This analysis will culminate into a set of recommendations for process improvements, policy changes, and/or shifts in organizational structure depending on the consultant’s findings along with a phasing and implementation plan. In addition, the goal is to award an on-call work-order professional services agreement that can be renewed for up to five years maximum for future similar organizational assessment and analysis projects. A. Work Order #1 General Scope of Work The City is evaluating its processes, policies, and organizational structure related to compliance with local laws and regulations and is seeking consultant services to assist with this project. Local compliance teams are located throughout the organization in three primary areas. The first is the Environmental Services Department (ESD), which is housed within the organization’s Sustainability Services Area and deals primarily with local compliance issues related to air quality and waste reduction & recycling. The second is Community Development and Neighborhood Services (CDNS), which is housed within the Planning, Development, and Transportation Service Area and deals primarily with local regulations in the areas of zoning, code compliance, and building inspections. The third is the Environmental Regulatory Affairs division (ERA), which is housed within the municipal Utilities Service Area and deals primarily with local compliance issues related to stormwater quality, construction sites, spills. With the goals of exceptional and equitable service to the community, organizational effectiveness and efficiency, and community and workforce safety and wellbeing in mind, the City hopes to evaluate and improve its distributed approach to local compliance. Often, there are several City inspectors/compliance staff at one site at a time, and there is currently little cross-departmental talk to promote cross-training and knowledge/skill/ability duplication. The City hopes that an in-depth evaluation of the organization’s approach to local compliance will help ESD, CDNS, and ERA address staffing challenges through knowledge and skill duplication and encourage employees to use PTO; gain a clearer understanding of the customer experience when interacting with City compliance staff; and provide better and more streamlined service to the community in this critical area. B. Work Order #1 Scope of Work Deliverables/Milestones The selected Professional will perform an organizational analysis of the City’s local compliance teams in Environmental Services, Community Development and Neighborhood Services, and Environmental Regulatory Affairs. This analysis will culminate into a set of recommendations for process improvements, policy changes, and/or shifts in organizational structure depending on the consultant’s findings along with a phasing and implementation plan. Expected project milestones include: 1. Project Kickoff & Initial Grounding The Professional’s team and the project core team will have a kickoff meeting to review project milestones, clarify what success looks like, and adjust the scope and deliverables accordingly. DocuSign Envelope ID: 42743BDF-9CCF-4B45-9E77-211A670FC19C Official Purchasing Document Last updated 1/2023 Professional Services Agreement – Work Order Type RFP 9740 Organizational Assessment and Analysis On-Call Consulting Services Page 11 of 18 DELIVERABLE: Meeting notes and revised scope of work. 2. Organization and Peer Cities Research & Initial Recommendations The Professional will conduct an initial organizational assessment of the City’s approach to local regulatory compliance and resulting impacts on customer experience and community compliance trends. Relevant organizational charts will be provided by the City. • The assessment will include focus groups/interviews with compliance staff in ESD, CDNS, and ERA to understand and synthesize employee experience in this functional area. City staff will identify participants and provide the selected consultant team with their information. • Additionally, the assessment should include a comprehensive breakdown of customer/user experience when interacting with compliance staff. This portion of the project will require analysis of different types of customer interactions, including projects that may involve all three local regulatory compliance working groups (such as residential building construction/development) as well as projects or instances in which only one working group is involved (such as occupancy violations). • The analysis will include a geographic mapping component that displays the location of local noncompliance complaints. This component will include an assessment of “hotspots” for noncompliance as well as potentially underserved areas where communities are experiencing noncompliance and failing to report issues to City staff. In addition to the initial internal organizational assessment and community mapping, the Professional will conduct peer cities research to understand external trends and best practices for organizational structure, policies, and processes related to local regulatory compliance. Peer cities will be provided by Fort Collins City staff. • Peer cities research will include an analysis of compliance staffing structures, policies/processes, and success evaluation criteria/metrics in a list of peer communities provided by City staff. The Professional will synthesize trends and industry best practices to include in the assessment. DELIVERABLE: The Organization and Peer Cities Research & Initial Recommendations deliverable will be a written document that synthesizes key findings from internal interviews/focus groups, customer experience analysis, compliance mapping, and peer cities research. The document should also provide initial recommendations for process/policy/organizational structure improvements for local compliance staff going forward. 