TO: Chair and Governing Board Members
FROM: Garrett Evans, Executive Director
SUBJECT: Adoption of a Housing Authority Resolution Approving the Section 8 Management Assessment Program Certification for Fiscal Year End June 30, 2024
MEETING DATE: August 19, 2024
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
As required compliance with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the Housing Authority of the City of Pittsburg (Housing Authority) has prepared the Section 8 Management Assessment Program (SEMAP) Certification for submission for fiscal year end June 30, 2024.
FISCAL IMPACT
This action has no fiscal impact to the General Fund or the Housing Authority Funds.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Governing Board of the Housing Authority adopt this Resolution approving the SEMAP Certification for fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, for submission to HUD no later than the August 30, 2024 deadline.
BACKGROUND
In 1999, HUD introduced the SEMAP as a management assessment system designed to provide an annual measurement of performance for all housing authorities administering the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program. HUD requires the SEMAP Certification be approved by resolution and transmitted electronically through HUD’s Public and Indian Housing Information Center (PIC) system within 60 days following the end of the fiscal year.
The SEMAP system assesses Housing Authority on 14 key indicators that show whether families are assisted fairly and expeditiously and in accordance with the Federal regulations governing the program. These fourteen (14) indicators are: 1) Selection from Waiting List; 2) Reasonable Rent; 3) Determination of Adjusted Income; 4) Utility Allowance Schedule; 5) Housing Quality Standards (HQS) Quality Control; 6) HQS Enforcement; 7) Expanding 26 Housing Opportunities; 8) Payment Standards; 9) Annual Reexaminations; 10) Correct Tenant Rent Calculations; 11) Pre-contract HQS; 12) Annual HQS; 13) Lease Up (Utilization); and 14) Family Self-Sufficiency. Eight indicators are based on information certified by the Housing Authority and the remaining six indicators are based on HUD’s PIC system data. Upon review of this SEMAP Certification by HUD, a determination will be made on the operational designation and regulatory compliance of the Housing Authority.
SUBCOMMITTEE FINDINGS
The SEMAP Certification was not discussed in a subcommittee.
STAFF ANALYSIS
The Housing Authority has prepared the SEMAP Certification to meet HUD’s requirements and upon Board approval, will submit the SEMAP Certification to HUD on or before the due date of August 30, 2024, for compliance.
It is important to note that Indicator 14, Family Self-Sufficiency, is rated for those housing authorities operating a Family Self Sufficiency (FSS) Program and have an FSS Coordinator. As the Housing Authority does not operate this program, it is assessed on the remaining 13 indicators for a maximum of 135 points.
Within the 13 remaining indicators, there is a cumulative 135-point total scale where the attainment of 90% or above (122+ points) will yield a designation of “High Performer,” a score between 60% and 89% (81 to 121 points) will yield a designation of “Standard Performer,” and a score of less than 60% (80 points) will yield a designation of “Troubled Performer”. HUD will conduct on-site reviews of housing authorities rated “Troubled” to assess the magnitude and severity of the problems.
The Housing Authority has in the past been designated a “High Performer” and current records indicate that it has successfully completed the 2024 requirements for most indicators to continue meeting the “High Performer” designation.
It is anticipated that HUD will post the Housing Authority’s designation within 120 days of submission of the SEMAP Certification.

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution and authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute software service agreements with 1) Tyler Technologies, Inc. for a new citywide Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System; and 2) NEOGOV for supplemental Human Resources cloud based services.
BACKGROUND
The City currently utilizes Eden from Tyler Technology, Inc. (Tyler) for Financial, HR, PR and UB management. This software system has been used by the City for the past 15 years. The Eden product is built on older technology and Tyler has stopped making feature enhancements to this product. While Tyler is still supporting Eden, it has set the sunset date of Eden to be March 1, 2027. This means that the City will have to migrate to a new system by the end of calendar year 2026 to ensure uninterrupted performance of the City’s vital systems.
39 While Eden customers of Tyler were notified about this sunset date in February 2022, the City was already aware of the impending plan to sunset Eden in advance of the February 2022 notification. This led the City to engage Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) as a consultant in November 2021 to carry out an ERP assessment study, recommend process and policy improvements, and eventually select a replacement ERP vendor through a request for proposal (RFP) process.
