Dear Mr. Maitland:

Thank you for the opportunity of proposing our services to assist the City
of Port Coquitlam in a systems review.

This proposal has been prepared based on our earlier discussion and our
review of working papers of the System evaluation and selection study we
conducted for the City in 1982. It outlines:

> Our understanding of your current situation.
» "Our proposed consulting program.

» Staffing, duration and cost of the study.

A. OUR UNDERSTANDING OF YOUR CURRENT SITUATION

In early 1982, Thorne Stevenson & Kellogg completed a systems evaluation
and selection study on behalf of the City of Port Coquitlam. This study resulted
in the implementation of a Basic Four Mode! 710 mini computer system supplied
by MAI Canada Ltd. The same company also provided you with a software
package that was extensively modified to meet your needs. You are reasonably
pleased with this system.

Since then, you have expanded your use of this computer system. For
example, you are now entering payroll input data daily instead of weekly. You
have also implernented many enhancements into your software package. The
hardware configuaration has expanded from four terminals to today's twelve
comprised of seven data processing and five word processing terrninals. The on-
line disk storage has also increased from 70 million characters to today's 225
million. You process about 120,000 transactions and spend approximately

$15,000 on software enhancements annually,