3. Second Round of Engagement Given the complexities and sensitivities that accompany large procedure changes or organizational restructuring, the Professional will present their initial findings and recommendations to a variety of stakeholders, including the core internal staff team for this project, focus groups of impacted employees, and the project’s Executive Sponsors. The Professional will be responsible for recording feedback and reactions to their initial recommendations from these groups and engaging in additional dialogue as necessary/directed for the internal staff team. DELIVERABLE: The Second Round of Engagement Deliverable will be a written document that details stakeholder feedback to the Professional’s initial process/policy/structure DocuSign Envelope ID: 42743BDF-9CCF-4B45-9E77-211A670FC19C Official Purchasing Document Last updated 1/2023 Professional Services Agreement – Work Order Type RFP 9740 Organizational Assessment and Analysis On-Call Consulting Services Page 12 of 18 recommendations. The Professional will conduct a formal debrief with the project core team of findings and allow City staff to provide their understanding of feedback and reactions from the second round of engagement prior to revising the initial recommendations in a final report and implementation plan. 4. Revised Recommendations and Implementation Plan After receiving feedback and reactions from internal stakeholders on initial process/policy/organization structure recommendations, the Professional will revise their recommendations to reflect a careful balance of industry/peer best practices and the unique needs and concerns of the City of Fort Collins. DELIVERABLE: The Revised Recommendations and Implementation Plan deliverable will be a written document that details the Professional’s revised process/policy/organizational structure recommendations based upon internal stakeholder feedback. In addition to revised recommendations with a rationale for each change from the initial recommendation, the Professional will include recommendations for phasing and implementing the suggested changes in a formal implementation plan. Finally, the deliverable should include quantitative and qualitative evaluation criteria that City staff can use to assess the success of the implementation of the Professional’s revised recommendations. C. Professional’s Response: 1. Describe how the project would be managed and who would have primary responsibility for its timely and professional completion. A principal of the firm is involved in every project, providing oversight, quality control and management assistance for all of our studies. As the leader of our general consulting practice Alan Pennington, a Senior Vice President of the firm, will act as a project executive. Alan will be supported by Aaron Baggarly, a Senior Manager of the firm who will serve as the project manager. 2. Briefly describe the approach to execute the scope of work to include the methods and assumptions used, and any exceptions and/or risks. Important to the success of the project are the methods that Professional will use to collect, analyze, and present information in order to formulate findings and develop and assure acceptance of recommendations. Professional has developed and fine-tuned over the years, a number of information gathering tools and techniques. These tools enable us to gather information efficiently and quickly. Examples of the tools that we will employ in this project include the following: • Interviews. Interviews are a staple of our consulting approach. In this study, we will interview the appropriate individuals managing and carrying out the work and from operating departments to understand their service needs and expectations. Given the Covid-19 environment we are experienced and prepared to conduct these interviews virtually and are in a hybrid mode now. • Data Analysis and Performance Metrics. Professional uses “best management practices” against which to assess the services provided in the City. The analysis of best practices for services, efficiency and effectiveness has been increasingly utilized in the DocuSign Envelope ID: 42743BDF-9CCF-4B45-9E77-211A670FC19C Official Purchasing Document Last updated 1/2023 Professional Services Agreement – Work Order Type RFP 9740 Organizational Assessment and Analysis On-Call Consulting Services Page 13 of 18 public sector to evaluate organizations. We will utilize a list of quantitative and qualitative best practices that have been developed by the Matrix Consulting Group or by professional associations to benchmark performance. • An Inclusive Stakeholder-Oriented Approach. Stakeholder involvement is a critical component of this study. Professional proposes to conduct individual interviews with managers and supervisors, as well as a representative number of line staff, in both individual and group interviews. Additionally, Professional will interview selected other City employees to understand their perspective on the services provided and needed. As critical as initial input is, communication and collaboration throughout the process supports the implementation of change. Professional recommends the creation of a project committee to work with us in this project. This committee’s role would be to review and critique our findings, conclusions, and recommendations as they are developed. We would prepare progress reports periodically throughout the study to report progress to date, problems or obstacles encountered, and planned project activities over the next several weeks. 3. Describe the methods and timeline of communication your firm will use with the City’s Project Manager and other parties. Professional prides itself on its client communication, including email correspondence, virtual and in-person interviews and meetings, as well as stakeholder presentations. When communicating with clients, we utilize virtual or in-person interviews and meetings, allowing us to communicate our questions most effectively, information requests, or provide process insights. After meetings have occurred Professional will follow-up with emails to key project team members to provide a written audit trail of requested information, due dates, etc. 4. Include a description of the software and other analysis tools to be used. Professional primarily use Microsoft Office, ArcGIS, QGIS, and R as analytical tools. 5. Identify what portion of work, if any, may be subcontracted or outsourced to subconsultants. Include all applicable information herein requested for each Professional. Professional will not be partnering with any subcontractors on this engagement. 6. How will you ensure compliance with Covid-19 requirements? Because of COVID-19, Professional understands the City may use non-traditional methods for the optional interview phase of the assessment process, including, but not limited to remote interviews through a platform such as Microsoft Teams or Zoom. We support these approaches and have 3 years of experience utilizing them. As a result, Professional understands and will comply with Covid-19 requirements as stated in the City’s RFP including compliance with all state, county, and local laws, ordinances, and public health orders, ensuring employees with COVID-19 symptoms do not report to the job site, organizing work to ensure individuals minimize contact and maximize social distancing, and requiring individuals to wear a mask or cloth face covering consistent with local public health recommendations and other applicable safety requirements.

Are other qualified personnel available to assist in meeting the project schedule if required? Yes. Professional has the resources in-house to meet all elements of this project. If additional resources are needed, we have personnel with expertise in the evaluation and consultation related to all city services (public works, parks and recreation, human resources, and public works), as well as law enforcement, fire and EMS, and emergency communications. We also have business segments for the analysis of fleet, facilities, and all aspects of financial services. 8. Provide an organization chart / proposed project team.

This task plan is similar to our approach for conducting other organizational assessment for all municipal operations. Each of the proposed tasks has an associated delivery that will be shared and reviewed by the City’s core team. The task plan outlined below expands the tasks outlined in the City’s RFP and includes more interim deliverables. We do not propose any options outside the request scope of work. Task 1 Hold a Project Initiation and Develop an Initial Grounding for the Study Upon execution of the contract the project team will hold a formal project kick-off meeting with the City’s project core team to discuss the parameters and reason for this study. The intent of this project kick-off meeting is to confirm the goals and scope of work, finalize the project schedule, develop an initial understanding of available project data, and develop a stakeholder engagement strategy. The City’s core team and project manager should be established. At this meeting, we will also establish regular project check-in meetings. The deliverables for the project kick-off meeting will be a project contact list, updated project schedule, identification of first round of staff interviews, preliminary data collection list, and a revised scope of work if necessary. Task Deliverable – A project initiation meeting that will confirm the project goals, schedule, scope of work, a preliminary data collection list, and a stakeholder engagement strategy. Task 2 Conduct Staff Interviews and Develop a Current State Assessment. To properly evaluate regulatory compliance operations and processes, Professional needs to develop an in-depth understanding of the key issues impacting and shaping service requirements for the community. To develop this perspective, we will conduct interviews with City management, appointed/elected officials, regulatory staff (management to line level) from ESD, CDNS, ERA, and others involved in the regulatory compliance process. We will evaluate current workload data to understand the current volume and types of work being performed. Upon completion of these interviews, Professional will develop a detailed description of the current approach to providing services. Our focus will be on how services are delivered, staffed, managed, as well as the cost associated with delivery of those services. Also, we will document key processes and the utilization of technology for primary work tasks. The development of this detailed description will be based on interviews as well as on the collection of operating information and data, including the documentation of current operational approaches. DocuSign Envelope ID: 42743BDF-9CCF-4B45-9E77-211A670FC19C