Description/History

In June 2021, resulting from a rigorous RFP process the City selected Tyler Technologies (Munis) as its ERP software solution.  The contract for the new ERP system was authorized by the City Council on February 14, 2022, and implementation began March 25, 2022. The new software replaced a 20-year legacy system which encompassed several functional areas critical to the administration of City activities such as accounting, purchasing, cash management, revenue collections and asset management.  The City went live in December of 2022 with the implementation of the core software functions.  Due to the complexity and sophistication of the software, the City wishes to contract with Plante & Moran, PLLC to assist with the remaining portion of the project implementation which includes the enhanced reporting and analytical functionality of the software. The cost for services are not to exceed $73,980.00.
