2.3.1: General
Public Consulting Group (PCG) is pleased to offer the Indiana Department of Child Services (DCS)strong revenue management capabilities, an unblemished compliance record for revenue enhancementactivity, and an unmatched knowledge base across all child welfare programs. In this section you inviteRespondents to discuss those relevant and important factors that the State need consider for a successfulacquisition of the services requested in this RFS. PCG believes DCS should focus on five factors as itevaluates the Management Assessment/Quality of the business and technical proposal. They are:
Revenue Management Ability and Expertise
Accuracy and Compliance
Commitment to the Child Welfare Program Arena
Minimizing Client Risk
Specific Capabilities in RFS Requirements
In the following paragraphs here in Section 2.3.1, PCG discusses why these factors matter and how PCGmeasures up in each. We believe that PCG is a compelling choice for DCS when the scope of workoutlined in the RFS is viewed through these five highly relevant and important factors.
Revenue Management Ability and ExpertisePCG is one of the nations leading firms for assisting state and local government manage and enhancefederal revenue, while strictly adhering to state and federal compliance requirements. We have assistedmore than a dozen states over the last 20+ years in maximizing federal funds; correctly applying state and
federal policies and procedures; and, accurately distributing administrative costs incurred by state andlocal agencies administering government programs. Over the years, PCG has developed broad and deepexpertise in federal funding sources supporting health and human services including Titles II, IV-D,IV-E, XVI, XVIII, and XXI. PCG has worked on revenue maximization projects in a diverse set of statesincluding Illinois, Michigan, Texas, and Wisconsin in the midsection of our country; Arizona, Colorado,and Montana to the west; Florida, Louisiana, North Carolina, and Mississippi in the south; and,Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and West Virginia to the east. Our work in North Carolina,Texas, and West Virginia alone has yielded nearly $800 million in reimbursements and recoveries.
Accuracy and CompliancePCGs capacity for helping government maximize federal funding sources would be of little utility ifPCG was not equally adept at maintaining client compliance with state and federal rules and regulations.All of our work enhancing federal revenues, evaluating and assessing the effectiveness of programs,determining compliance, and recommending efficiencies -- must and does withstand scrutiny at all levels.Our work across the nation has been audited many times and has resulted in no unresolved federal

has expanded the staff working on child welfare services by 61%. PCG is investing in cutting-edgetechnology to support our program offerings, as you will see when you review our Cost Allocation andRMTS products in this proposal and our pilot project with Social Security Administration. We have wonnew engagements in 5 states in the last year including a SACWIS Feasibility Study for theCommonwealth of Pennsylvania and an SSI eligibility Project for the Illinois Department of Children andFamily Services.
Minimizing Client Risk
PCG is asking that you choose a new vendor for these services based on our ability to demonstratesuperiority in maximizing federal revenue in a compliant environment. But in making that decision, DCSalso needs assurances that it is not taking undue risk in replacing a known commodity. Will a new vendorbe able to efficiently transition the necessary infrastructure (e.g., office, staff, policies and procedures)without disrupting DCS operations? Also, what safeguards are in place to assure DCS a new vendor is asgood in practice as they read on paper and sound at orals?
These are reasonable questions and PCG has answered both in our proposal. Though not a requirement,we have included a detailed transition plandescribing how PCG will approach assumingresponsibility for this contract from the incumbent vendor. It addresses facility planning, staffing,telecommunications, computer systems, and knowledge transfer from the incumbent. PCG has opened upover 40 project offices, many of this same scale and several in this program arena. Our clients will tellyou that these transitions have been smooth and successful.
Also, again though not a requirement, PCG is proposing to provide DCS with additional safeguardsaround our proposed performance. In the past few years, PCG has increasingly participated inperformance-based contracts where part of our payment has been conditioned upon specific performance
expectations. While DCS does not define any performance-based payment provisions in the RFS, PCG isproposing to manage our performance utilizing Key Performance Indicators. The objective is forDCS to identify and communicate their most valued project goals and for PCG to continuallyconduct our work with these goals in mind, while executing all contract objectives and requirements.We think this is an innovative way to provide you the greatest assurance possible that choosing a newvendor is not a risky proposition.
Specific Capabilities in RFS RequirementsPCG will be bidding on both components as you have defined them in this RFP. PCG is perhaps one ofthe only firms in the country that has proven strength in each and every area that you are seeking. For us,child welfare is a business line that we have offered since 1993 and continues to be an area of growthfor us. We believe that we continue to grow in this area because of our continued investment in ourpeople, processes and technologies. For Component 1, please consider the following:
PCG operates Cost Allocation Plans and manages RMTS in 18 jurisdictions, including five in

PCG is experienced inworking with state and county administered systems. In some states,we must coordinate state cost allocation plans with county plans. We will be able to adapt toyour state county requirements quickly.
Rate setting and cost finding are areas of strength for PCG. As one example, CMS touts as amodel best practice the PCG rate setting and cost reimbursement methodologies. Our ratesetting and cost finding methodologies have been accepted by ACF as well in each and everycase. Our team combines excellent methods with knowledge of the subject matter which is
unbeatable. Our project team will produce better cost allocation and RMTS results because we have
professionals that know IV-E, XIX, TANF, CCDF, SSBG and IV-B to name a few. To produce acost allocation plan that is compliant and maximizes revenue is no easy feat, but with a team ofexperts in each federal funding source and a staff committed to knowing your programsand spending items, we are confident that we can do just that.

2.3.2: Company Structure
PCG-INDIANA, INC. is an Indiana corporation and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Public ConsultingGroup, Inc. Public Consulting Group, Inc. is a privately owned subchapter S corporation.
PCG recently formed this subsidiary as part of a business development plan for Midwest expansion. Aseparate wholly-owned subsidiary best positions PCG to pursue opportunities in Indiana in all of itsverticals, described below. This RFS is the first, and certainly not the last, opportunity for PCG to benefitIndiana economically and programmatically, consistent with PCGs mission of helping public sectorclients achieve their performance goals and better serve populations in need. If we are successful in this bid, we will move our PCG-INDIANA subsidiary from its current location in Jeffersonville toIndianapolis within 60-90 days of contract award. And, while we will utilize members of our national
staff during the transition period, PCG estimates that we will have 80% of our workforce for thisproject residing, and paying taxes, in Indiana over the life of this contract.

plan, including both uses for plans and the plan development process, and to have more detaileddiscussions about how to use a cost allocation plan as a revenue maximization tool. The presenting teamused its experience in developing cost allocation plans nationwide to convey the importance ofmaintaining compliance with federal regulations (i.e., OMB A-87 and the corresponding implementationguide ASMB C-10) while creating a plan that is an effective fiscal tool. PCG has begun deliveringadvanced cost allocation plan trainings as well. These trainings focus on many of the same areaspresented in the basis trainings, but delve into additional detail related to each topic. The advancedtrainings also consist of reviews of actual cost allocation plans, breakout discussion sessions related to
hot-topics, and participants are usually the preparers of their organizations cost allocation plan.
