Item Title: Approve Appointments to the Cities Association of Santa Clara County Joint Powers Authority (Staff Contact: Matt Cano, Deputy City Manager, 408-586-3012) Category: Consent Calendar-Leadership and Support Services Meeting Date: 12/12/2023
Recommendation: (1) Approve the appointment of Mayor Montano as board member to the Cities Association of Santa Clara County Joint Powers Authority; and (2) Approve the appointment of Vice Mayor Chua as alternate board member to the Cities Association of Santa Clara County Joint Powers Authority.
Background:
Over thirty years ago, the cities and towns in Santa Clara County (“Member Agencies”) established the Cities Association of Santa Clara County (CASCC) to improve cooperation and collaboration on issues of common interest. The intent was to consolidate and maintain the functions and purposes of the Inter-City Council, the Santa Clara County Mayor’s Conference, and the City Selection Committee for Santa Clara County. In 1990, the Member Agencies entered into an agreement to provide some structure and outline the purpose and function of the CASCC, eventually adopting bylaws and operating as an unincorporated association.
Over the past two years, the CASCC has conducted outreach and solicited input on a proposed draft Joint Powers Authority (JPA) Agreement. Following significant review and updates in response to concerns from Member Agencies, the CASCC Board approved the agreement on September 14, 2023.
To form the JPA, a formal JPA Agreement must be approved by the CASCC Board of Directors and then executed by each Member Agency that wishes to join the JPA. To date, thirteen cities in Santa Clara County have voted to support the new JPA, including the City of Milpitas, and formation of the new JPA is expected in February 2024.
Analysis:
The City of Milpitas approved entering into the JPA agreement on December 5, 2023. With the formation of the JPA, the original organization will be dissolved and new board members must be appointed to the Joint Powers Authority. As the 2023 appointees to the Cities Association of Santa Clara County, it is recommended that Mayor Carmen Montano be appointed as the City of Milpitas board member to the JPA and Vice Mayor Evelyn Chua be appointed as the alternate board member.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact with this item appointment of members to the CASCC JPA.
California Environmental Quality Act:
By the definition provided in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15378, this action does not qualify as a “project” for the purpose of CEQA.
Recommendation(s):
(1) Approve the appointment of Mayor Montano as board member to the Cities Association of Santa Clara County Joint Powers Authority;
(2) Approve the appointment of Vice Mayor Chua as alternate board member to the Cities Association of Santa Clara County Joint Powers Authority.

