EXHIBIT A
CITY OF EL SEGUNDO - TECHNOLOGY COMMITTEE
BYLAWS
ARTICLE I — NAME
The name of this organization shall be the Technology Committee, aka ITC (Information
Technology Committee)
ARTICLE II — PURPOSE AND ROLE
Section I - General
The Technology Committee shall collaborate with City staff and the local information
technology community to identify and prioritize technology strategies and projects that are
consistent with governmental standards and improve current systems to provide the City and the
public with improved technology equipment and services. The Committee is a standing committee
that serves at the pleasure of the City Council.
The Committee shall make recommendations that balance the needs of all departments while taking
under consideration that some short-term actions may need to be postponed due to the overarching
and/or long term goals, budgetary constraints, and other priorities of the City's IT Department.
The Committee will advise on any and all projects as requested by the City or as required per these
bylaws. However, the higher purpose of the Committee is to work in conjunction with Staff on the
key strategic needs of the City — balancing perceived and unrecognized needs with current projects.
While the Committee may be asked to advise on tactics of IT projects, it is the fundamental purpose
of the Technology Committee to understand the overarching needs of the City and collaborate with
City personnel to ensure that the total needs are met, not just the project needs.
The Committee shall work with staff and shall submit an annual prioritized list of proposed projects
to the City Council for consideration and potential approval. The IT Director shall first collect a list
of all staff and Committee requested projects and prioritize them according to need. The Committee
shall then review the Director's list of projects and work with the Director to finalize a list to present
to the City Council for approval.
The Committee shall work with staff to provide quarterly reports to the Council regarding the
progress of the projects. The Committee shall not be responsible for managing the projects. The
Tech Committee Bylaws 10.01.20
City Manager and IT Director shall oversee staff as set forth in their respective roles for purposes
of managing projects.
With regard to projects that are anticipated to exceed $50,000, are on the annual prioritized list of
projects, or will be used by the public (residents, visitors, and businesses) the Committee shall be
involved in selection process identified in Section II. For sole source purchases in excess of $50,000,
staff shall make a presentation to the Committee as to why the purchase qualifies as a sole source
purchase. If the Committee disagrees, such will be noted in the staff report to the Council requesting
approval of the purchase. For projects that are being mandated by another agency and the City is
required to purchase a particular product, the staff shall make a presentation to the Committee
regarding the project and product. If the Committee has concerns about the project and/or product,
such concerns shall be noted in the staff report to the Council requesting authority to purchase the
product.
Section II- Technology and Software Selection Process
An immediate goal of the Committee shall be to collaborate with staff and develop a broader
technology and software selection process (TSSP), including template of a request for proposals
form (RFP) for purposes of soliciting IT equipment and services from third party vendors and quality
assurance processes. This work shall be crafted by the City and input provided by the Committee.
The RFP shall include without limitation, functional requirements, technical requirements, vendor
history, maintenance services, integration requirements, and a request for warranty information.
The process shall identify the City staff positions to be involved in the process and also include
developing a timeline for noticing proposals, for vendors to submit proposals, for staff to evaluate
proposals (including demonstrations), and for staff to provide a recommendation to Council.
The process will also provide a list of success criteria and a functional requirement scorecard for
evaluating proposals. A potential list of viable proposers shall be identified and information
explaining if they did not submit a proposal, why not. The requirements for the TSSP in this Section
are not exhaustive as it is intended that the Committee and staff will identify other components to
include in the process. The Committee and staff shall submit the proposed TSSP process to the City
Council for approval.
The Committee shall not be involved in the drafting of specific proposals or in the ranking, selection,
or recommendation to Council of vendors. However, before proceeding to issue a request for
proposal, a subcommittee of the Committee shall review the request for proposal and provide input
with regard to whether it meets the City's request for proposals requirements.
Members of the subcommittee shall not create a quorum. This subcommittee shall also conduct a
criteria success ranking of the vendor that staff is recommending to Council that involves a proposed
purchase. This criteria success ranking information shall be included in the staff report provided to
the Council with regard to the recommended award of contract.
