ASSUMPTIONS AND TIMELINE Engagement Assumptions General Assumptions The proposal assumes that the contract will be completed within the timeframe of the implementation schedule accepted as part of the implementation services vendor agreement. Your organization's staff will be reasonably available for interviews and will participate in the project as agreed upon and appropriate. Your organization agrees not to cancel meetings once established (which would raise our travel costs). GFOA's liability and indemnification under any agreement reached with your organization will be limited to the extent of fees paid by insurance coverage currently in force. This limitation applies to all exposures under this engagement. The contract with your organization must also include the following language in the same section as the limitation on liability: "The City recognizes that GFOA's role is to provide information, analysis and advisory services. As such, GFOA bears no responsibility for the performance of the software, hardware, or implementation service suppliers." ~ GFOA assumes that workdays will incur at 8 hours of billable time per day when on-site. However, we will work to fit your work schedule, and will only bill for the hours worked, both on and off site, during this engagement. GFOA will be provided access to the ERP implementation effort in a remote fashion, including the project team network. This access will be the same as that afforded to the implementation team on-site. It will also include access to the proprietary tools used by the project team members for implementation of the ERP application. GFOA will participate in Steering Committee meetings if site work is coincident with meeting times. When performing work on-site, GFOA staff will be provided appropriate office workspace and access to copiers, printers, fax machines, and miscellaneous office supplies.
