STATEMENT OF WORK FOR TIlE
CORPUS CHRISTI STR NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROJECT
BACKGROUND
Today Northrop Grm'nman is the prime conlzactor for the supply, installation~ and mainmnaru:~ of a Wireless
Automated Meter Reading system for the City of Corpus Christi which will utilize the City's WiFi network for
data baclrhmfl SI~xt in 2004, the WiFi network deployment is approxirmtely 25% complete and the AMR
deployment in Areas [ and 2 is about 80% complete. Both ~stems seem to be Ol~'ating as expected_
Additionally, both ~ City and Tropos Networks, Inc. have expm~l interest in Nortl~:~p Grm'nrmm
~ssmnmg responsibility for fm'~er phases of the network's field installation requirements and Northrop
Grornmn's CAD 911 emergency dispatch system has been approved under an on-going solicilatio~ by the
City. Obviously, Corpus Christi is rapidly exploiting technologies that promise to fimdamentally change the
business methodologies employed by city departments and thereby strata the current IT infrastructure and
processes.
In assessing the current and projected needs of the IT department, the City of Corpus Christi initiated
discussions vath Northrop Gnunman to investigate strategic IT assessment and planning services to assist the
City in meeting it's near and far mrna goals. The City wants to improve upon the technology already in place
and build upon the recent technology advances. Northrop Crrm,~,,,~n will propose to provide the City with
definitive Strategic Technology Roadm,p Planning (STR). Before this project canbe fully envisioned, scoped,
and planned, Northrop Gmmrnan proposes to provide the City with an initial m~ssm~nt of i~s technology,
organiT~tion, processes and oppormmtias.
Northrop Gm proposes taking a two-step approach to assist the City of Corpus ChrWd with its IT
S~xategic Plarmmg. FLrst, in an initial Needs Assessment Northrop Grtl~'aman ~ hold inteawiews amd review
documenta~on so as to identify and document the current system and processes, problem arms, the
technologies, the processes, and work scope for ensuing phases. The second ~ep is a comprehensive Strategic
Technology project which will b~ a much larger and in-depth assessment of those problem areas with a
detailed future state for Corpus Christi's IT environment This second step will include Northrop Grnmman's
recommended initiatives in a Strategic Technology Roaflmap that the City can use as a blueprint ~o achieve the
envisioned environment The deliverable report for the step-one Needs ~t will be employed by the
STR Team in step-two both in assessing the As-Is environment and in defining the envisioned environment in
a ga~ analysis. The proposed step-one Needs Asses~anent project will set the stage for the step-two Strategic
Teelmology Roadmap Planning Project for the City of Corpus Clmsti. The protx>sed initial assessment will
provide a picture of the City's organization and technology; identify problem mynas and processes, technology
and technology gaps and prioritize problem areas as well as provide a detailed scope of work for the step-two
STR Planmng Project

Following completion of the KY DOC Information S~-alegic Planning project, Northrop C~nrn~n was
asked to determme offender infomuttion requirements to bt: used for the future design of a planned Offender
Management System (OMS). Ms. Arvin led a t~k that defined and documented Functional Requirements for
the OMS. To do this, she performed further analysis of the Business Axeas outlined in a past deliverable to
define the system modules for the new OMS. With the modules outlined, the group then documented system
functional requirements mcludin8 ~ggers, inputs, requirements, outputs, and module interfaces. Ms. Arvin
also authored much of the actual writing of the Functional Requirements deliverable document and presented
these requirements to KY DOC project ma~gement_
Project Manager, KY DOC BuMne~s Process Reengineering Implementation Projects
Ms. AlVin managed fiYe business process ;ecngtmermg OBPR) nnplemantation projects. These
