ATTN: Teresa Thompson
Dear Teresa,
Thank you for including ECS Imaging in the request for proposals of the City of Lo Quinta's Document
Scanning Services project. We are committed to meeting and exceeding the City's comprehensive
document scanning and indexing needs for its immediate and future requirements.
ECS Imaging, Inc. is submitting our proposal to provide back file and future scanning services to digitize
specific file types including general ledgers, soil and hydrology reports, capital improvement projects,
encroachment permits, building permits and plans, and environmental impact reports. The City's multi-
year project involves scanning records in hundreds of file boxes and plan rolls. The images will then be
uploaded utilizing Laserfiche Briefcase onto the City's Laserfiche server. ECS installed and currently
supports the City's Laserfiche System and is already familiar with the City's document management
requirements. As your current Laserfiche provider since 2003 it is our goal to provide exceptional
services as required in the Request for Proposal.
ECS currently has two scanning bureaus, one in Concord, CA serving Northern California, and another at
its headquarters in Riverside, CA. Both of these operations can perform paper scanning as well as
scanning of various Microform. The benefit that this has for our clients is that we can scan any
document and have the scanned images loaded on to vour Laserfiche server, making them immediately
accessible without the need for additional conversion or indexine. All scannine for the Citv of La Quinta
will be performed by ECS staff and conducted at our main office located at 5905 Brockton Ave, Suite C
Riverside, CA 92506.
All information and pricing contained in this proposal will be valid for a period of ninety (90) days
following the date of submission. All ECS employees who will be performing work for the City of La

D. Disclosure
ECS Imaging, Inc. has no prior contract failures, and is not now and has never been involved in any civil
or criminal litigation or investigation. ECS Imaging has no negative history.
E. Explanation of Methodology
1. PICK UP AND DELIVERY
ECS will pick up documents with our full time employees oyees only, maintaining a protected chain of custody 9
at all times. Documents will be picked up on a scheduled basis. Each set of boxes will be given a unique
"job number" that will assist ECS with project tracking, turnaround times, production process i]
management, quality control and inventory of records throughout the entire project. ,, a
Documents are transported in standard size banker's boxes. Each box will be counted and inventoried at
the time of pick up. The driver will have a pick up order clearly identifying the "job number", date of
pick up, type of records, and number of boxes (i.e. 36 boxes # 1-36). City staff will sign and verify the
number of boxes being picked up and a copy will be left.
Upon Completion of that job (batch) ECS will contact the City representative and schedule the return
delivery. A Delivery sheet for that "Job number" will accompany the return delivery of the boxes and the
completed images. _City representative will sign and verify the return of the documents and the _
completed images.
2. TURNAROUND TIME FOR DOCUMENT RETURN AND DIGITAL FILE DELIVERY
Logically, every client's needs are different. Therefore every ECS scanning project is uniquely customized
to meet specific client requirements. Our experienced staff will assist the City and provide guidance
throughout the development of the scanning criteria. In the end, client involvement and input in J
conjunction with the expertise of the ECS scanning staff will yield a successful scanning project.
Turnaround times will be determined based on the number of boxes picked up and the quantity and
condition of the documents to be scanned.
Below is the general processes performed on each batch of scanning. Modifications to our processes are (J
made as needed to further ensure the overall quality of each scanning project. Client contact and >
interaction will affect the outcome.
iJ
3. DOCUMENT TRACKING
L-1
Document tracking begins with the customer. The better the files are prepared for pick-up, the better L i
we can track and verify throughout the process. A comprehensive inventory of the files to be picked up U
should be provided whenever possible. Inventory verification information should be referenced on the
outer face of all boxes to allow for verification at time of pick-up. Based on the provided information we
will document which files (typically referenced in ranges) have been provided. The provided inventory of
Ll
ECS Imaging, Inc. 5905 Brockton Ave., Suite C, Riverside, CA 92506 Page. 10 J
files will be used for Quality Assurance purposes throughout the scanning process. The final verification
of files will be conducted prior to delivery after all other processes are completed.
4. DIGITAL CONTENT TRACKING
The digital content is created via Laserfiche scanning software and is housed directly onto a server
designated to our scanning customers. Each separate scanning project will be processed in a separate
repository specifically created to suit the unique needs of the project. Each box will be processed as a
separate unit (see processing steps below). All processing will be conducted at "box level" until the final
formatting is conducted by the scan supervisor. Each box will be tagged upon arrival. The tag will
provide a single location to track the processes listed below
• Each box will be prepped and the tag will be signed off by that operator
• Each box will be scanned and the tag will be signed off by that operator
• Laserfiche will retain the "created by" information to track who scanned the box
• Each box will be indexed and the tag will be signed off by that operator
• Laserfiche will retain the "last modified by" information to track who indexed the box
The indexed data for each box will be verified by a second operator and the tag will be signed off by that
operator. If any corrections are made to a document, the `last modified by" will be changed to track
who last edited the file. The indexed data and document structure for each box will be further verified
by the scan supervisor before the box is considered "validated". Validated boxes are physically "
segregated from the in -process boxes. Images for the validated boxes are segregated within the
repository. Data properties (number of documents, number of images, and data size) are recorded and
tracked throughout the scanning process.
S. INDEXING PROCEDURES
Indexing requirements are unique to each scanning project. Customers are encouraged to be heavily
involved in the development of indexing criteria. The scanned images will be sent to an index station.
The index process will include capture of unique document details via the OCR (Optical Character
Recognition) process that will allow search and retrieval within the Laserfiche document imaging system
retrieval software. Second pass Image quality control and job specifications verification is done at this
time.
• Quickfields/auto-population is strongly recommended*
• Identify a key piece of information known as a Unique Identifier. This will be the only manually
entered data we enter into your template
• Provide an excel file that will tie the Unique Identifier to other desired field data. This file will be
used to auto -populate the fields you wish to have indexed.
• The scanning supervisor will conduct the auto -population and verify accuracy
*Using this processing technique we can eliminate many common data entry errors.

