance operation budget will be responsible for funding all advanced costs for
each streetlight knockdown. The City’s insurance carrier will reimburse all expenses for each
knockdown, with the exception of a $1,000 deductible per occurrence.

BACKGROUND
At the June 11, 2019, City Council meeting, the City Council directed that an agenda item be

seeking to name a City facility after an individual. Historically, the City has recognized
individuals in one of three ways: through the creation of plazas, the placement of memorials, or
by naming a City facility or amenity.
