The purpose and resolve of the Preliminary Revlew-ESP will be to recognize the potential of cost reduction opportunities, deliver expense and vendor transparency, and identify service level enhancements opportunities as it applies to the subject expense category selected by the Client. ❑ Waste & Recycle ❑ Utilities ❑ Document Management ❑ Treasury Services ❑ Telecommunications ❑ Risk Management PA shall use its best efforts to identify the above stated objectives by analyzing the Client's policies, procedures, supplier contracts, past invoices and other pertinent information as It relates to the selected expense categories set for review. PA will gather information as to Client's needs (past, present and future) from the Client and/or the service providers so as to build an ESP that not only lowers cost, but also matches the Client's operational requirements, expectations and the organization's cultural and philosophical objectives. After analyzing Client's current spending patterns, processes and other influencers, PA shall provide Client with a Preliminary Review in the form of an ESP findings report outlining PA's observations. PA's report will include a review of operations, cost reduction recommendations and potential service level enhancements. The report's recommendations will also include a comparison to the Client's historical cost or "Established Rates" to clearly outline the cost savings generated by the ESP's implementation. It is understood that despite PA's recommendations, the Client has the right not to proceed with any of PA's result findings or proposals as outlined in the ESP. 2.) POST REVIEW: In the event that the Client wishes to proceed with PA's recommendations as set forth in the ESP findings report, the two parties would move to execute an addendum in accordance to the County of Orange Regional Cooperative Agreement (OC-RCA 017-19010018) to serve as the go forward agreement between the parties. In the event the parties move forward, for the entire balance of the relationship with Client (as outlined in the OC-RCA). PA will continue to consult with Client in an effort to continuously identify efficiencies in the chosen areas of review. Periodically, the PA team will review the Client's invoices and service deliverables to ensure accountability by Client's suppliers with respect to the spirit and intent of the agreement between Client and the third party service provider. This ongoing review will take into account service levels, cost controls and overall client satisfaction. Further, PA will periodically consult with Client to anticipate changes in service needs to ensure that the proper service provider, contract and procedures are in place to address Client's go -forward requirements. Client has in place certain existing costs as it pertains to the requested expense categories selected for review ("Established Rates"). PA's ESP report will document the Established Rates and specific recommendations for each service or product chosen for review and outline the methodology used to generate PA's report. Client and PA will then discuss and agree on the Established Rates for the targeted service or product as outlined in PA's ESP report. If Client elects to proceed with any or all of the recommendations as set forth in the ESP, Client agrees to compensate PA as outlined in the OC-RCA once an addendum is executed. As noted in the OC-RCA, realized savings is measured by the difference between the agreed upon Established Rates and Client's new costs as set forth in PA's ESP findings report and accepted to the Client's satisfaction. Savings calculations are never forecasted nor estimated, and must be documented through actual realized savings that are achieved specifically through the recommendations as set forth through PA's ESP findings report.