GFOA conducted a study of City business processes by forming nine Process Improvement Teams (PIT) for each of the critical functional areas of the ERP system. Each PIT Team comprised of subject matter experts as well as Citywide users of the specific functional area, with a team size of about 10 members for each team. In addition, a Project Management Team, comprising key stakeholders from Finance and Human Resources departments, was formed to provide input to GFOA. After a series of meetings with GFOA, as well as internal meetings, an RFP was developed, which would cater to the City’s ERP needs with respect to the core Financials, HR, and PR systems. This RFP was published to the vendor community on December 7, 2022. Pursuant to the GFOA recommendation, it was decided to have a separate RFP for the UB functionality.
SUBCOMMITTEE FINDINGS
The Finance Management Subcommittee was updated with the progress on the ERP procurement process at regular intervals as detailed below.
Date Description of update
July 21, 2023
First status update on ERP. The update covered the reason for the new ERP, goals for the new ERP, milestones achieved, and the anticipated implementation time and costs.
September 15, 2023
Second status update on ERP. The update covered milestones achieved, milestones yet to be achieved, and the revised implementation time and costs.
February 16, 2024 ERP goals were presented as part of the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 goals under Efficiency.
STAFF ANALYSIS
City received responses from five vendors to RFP on the due date of February 7, 2023, as detailed below:
# Vendor Name Address 5 Year price
1 CentralSquare 1000 Business Center Dr, Lake Mary, FL 32746 $1,644,112 2 Cyret Technologies 10687 Gatkins Way, Suite 200, Manassas, VA 20109 $1,066,326 3 Forsys 691 S Milpitas Blvd, Milpitas, CA 95035 $5,331,045 4 Origin Utility 1930 Village Center Circle, Suite 3-704, Las Vegas, NV 89134 $5,395,218
5 Tyler Technologies One Tyler Drive, Yarmouth, ME 04096 $2,555,342 The above prices were only for the Financials, HR and PR systems of the ERP system offered by each vendor, except for Forsys, which offered only Financials modules. 40 To evaluate the responses received for the RFP, the City established a nine-member Evaluation Team. The Evaluation Team is comprised of staff from Finance, HR, Information Technology (IT), Police, Public Works, Engineering, and the City Manager’s Office. Of the five proposals received, the Tyler proposal scored significantly higher than the other four proposals in terms of the overall scoring. The two proposals which were lower priced that Tyler were either a) deficient in meeting the City’s needs for an ERP; b) did not offer the best technical solution; or c) did not have adequate experience implementing ERPs for cities.
The next phase of evaluation consisted of discovery and demonstration sessions with Tyler.
These sessions were conducted May through September of 2023 with the participation of the PITs, Evaluation Team, Project Management Team and GFOA. While the core ERP products of Tyler (Financials, HR, and PR) fully met or exceeded the RFP requirements, additional products or modules from Tyler and one more vendor (NEOGOV) were thought to be necessary as part of the new ERP system to fully meet the needs of the City effectively and economically. These additional products/modules are as follows:
1. Utility Billing: It was envisioned that the City would release a separate RFP for the UB needs, as it is a niche market and there are several non-ERP vendors who have solutions in this functional area. However, during the discovery sessions with Tyler, it emerged that the City’s interest would be best served by opting for the UB system from Tyler as it included the functionality the City requires and can seamlessly integrate with the other modules.
Continued demonstrations and discovery sessions were conducted for Tyler’s UB modules.
The UB modules demonstrated its capabilities and Tyler offered attractive pricing.
The UB staff are well acquainted with the existing UB modules of Eden. Continuation of the familiarity with the new UB modules from Tyler will assist in the migration process.
Considering this, various evaluating teams recommended procurement of the UB modules from Tyler, rather than release a separate RFP for this requirement. Prices offered by Tyler for the UB modules are substantially lower than the industry pricing for a stand-alone product in this category.
The financial impact of the UB module is $ 396,716.
2. Expansion of NEOGOV products for Human Resources: During the discovery and demonstration session of the HR and PR modules of the new ERP system, it emerged that the new ERP system had limited capabilities in areas of recruitment, onboarding, learning and performance management. To align the City Council Strategic Goal of Increasing efficiency of City operations and services through technology and streamlined processes, HR staff proposed a supplement to the ERP by expanding services offered through HR’s current applicant tracking system provider, NEOGOV, to integrate services with the new the ERP system. NEOGOV currently provides the City with interactive software for employee recruitment. This software application module enables the HR Department to provide efficient, high-quality services to prospective and current employees.
Integration between NEOGOV and the new ERP system will automate new hire on- boarding, employee records and forms, performance management, training and development, as well as enhance the security of employee data, expedite the timing of personnel transactions, notifications and approvals, and reduce reliance on the use of paper.