Item Title: Approve and Authorize the City Manager to Negotiate and Execute Amendment No. 2 to the Professional Services Agreement with David J.
Powers & Associates, Inc. in the Amount of Not To Exceed $400,000 for Completing the Environmental Review pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and requirements of the California Department of Transportation Office of Local Assistance (Caltrans) for S.
Milpitas Blvd Vehicle Bridge at Penitencia Creek, Project No. 2016 (Staff Contact: Matt Cano, Deputy City Manager / Interim City Engineer, 408- 586-3012)
Category: Consent Calendar-Community Development
Meeting Date: 12/12/2023
Recommendation: Approve and authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute Amendment No. 2 to the Professional Services Agreement with David J. Powers in the Amount of not to exceed $400,000 for completing the environmental review pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and requirements of the California Department of Transportation Office of Local Assistance (Caltrans) for S. Milpitas Blvd Vehicle Bridge at Penitencia Creek, Project No. 2016.
BACKGROUND:
The S. Milpitas Boulevard Bridge at Penitencia Creek, Project No. 2016 (“Projects”) is included in the adopted 2024-2028 Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
On April 20, 2021, the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement (Attachment A) with David J Powers in an amount not-to-exceed $184,785 to perform environment review of the S. Milpitas Boulevard Bridge at Penitencia (VOC) and the Pedestrian Overcrossing at Montague Expressway and Penitencia Creek Project (POC) pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act. On June 6, 2023.
In March 2022, the VOC project was selected to receive a $3-million federal grant earmarked through the Community Project Funding/Congressionally Directed Spending. As part of the federal grant requirements, the Project will need to complete a separate environmental review process pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) which will be administered by Caltrans. The additional work required under NEPA was not included in the original consultant agreement. With a funding obligation expiration date of 9/30/2025, the NEPA environmental review must begin immediately.
On January 6 2023, the City Council authorized Amendment No.1 for additional environmental review including updating the CEQA Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration, completing the permitting process with regulatory agencies, and begin Caltrans’s NEPA process for the amount of $150,000 (Attachment B).
ANALYSIS:
The project is currently in design phase. Per Grant requirements, NEPA and related federal statutes will be required prior to issuing the project for bid. The level of environment study needed for the project is still unknown.
Caltrans will identify the type of environmental documents and technical studies needed for the project after
Caltrans completes the review of Project Preliminary Environmental Study (PES) and conducts the field review of the site, which anticipated to be completed by January 2024.
Staff engaged with David J Powers to obtain the cost proposal for the additional services needed to complete NEPA process. Pending on the final determination by Caltrans on the level of study required, David J Powers estimated a budget of $400,000 to complete the work with the assumption that the project is qualified for Categorical Exclusion that include the following studies:
•Natural Environment Study Minimal Impacts
•Visual Impact Assessment Memorandum
•Archaeological Survey Report
•Historic Resources Evaluation Report
•Historic Properties Survey Report
•Paleontological Investigation Report/Paleontological Evaluation Report •Noise Study Report
•Air Quality Report
•Air Quality Transportation Conformity Documentation Package •Energy Study
•Transportation data
The process can take up to 18 months. Additional studies may be needed if more higher environment study is required. Due to schedule constraint and to meet the grant obligation deadline, it is critical that the studies begins as soon as they are identified by Caltrans. Staff is asking for authority for the City Manager to negotiate and execute amendments up to an additional $400,000 in value to cover the costs of these additional studies.
POLICY ALTERNATIVE(S):
Alternative: Deny approval of the amendment no.2 and do not proceed with NEPA process for the project.
Pros: None.
Cons: As part of the federal grant funding requirement, compliance with NEPA is required and must be completed prior to the grant obligation deadline. Without meeting the deadline, the City is at risk of losing the $3 million grant.
Reason for Not Recommending: NEPA approval is required to receive the $3 million grant to supplement the overall project funding.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Sufficient funds are available in the project budgets. CIP 2016’s funding source is from Transit Area Specific Plan (TASP) Impact Fees. As of December 7, 2023, the balance in S. Milpitas Blvd. Vehicle Bridge at Penitencia CIP 2016 is $4,405,966.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA):
The environmental consultant is currently finalizing the initial study to support the adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) pursuant to CEQA and is planning to bring to the Council for adoption in Spring 2024.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve and authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute Amendment No. 2 to the Professional Services Agreement with David J. Powers in the Amount of Not To Exceed $400,000 for completing environmental review pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and requirements of the
California Department of Transportation Office of Local Assistance (Caltrans) Services for S. Milpitas Blvd Vehicle Bridge at Penitencia, Project No. 2016.

Item Title: Approve and Authorize the City Manager to Execute the Five-Year Software as a Service (SaaS) Agreement with Tyler Technologies for Financial System Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Human Resources Information System (HRIS) (Staff Contact: Lauren Lai, Finance Director 408-586-3111; and Vicky Lien, Acting Human Resources Director 408-586-3085)
Category: Consent Calendar-Leadership and Support Services Meeting Date: 12/12/2023
Recommendation: Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute the five-year Software as a Service Agreement with Tyler Technologies for Financial System Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Human Resources Information System (HRIS) for an amount not to exceed $2,123,588 and delegate authority to the City Manager for additional optional 5 years and change order authority up to 10%.
Background:
Currently, the City has an obsolete financial system with limited human resources functionality. The City utilizes Cayenta System which is 26 years old (installed in1996) and by any standard, this is considered extremely outdated. While the City implemented multiple upgrades throughout the years, the current system is obsolete, resulting in paper-intensive, manual procedures; higher risks of error; insufficient information for informed labor relations/management; insufficient reporting for fiscal management and transparency; and impacts services to the community.
On April 18, 2023, the City Council deliberated on this information system challenge and approved CIP Project 3466 Financial System Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and CIP Project 3467 Human Resources Information System (HRIS) in the adopted the 2024-2028 Capital Improvement Program.
In November 2022, the City entered into an agreement with Plante & Moran, PLLC (Plante Moran), a consulting firm that specializes in helping clients to perform ERP assessment. Plante Moran designed this assessment project in five phases, which includes the following:
1. Phase One: Project Management: Identify project key personnel in the City and develop detail project plan.
2. Phase Two: ERP Needs Assessment: Review City’s procedural documentation and conduct stakeholder interviews. The goal is to document and analyze the current state of the system and business processes, and to identify gaps in functionalities, inaccuracies and inefficiencies.
3. Phase Three: Request for Proposal (RFP): Based on the Needs Assessment result, Plante Moran assisted to develop a request for proposal (RFP) document for an ERP solution.
4. Phase Four: Solution Selection: Plante Moran assisted in solution selection and assisted to identify the finalist of the RFP process.
5. Phase Five: ERP contract negotiation: Plante Moran assisted with contract negotiation to achieve optimal terms and conditions for the recommended contract.
The City conducted and successfully completed the solicitation through a request for proposal (RFP) RFP 23- 078 for Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Services, which was published in May 2023.
Analysis:
On May 24, 2023, the City’s Purchasing Division released RFP No. 23-078 for ERP Services. The scope of work was developed working in concert with Plante Moran. The scope of work identified the core (required) and expanded (optional) components of the solution and related implementation services. The core/required application software includes the following:
1. Finance
a. Accounts Payable
b. Accounts Receivable
c. Budget
d. Cash Receipting

