SUBJECT:
A Resolution authorizing a Project Management Professional Services agreement with Crowe LLP, 225 W Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606 ("Crowe") in an amount not to exceed $96,000.

PURPOSE:
As the City continues an aggressive digital transformation timeline and improvement of City technical services, the need for additional project management capacity has become necessary to ensure quality delivery of medium-to-large-scale complex projects.

BACKGROUND:
City IT Project Managers have successfully delivered many projects in recent years and will continue to do so. However, with several key projects due to be delivered in 2022 and 2023, IT Project Managers are beyond existing capacity. IT is attempting to meet the delivery demands of upcoming projects by engaging with Crowe for an on-demand service.

The City has successfully collaborated with Crowe, LLP on past and current projects. This expertise and knowledge of existing City systems will ensure that projects are delivered efficiently.

Included below is a sample of various projects Crowe have successfully delivered over the last decade. These primarily represent Project Management, Business Analysis, and various Assessments / Strategy / Planning projects --- just about any of the below would be included in the PMO as a service offering as part the 'menu.'
