I I' City of Redwood City, California Response to Request for Proposal For Overhead Cost Allocation Plan .:. A professional, well-managed, accurate and on-time consulting engagement. Our consultants are located in California and provide an extravagant level of on-site consultation. .:. Kick off training sessions with all local stakeholders to explain the cost allocation process, to answer questions and allay any apprehensions about the anticipated process. We believe this is a critical step. Enterprise fund managers must understand that MGT is there to allocate central services costs in a fair and equitable manner. Our firm does not come into an engagement looking for a preconceived "number." We value transparency and integrity in all of our engagements above all else. .:. A consulting team that is capable of performing the requested services with minimal disruption to, and minimal assistance from City personnel. .:. A fundamental understanding of the process to prepare the cost allocation plan, how to analyze and interpret the cost allocation plan results, and how to fully utilize the managerial and financial information found in the cost allocation plan. .:. Management reports such as an annual variance analysis and unit cost calculations that are customized to meet the specific and unique needs of the City. Providing only the project deliverables takes the "consulting" out of the term "consulting engagement." We understand the City is requesting expertise from a firm that can not only prepare an accurate and timely cost allocation plan but also provide true consulting services that will turn the cost allocation plan data into useful, meaningful and understandable financial and managerial information. Redwood City will receive more than an accounting report with a few numbers to plug into a budget or a journal entry. The MGT cost allocation plan will be a vital management tool. 2.