f. Fixed Assets
g. General Ledger
h. Grant and Project Accounting

c. Recruiting
2. Utility Billing
a. Account Management
b. Billing
c. Cash Receipting

e. Delinquency Processing
f. Bill Rate Management
g. Service Requests
The RFP was publicly noticed in accordance with the City’s Municipal Code, advertised on the City’s website, emailed to companies registered with the City via Procurement.OpenGov.com (the City’s eProcurement system).
Upon release, 1268 firms received notification of the RFP. Sixty-nine (69) firms downloaded the RFP documents.
Five (5) addendums were issued and forty-one (41) clarifying questions were answered by City staff. Six (6) firms responded to the RFP by the published closing date of July 13, 2023.
The RFP was evaluated and scored in three rounds of evaluation. The first round of scoring was performed by City of Milpitas Purchasing staff to review the RFP response completeness, and to confirm the RFP was submitted timely. Based on the result of the first-round scoring, the City selected the following five (5) vendors for further evaluation:
1. Avaap (Workday/SpryPoint)
2. Collaborative (Workday/SpryPoint)
3. Cayenta, A Division of Harris Computer
4. Cogsdale
5. Tyler Technologies (Tyler)
The second and third rounds of the scoring were performed by the selection committee with assistance provided by Plante Moran. The selection committee is comprised of City staff members in Finance, Human Resources, and Information Technology Departments. The second and third round of the scoring were based on the following five criteria: 1) System functionality, 2) Cost, 3) Vendor viability, 4) Implementation services and ongoing support, and 5) Technical requirement. Five (5) proposals were reviewed by the selection committee, and three (3) vendors were invited to participate in a virtual interview process. The final top two (2) vendors Tyler Technologies and Collaborative (Workday/SpryPoint) were identified as the two highest ranked submissions after round 2 scoring. They were invited to attend an in-person demonstration section. These information sessions were to gather further information regarding their proposals and offer the selection committee the opportunity to ask clarifying questions.