B. QUALITY ASSURANCE 1.1
Image Quality Assurance is conducted at the time of scanning. Adjustments are made to each image on
an as needed basis. Image Quality Assurance verification is conducted by the scan supervisor, when the a
supervisor finds a sub -standard scan, the scan operator will be instructed to correct the scan. � U
G
Each step in the process is signed off and dated by the operator who performed the step. The •
supervisor routinely monitors and verifies each step. When a problem is found it is addressed with the
appropriate operator; the operator then corrects the problem. The error is also addressed and
discussed with the group to avoid duplication of the error. j
ECS Imaging's Scan Bureau Supervisor will be in contact with City staff to determine any specifications
not outlined in the RFP..

ECS Imaging, Inc. 5905 Brockton Ave., Suite C, Riverside, CA 92506 Page. 12 ill
Black and White or Color documents will be scanned at 300 dpi in TIFF file format, named and indexed
according to the document naming conventions determined by the City. Manual indexing is limited to
what is available on the scanned images of any given document.
6. NAMING CONVENTION
Naming conventions are specified by the customer and vary based on customer needs. We recommend
that uickfields be used to auto -populate the template fields and to name the documents. A
document's field data will comprise the document name and will create a standardized format for the
3
naming convention. The scan supervisor will ensure the final product meets the needs specified by the
requirements of the RFP. Any document(s) that does not fit the specified criteria will be addressed with
the City staff; any variations to the criteria must be specified in advance.,
7. OUTPUT TO DELIVERY METHOD
The scanned and indexed images are sent to the output station for burn to delivery media. The media
attendant will verify image quality and index integrity via spot checking throughout the job (batch). The..
burned media will be tested for functionality and labeled as specified prior to delivery. This is our final
pass for Image Quality Control. The City can choose to have the scanned and indexed images loaded';
directly onto their Laserfiche server via a portable hard drive. If images are delivered via a portable hard
drive, no tax will apply as taxes apply only when tangible goods are sold.
3
Individualizing task segments allows us to.physically review the image quality in 3 separate passes while /
0/0
maintaining projected production speeds. This is the most efficient means of minimizing production
errors without the high cost of "Page by Page Individual Review". 7
IJ
Page by Page Individual Review can be done if requested by the City at an additional cost per hour.
