Exhibit A – Scope of Services

INTRODUCTION

The scope of the Work Program Integration Initiative (WPII) is to provide the software products and
systems integration services required to develop and deliver the Florida Department of Transportation's
Five-Year Work Program. Development and delivery of the Five-Year Work Program is specified in State
statute and evidenced by the achievement of the 20 business outcomes described in the Solicitation
Document Section 1.1, Subsection B, Critical Success Factors. To achieve the 20 business outcomes,
the Department’s Solution must provide the ten business capabilities and technical architecture detailed
in Section 2 Business Capability Model of Exhibit M – Background Information. The Vendor must
implement a Solution to efficiently and effectively:

• Plan, manage, and allocate funds and budget concurrently

• Develop, execute, and manage the financial components of transportation projects, from planning
through closure

• Forecast the Department’s cash flow needs for planned financial commitments and monitor actual
financial commitments

• Manage the prioritization of transportation projects within the Department’s Five-Year Work
Program

• Develop the Department’s budget request through the State of Florida’s Legislative Budget
Request (LBR) process and manage the financial impacts of budgetary appropriations

• Manage the financial impacts of contractual commitments on transportation projects

• Perform general accounting and cost accounting functions specific to the Department's Five-Year
Work Program

• Manage Federal Programs and additional revenue sources with the Department’s funding
partners

• Measure and report the performance results of the Department’s Five-Year Work Program
through specialized and dashboard reporting

The detailed requirements, which are mapped to and enable the business capabilities and technical
architecture, are documented in Exhibit L – Business Requirements. The Vendor is responsible for
implementing a modern planning and financial management Solution which satisfies the full volume of
WPII requirements, as agreed upon with the Department.

The Solution shall support the replacement of the current Financial Management (FM) Suite of Systems
and Supporting Financial Applications as detailed in Section 1.2 Background of Exhibit M – Background
Information. This includes the four main FM sub-systems (i.e., Financial Management Suite of Systems):
Work Program Administration (WPA), Federal Authorization Management System (FAMS), Project Cost
Management System (PCM), and Federal Programs Management System (FPM). The Solution shall also
support the replacement of, in full or in part, functionality in the Cash Forecasting System and the Contract
Funds Management (CFM) System. Functionality for these legacy systems includes integrations to other

Florida Department of Transportation – Work Program Integration Initiative


ITN# DOT-ITN-21-9040-PB
Page 5 of 69
Exhibit A – Scope of Services

Departmental systems of record, interfaces to external third-party systems, and enterprise reporting
functionality for the development and delivery of the Five-Year Work Program.

1.1 Out of Scope


Functionality to perform statewide accounting, financial reporting, and treasury functions commonplace
for modern core Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems is outside of the WPII Project scope. The
State of Florida statewide accounting functions listed below are included in the Department of Financial
Services’ Florida PALM Project, with the WPII Project providing agency specific data interfaces to support
the functionality:

• Account Management and Financial Reporting: Establishes the statewide Chart of Accounts and
accounting framework through the general ledger and maintains accounting and reporting needs

• Budget Management: Manages the tracking and reporting of appropriations, allotments, revenue
estimates, and budget exceptions common to all State of Florida agencies. Note: Budget
functionality specific to the Department of Transportation is in scope for WPII. This includes
budget request development and organizational unit level allocation and management of budget,
which must be reconciled to the State of Florida budget system of record

• Disbursements Management: Manages supplier information, supports disbursement obligations


of the State, and performs month and year-end closing activities for all State of Florida agencies

• Asset and Account Management: Manages property, establishes the security controls, and
performs month and year-end closing activities for all State of Florida agencies

• Accounts Receivable: Manages accounting, reporting, and the collection of outstanding State of
Florida revenues, supports the intake and accounting of receipts, and ensures the closure of
outstanding debt

• Treasury Management: Manages banking relationships, investments, and interest apportionment,


supports bank and general ledger reconciliation, and supports cash transfers between bank
accounts for all State of Florida agencies

• Cash Management: Manages cash balances at a trust fund level to support disbursements and
alignment with state and federal requirements, supports the forecast and management of agency
cash balances, and supports revolving funds. Note: Cash forecasting and cash flow analysis,
specific to the Department of Transportation’s cash to commitment operating basis to confirm the
statutorily mandated balanced Financial Plan, is in scope for WPII

• Payroll Management: Manages state employee and retiree payments

Overall procurement activities for the evaluation, selection, and creation of formal contractual agreements
with the Department’s vendors are considered outside of the WPII Project scope. Activities related to the
management of ongoing vendor relationships and the maintenance of vendor metadata are excluded as
well.