Technical Requirements 3 4
Weighted Score 65.00 82.25
Throughout the RFP process, Tyler Technologies consistently exceled in four out of the five scoring criteria.
They are Functionality, Cost, Vendor Viability, and Technical Requirements. Tyler Technologies provides ERP support and solutions exclusively to the government marketplace since 1982. Currently, Tyler serves 65 local governments in the State of California. During the demonstration session, Tyler demonstrated a modern and configurable reporting dashboard, integrated and customizable reporting capabilities, digitized workflows and content management. Tyler offers an integrated solution for a broad portfolio of financial and human resources functions. This integrated aspect includes automated workflow to improve operational efficiency by eliminating numerous repetitive tasks. The integrated aspect will also significantly improve reporting functionality for data-driven decisions, enhance transparency and fiscal sustainability and improve customer services to the Council and Milpitas community.
Based on the proposal submitted and subsequent negotiations, staff recommends awarding a contract to Tyler Technologies. If the Council approves this contract, Tyler will begin the planning stage with the City no later than forty five (45) calendar days following agreement execution. This ERP implementation is a two-phased project. The first phase is to implement Finance core functionalities with a target go live date in July 2025.
The second phase is to implement Human Resources/Payroll core functionalities with a target go live date in January 2026. Moreover, City staff will continue to explore utility billing solutions to improve operations and enhance customer services.
Also, effective project management and temporary staff augmentation are critical components of a successful ERP implementation and organizational change management. On behalf of the City, the project manager will work closely with City staff and Tyler team to monitor the project progress and resolve issues. Temporary staff augmentation will enable the Finance, Human Resources and Information Technology Departments to properly engage in this project to design, implement, test and train for a successful implementation, while ensuring the essential day-to-day duties are performed within these respective functions.
This Tyler contract and ERP solution will enable the City to modernize the Financial and Human Resources solutions to digitize workflows; reduce risks of error; access information for labor relations/management; access reporting for fiscal management and transparency; and especially improve the customer service experience for our community.
Policy Alternatives:
Alternative 1: Not award ERP contract to Tyler Technologies.
Pros: Fund would be not spent on this priority.
Cons: The City will continue using the current system Cayenta for the ERP solutions. Staff will continue to perform manual entry and use spreadsheets for tracking and reporting purposes. In addition, Human Resources will not have a real ERP solution to help alleviate the manual workload in order to improve processes and increase operational efficiencies.
Reason not recommended: The City will not be able to benefit from utilizing the modern system with integrated workflow and reporting capabilities. As mentioned above, Human Resources will not have a real ERP solution to help alleviate the manual workload in order to improve processes and increase operational efficiencies.
Ultimately, the City will not be able to sustain the expected level of superior customer service to our residents and employees if we do not have the technology systems to support our required workflows and workload.
Fiscal Impact:
Should Council approve this contract, the five-year SaaS agreement with Tyler Technologies for ERP and HRIS is for an amount not to exceed $2,123,588. Moreover, the City Manager may authorize the optional 5 years and change order authority up to 10%. The CIP FY23-24 Adopted Budget appropriated sufficient funding for this contract and the cost of project management.
Fiscal Summary of Contract (5-years):
One time Fee Recurring Fee Total

Total Contract Cost (5 years) $ 883,718 $ 247,974 $ 2,123,588 Fiscal Summary of CIP projects:
The CIP FY23-24 Adopted Budget includes $2,950,000 for projects CIP 3466 Financial System Enterprise Resource Planning ($1,850,000) and CIP 3467 Human Resources Information System ($1,100,000). This funding will be utilized to pay for the initial one time costs, initial recurring costs, future optional/expanded applications and project management. The funding sources include: ARPA Federal Fund, Technology Replacement Fund, General Fund Technology Replace Reserve, Water and Sewer Funds and General Government CIP Fund.
Moreover, the CIP FY24-25 budget would request Council’s funding appropriation for the required temporary staff augmentation as is programmed in the City Council adopted 2024-2028 Capital Improvement Program.
Subsequent to year 3, the annual SaaS would be incorporated into the annual operating budget development.

We will make all reasonable efforts to reassign personnel in the event you cancel within four (4) weeks of scheduled commitments.

This cooperation includes at least working with us to schedule the implementation-related services outlined in this Agreement. We will not be liable for failure to meet any deadlines and milestones when such failure is due to Force Majeure or to the failure by your personnel to provide such cooperation and assistance (either through action or omission).
11. Maintenance and Support. For so long as you timely pay your SaaS Fees according to the Invoicing and Payment Policy, then in addition to the terms set forth in the SLA and the Support Call Process, we will:

We will use all reasonable efforts to perform support services remotely. Currently, we use a third-party secure unattended connectivity tool called Bomgar, as well as GotoAssist by Citrix. Therefore, you agree to maintain a high-speed internet connection capable of connecting us to your PCs and server(s). You agree to provide us with a login account and local administrative privileges as we may reasonably require to perform remote services. We will, at our option, use the secure connection to assist with proper diagnosis and resolution, subject to any reasonably applicable security protocols.

Tyler will correct the Defect(s) or provide a mutually agreeable plan for future resolution of any Defect(s). A dispute with respect to the plan shall be addressed pursuant to the Dispute Resolution Process of this Agreement. Upon resolution of a Defect during the Test Period, Client may re- perform testing for a maximum of fifteen (15) calendar days. This procedure shall repeat until all Defects have either been resolved or the Client and Tyler, reasonably cooperating, have developed a mutually agreeable schedule for Defect resolution, at which point the Client shall issue Project Closure. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Client may request an extension of the Test Period or any fifteen (15) day retesting period as a result of city closures scheduled, work stoppages, or other unforeseen events occurring during such periods, and Tyler will not unreasonably refuse such request. The requested extension shall be reasonably equivalent to the duration of the city closure(s).

