Part 1: Executive Summary
1.Project Overview
1.1Introduction
Tyler Technologies (“Tyler”) is the largest and most established provider of integrated software and technology services focused solely on the public sector. Tyler’s end-to-end solutions empower public sector entities including local, state, provincial and federal government, to operate more efficiently and connect more transparently with their constituents and with each other. By connecting data and processes across disparate systems, Tyler’s solutions transform how clients gain actionable insights that solve problems in their communities.
1.2Project Goals
This Statement of Work (“SOW”) documents the methodology, implementation stages, activities, and roles and responsibilities, and project scope listed in the Investment Summary of the Agreement between Tyler and the City (collectively the “Project”).
The overall goals of the project are to:
▪Implement a full ERP system covering the Human Resources and Financial Management functions as outlined in the RFP document and Tyler’s signed response to the RFP ▪To the maximum extent practicable, eliminate manual and/or paper-based processes from the employee experience
▪To the maximum extent practicable, document and reimagine the City’s business processes to take full advantage of the Munis ERP system’s best practices and innovations ▪Provide trust-worthy financial and human resource information to City management that is relevant to their role and delivered timely where needed (mobile/desktop/laptop/etc.) ▪Train Finance, Human Resource and designated key “power users” in the full use of the system as implemented ensuring City staff are able to fully utilized the system as implemented ▪Successfully implement the contracted scope on time and on budget ▪Increase operational efficiencies and empower users to be more productive ▪Improve accessibility and responsiveness to external and internal customer needs ▪Overcome current challenges and meet future goals
1.3Methodology
This is accomplished by the City and Tyler working as a partnership and Tyler utilizing its depth of implementation experience. While each Project is unique, all will follow Tyler’s six-stage methodology. Each of the six stages is comprised of multiple work packages, and each work package includes a narrative description, objectives, tasks, inputs, outputs/deliverables, assumptions, and a responsibility matrix.
Tailored specifically for Tyler’s public sector clients, the project methodology contains Stage Acceptance Control Points throughout each Phase to ensure adherence to scope, budget, timeline controls, effective communications, and quality standards. Clearly defined, the project methodology repeats consistently across Phases, and is scaled to meet the City’s complexity and organizational needs.
Menifee, CA
Tyler Technologies, Inc. Page | 2
The methodology adapts to both single-phase and multiple-phase projects.
To achieve Project success, it is imperative that both the City and Tyler commit to including the necessary leadership and governance. During each stage of the Project, it is expected that the City and Tyler Project teams work collaboratively to complete tasks. An underlying principle of Tyler’s Implementation process is to employ an iterative model where the City’s business processes are assessed, configured, validated, and refined cyclically in line with the project budget. This approach is used in multiple stages and work packages as illustrated in the graphic below.
The delivery approach is systematic, which reduces variability and mitigates risks to ensure Project success. As illustrated, some stages, along with work packages and tasks, are intended to be overlapping by nature to complete the Project efficiently and effectively.

Part 2: Project Foundation
2.Project Governance
Project governance is the management framework within which Project decisions are made. The role of Project governance is to provide a decision-making approach that is logical, robust, and repeatable. This allows organizations to have a structured approach for conducting its daily business in addition to project related activities.
This section outlines the resources required to meet the business needs, objectives, and priorities for the Project, communicate the goals to other Project participants, and provide support and guidance to accomplish these goals. Project governance defines the structure for escalation of issues and risks, Change Control review and authority, and Organizational Change Management activities. Throughout the Statement of Work Tyler has provided RACI Matrices for activities to be completed throughout the implementation which will further outline responsibilities of different roles in each stage. Further refinement of the governance structure, related processes, and specific roles and responsibilities occurs during the Initiate & Plan Stage.
The chart below illustrates an overall team perspective where Tyler and the City collaborate to resolve Project challenges according to defined escalation paths. If project managers do not possess authority to determine a solution, resolve an issue, or mitigate a risk, Tyler implementation management and the City Steering Committee become the escalation points to triage responses prior to escalation to the City and Tyler executive sponsors. As part of the escalation process, each Project governance tier presents recommendations and supporting information to facilitate knowledge transfer and issue resolution. The City and Tyler executive sponsors serve as the final escalation point.

3.Project Scope Control
3.1Managing Scope and Project Change
Project Management governance principles contend that there are three connected constraints on a Project:
budget, timeline, and scope. These constraints, known as the “triple constraints” or project management triangle, define budget in terms of financial cost, labor costs, and other resource costs. Scope is defined as the work performed to deliver a product, service or result with the specified features and functions, while time is simply defined as the schedule. The Triple Constraint theory states that if you change one side of the triangle, the other two sides must be correspondingly adjusted. For example, if the scope of the Project is increased, cost and time to complete will also need to increase. The Project and executive teams will need to remain cognizant of these constraints when making impactful decisions to the Project. A simple illustration of this triangle is included here, showing the connection of each item and their relational impact to the overall Scope.
A pillar of any successful project is the ability to properly manage scope while allowing the appropriate level of flexibility to incorporate approved changes. Scope and changes within the project will be managed using the change control process outlined in the following section.
3.2Change Control
It may become necessary to change the scope of this Project due to unforeseeable circumstances (e.g., new constraints or opportunities are discovered). This Project is being undertaken with the understanding that Project scope, schedule, and/or cost may need to change to produce optimal results for stakeholders.
Changes to contractual requirements will follow the change control process specified in the final contract, and as described below.
3.3Change Request Management
Should the need for a change to Project scope, schedule, and/or cost be identified during the Project, the change will be brought to the attention of the Steering Committee and an assessment of the change will occur. While such changes may result in additional costs and delays relative to the schedule, some changes may result in less cost to the City; for example, the City may decide it no longer needs a deliverable originally defined in the Project. The Change Request will include the following information:
Menifee, CA
Tyler Technologies, Inc. Page | 5
▪The nature of the change.
▪The additional cost or associated savings to the City will be included to help make the decision. ▪The timetable for implementing the change.
▪The effect on and/or risk to the schedule, resource needs or resource responsibilities. ▪Tyler will work with the City to define what is and is not within scope before writing up the change request form.
The City will use its good faith efforts to either approve or disapprove any Change Request within ten (10) Business Days (or other period as mutually agreeable between Tyler and the City). Any changes to the Project scope, budget, or timeline must be documented and approved in writing using a Change Request form. These changes constitute a formal amendment to the Statement of Work and will supersede any conflicting term in the Statement of Work.
Menifee, CA
Tyler Technologies, Inc. Page | 6
4.Acceptance Process
The implementation of a Project involves many decisions to be made throughout its lifecycle. Decisions will vary from higher level strategy decisions to smaller, detailed Project level decisions. It is critical to the success of the Project that each City office or department designates specific individuals for making decisions on behalf of their offices or departments.
Both Tyler and the City will identify representative project managers. These individuals will represent the interests of all stakeholders and serve as the primary contacts between the two organizations.
The coordination of gaining City feedback and approval on Project deliverables will be critical to the success of the Project. The City project manager will strive to gain deliverable and decision approvals from all authorized City representatives. Given that the designated decision-maker for each department may not always be available, there must be a designated proxy for each decision point in the Project. Assignment of each proxy will be the responsibility of the leadership from each City department. The proxies will be named individuals that have the authorization to make decisions on behalf of their department.
The following process will be used for accepting Deliverables and Control Points:
•The City shall have ten (10) business days from the date of delivery, or as otherwise mutually agreed upon by the parties in writing, to accept each Deliverable or Control Point. If the City does not provide acceptance or acknowledgement within ten (10) business days, or the otherwise agreed upon timeframe, not to be unreasonably withheld, Tyler deems the Deliverable or Control Point as accepted.
•If the City does not agree the Deliverable or Control Point meets requirements, the City shall notify Tyler project manager(s), in writing, with reasoning within ten (10) business days, or the otherwise agreed-upon timeframe, not to be unreasonably withheld, of receipt of the Deliverable. •Tyler shall address any deficiencies and redeliver the Deliverable or Control Point. The City shall then have two (2) business days from receipt of the redelivered Deliverable or Control Point to accept or again submit written notification of reasons for rejecting the milestone. At this point the City’s written approval or signature will be required to confirm acceptance of the Deliverable or Control Point and continue moving forward with scheduled project activities.
5.Roles and Responsibilities
The following defines the roles and responsibilities of each Project resource for the City and Tyler. Roles and responsibilities may not follow the organizational chart or position descriptions at the City, but are roles defined within the Project. It is common for individual resources on both the Tyler and City project teams to fill multiple roles. Similarly, it is common for some roles to be filled by multiple people.
5.1Tyler Roles & Responsibilities
Tyler assigns a project manager prior to the start of each Phase of the Project (some Projects may only be one Phase in duration). Additional Tyler resources are assigned as the schedule develops and as needs arise.