In contrast to the business capabilities supported by the WPII Project scope to address the financial
impact of funds and budget consumption of the Department’s contractual activities, contract management
activities related to the negotiation of the terms and conditions in contracts, ensuring compliance with the

Florida Department of Transportation – Work Program Integration Initiative


ITN# DOT-ITN-21-9040-PB
Page 6 of 69
Exhibit A – Scope of Services

terms and conditions, and documenting and agreeing on changes that may arise during the
implementation or execution of the contracts are excluded from the WPII Project scope.

Business capabilities to address specific financial impacts and reporting requirements of external
grantors are included in the scope of the WPII Project. This includes managing funds and budget
consumption of the Department’s grant agreements. However, grant management administrative
processes and methods to identify, monitor, control, and report all phases of grant activity from application
and award to close out and archival are excluded.

Project and schedule management addressing the establishment of scheduled activities for projects,
Gantt charts, work effort planning, and work breakdown structure to manage the sequence of events
necessary to deliver a transportation project are excluded from the WPII Project scope. The Department
currently uses Oracle Primavera P6 for this function, and FDOT expects to integrate with the scheduling
platform(s) to leverage scheduling data to satisfy WPII requirements.

1.2 Scope of Services Updates

The Scope of Services will be updated, as needed, at the end of each Phase (Phase Gate) via the Project
governance process. Further elaboration and definition of Project activities, Deliverables, and
acceptance criteria will be provided via Task Work Orders.

1.3 Pricing

It is the Department’s intent to negotiate Task Work Order Deliverables as fixed price.

SOFTWARE

The Vendor shall provide and implement a Solution that satisfies the WPII detailed business requirements
to enable the business capabilities necessary to produce the 20 business outcomes, as described in the
Solicitation Document Section 1.1, Subsection B, Critical Success Factors. These outcomes directly
impact the successful development and delivery of the Department’s Five-Year Work Program. The
Solution must also include business intelligence, data warehouse, and reporting solutions.
The Vendor shall provide all of the technology tools and software required to design, develop, configure,
test, implement, and support the Solution after go-live. If the Vendor is not the primary software product
Vendor, the Department reserves the right to directly contact the primary financial software product Vendor
(e.g., to get input from the software Vendor about system capabilities).
As a result of this Invitation to Negotiate (ITN), the Department intends to execute a contract with the
prime Respondent, as described in the Solicitation Document, that provides the best value. The
Department may enter into one or more software license agreements resulting from this ITN. Software
shall be purchased in accordance with a just in time delivery approach to defer the licensing cost until
needed. During the WPII contract negotiation step of this solicitation process, it will be determined how
and when the required software license agreements will be purchased and executed. The Vendor is
expected to leverage their existing vendor agreements and volume discounts to offer the best software

licensing and maintenance pricing to the Department.

Vendor shall work with the Department to analyze versions available and present pros and cons of the
release options in order for the Department to make a decision.

The Vendor shall employ a multi-variable staffing process to estimate resource needs and confirm
proposed resources have the necessary skills based on the Vendor’s delivery methodology, Project
schedule, and capacity and availability of Department staff. The staffing planning process shall result in
an achievable, transparent, and low-risk staffing model. The Vendor shall leverage a resource capacity
and effort-based Project schedule to confirm a sufficient number of qualified resources are dedicated to
support Project execution.
Before each State Fiscal Year and prior to start of each Phase, the Vendor shall create a detailed staffing
plan communicating Vendor roles planned for the coming Fiscal Year/Phase, named resources for each
role, expected start and roll-off dates, and proposed work location. This resource plan will be reviewed
and approved by the Department. The Vendor shall be responsible for onboarding and training all new
Vendor Project team members and conducting background screenings in accordance with the Contract.
The Vendor shall have a quality management approach to monitoring and evaluating staff performance
and contributions on the Project, and will work with the Department to define a process to discuss staffing
issues, be transparent with improvement plans, and replace resources, as needed.