41 NEOGOV is a leading public sector cloud-based workforce platform, serving over 6,000 organizations with the popular GovernmentJobs.com website promoting over 1.5 million job matches. NEOGOV has grown its platforms significantly over its 23 years as a company.
The City has been utilizing NEOGOV’s applicant tracking software (Insight) for applicants to apply and track their status using their mobile or other computer devices.
NEOGOV’s applicant tracking module saves the City on advertising costs as the service integrates with social media and garners over 6 million page views per month and provides staff with over 39 million applicant profiles. Accordingly, HR staff has recommended procurement of following modules from NEOGOV to cater to the entire employee lifecycle management.
a. Insight: This is a recruitment module already being used by the City. b. Onboarding: This module transitions job candidates through paperless on-boarding processes that accelerate the hiring stage and enhance communication. c. Learning Management: This module increases the productivity, safety, and retention of the workforce by engaging them in training opportunities and monitoring the training.
d. Performance Management: This module enhances communication, identifies employee strengths, and establishes a sense of purpose while measuring competencies and goals, developing succession plans, and automating the employee evaluation/coaching and development process.
e. eForms: This is a document and workflow management module that helps to create online forms, manage records and documents, and build seamless workflows.
NEOGOV will integrate with the new ERP system to automate the manual payroll, time, and attendance processes, and allow employees to access payroll and benefits information at their convenience. Combining these systems will eliminate spreadsheets and current tedious manual routines, as well as automated processes, provide greater transparency, and reduce the risk of human error.
Staff proposes to execute a five-year contract with NEOGOV for the implementation of a comprehensive human resources and talent management platform to support the entire employee lifecycle.
The financial impact of the above stated NEOGOV modules is $430,211.
3. Additional Products: During the discovery and demonstration sessions of the new ERP system, Tyler demonstrated its products in the areas of:
a. Transparency: Tyler has a product called Open Finance which provides a transparent look at the City’s various revenue sources and types of expenses. Open Finance presents this data to the public in a highly interactive format using charts, graphs, and tables through the City’s website. Many cities, counties and other public agencies are using this product to enhance financial transparency.
b. Budget Publishing: Tyler’s PatternStream software automates the time-consuming process of publishing budget books by collecting data from the Financial system. The City currently uses third-party software (Budget Book Online) to accomplish this task.
City will be migrating over to PatternStream for Budget Publishing after the Financial system of the new ERP is implemented.
42 c. Staff Scheduling: Advanced Scheduling automates, streamlines, and simplifies staff scheduling for departments like Public Works, Recreation, and Police. The system makes sure that the appropriate staff are engaged in operational duties at the right time for the departments which operate in shift schedules. d. Interface between Accela and Cashiering module of new ERP: This interface will allow direct posting of fees collected through the Accela based Business License and Permitting modules to post the entries in the Cashiering module of new the ERP system.
The City’s Evaluation Team, PITs, and Project Management teams have gone through detailed demonstrations of the above products and recommend that the City procure products or services in these three areas. Tyler has submitted attractive pricing for these products as a part of the RFP response.
The financial impact of these Additional Products is $289,005.
The new ERP system will be implemented over a period of about 20 to 33 months in a phased manner, with overlapping phases, as detailed below:
Phase Description of activities Duration
I Implementation of NEOGOV modules
Implementation of Tyler Financial System 9-12 Months
II
Implementation of Tyler Human Resources and
Payroll System
Implementation of Tyler Utility Billing System
9-12 Months
III
Implementation of Transparency and Budget
Publishing Systems
Implementation of Advanced Scheduling System
6-9 Months
In addition to improving business processes and workflows, the new ERP System will significantly improve the efficiency and effectiveness of customer service. Additionally, the products and services being procured for the new ERP system will be cloud based. Cloud based software service offers several advantages to the City, which are listed below:
Alignment with the City’s long-term goal of transitioning IT applications and system from the City’s local network to the cloud which will severely reduce the risk of cyber incidences.
Eliminates IT staff resources from managing on-premises hardware and enables staff to support the City in other ways.
Responsibility placed on the respective vendor to update the software and push out the latest security patches as they become available.
Cloud ensures that all the applications and systems are running on redundant systems including software, hardware, and data storage, which reduces the City’s risk disasters or long-term power outages.