6.Project Stages
Work Breakdown Structure
The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is a hierarchical representation of a Project or Phase broken down into smaller, more manageable components. The top-level components are called “Stages” and the second level components are called “Work Packages”. The work packages, shown below each stage, contain the high-level work to be done. The detailed Project Schedule, developed during Project/Phase Planning and finalized during subsequent stages, lists the tasks to be completed within each work package. Each stage ends with a “Control Point”, confirming the work performed during that stage of the Project has been accepted by the City. *Items noted with an asterisk in the graphic above relate to specific products and services. If those products and services are not included in the scope of the contract, these specific work packages will be noted as “Intentionally Left Blank” in Section 6 of the Statement of Work.

6.1Initiate and Plan
The Initiate and Plan stage involves Project initiation, infrastructure, and planning. This stage creates a foundation for the Project by identifying and establishing sequence and timing for each Phase as well as verifying scope for the Project. This stage will be conducted at the onset of the Project, with a few unique items being repeated for the additional Phases as needed.
6.1.1Initial Coordination
Prior to Project commencement, Tyler management assigns project manager(s). Additional Project resources will be assigned later in the Project as a Project schedule is developed. Tyler provides the City with initial Project documents used to gather names of key personnel, their functional role as it pertains to the Project, as well as any blackout dates to consider for future planning. the City gathers the information requested by the provided deadline ensuring preliminary planning and scheduling can be conducted moving the Project forward in a timely fashion. Internally, the Tyler Project Manager(s) coordinate with sales to ensure transfer of vital information from the sales process prior to scheduling a Project Planning Meeting with the City’s team. During this step, Tyler will work with the City to establish the date(s) for the Project and Phase Planning session.
Objectives:
▪Formally launch the project.
▪Establish project governance.
▪Define and communicate governance for Tyler.
▪Identify City project team.

6.1.2Project/Phase Planning
Project and Phase planning provides an opportunity to review the contract, software, data conversions and services purchased, identify applications to implement in each Phase (if applicable), and discuss implementation timeframes.
During this work package Tyler will work with the City to coordinate and plan a formal Project planning meeting(s). This meeting signifies the start of the Project and should be attended by all City Project team members and the Tyler Project Manager. The meeting provides an opportunity for Tyler to introduce its implementation methodology, terminology, and Project management best practices to the City’s Project Team. This will also present an opportunity for project managers and Project sponsors to begin to discuss Project communication, metrics, status reporting and tools to be used to measure Project progress and manage change.
Tyler will work with the City Project Team to prepare and deliver the Project Management Plan as an output of the planning meeting. This plan will continue to evolve and grow as the Project progresses and will describe how the project will be executed, monitored, and controlled.
During project planning, Tyler will introduce the tools that will be used throughout the implementation. Tyler will familiarize the City with these tools during project planning and make them available for review and maintenance as applicable throughout the project. Some examples are Solution validation plan, issue log, and go-live checklist.

6.2.2Current & Future State Analysis
The Current & Future State Analysis provides the Project stakeholders and Tyler an understanding of process changes that will be achieved with the new system.
The City and Tyler will evaluate current state processes, options within the new software, pros and cons of each based on current or desired state and make decisions about the future state configuration and processing. This may occur before or within the same timeframe as the configuration work package. The options within the new software will be limited to the scope of this implementation and will make use of standard Tyler functionality.
The City will adopt the existing Tyler solution wherever possible to avoid project schedule and quality risk from over customization of Tyler products. It is the City’s responsibility to verify that in-scope requirements are being met throughout the implementation if functional requirements are defined as part of the contract.
The following guidelines will be followed when evaluating if a modification to the product is required:
▪A reasonable business process change is available.
▪Functionality exists which satisfies the requirement.
▪Configuration of the application satisfies the requirement. ▪An in-scope modification satisfies the requirement.
Requirements that are not met will follow the agreed upon change control process and can have impacts on the project schedule, scope, budget, and resource availability.

6.2.3Conversion Assessment
Data Conversions are a major effort in any software implementation. Tyler’s conversion tools facilitate the predictable, repeatable conversion process that is necessary to support a successful transition to the Tyler system. The first step in this process is to perform an assessment of the existing (“legacy”) system(s), to better understand the source data, risks, and options available. Once the data has been analyzed, the plan for data conversion is completed and communicated to the appropriate stakeholders.
Objectives:
▪Communicate a common understanding of the project goals with respect to data. ▪Ensure complete and accurate source data is available for review/transfer. ▪If source data is a Tyler legacy system, Tyler will perform the data mappings. If source data is from a third party, client is responsible for mapping the data from the source to the Tyler system.