IMPLEMENTATION

The Department acknowledges the Vendor shall have its own implementation methodology. The
Vendor’s proposed approach shall take into account the implementation considerations described in this
section, including any associated risks. The Vendor’s approach shall also consider and align with the
Project objectives. Implementation is not complete or successful unless the Department’s needs for the
affected business capabilities are met. Therefore, the Vendor is required to produce the outcomes
specified in the Business Capability Model and satisfy the full volume of WPII detailed business
requirements.
The Department expects to implement the Solution in Phases. Within each Phase, the Project will be
broken into Stages in accordance with the Vendor’s methodology, each with Major Project Milestones
(documentation of significant services completed and installed and configured software), Project
Deliverables (Project documents and documentation of services provided that follow a defined review
and acceptance process), and Work Products (additional Project activities may be associated to artifacts
such as status reports, weekly schedule updates, and staffing plan updates; the Department expects the
cost of Work Products will be included in the price of Deliverables). Review processes for Work Products
will be defined by the Department in the Project Management Plan (PMP). All Deliverables shall be
reviewed against the Department’s Acceptance Criteria and may include walkthroughs/demonstrations
by the Vendor prior to acceptance.
Phases, Stages, Major Project Milestones, Project Deliverables, and Work Products will be used to
organize the Project activities with the Vendor’s proposed implementation methodology. The specific
details of this work breakdown structure will be determined by the Department during negotiations and
documented in the final Contract. The Contract will only include payments based on the Department’s
acceptance of Deliverables (both Major Project Milestones and Project Deliverables). All Deliverables
shall follow established review cycles. Financial consequences for failing to meet each Deliverable

ITN# DOT-ITN-21-9040-PB
Page 17 of 69
Exhibit A – Scope of Services

Acceptance Criteria within the specified timeframes and quality criteria will be documented in the final
Contract and subsequent Task Work Order(s).

5.1 Project Phases


The Department anticipates a phased approach which will allow the Department to execute the Project in
smaller, more manageable pieces, minimize risks, and realize benefits sooner. A Phase will include a group
of business and technical capabilities (represented by a set of requirements) to be planned, designed,
developed/configured, tested, and deployed as part of the WPII Solution leveraging the Vendor’s
methodology. Phase designations must be proposed for each requirement by the Respondents in the
Reply to the business requirements. Proposed Phase designations are to be negotiated with the
Department and finalized as part of the Contract.
The Vendor’s proposed implementation plan shall include how implementation of the WPII Solution aligns
with the Florida PALM statewide financial system implementation schedule (refer to
https://www.myfloridacfo.com/floridapalm/). The timing and composition of the Phases and related
software deployments must support and not conflict with the Department’s successful operations.
The Vendor shall include in its proposed implementation plan the impacts of State Fiscal Year-End and
Federal Fiscal Year-End (planning and year end close activities) for all Phase implementation dates. The
Vendor shall also describe how the Project schedule will account for the Department’s limited operational
staff capacity to support Project activities during critical periods within the annual development cycle of the
Department’s Five-Year Work Program. The Vendor shall develop contingency plans for potential co-
occurring modernization of Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) systems and required interfaces with
the Financial Management Information System (FMIS) application.

5.2 Project Stages


Within each Project Phase, the Project will be further sub-organized in Stages to manage the Project
lifecycle and allow the Department to measure Project progress and success. Each Phase will begin with
a planning or initiation Stage and continue through deployment, as organized by the Vendor’s
methodology. Each Project Stage must address the four critical dimensions of the Project – process,
people, technology, and project management.
The Project shall conduct go/no-go decisions throughout the Project and at each culmination of a Stage,
identified as a Stage gate. The Vendor shall provide a Stage Gate Report, as a Work Product, to reflect
the completion of activities and Deliverables for the Stage. The Department will consider the successful
completion of relevant Major Project Milestones and Project Deliverables prior to moving forward with
implementation activities in a subsequent Stage. The Department intends to align Task Work Orders with
one or more Stages. During negotiations, Stage completion criteria and go/no-go decisions will be
finalized and documented in the contract.

5.3 Major Project Milestones

The Department will evaluate the progress of the Project through assessments designed to compare

Florida Department of Transportation – Work Program Integration Initiative


ITN# DOT-ITN-21-9040-PB
Page 18 of 69
Exhibit A – Scope of Services

completed activities against planned activities to confirm the Project outcomes are being met. These
assessments will also occur prior to the acceptance of the Major Project Milestones to evaluate progress,
risks, and issues in a continuous effort to confirm the ability of the Project team to meet the planned
deployment events. The Department will also use Major Project Milestones as go/no-go decision points
throughout the Project. The criteria for achieving Major Project Milestones will include the confirmation of
services successfully provided and acceptance of related Project Deliverables. The Vendor shall align
each Major Project Milestone to the Implementation Services and Deliverables identified in Section 6.
Multiple Deliverables may be required to reach a single Major Project Milestone. The Department
identified the following required Major Project Milestones for each Phase:
