EXHIBIT A
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Objectives
Conduct an organization assessment of the Finance Area of the City of Fort Collins to analyze
the current Finance positions across the City and the incumbents who occupy those positions.
Based on the results of this assessment, the City would like to:
1) Develop new Job Families and Job Descriptions for the Finance positions that more
appropriately align with public and private benchmarks, as well as the future direction of
the City in this area
2) Create consistency across the City in the hiring, management, deployment, and
development of Finance positions
3) Create Career Paths that enable both horizontal and vertical career development for
Finance positions
4) Ensure that incumbent qualifications, scope of responsibility, authority, position
structures and compensations are appropriately aligned across the City
The work from this project is also anticipated to serve as a pilot for the overall Compensation
and Career Path changes being proposed Citywide, and the results of this project will be aligned
with that direction.
Scope
Revolution Advisors will be responsible for providing the following services.
Conducting an assessment for the Finance organization and the development of a future state
that will meet the objectives outlined above, while also aligning the Finance direction with the
overall City direction in this area. The activities are broken into 3 phases:
1) Data Gathering and Assessment: assessment of the current Finance structures, jobs,
responsibilities, compensation, and incumbents
2) Future State Structure Development: development of the appropriate future state job
structure, roles, and compensation aligned with the future state of compensation and
career development across the City
3) Transition Planning: creation of guidance on implementation of the new structure,
including critical tasks, key risks, and suggested mitigation strategies
The project will focus on comparison of the Finance organization at Fort Collins against best -in -
class Public and Private Sector organizations using publicly -available and proprietary
benchmark data. Revolution Advisors will work collaboratively with the City to ensure that the
appropriate benchmarks are identified at the start of the project. In order to ensure an effective
comparison, we will also look at key Finance processes across the City to understand how
these impact structure and performance.
The key activities associated with each of the phases appear in the charts below:

Project Timing and Assumptions
The overall project timeline is anticipated to be 16 weeks from project launch. Project launch
would be targeted for February 16, 2015 and completion would be targeted for June 5, 2015.
The project timing would be subject to the following assumptions:
• Revolution Advisors will have timely access to key leaders for the purpose of making
required decisions, and those decisions will be made without significant delay
• Interviews will take place in the first 4-5 weeks of the project and that efforts will be
made by the City to maximize scheduling synergies for the interviews by scheduling
multiple interviews per day, etc.
• Interviews will include a maximum of 52 total interviews including a maximum of 3 group
interviews
• Revolution Advisors will have access to key data required such as current state job
descriptions, current roles and responsibilities, metrics associated with the positions,
incumbent data, and others within 2 weeks of the project start
• Project components that have Citywide implications (such as the new job description
format) will be approved by the ELT or its designees to maximize synergies with the
future state of Compensation and Career Development
• The City will assign a Project Manager to this project, who will be the primary day-to-day
point of contact for the Revolution Advisors project team, and will be responsible for
helping to ensure that the project stays on schedule
• Revolution Advisors will have periodic access to the Chief Financial Officer for the City
for the purpose of data gathering and feedback on key issues and directions, including
key deliverable review
• The City will provide administrative support for scheduling interviews and meetings,
including appropriate meeting facilities
• The Transition Plan will not include any assessment of individual misalignments to
market or internal equity and will focus on overall transition strategies only
Should any of these assumptions prove not to be true, the project timeline and/or fees could be
impacted.