SECTION B –SAAS SERVICES
1. Rights Granted.
47 3
1.1 We grant to you the non-exclusive, non-assignable limited right to use the SaaS Services solely for your internal business purposes for the number of Defined Users only. The Tyler Software will be made available to you according to the terms of the SLA. You acknowledge that we have no physical delivery obligations and we will not ship copies of the Tyler Software as part of the SaaS Services. You may use the SaaS Services to access updates and enhancements to the Tyler Software, as further described in Section C(9). Furthermore, your consultants, contractors, and business partners may access the Tyler Software, Documentation and Deliverables under your direction to the extent required for them to provide services to you. Any such use by, or disclosure to, said third parties is strictly subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
To the extent that disclosure of the Tyler Software or Documentation is necessary to facilitate integration between any third party software and the Tyler Software, you will provide notice to Tyler of your intent to disclose the Tyler Software or Documentation and Tyler shall have a right to require any such third party to sign a nondisclosure agreement (“NDA”) with Tyler in the event an NDA is reasonably required for Tyler to protect its intellectual property rights in the Tyler Software and Documentation. You shall be liable for any failure of any third party to which you provide access to the Tyler Software or Documentation to abide by all applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement. The foregoing notwithstanding, to the extent we have sold you perpetual licenses for Tyler Software, if and listed in the Investment Summary, for which you are receiving SaaS Services, your rights to use such Tyler Software are perpetual, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement including, without limitation, Section B(4). We will make any such software available to you for download.
2. SaaS Fees. You agree to pay us the SaaS Fees for the SaaS Services. Those amounts are payable in accordance with our Invoicing and Payment Policy. The SaaS Fees are based on the number of Defined Users and amount of Data Storage Capacity. You may add additional users or additional data storage capacity on the terms set forth in Section H(1). In the event you regularly and/or meaningfully exceed the Defined Users or Data Storage Capacity, we reserve the right to charge you additional fees commensurate with the overage(s) provided Tyler provides written notice to Client in advance of charging such additional fees.
3. Ownership.
3.1 We retain all ownership and intellectual property rights to the SaaS Services, the Tyler Software, and anything developed by us under this Agreement. To the extent any Deliverable is created by Tyler under this Agreement, Tyler shall grant a perpetual license for you to use, copy, modify, and create derivative works from said Deliverable for your reasonable business purposes. Such reasonable business purposes shall not include distribution or sale outside of your organization or that of your consultants, contractors, and business partners pursuant to Section B(4.1). Your rights to use the Deliverable are perpetual through the term of this Agreement but may be revoked if you do not comply with the terms of this Agreement. You do not acquire under this Agreement any license to use the Tyler Software in excess of the scope and/or duration of the SaaS Services.
3.2 The Documentation is licensed to you and may be used and copied by your employees for internal, non-commercial reference purposes only.
3.3 You retain all ownership and intellectual property rights to the Data. You expressly recognize 48 4
that except to the extent necessary to carry out our obligations contained in this Agreement, we do not create or endorse any Data used in connection with the SaaS Services.
4. Restrictions. You may not: (a) make the Tyler Software or Documentation resulting from the SaaS Services available in any manner to any third party for use in the third party’s business operations; (b) modify, make derivative works of, disassemble, reverse compile, or reverse engineer any part of the SaaS Services; (c) access or use the SaaS Services in order to build or support, and/or assist a third party in building or supporting, products or services competitive to us; or (d) license, sell, rent, lease, transfer, assign, distribute, display, host, outsource, disclose, permit timesharing or service bureau use, or otherwise commercially exploit or make the SaaS Services, Tyler Software, or Documentation available to any third party other than as expressly permitted by this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly acknowledged that the Client is a governmental entity subject to the public records and open meetings laws of the State of California and nothing contained herein shall be construed as altering or prohibiting the Client from complying with such laws fully and in its sole and absolute discretion.
5. Software Warranty. We warrant that the Tyler Software will perform without Defects during the term of this Agreement. If the Tyler Software does not perform as warranted, we will use all reasonable efforts, consistent with industry standards, to cure the Defect in accordance with the maintenance and support process set forth in Section C(9), below, the SLA and our then current Support Call Process.
6. SaaS Services.
6.1 Our SaaS Services are audited at least yearly in accordance with the AICPA’s Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements (“SSAE”) No. 21. We have attained, and will maintain, SOC 1 and SOC 2 compliance, or its equivalent, for the duration of this Agreement. The scope of audit coverage varies for some Tyler Software solutions. Upon execution of a mutually agreeable Non-Disclosure Agreement (“NDA”), we will provide you with a summary of our compliance report(s) or its equivalent. Every year thereafter, for so long as the NDA is in effect and in which you make a written request, we will provide that same information. If our SaaS Services are provided using a 3rd party data center, we will provide available compliance reports for that data center.