Work Order 1 – 9740 Organizational Analysis and Assessment On-Call Consulting Services Page 3 of 6 Task Deliverable – A current state assessment summarizing the current staffing levels, roles, authority levels and workload for ESD, CDNS, and ERA operations. Task 3 Conduct an Assessment of the Customer and User Experience. The regulatory compliance components of the three departments are highly engaged with both internal and external customers. These interactions are through a combination of application review, permit issuance, and field inspections. In addition to developing an understanding of staff’s perception, the project team will meet with prior customers of ESD, CDNS, and ERA to understand their perceptions regarding their past interactions with the City and staff. To ensure that the project team has a good understanding of the customer’s perspective of the services provided by the City, Professional will utilize two techniques to obtain input: • Conduct an online stakeholder survey of recent applicants to obtain the widest possible input regarding the City’s regulatory compliance operations. This survey will be distributed electronically to prior customers of the City over the last 3 years and include questions regarding the efficiency, effectiveness and clarity of current processes and request input on the current strengths and improvement opportunities for existing processes and procedures. • Conduct up to four focus groups with prior customers to elicit more detailed and specific information regarding the City’s regulatory processes. Each focus group would consist of individuals who have recently conducted business with the City as well as representatives from professional trade groups. Professional recommends that at least some of the focus groups be conducted virtually to provide the greatest flexibility and opportunity for individuals to participate in this process. These efforts will be designed to understand the customer’s perceptions of the City’s process, associated challenges, and strengths of the service environment and to identify those changes the customers would most like to see implemented to improve service delivery. Task Deliverable – Summary of customer feedback from the online survey and focus group meetings identifying key issues related to the regulatory compliance process. Task 4 Evaluate Regulatory Compliance Workload to Ensure Equitable Outcomes for all Community Members. This task will evaluate historic regulatory compliance workload for ESD, CDNS, and ERA workload and where activity has taken place in the community. Professional will evaluate the historic workload to understand the location of investigations completed, where notice of violations occurs, and enforcement action taken to determine if there is a concentration in underrepresented areas of the City. This analysis will be completed by department first and DocuSign Envelope ID: 42743BDF-9CCF-4B45-9E77-211A670FC19C Work Order 1 – 9740 Organizational Analysis and Assessment On-Call Consulting Services Page 4 of 6 then in aggregate. It is critical to understand where complaints are validated, and the action taken to determine if there are imbalances of enforcement action in certain communities. Once the geographic location of noncompliance complaints is mapped, the project team will overlay with demographic data and analyze. This analysis will identify any inequalities in investigations and enforcement action by City staff. Task Deliverable – Analysis of historic workload to determine if compliance inequalities exist and a gap analysis of current operations through an equity lens. Task 5 Develop a Comparative Assessment of Regulatory Compliance Operations. In this task, the project team will conduct an organizational structure, policies, procedures, processes, workload, and staffing comparative assessment up to six other comparative entities in Colorado or elsewhere. We would compare the service delivery model, organizational structure, technology utilization, and other organizational characteristics to current Fort Collins operations and structure. The comparative survey would provide insight regarding how the City compares to other municipal organizations and identify areas for further inquiry for potential modification to enhance efficiency and effectiveness of service delivery utilization. Task Deliverable – An evaluation of the City regulatory compliance operations and organizational structure compared to six comparable jurisdictions and a summary of issues identified from this assessment. Task 6 Develop a Diagnostic Assessment of Regulatory Compliance Services, Training, Processes, Policies, and Organizational Structure. This task involves an evaluation of work practices, service levels, training, processes, and adopted policies, procedures, and ordinances for providing regulatory compliance services. This analysis will provide context for recommended changes. Professional will address these issues by employing the following approaches: • Evaluate policies and procedures. Professional will evaluate the various adopted policies to ensure they appropriately allocate responsibility for services, policies are consistent between departments, and that policies are being followed and implemented. The evaluation would include an assessment of the effectiveness of the current policies to ensure compliance with all adopted policies, procedures, ordinances, state statues, and directives. We would specifically review the policies and process to determine potential chokepoints in the various