Exhibit A
The City of Santa Ana wishes to supplement existing revenue sources by filing state mandate cost claims
(SB 90 claims) with the California State Controller's Office (SCO). Like many public agencies in California,
Santa Ana recognizes the fiscal benefits of filing SB 90 claims and continuing to pursue all eligible costs
related to carrying out the state -mandated cost programs.
The City would, like to partner with a professional services firm that specializes in SB 90 consulting to do
the following:
4. Review past SB 90 claims filed by the City.
•:• Identify all possible SB 90 claiming opportunities.
:• Examine existing department methods for accumulating program data for each eligible claim.
Prepare an indirect cost rate proposal (ICRP) for applicable claiming departments.
Submit draft claims and ICRPs with all available backup to departments for review.
Prepare and file eligible annual SB 90 claims with the State Controller (SCO) during 2019 fiscal
year.
Prepare and file all eligible first time or new SB 90 claims that have claiming instructions issued
during the same fiscal period.
:• Submit to the Finance Department a list of all claims filed during the fiscal year.
Monitor the general payment status of claims prepared and submitted on behalf of the City.
ee Assist the City in the event of SCO field audits of claims filed by MGT.
This proposed schedule is one possible time line. If the City desires to initiate the annual claiming cycle
earlier, MGT is happy to accommodate that request.

CONSULTING GROUP
MGT provides true turn -key mandate cost claiming services to its clients, and our approach is based
around personal interaction. Our staff is involved with our clients' claiming process throughoutthe year,
providing proactive news, historical claiming reports, and the earliest notification of new SB 90 claims
possible.
I �
MGT views the SB 90 process as a partnership between Santa Ana and our firm. We will work closely with
the SB 90 Coordinator keeping the City apprised of everything we are doing, but it will be MGT's
responsibility to manage all aspects of the project. Some of the key aspects of this include:
Provide the City with a list of all eligible claims, as well as Claim Summary sheets and Data
Collection forms. All of these concise summaries and forms are available in a variety of
electronic formats to make use and disbursement of claiming information as easy as possible.
Work in concert with the City's SB 90 Coordinator to coordinate the City's overall claiming
process. If the City desires, minimal reliance will be placed on the City's SB 90 Coordinator in
this process.
Coax departments to ensure that all data required to file eligible claims is gathered in a timely
fashion. Our team works closely with our client departments after the on-site interviews to
ensure that all questions are answered and deadlines met.
Schedule and conduct individual meetings with departments to discuss all reimbursable
mandated activities.
Develop a schedule and plan for mining the necessary data to ensure claims are completed well
before the claiming deadlines.
Gather all required direct cost data.
Gather salary and benefit data from the Finance Department or the individual departments for
all required fiscal years.
Gather information required to prepare OMB A-87 compliant ICRPs. This will be carried out in
concert with other department interviews. It is important that this step occur each year because
departments reorganize, assignments shift, new personnel is hired, or personnel retire.
:• MGT will work with City departments to determine the documentation that must be submitted
to the state as attachments to claims, and what documentation should be maintained in the
City's files in case of the SCO inquiry or field audit.
Once data has been received from the departments, MGT will prepare all eligible claims and ICRPs on
behalf of the City using required SCO claim forms and MGT proprietary software. This process includes
the following actions:
Prepare all claims that apply to single departments. Once again, our experience will ensure that
no cost components are misinterpreted or omitted.

Coordinate and prepare all multi -departmental claims. Simply gathering data for mandates that
span different departments is not enough. The data must be cross-referenced and analyzed to
ensure that departments do not misclassifying or double -count data.
Prepare ICRPs and support documents for all claiming departments. Submit data and obtain
approval from each department for all ICRPs to be used in conjunction with current SB 90
claims, as well as the City's SB 90 Coordinator. This will happen at least six weeks prior to claim
deadline.
d• Submit draft claims and ICRP to City staff for review and comment.
Prepare and finalize all City claims and ICRPs to submit the completed claims for signature.
Completing and delivering the final claims to the City is not the last step. MGT will provide the City's SB
90 Coordinator with a clear, understandable process for receiving the completed claims/ICRPs and
obtaining the necessary signatures. There will be no points of confusion as to where the completed
claims and coversheets should be mailed, or who is responsible for making sure the claims are received
and filed with the SCO on time.
Prior to submitting the claims to the SCO, MGT will perform one final quality control check to ensure
that the City has signed two original coversheets, all parts of the claim are included, and required
documentation is attached.
MGT will hand deliver all signed claims received from the City to the SCO on or before the stated
deadline. We will also provide the SCO with a document that verifies it has timely received the City's
claims. This form will be signed and dated by the SCO and returned to the City.
Over time, we understand and recognize the City may prefer modify its involvement in the process to
conserve internal resources. Whatever approach the City selects, our goal is clear: produce the most
technically sound and accurate SB 90 claims that maximize potential revenue opportunities for the City.
STAFFING

company and is capable of providing the resources required to successfully complete the requested