6.2 You will be hosted on shared hardware in a Tyler data center or in a third-party data center. In either event, databases containing your Data will be dedicated to you and inaccessible to our other customers. Tyler will use reasonable efforts to provide advance notice of at least one (1) year if Tyler elects to change the provider of data centers used for the SaaS Services delivered to Client pursuant to this Agreement. Any data center hosting Client’s Data will be located in the United States.
6.3 Our Tyler data centers have fully-redundant telecommunications access, electrical power, and the required hardware to provide access to the Tyler Software in the event of a disaster or component failure. In the event of a data center failure, we reserve the right to employ our disaster recovery plan for resumption of the SaaS Services. In that event, we commit to a Recovery Point Objective (“RPO”) of 1 hour and a Recovery Time Objective (“RTO”) of 24 hours.
RPO represents the maximum duration of time between the most recent recoverable copy of your hosted Data and subsequent data center failure. RTO represents the maximum duration of 49 5
time following data center failure within which your access to the Tyler Software must be restored.
6.4 We conduct annual penetration testing of either the production network and/or web application to be performed. We will maintain industry standard intrusion detection and prevention systems to monitor malicious activity in the network and to log and block any such activity. We will provide you with a written or electronic record of the actions taken by us in the event that any unauthorized access to your database(s) is detected as a result of our security protocols. We will undertake an additional security audit, on terms and timing to be mutually agreed to by the parties, at your written request. You may not attempt to bypass or subvert security restrictions in the SaaS Services or environments related to the Tyler Software.
Unauthorized attempts to access files, passwords or other confidential information, and unauthorized vulnerability and penetration test scanning of our network and systems (hosted or otherwise) is prohibited without the prior written approval of our IT Security Officer.
6.5 We test our disaster recovery plan on an annual basis. Our standard test is not client-specific.
Should you request a client-specific disaster recovery test, we will work with you to schedule and execute such a test on a mutually agreeable schedule. At your written request, we will provide test results to you within a commercially reasonable timeframe after receipt of the request. Tyler will use commercially reasonable efforts to address any deficiencies in its disaster recovery services revealed in the Client-specific test.
6.6 We will be responsible for importing back-up and verifying that you can log-in. You will be responsible for running reports and testing critical processes to verify the returned Data.
6.7 We provide secure Data transmission paths between each of your workstations and our servers.
6.8 Tyler data centers are accessible only by authorized personnel with a unique key entry. All other visitors to Tyler data centers must be signed in and accompanied by authorized personnel.
Entry attempts to the data center are regularly audited by internal staff and external auditors to ensure no unauthorized access.
6.9 Where applicable with respect to our applications that take or process card payment data, we are responsible for the security of cardholder data that we possess, including functions relating to storing, processing, and transmitting of the cardholder data and affirm that, as of the Effective Date, we comply with applicable requirements to be considered PCI DSS compliant and have performed the necessary steps to validate compliance with the PCI DSS. We agree to supply the current status of our PCI DSS compliance program in the form of an official Attestation of Compliance, which can be found at https://www.tylertech.com/about- us/compliance, and in the event of any change in our status, will comply with applicable notice requirements.
7. License Rights Terminate Upon Migration. When Tyler makes Tyler Software identified in the Investment Summary (the “Evergreen Modules”) and licensed pursuant to this Agreement available to the Client for use in live production, the license to the Tyler software listed in Exhibit A, Schedule 1 (hereafter, “Migration Modules”) will be restricted to read-only access, and Tyler’s maintenance, support, and/or update obligations for such software terminates.
50 6
SECTION C –PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
1. Professional Services. We will provide you the various implementation-related services itemized in the Investment Summary and described in the Statement of Work.
2. Professional Services Fees. You agree to pay us the professional services fees in the amounts set forth in the Investment Summary. Those amounts are based on the scope of the project as of the Effective Date and are payable in accordance with our Invoicing and Payment Policy attached as Exhibit B. We will bill you the actual fees incurred based on the in-scope services provided to you, up to the maximum amounts set forth in the Investment Summary. This not to exceed commitment is contingent on your timely meeting of your obligations under this Agreement.
3. Additional Services. The Investment Summary contains, and the Statement of Work describes, the scope of services and related costs (including programming and/or interface estimates) required for the project based on our understanding of the specifications you supplied. If Client requests modified services or additional work is required, we will provide you with an addendum or change order, as applicable, outlining the changes to any payment terms for the modified or additional work. The price quotes in the addendum or change order will be valid for ninety (90) days from the date of the quote.
