In this engagement, the <br />City and MGT of America, Inc. (MGT) will enter into a partnership that will result in a modern <br />and defensible City cost allocation plan that is based on OMB A-87 principles and an <br />understanding of cost allocation principles that have been applied by our consulting staff tracing <br />back to the mid-1970s. <br /> <br />In August 2007, MGT acquired PRM, and the former PRM staff form the core of our state and <br />local government costing practice. Over the past year, the costing practice has doubled in size as <br />MGT continues to expand its consulting staff to meet the needs of our local agency clients. <br />MGT is a national research and management consulting firm specializing in providing <br />management and financial services to public-sector clients. Over the past 34 years, we have <br />successfully served more than 3,200 clients in 48 states and several foreign countries. With 130 <br />professionals we are small enough to provide personalized service with reasonable fees; yet, <br />large enough to serve a national client base and exceed the requirements of the most <br />sophisticated clients. <br /> <br />The benefit of MGT's costing services commitment to Redwood City is the deepest, most <br />experienced staff of cost accounting experts in the nation. We have the resources, the <br />commitment and the expertise to ensure that every MGT engagement is successful, especially <br />Redwood City's cost allocation plan project. <br /> <br />Benefits to Redwood City <br />Raw numbers are the means to an end, not the end itself. The City will receive the following <br />benefits from partnering with MGT for this cost allocation plan project: <br /> <br />.:. A Track Record of Excellence.
