contracts to $5,950,000 over a five-year period, to provide department-specific SAP
solutions (Attachment A).
The City does not guarantee any minimum quantity of work or compensation with any
of these consultants during the contract period.
Background
The City currently utilizes the SAP enterprise resource planning (ERP) system to support
its major finance, human resource and utility billing processes. Staff last reviewed the
City of Palo Alto Page 2
viability of SAP through an RFP to procure a new ERP in August of 2017 (RFP 169033).
Thirteen proposals were received through a competitive proposal evaluation process
and three were shortlisted. After a rigorous bid evaluation process, executive staff
reviewed the staff findings and opportunity cost of implementing a new ERP. The RFP
was subsequently cancelled on November 14th, 2018 and the vendors were notified of
the cancellation. This was outlined in the Council Information Update item (CMR 9826).
As part of the SAP upgrade project activities, the project was split into two phases to
reduce risk and smooth continuity of business operations without major disruptions.
Phase I of the project upgraded the technical platform (software and hardware) of SAP
ERP system to the latest, fully-supported enhancement package version of SAP
software components to modernize functionality, implement Single Sign On, deploy the
streamlined application, SAP Fiori User Interface, and to migrate from on-premise
servers to the cloud. The City Council approved Phase I of the project on October 7,
2019 (CMR 10033). Phase I was completed successfully in November 2020.
On March 8, 2021, (CMR 11810) to extend the term with SAP until December 2025 was
approved. As noted in the CMR, staff will review and develop recommendations
regarding continuing with SAP no later than December 2024.
IT is now moving into Phase II of the project, implementing high priority functionality
changes identified during the Phase I of the project. To enhance the functionality of
SAP ERP application, highly experienced specialists are required to enable efficient
business processes and enhance business functionality.
In July 2019, staff issued a request for proposals (RFP) to identify a number of qualified
firms to provide on-call professional services for SAP on an as-needed basis to help with
modernization, enhancements, backfill and day-to-day operational fixes; because the
City’s SAP needs span across many domains, multiple vendors with the associated
expertise are required. As a result, six vendors were selected and Council approved
five-year contracts for each of these vendors on June 22, 2020 (CMR 11360). Staff will
engage the six contracted vendors to complete this work.
Discussion
In November 2020 the City upgraded SAP ERP software components as planned. This
technical upgrade of the ERP system created many opportunities such as performance
improvements, process re-engineering, digital transformation, and responsive role-
based SAP Fiori user experience, which is available on any device (e.g., laptops and
mobile devices).
Following the technical upgrade of the SAP components, several high priority functional
enhancements have been identified by multiple business units within our various
departments. These high priority projects are expected to be in progress during FY
2022-FY 2025:

Office of Management and Budget

• Develop Position Interface, CIP-Actuals, CIP-PR/PO Commitment
• Forecasting Ability & Multi-Year View
There is a significant cost savings for the City by enabling departments to leverage
new/enhanced functionality of the upgraded SAP system. These functional
City of Palo Alto Page 4
enhancements will also help improve the process control, IT Risk Management
recommendations, audit compliance control, operational efficiency, data quality, and
reduction in annual reporting activities.
Resource Impact
The initial $350,000 was approved and adopted through the Information Technology
Fund in Fiscal Years 2021 and 2022 to fund day-to-day operational fixes and
enhancements. For SAP Upgrade Phase II enhancements, staff will engage the six
contracted vendors to complete this work and will utilize the Enterprise Resource
Planning capital improvement project (TE-19000) to pay for the cost of professional
services incurred. Currently, there is $2 million in funding available for this project.
Staff will bring forward a recommendation for additional funding for SAP on-call
services, if necessary, during the annual budgeting cycle.
Stakeholder Engagement
The IT Enterprise and Systems Manager meet with numerous City departments at
scheduled SAP PMO meetings to discuss enhancements and new initiatives on a regular
basis.
Environmental Review
Approval of this agreement does not constitute a project under the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); therefore, an environmental assessment is not
required.

AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO CONTRACT NO. C20174583F
BETWEEN THE CITY OF PALO ALTO AND
TECHLINK SYSTEMS, INC.
This Amendment No.1 (this “Amendment”) to Contract No. C20174583F (the “Contract” as
defined below) is entered into as of May 2, 2022, by and between the CITY OF PALO ALTO, a
California chartered municipal corporation (“CITY”), and TECHLINK SYSTEMS, INC., a California
corporation, located at 220 Montgomery Street, Suite #1018, San Francisco, CA 94104
(“CONSULTANT”). CITY and CONSULTANT are referred to collectively as the “Parties” in this
Amendment.
R E C I T A L S
A. The Contract (as defined below) was entered into by and between the Parties for the
provision of providing SAP Support Services on an as-needed, project based, time limited basis, as
detailed therein.
B. The Parties now wish to amend the Contract in order to increase the quantity of on-
call, time-limited SAP Support Services that may be ordered annually from Consultant by City under
the Contract and, accordingly, the annual possible (but not guaranteed), per contract year, not-to-
exceed compensation amount from Three Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($350,000) annually for
contract year 1, to Six Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($650,000) annually for contract year 2, to
One Million Six Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($1,650,000) annually for contract years 3 through
5, for a Contract total not-to-exceed amount of Five Million Nine Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars
($5,950,000) over the five-year term across the pool of six on-call contracts for SAP Support
Services (of which this Contract is one), as detailed herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants, terms, conditions, and provisions of
this Amendment, the Parties agree:
SECTION 1. Definitions. The following definitions shall apply to this Amendment:
a. Contract. The term “Contract” shall mean Contract No. C20174583F
between CONSULTANT and CITY, dated June 22, 2020.
b. Other Terms. Capitalized terms used and not defined in this Amendment
shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Contract.
SECTION 2. Section 4, “NOT TO EXCEED COMPENSATION,” of the Contract is hereby
amended to read as follows:

“SECTION 4. NOT TO EXCEED COMPENSATION. The compensation to be paid to CONSULTANT for
performance of the Services described in Section 1 and Exhibit “A” of this Agreement shall not
exceed Three Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($350,000.00) annually for contract year 1, Six
Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($650,000) annually for contract year 2, and One Million Six
Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($1,650,000) annually for contract years 3 through 5, however,
CONSULTANT acknowledges that the compensation paid to it likely will be less than the afore-
stated annual amount per applicable contract year, as the CITY has appropriated that amount to
payments to be made under six on-call contracts, of which this Agreement is one. The six on-call
contracts shall be administered by the Information Technology Department to ensure the total
aggregate of compensation paid per contract year for these SAP on-call project support services
across all such contracts will not exceed the afore-stated annual amount per applicable contract
year, with a total not to exceed contract amount of Five Million Nine Hundred Fifty Thousand
Dollars ($5,950,000) over the term of the Agreement.
The applicable rate schedule by which CONSULTANT will be paid for Services rendered under this
Agreement is set out at Exhibit “C-1”, entitled “HOURLY RATE SCHEDULE”. Any work performed or
expenses incurred for which payment would result in a total exceeding the maximum
compensation as set forth herein shall be at no cost to the CITY.”
SECTION 3. Legal Effect. Except as modified by this Amendment, all other provisions of the
Contract, including any exhibits thereto, shall remain in full force and effect.
SECTION 4. Incorporation of Recitals. The recitals set forth above are terms of this
Amendment and are fully incorporated herein by this reference.