For avoidance of doubt, no services beyond those listed in the Investment Summary will be added to the Agreement without mutual written consent of the parties.
4. Cancellation. If you cancel services less than four (4) weeks in advance (other than for Force Majeure or breach by us), you will be liable for all (a) daily fees associated with cancelled professional services if we are unable to reassign our personnel and (b) any non-refundable or non- transferable travel expenses already incurred by us on your behalf. If your services are invoiced on a milestone basis, the applicable cancellation fee will be based on the rates used to price the services included in the milestones. Such additional travel costs shall be billed separately by Tyler and paid by the City through a change order. We will make all reasonable efforts to reassign personnel, including pursuing options for remote work, in the event you cancel within four (4) weeks of scheduled commitments.
5. Services Warranty. We warrant that we will (a) perform the services in a professional, workmanlike manner, consistent with industry standards; b) perform the services in a manner that complies with all applicable laws and regulations; c) staff the project with a sufficient number of resources with skills and resources to perform services in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement; and d) comply with applicable functional requirements in the Statement of Work or other plans or specifications approved by Tyler and the City in any approved Deliverables. In the event we provide services that do not conform to this warranty, we will re-perform such services at no additional cost to you.
6. Site Access and Requirements. At no cost to us, you agree to provide us with reasonable access to your personnel, facilities, and equipment as may be reasonably necessary for us to provide implementation services, subject to any reasonable security protocols or other written policies provided to us as of the Effective Date, and thereafter as mutually agreed to by you and us.
7. Background Checks. For at least the past twelve (12) years, all of our employees have undergone criminal background checks prior to hire. All employees sign our confidentiality agreement and security policies.
51 7
8. Client Assistance. You acknowledge that the implementation of the Tyler Software is a cooperative process requiring the time and resources of your personnel. You agree to use all reasonable efforts to cooperate with and assist us as may be reasonably required to meet the agreed upon project deadlines and other milestones for implementation. 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).
9. 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:
9.1 perform our maintenance and support obligations in a professional, good, and workmanlike manner, consistent with industry standards, to resolve Defects in the Tyler Software (subject to any applicable release life cycle policy);
9.2 provide support during our established support hours;
9.3 maintain personnel that are sufficiently trained to be familiar with the Tyler Software and Third Party Software, if any, in order to provide maintenance and support services;
9.4 make available to you all releases to the Tyler Software (including updates and enhancements) that we make generally available without additional charge to customers who have a maintenance and support agreement in effect; and
9.5 provide non-Defect resolution support of prior releases of the Tyler Software in accordance with any applicable release life cycle policy.
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.
If we cannot resolve a support issue remotely, we may be required to provide onsite services. In such event, we will be responsible for our travel expenses, unless it is determined that the reason onsite support was required was a reason outside our control. All travel expenses incurred pursuant to this Agreement will follow the Business Travel Policy. Either way, you agree to provide us with full and free access to the Tyler Software, working space, adequate facilities within a reasonable distance from the equipment, and use of machines, attachments, features, or other equipment reasonably necessary for us to provide the maintenance and support services, all at no charge to us.
We strongly recommend that you also maintain your VPN for backup connectivity purposes.
For the avoidance of doubt, SaaS Fees do not include the following services: (a) onsite support (unless Tyler cannot remotely correct a Defect in the Tyler Software, as set forth above); (b) application design; (c) other consulting services; or (d) support outside our normal business hours as 52 8
listed in our then-current Support Call Process. Requested services such as those outlined in this section will be billed to you on a time and materials basis at our then current rates. You must request those services with at least one (1) weeks’ advance notice. For avoidance of doubt, no services beyond those listed in the Investment Summary will be added to the Agreement without mutual written consent of the parties.
10. Support of Migration Modules. Beginning on the commencement of the initial term as set forth in Section F (1) of this Agreement, and contingent upon Client’s timely payment of annual SaaS Fees for Tyler Evergreen Modules, Client is entitled to continue to receive, at no additional charge, maintenance and support for the Migration Modules until Tyler makes the Tyler Evergreen Modules available for use in live production.
11. Assignment and Removal of Personnel. After the Effective Date, and in coordination with the project kick-off activities identified in the Statement of Work, we will make our project staffing assignments. Upon request, we will provide you with project resumes, demonstrating relevant past project experience, for project team members that are allocated for onsite services on the project.
You agree that those resumes are for your information and planning purposes only.