processes. Also, Professional will review current policies and procedures to ensure consistency in their application and that roles are clearly defined. • Analyze current processes to identify improvement opportunities. The project team will evaluate current workflows and processes, laws, and regulations to identify issues that are driving any inefficiencies in processes, communication, collaboration, DocuSign Envelope ID: 42743BDF-9CCF-4B45-9E77-211A670FC19C Work Order 1 – 9740 Organizational Analysis and Assessment On-Call Consulting Services Page 5 of 6 or other issues that impact the efficiency of the various departmental operations. This analysis will also include a review of services provided by ESD, CDNS, and ERA to determine if there is any duplicative work efforts and services. • Review staff training and identify cross training opportunities. In this subtask the project team will review historic and current staff training programs, certifications, and skill set to determine if there are cross training opportunities. Where appropriate the analysis will identify cross training opportunities to improve operational efficiencies and improved customer service levels. • Assess how regulatory compliance functions are organized. The project team will evaluate the overall plan of organization for ESD, CDNS, and ERA. We will utilize a number of principles in the evaluation of organizational structure including: - Does the approach to organizing development foster accountability? - Are spans of control too broad or too limited, are they consistent? - Does the current organizational structure provide adequate communication and coordination and enhance shared knowledge? - Do the plans of organization enable staff to provide better service to the public in terms of investigations, follow-up, and enforcement action? Each of these subtasks will be completed in the context of prevailing industry practices and to meet the unique operating environment of Fort Collins. The result of this task will be a comprehensive assessment, findings, and recommendations to improve structure, technology utilization, policies, and processes. Task Deliverable – A diagnostic assessment of current technology systems, policies, processes, training, and organizational structure for regulatory compliance operations. Task 7 Develop Initial Findings and Recommendations and Discuss With Key Internal Stakeholders. Upon the conclusion of Tasks 2 – 5, the Professional’s project team will develop a preliminary assessment of key findings and recommendations. This preliminary assessment will synthesize the findings from the current state assessment, comparative analysis, customer service/stakeholder feedback, and workload analysis into a single document that include initial recommendations. This preliminary assessment will be shared with the City’s core project team for their review. The Professional’s project team will facilitate a review workshop with the City’s core team and other key staff to review the preliminary assessment. The review workshops will focus on discussion of the preliminary findings and recommendations, obtaining staff’s feedback, and feasibility determination of the recommendations. The Professional’s project team will summarize the feedback received in a memo and share DocuSign Envelope ID: 42743BDF-9CCF-4B45-9E77-211A670FC19C Work Order 1 – 9740 Organizational Analysis and Assessment On-Call Consulting Services Page 6 of 6 with the City’s project core team. A subsequent discussion will be held with the project core team and additional comments will be incorporated before finalizing the findings and recommendations. Task Deliverable – A preliminary analysis that includes key findings and recommendations and a memo outlining the feedback received from internal stakeholders and the project core team on items of consideration to tailor the recommendations to the City’s unique requirements. Task 8 Develop Final Recommendations and an Implementation Plan. Upon finalization of the feedback in the previous task, the project team will modify the draft recommendations and finalize the analysis and recommendations. For this study to be successful, it is important to develop a realistic implementation plan that is prioritized and includes actionable items with adoption time frames for each recommendation. The Professional’s project team will work with the City’s project core team to review and prioritize the recommendations to assist in the development of the implementation plan. Also, both the Professional and City’s teams will collaborate to develop timelines for implementation and assign either a short-, mid-, and long-term timeframe. For each recommendation, the responsible party for implementation will be identified. This may include staff, city management, and/or elected officials depending on the recommendation. Each recommendation will also include the fiscal impact associated with implementation. Additionally, the project team will present the final recommendations and implementation plan to staff, City management, and/or elected officials. Task Deliverable – Develop an implementation plan that assigns a priority level, fiscal impact, identifies responsible party, and a timeline for implementation. The implementation plan will be incorporated into a final report document. Provide an outline of the schedule for completing tasks. Professional proposes to conduct this study over a six-month period as shown in the following schedule: Task April May June July Aug Sept 1. Project Kickoff 2. Current State Assessment 3.