6.3Prepare Solution
During the Prepare Solution stage, information gathered during the Initiate & Plan and Assess & Define stages will be used to install and configure the Tyler software solution. Software configuration will be validated by the City against future state decisions defined in previous stages and processes refined as needed to ensure business requirements are met.
6.3.1Initial System Deployment
The timely availability of the Tyler Solution is important to a successful Project implementation. The success and timeliness of subsequent work packages are contingent upon the initial system deployment of Tyler Licensed Software on an approved network and infrastructure. Delays in executing this work package can affect the project schedule.
Objectives:
▪Active Directory integration is defined, configured, and operational including integration/support of
DUO MFA
Identity Workforce, Tyler’s authentication framework for Tyler back-office solutions built on Okta, supports industry standard identity providers (IdP’s) for seamless, single sign-on. This enables clients to use their own login and password policies, including the use of multifactor authentication (MFA) for enhanced identity verification.
The Identity Workforce User Store, included with Identity Workforce Core which comes standard with all Tyler solutions, can be used to create and manage accounts that do not exist in the client’s IdP, such as contractors or seasonal staff. Upgrading to Identity Workforce Advanced adds several additional identity management features including support for custom password policies and MFA used with Identity Workforce User Store accounts. MFA options include email, SMS, and authenticator apps such as Okta Verify and Google Authenticator.
Identity Community, Tyler’s authentication framework for community users external to an organization, such as vendors, businesses, and residents, supports self-service account creation and management through email or social identity providers, such as Google, Apple, Microsoft, and Facebook. End-users can optionally enable multifactor authentication through any of these options.
MFA with Time & Attendance Timeclocks
Tyler’s Time and Attendance supports multifactor authentication for time entry with TouchTime timeclocks.
When multifactor authentication is enabled, users are required to use two different factors to login to the Menifee, CA
Tyler Technologies, Inc. Page | 24
TouchTime Device. Administrators can configure the two types to be any of the following: keypad entry, biometric (fingerprint) entry, and badge swipe. Proximity, barcode, and magnetic stripe badges are all considered to be a single authentication factor. These will all be logged as badge swipe authentication and are not recognized as separate authentication factors.
▪All licensed software is installed and operational.
▪Encryption of data in transit and data at rest is validated and compliant FIPS 140-2 standards Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption protects communication with Tyler applications, including end-user access through TLS-protected HTTPS. This widely adopted protocol secures sensitive data by preventing reading or modifying information transferred.
Tyler solutions run on AWS storage services, including Elastic Block Store (EBS) and Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3). The use of server-side encryption with AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) keys is used to encrypt at-rest data. This encryption is known as SSE-KMS. SSE-KMS uses one of the strongest block ciphers available to encrypt your data, 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES-256).
Tyler employs a FIPS-compliant enterprise backup solution certified for CJIS and GovCloud use. Data transfer and storage is encrypted as defined in FIPS140-2 and FIPS140-3 standards over private connections within the AWS network.
▪PII, PHI, and other protected data masking is validated as operational Policies are in place for storing personal identifiable information (PII). PII is data that can be used to identify a specific person. Common forms of PII include things like Social Security numbers, phone numbers, and addresses. Fields in HCM employee master and pay screens can be set to none, read-only, add, update, delete. Custom masking not available. Tyler implements a role-based access control methodology to ensure only authorized people with a need for access are given it. To the extent Tyler users have access, Tyler employs a least-privileged access strategy, meaning that individuals are given and use only the least administrative rights possible to do the task at hand. Tyler compliments these strategies with controls and monitoring to ensure only those authorized users can access the systems allowed. Upon termination or expiration of the SaaS contract, all application access is revoked. ▪Client receives most recent SOC1/SOC2 audit report(s)
▪The City can access the totality of software comprising the proposed system STAGE 3 Initial System Deployment (Hosted/SaaS)*