25.2 If the services are being performed as part of an applicable “public works” or “maintenance” project, then pursuant to Labor Code Sections 1725.5 and 1771.1, the Proposer and all subconsultants performing such services must be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations. Proposer shall maintain registration for the duration of the Project and require the same of any subconsultants, as applicable.

It shall be Proposer’s sole responsibility to comply with all applicable registration and labor compliance requirements. Any stop orders issued by the Department of Industrial Relations against Proposer or any subcontractor that affect Proposer’s performance of services, including any delay, shall be Proposer’s sole responsibility. Any delay arising out of or resulting from such stop orders shall be considered Proposer caused delay and shall not be compensable by the City. Proposer shall defend, indemnify, and hold the City, its officials, officers, employees, and agents free and harmless from any claim or liability arising out of stop orders issued by the Department of Industrial Relations against Proposer or any subcontractor.
26. Laws and Venue. This Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

16 judgment, decision, or order; or (ii) provide the City documentary evidence of a payment or other alternative plan approved by the court/government agency to satisfy the judgment, decision, or order.

If the Disclosing Party waives compliance or, after providing the notice and assistance required under this Section, the Receiving Party remains required by law to disclose any Confidential Information, the Receiving Party shall disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information that the Receiving Party is legally required to disclose.
29. Security.
29.1. Contractor will implement commercially reasonable administrative, technical, organizational, and physical safeguards designed to ensure the security and confidentiality of City data, protect against anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of City data, and protect against unauthorized access or use of City data or its accidental loss, destruction, or damage. The Contractor will review and test such safeguards on no less than an annual basis.
29.2. If a breach of security or confidentiality of personal data or personal information occurs, and it requires notification to the City’s users/customers under any state or federal law, then the City shall have sole control over the timing, content, and method of such notification provided that Contractor is given notice as soon as commercially reasonable and prior to any Contractor notification to users in order to take any steps related to mitigation. If Contractor or its subcontractors is responsible for the breach, then Contractor shall reimburse the City for its reasonable costs in providing the notification.
For the avoidance of doubt, this provision only applies to breach notifications applying only to City’s users or customers. Additionally, this provision shall not prevent Contractor from complying with applicable law.
30. Assignment and Subcontracting. The Parties recognize that a substantial inducement to City for entering into this Agreement is the professional reputation, experience, and competence of Contractor. Assignments of any or all rights, duties or obligations of Contractor under this Agreement will be permitted only with the City’s express consent. The foregoing notwithstanding, Contractor reserves the right to assign this Agreement, without City’s consent, as a result of a corporate reorganization, merger, acquisition, or purchase of substantially all of Contractor’s assets.

If City consents to such subcontract, Contractor shall be fully responsible to City for all acts or omissions of the subcontractor.

31. Audit Rights. During the Term and for five (5) years after the termination of this Contract, Proposer shall retain, and the City and its authorized representatives shall have the right to audit, examine, and make copies of, all of Proposer’s books, accounts, and other records related to this Contract and Proposer’s costs for providing goods to the City, including, but not limited to those kept by the Proposer’s agents, assigns, successors, and Subcontractors.

Schedule 1
Business Travel Policy
1. Air Travel
A. Reservations & Tickets
The Travel Management Company (TMC) used by Tyler will provide an employee with a direct flight within two hours before or after the requested departure time, assuming that flight does not add more than three hours to the employee’s total trip duration and the fare is within $100 (each way) of the lowest logical fare. If a net savings of $200 or more (each way) is possible through a connecting flight that is within two hours before or after the requested departure time and that does not add more than three hours to the employee’s total trip duration, the connecting flight should be accepted.
Employees are encouraged to make advanced reservations to take full advantage of discount opportunities. Employees should use all reasonable efforts to make travel arrangements at least two (2) weeks in advance of commitments. A seven (7) day advance booking requirement is mandatory. When booking less than seven (7) days in advance, management approval will be required.
Except in the case of international travel where a segment of continuous air travel is six (6) or more consecutive hours in length, only economy or coach class seating is reimbursable. Employees shall not be reimbursed for “Basic Economy Fares” because these fares are non-refundable and have many restrictions that outweigh the cost-savings.
B. Baggage Fees
Reimbursement of personal baggage charges are based on trip duration as follows:
•Up to five (5) days = one (1) checked bag
•Six (6) or more days = two (2) checked bags
Baggage fees for sports equipment are not reimbursable.

Employees who have been designated a home office should calculate miles from their home.
B. Rental Car
Employees are authorized to rent cars only in conjunction with air travel when cost, convenience, and the specific situation reasonably require their use. When renting a car for Tyler business, employees should select a “mid-size” or “intermediate” car. “Full” size cars may be rented when three or more employees are traveling together. Tyler carries leased vehicle coverage for business car rentals; except for employees traveling to Alaska and internationally (excluding Canada), additional insurance on the rental agreement should be declined.
C. Public Transportation
Taxi or airport limousine services may be considered when traveling in and around cities or to and from airports when less expensive means of transportation are unavailable or impractical.

D. Parking & Tolls
When parking at the airport, employees must use longer term parking areas that are measured in days as opposed to hours. Park and fly options located near some airports may also be used. For extended trips that would result in excessive parking charges, public transportation to/from the airport should be considered. Tolls will be reimbursed when receipts are presented.
3. Lodging
Tyler’s TMC will select hotel chains that are well established, reasonable in price, and conveniently located in relation to the traveler's work assignment. Typical hotel chains include Courtyard, Fairfield Inn, Hampton Inn, and Holiday Inn Express. If the employee has a discount rate with a local hotel, the hotel reservation should note that discount and the employee should confirm the lower rate with the hotel upon arrival. Employee memberships in travel clubs such as AAA should be noted in their travel profiles so that the employee can take advantage of any lower club rates.
“No shows” or cancellation fees are not reimbursable if the employee does not comply with the hotel’s cancellation policy.
Tips for maids and other hotel staff are included in the per diem rate and are not reimbursed separately.
Exhibit B
Schedule 1
3 Employees are not authorized to reserve non-traditional short-term lodging, such as Airbnb, VRBO, and HomeAway. Employees who elect to make such reservations shall not be reimbursed.
4. Meals and Incidental Expenses
Employee meals and incidental expenses while on travel status within the continental U.S. are in accordance with the federal per diem rates published by the General Services Administration.
Incidental expenses include tips to maids, hotel staff, and shuttle drivers and other minor travel expenses. Per diem rates are available at www.gsa.gov/perdiem.
Per diem for Alaska, Hawaii, U.S. protectorates and international destinations are provided separately by the Department of State and will be determined as required.
A. Overnight Travel
For each full day of travel, all three meals are reimbursable. Per diems on the first and last day of a trip are governed as set forth below.
Departure Day
Depart before 12:00 noon Lunch and dinner
Depart after 12:00 noon
Return Day
Dinner
Return before 12:00 noon Breakfast
Return between 12:00 noon & 7:00 p.m. Breakfast and lunch Return after 7:00 p.m.* Breakfast, lunch, and dinner
*7:00 p.m. is defined as direct travel time and does not include time taken to stop for dinner.
The reimbursement rates for individual meals are calculated as a percentage of the full day per diem as follows:
Breakfast 15%
Lunch 25%
Dinner 60%
B. Same Day Travel
Employees traveling at least 100 miles to a site and returning in the same day are eligible to claim lunch on an expense report. Employees on same day travel status are eligible to claim dinner in the event they return home after 7:00 p.m.*
*7:00 p.m. is defined as direct travel time and does not include time taken to stop for dinner.
Exhibit B
Schedule 1
4 5. Internet Access – Hotels and Airports
Employees who travel may need to access their e-mail at night. Many hotels provide free high speed internet access and Tyler employees are encouraged to use such hotels whenever possible. If an employee’s hotel charges for internet access it is reimbursable up to $10.00 per day. Charges for internet access at airports are not reimbursable.
6. International Travel
All international flights with the exception of flights between the U.S. and Canada should be reserved through TMC using the “lowest practical coach fare” with the exception of flights that are six (6) or more consecutive hours in length. In such event, the next available seating class above coach shall be reimbursed.
When required to travel internationally for business, employees shall be reimbursed for photo fees, application fees, and execution fees when obtaining a new passport book, but fees related to passport renewals are not reimbursable. Visa application and legal fees, entry taxes and departure taxes are reimbursable.
The cost of vaccinations that are either required for travel to specific countries or suggested by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services for travel to specific countries, is reimbursable.
Section 4, Meals & Incidental Expenses, and Section 2.b., Rental Car, shall apply to this section.

SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT
I. Agreement Overview
This SLA operates in conjunction with, and does not supersede or replace any part of, the Agreement. It outlines the information technology service levels that we will provide to you to ensure the availability of the application services that you have requested us to provide. All other support services are documented in the Support Call Process. This SLA does not apply to any Third Party SaaS Services. All other support services are documented in the Support Call Process.
II. Definitions. Except as defined below, all defined terms have the meaning set forth in the Agreement.
Actual Attainment: The percentage of time the Tyler Software is available during a calendar month, calculated as follows: (Service Availability – Downtime) ÷ Service Availability.
Client Error Incident: Any service unavailability resulting from your applications, content or equipment, or the acts or omissions of any of your service users or third-party providers over whom we exercise no control.
Downtime: Those minutes during Service Availability, as defined below, when all users cannot launch, login, search or save primary data in the Tyler Software. Downtime does not include those instances in which only a Defect is present.
Emergency Maintenance Window: (1) maintenance that is required to patch a critical security vulnerability; (2) maintenance that is required to prevent an imminent outage of Service Availability; or (3) maintenance that is mutually agreed upon in writing by Tyler and the Client.
Planned Downtime: Downtime that occurs during a Standard or Emergency Maintenance window.
Service Availability: The total number of minutes in a calendar month that the Tyler Software is capable of receiving, processing, and responding to requests, excluding Planned Downtime, Client Error Incidents, denial of service attacks and Force Majeure. Service Availability only applies to Tyler Software being used in the live production environment.
Standard Maintenance: Routine maintenance to the Tyler Software and infrastructure. Standard Maintenance is limited to five (5) hours per week.
III. Service Availability
a. Your Responsibilities
Whenever you experience Downtime, you must make a support call according to the procedures outlined in the Support Call Process. You will receive a support case number. b. Our Responsibilities
Exhibit C
2 When our support team receives a call from you that Downtime has occurred or is occurring, we will work with you to identify the cause of the Downtime (including whether it may be the result of Planned Downtime, a Client Error Incident, denial of service attack or Force Majeure). We will also work with you to resume normal operations.
c. Client Relief
Our targeted Attainment Goal is 100%. You may be entitled to credits as indicated in the Client Relief Schedule found below. Your relief credit is calculated as a percentage of the SaaS Fees paid for the calendar month.
In order to receive relief credits, you must submit a request through one of the channels listed in our Support Call Process within fifteen days (15) of the end of the applicable month. We will respond to your relief request within thirty (30) day(s) of receipt.
The total credits confirmed by us will be applied to the SaaS Fee for the next billing cycle. Issuing of such credit does not relieve us of our obligations under the Agreement to correct the problem which created the service interruption.
Credits are only payable when Actual Attainment results in eligibility for credits in consecutive months and only for such consecutive months.
Client Relief Schedule
Actual Attainment Client Relief
99.99% - 99.70% Remedial action will be taken
99.69% - 98.50% 2% of SaaS Fees paid for applicable month
98.49% - 97.50% 4% of SaaS Fees paid for applicable month
97.49% - 96.50% 6% of SaaS Fees paid for applicable month
96.49% - 95.50% 8% of SaaS Fees paid for applicable month Below 95.50% 10% of SaaS Fees paid for applicable month * Notwithstanding language in the Agreement to the contrary, Recovery Point Objective is one (1) hour.
IV. Maintenance Notifications
We perform Standard Maintenance during limited windows that are historically known to be reliably low-traffic times. If and when maintenance is predicted to occur during periods of higher traffic, we will provide advance notice of those windows and will coordinate to the greatest extent possible with you.
Not all maintenance activities will cause application unavailability. However, if Tyler anticipates that activities during a Standard or Emergency Maintenance window may make the Tyler Software unavailable, we will provide advance notice, as reasonably practicable, that the Tyler Software will be unavailable during the maintenance window.

Support Call Process
Support Channels
Tyler Technologies, Inc. provides the following channels of software support for authorized users*:
(1) On-line submission (portal) – for less urgent and functionality-based questions, users may create support incidents through the Tyler Customer Portal available at the Tyler Technologies website.
A built-in Answer Panel provides users with resolutions to most “how-to” and configuration- based questions through a simplified search interface with machine learning, potentially eliminating the need to submit the support case.
(2) Email – for less urgent situations, users may submit emails directly to the software support group.
(3) Telephone – for urgent or complex questions, users receive toll-free, telephone software support.
* Channel availability may be limited for certain applications.
Support Resources
A number of additional resources are available to provide a comprehensive and complete support experience:
(1) Tyler Website – www.tylertech.com – for accessing client tools, documentation, and other information including support contact information.
(2) Tyler Search -a knowledge based search engine that lets you search multiple sources simultaneously to find the answers you need, 24x7.
(3) Tyler Community –provides a venue for all Tyler clients with current maintenance agreements to collaborate with one another, share best practices and resources, and access documentation. (4) Tyler University – online training courses on Tyler products.
Support Availability
Tyler Technologies support is available during the local business hours of 8 AM to 5 PM (Monday – Friday) across four US time zones (Pacific, Mountain, Central and Eastern). Tyler’s holiday schedule is outlined below. There will be no support coverage on these days.
New Year’s Day Labor Day
Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Thanksgiving Day
Memorial Day Day after Thanksgiving

We will also make commercially reasonable efforts to be available for one pre-scheduled Saturday of each month to assist your IT staff with applying patches and release upgrades, as well as consulting with them on server maintenance and configuration of the Tyler Software environment.
Incident Handling
Incident Tracking
Every support incident is logged into Tyler’s Customer Relationship Management System and given a unique case number. This system tracks the history of each incident. The case number is used to track and reference open issues when clients contact support. Clients may track incidents, using the case number, through Tyler’s Customer Portal or by calling software support directly.
Incident Priority
Each incident is assigned a priority level, which corresponds to the Client’s needs. Tyler and the Client will reasonably set the priority of the incident per the chart below. This chart is not intended to address every type of support incident, and certain “characteristics” may or may not apply depending on whether the Tyler software has been deployed on customer infrastructure or the Tyler cloud. The goal is to help guide the Client towards clearly understanding and communicating the importance of the issue and to describe generally expected response and resolution targets in the production environment only.
References to a “confirmed support incident” mean that Tyler and the Client have successfully validated the reported Defect/support incident.

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 of Milpitas (collectively the “Project”).
The overall goals of the project are to:
▪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 of Milpitas 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 of Milpitas’s complexity and organizational needs.
City of Milpitas, 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 of Milpitas and Tyler commit to including the necessary leadership and governance. During each stage of the Project, it is expected that the City of Milpitas 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 of Milpitas’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.
City of Milpitas, CA
Tyler Technologies, Inc. Page | 3
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 of Milpitas 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 of Milpitas Steering Committee become the escalation points to triage responses prior to escalation to the City of Milpitas 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 of Milpitas and Tyler executive sponsors serve as the final escalation point.
City of Milpitas, CA
Tyler Technologies, Inc. Page | 4
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 of Milpitas; for example, the City of Milpitas may decide it no
City of Milpitas, CA
Tyler Technologies, Inc. Page | 5
longer needs a deliverable originally defined in the Project. The Change Request will include the following information:
▪The nature of the change.
▪A good faith estimate of the additional cost or associated savings to the City of Milpitas, if any. ▪The timetable for implementing the change.
▪The effect on and/or risk to the schedule, resource needs or resource responsibilities.
The City of Milpitas 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 of Milpitas). 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.
City of Milpitas, 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 of Milpitas office or department designates specific individuals for making decisions on behalf of their offices or departments.
Both Tyler and the City of Milpitas 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 of Milpitas feedback and approval on Project deliverables will be critical to the success of the Project. The City of Milpitas project manager will strive to gain deliverable and decision approvals from all authorized City of Milpitas 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 of Milpitas 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 of Milpitas 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 of Milpitas 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 of Milpitas does not agree the Deliverable or Control Point meets requirements, the City of Milpitas 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.

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.
City of Milpitas, CA
Tyler Technologies, Inc. Page | 21
The City of Milpitas 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 of Milpitas 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 of Milpitas’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 and not responded with a “Y” or “F” or “R” in Tyler’s Requirements response of the RFP will follow the agreed upon change control process and can have impacts on the project schedule, scope, budget, and resource availability.