Once our project team is assembled and your counterparts have been identified, both parties agree that, except for reasons outside of their control, they will not remove staff and personnel from their assigned project roles without reasonable advance notice and good cause, and that they will work together to mitigate project impacts after any such removal. The parties will also work together to manage the project impact resulting from the temporary unavailability of project staff from either party. We agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain consistency of project personnel and commit to replacement resources having sufficient project knowledge, without additional cost to you, in order to render services in accordance with contractual requirements.
In the event our personnel is/are not providing services consistent with our services warranty or are otherwise negatively impacting the project, you will notify us of that deficiency and give us a reasonable opportunity to correct it. If the deficiency persists, we will replace that project member, upon written request and demonstration of good cause. Replacement staff will be assigned following the same processes set forth above and shall have reasonably sufficient experience and project knowledge to fulfill applicable obligations under the Agreement. The foregoing notwithstanding, if the replacement personnel is providing services onsite, you shall remain liable for travel expenses incurred by such personnel, to be invoiced in accordance with the Business Travel Policy.
12. Tyler Software Acceptance. The Client will use the following acceptance process for each Phase, as defined in the SOW: Client will have a maximum of a thirty (30) calendar day “Test Period” to test the System in a live production environment to test for, and to report, documented Defects and to ensure that all Services have been completed. If there are no Defects reported during the Test Period and Services have been completed, the Client shall issue “Acceptance.” Upon Acceptance of the last Phase of the project, Client shall also grant “Project Closure.” If Client reports a documented Defect during the Test Period, Client will notify Tyler in writing. 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 53 9
the Client and Tyler, reasonably cooperating, have developed a mutually agreeable schedule for Defect resolution, at which point the Client shall issue Project Closure.

2. Invoice Disputes. If you believe any delivered software or service does not conform to the warranties in this Agreement, you will provide us with written notice within thirty (30) days of your receipt of the applicable invoice. The written notice must contain reasonable detail of the issues you contend are in dispute so that we can confirm the issue and respond to your notice with either a justification of the invoice, an adjustment to the invoice, or a proposal addressing the issues presented in your notice. We will work with you as may be necessary to develop an action plan that outlines reasonable steps to be taken by each of us to resolve any issues presented in your notice.
You may withhold payment of the invoice amount(s) actually in dispute, and only those amounts, until we complete the action items outlined in the plan. If we are unable to complete the action items outlined in the action plan because of your failure, after a written notice and cure period, to complete the items agreed to be done by you, then you will remit full payment of the invoice. While an invoice is in dispute in accordance with this Section, the parties agree to continue with the implementation of the remainder of the tasks contemplated in this Agreement and the Statement of Work while the parties resolve the dispute on that particular invoice(s), unless the nature of the 54 10
dispute dictates otherwise. Payment of an invoice(s) does not waive or eliminate the Client’s ability to contest the invoice or payment as set forth in this Agreement, or alter the parties’ rights and obligations relating to requirements and warranties set forth in this Agreement. We reserve the right to suspend delivery of all SaaS Services, including maintenance and support services, if you fail to pay an invoice not disputed as described above within fifteen (15) days of notice of our intent to do so.

SECTION H – GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1. Additional Products and Services. You may purchase additional products and services at the rates set forth in the Investment Summary for twelve (12) months from the Effective Date by executing a mutually agreed addendum. If no rate is provided in the Investment Summary, or those twelve (12) months have expired, you may purchase additional products and services at our then-current list price, also by executing a mutually agreed addendum. The terms of this Agreement will control any such additional purchase(s), unless otherwise specifically provided in the addendum.
2. Optional Items. Pricing for any listed optional products and services in the Investment Summary will be valid for twelve (12) months from the Effective Date.

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.
89 Exhibit B
Schedule 1
2 2. Ground Transportation
A. Private Automobile
Mileage Allowance – Business use of an employee’s private automobile will be reimbursed at the current IRS allowable rate, plus out of pocket costs for tolls and parking. Mileage will be calculated by using the employee's office as the starting and ending point, in compliance with IRS regulations.
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. The actual fare plus a reasonable tip (15-18%) are reimbursable. In the case of a free hotel shuttle to the airport, tips are included in the per diem rates and will not be reimbursed separately.
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.
90 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. 91 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.

1 Exhibit C
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
93 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.

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
Independence Day Christmas Day
For support teams that provide after-hours service, we will provide you with procedures for contacting support staff after normal business hours for reporting Priority Level 1 Defects only. Upon receipt of 95 Exhibit C
Schedule 1
2 such a Defect notification, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to meet the resolution targets set forth below.
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.
Priority
Level Characteristics of Support Incident Resolution Targets* 1 Critical

Part 1: Executive Summary
Project Overview
Introduction
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.
