Advisory Services for Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) / ERP ADDENDUM 1 - QUESTIONS

The City of Pacific Grove seeks a qualified consulting firm to provide comprehensive advisory services for the replacement of its existing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. The consultant will develop the Request for Proposal (RFP), guide the vendor selection process, assist with contract negotiation, and produce a detailed implementation action plan; an optional phase may include independent quality‑assurance oversight during the actual rollout. This effort is remote‑focused, with a start date of late April 2026 and a final council presentation slated for early December 2026. • Phase I: Draft, review, and finalize the ERP RFP (deliverable due early June 2026). • Phase II: Lead vendor evaluation, create scoring matrices, coordinate software demos, and submit a vendor recommendation (by early October 2026). • Phase III: Support contract negotiations and prepare materials for a City Council presentation (by mid‑November 2026). • Phase IV (optional): Provide independent QA/IV&V services during the ERP implementation on a time‑and‑materials basis.