7.General Assumptions
Tyler and the City will use this SOW as a guide for managing the implementation of the Tyler Project as provided and described in the Agreement. There are a few assumptions which, when acknowledged and Menifee, CA
Tyler Technologies, Inc. Page | 40
adhered to, will support a successful implementation. Assumptions related to specific work packages are documented throughout the SOW. Included here are general assumptions which should be considered throughout the overall implementation process.
7.1Project
▪Project activities will begin after the Agreement has been fully executed. ▪The City Project Team will complete their necessary assignments in a mutually agreed upon timeframe to meet the scheduled go-live date, as outlined in the Project Schedule. ▪Sessions will be scheduled and conducted at a mutually agreeable time. ▪Additional services, software modules and modifications not described in the SOW or Agreement will be considered a change to this Project and will require a Change Request Form as previously referenced in the definition of the Change Control Process. ▪Tyler will provide a written agenda and notice of any prerequisites to the City project manager(s) ten (10) business days or as otherwise mutually agreed upon time frame prior to any scheduled on-site or remote sessions, as applicable.
▪Tyler will provide guidance for configuration and processing options available within the Tyler software. If multiple options are presented by Tyler, the City is responsible for making decisions based on the options available.
▪Implementation of new software may require changes to existing processes, both business and technical, requiring the City to make process changes.
▪The City is responsible for defining, documenting, and implementing their policies that result from any business process changes.
7.2Organizational Change Management
Unless otherwise contracted by Tyler, City is responsible for managing Organizational Change. Impacted City resources will need consistent coaching and reassurance from their leadership team to embrace and accept the changes being imposed by the move to new software. An important part of change is ensuring that impacted City resources understand the value of the change, and why they are being asked to change.
7.3Resources and Scheduling
▪City resources will participate in scheduled activities as assigned in the Project Schedule. ▪The City team will complete prerequisites prior to applicable scheduled activities. Failure to do so may affect the schedule.
▪Tyler and the City will provide resources to support the efforts to complete the Project as scheduled and within the constraints of the Project budget.
▪Abbreviated timelines and overlapped Phases require sufficient resources to complete all required work as scheduled.
▪Changes to the Project Schedule, availability of resources or changes in Scope will be requested through a Change Request. Impacts to the triple constraints (scope, budget, and schedule) will be assessed and documented as part of the change control process. ▪The City will ensure assigned resources will follow the change control process and possess the required business knowledge to complete their assigned tasks successfully. Should there be a change in resources, the replacement resource should have a comparable level of availability, change control process buy-in, and knowledge.
Menifee, CA
Tyler Technologies, Inc. Page | 41
▪The City makes timely Project related decisions to achieve scheduled due dates on tasks and prepare for subsequent training sessions. Failure to do so may affect the schedule, as each analysis and implementation session is dependent on the decisions made in prior sessions. ▪The City will respond to information requests in a comprehensive and timely manner, in accordance with the Project Schedule.
▪The City will provide adequate meeting space or facilities, including appropriate system connectivity, to the project teams including Tyler team members.
▪For on-site visits, Tyler will identify a travel schedule that balances the needs of the project and the employee.
7.4Data
▪Data will be converted as provided and Tyler will not create data that does not exist. ▪The City is responsible for the quality of legacy data and for cleaning or scrubbing erroneous legacy data.
▪Tyler will work closely with the City representatives to identify business rules before writing the conversion. The City must confirm that all known data mapping from source to target have been identified and documented before Tyler writes the conversion. ▪All in-scope source data is in data extract(s).
▪Each legacy system data file submitted for conversion includes all associated records in a single approved file layout.
▪The City will provide the legacy system data extract in the same format for each iteration unless changes are mutually agreed upon in advance. If not, negative impacts to the schedule, budget and resource availability may occur and/or data in the new system may be incorrect. ▪The City Project Team is responsible for reviewing the converted data and reporting issues during each iteration, with assistance from Tyler.
▪The City is responsible for providing or entering test data (e.g., data for training, testing interfaces, etc.)
7.5Facilities
▪The City will provide dedicated space for Tyler staff to work with City resources for both on-site and remote sessions. If Phases overlap, City will provide multiple training facilities to allow for independent sessions scheduling without conflict.
▪The City will provide staff with a location to practice what they have learned without distraction. f Menifee, CA

11.Project Timeline
11.1ERP Project Timeline
The Project Timeline establishes a target duration for each phase of the project. The timeline needs to account for resource availability, business goals, size and complexity of the project, and task duration requirements. These will be reviewed and adjusted, if needed, during the Initiate and Plan Stage. Refer to the Project Stages section of this SOW for information on work packages associated with each stage of the implementation. Durations may be revised when the Agreement is signed and further refined during the project.
Eden to Enterprise ERP project start dates are dependent on wave availability. Waves are a common implementation start month for a group of Eden clients. Each wave has a designated number of slots available for clients to sign up – once those slots are full you must choose an alternate wave with availability.
A signed agreement is required to reserve a spot in a specific wave.
