PROJECT OVERVIEW
This document will serve as the preliminary Statement of Work (SOW), agreement between Merrill & Associates (hereafter referred to as Merrill) and the City of Costa Mesa (hereafter referred to as Client).

Merrill will design, implement, and project manage the successful implementation of the following:
• The City of Costa Mesa will provide all Virtual Servers (VMWare) resources for this project. • Merrill will Configure and Download software onto Customer (City of Costa Mesa) provided servers.
• Merrill to Configure Avaya Aura CM release 10 Software to mirror Costa Mesa’s existing Avaya Release 6 configuration.

• Please Note:

Ensure all users have set up their mailboxes on the current Aura Messaging System. Their name, greeting, and any existing messages in their mailbox will be migrated to the new system.
• If they do not complete this setup, the new system—by default—does not include text-to- speech functionality. This means that if a user has not recorded at least their name in their current mailbox, callers sent to voicemail will hear:
“You have reached mailbox number XXXX” instead of the user’s name. • Merrill to replace the existing G650 Gateways with new G450 Gateways with Media Modules.
• Merrill to upgrade existing (3) Remote Location S8300 LSP processors to Avaya’s most current supported S8300E version.
• Merrill will move all existing Analog and Digital sets to the upgraded Platform (Gateways at the CORE).
• Merrill will move all existing City of Costa Mesa T1 Circuits, Analog Lines and Fax Lines in- service at the CORE to the upgraded Avaya Aura Platform. • Merrill will install and train City of Costa Mesa personal on a new Call Detail Recording (CDR) subscription software Package.
• City of Costa Mesa will now be able to execute up to a Five (5) year fixed rate Software Subscription agreement with CMR10 software.
• City of Costa Mesa will now be able to execute up to a Five (5) year fixed rate Hardware support agreement with the upgraded G450 Gateways and Media Modules.

The U.S. Government has announced new tariffs that increase the cost of certain goods imported into the country. As a result, effective April 21, 2025, a new line item will appear on our invoices labeled “Duties Recovery Fee.” This fee will cover additional costs resulting from the tariffs. Please note that this fee will not be reflected in Merrill and Associates existing or future quotes – it will only be added when invoices are generated. This is similar to how Freight and Taxes are shown on your invoices today.

Importantly, this recovery fee will only be applied while the tariffs remain in effect. You should, however, expect a timing lag when tariffs are removed, to consume existing inventory which has been tariffed but not yet sold.