Project 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 Client (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
Implement functional requirements as responded by Tyler Methodology
This is accomplished by Pittsburg 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 Client’s complexity and organizational needs.
Exhibit E
105
City of Pittsburg, 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 Client and Tyler commit to including the necessary leadership and governance. During each stage of the Project, it is expected that the Pittsburg 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 Client’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
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 Pittsburg 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 Pittsburg Steering Committee become the escalation points to triage responses prior to escalation to the Pittsburg 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 Pittsburg and Tyler executive sponsors serve as the final escalation point.

Project Scope Control
Managing 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.
Exhibit E
114
City of Pittsburg, CA
Tyler Technologies, Inc. Page | 11
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.
Change Control
If it is necessary to change the scope of this Project, Tyler and Pittsburg will follow the change control process specified in the Agreement.
Change 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 Pittsburg; for example, Pittsburg may decide it no 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 Pittsburg, if any. The timetable for implementing the change.
The effect on and/or risk to the schedule, resource needs or resource responsibilities.
Pittsburg 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 Pittsburg). 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.

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 Pittsburg office or department designates specific individuals for making decisions on behalf of their offices or departments.
Both Tyler and Pittsburg 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 Pittsburg feedback and approval on Project deliverables will be critical to the success of the Project. The Pittsburg project manager will strive to gain deliverable and decision approvals from all authorized Pittsburg 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 Pittsburg 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:
Pittsburg shall have five (5) 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 Pittsburg does not provide acceptance or acknowledgement within five (5) business days, or the otherwise agreed upon timeframe, not to be unreasonably withheld, Tyler deems the Deliverable or Control Point as accepted.
If Pittsburg does not agree the Deliverable or Control Point meets requirements, Pittsburg shall notify Tyler project manager(s), in writing, with reasoning within five (5) business days, or the otherwise agreed-upon timeframe, not to be unreasonably withheld, of receipt of the Deliverable. Tyler shall address any deficiencies and issues on Issues Log and redeliver the Deliverable or Control Point. Pittsburg shall then have three (3) business days from receipt of the redelivered Deliverable or Control Point to accept or again submit written notification of reasons for rejecting the milestone. If Pittsburg does not provide acceptance within three (3) business days, or the otherwise agreed upon timeframe, not to be unreasonably withheld, Tyler deems the Deliverable or Control Point as accepted.

Current & 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.
Pittsburg 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.
Pittsburg will adopt the existing Tyler solution wherever possible to avoid project schedule and quality risk from over customization of Tyler products. It is Pittsburg’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.

General Assumptions
Tyler and Pittsburg 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 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.
Project
Project activities will begin after the Agreement has been fully executed. Pittsburg 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. All tasks, deadlines, and prerequisite activities will be listed on 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 Pittsburg 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, Pittsburg 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 Pittsburg to make process changes. With the exception of what is defined in this SOW, Pittsburg is responsible for defining, documenting, and implementing their policies that result from any business process changes.
Organizational Change Management
Unless otherwise contracted by Tyler, Pittsburg is responsible for managing Organizational Change. Impacted Pittsburg 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 Pittsburg resources understand the value of the change, and why they are being asked to change.
Resources and Scheduling
Pittsburg resources will participate in scheduled activities as assigned in the Project Schedule. The Pittsburg team will complete prerequisites prior to applicable scheduled activities. Failure to do so may affect the schedule.
Tyler and Pittsburg will provide resources to support the efforts to complete the Project as scheduled and within the constraints of the Project budget.
Exhibit E
147
City of Pittsburg, CA
Tyler Technologies, Inc. Page | 44
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. Pittsburg 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.
Pittsburg 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. Pittsburg will respond to information requests in a comprehensive and timely manner, in accordance with the Project Schedule.
Pittsburg 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.
The City and Tyler shall work together throughout the project to maintain a project roster identifying all resources filling the roles defined below. In the event personnel changes are required, each party shall notify the other promptly and update the project roster.
Data
Data will be converted as provided and Tyler will not create data that does not exist. Pittsburg is responsible for the quality of legacy data and for cleaning or scrubbing erroneous legacy data.
Tyler will work closely with the Pittsburg representatives to identify business rules before writing the conversion. Pittsburg 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.
Pittsburg 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 Pittsburg Project Team is responsible for reviewing the converted data and reporting issues during each iteration, with assistance from Tyler.
Pittsburg is responsible for providing or entering test data (e.g., data for training, testing interfaces, etc.)
Facilities
Pittsburg will provide dedicated space for Tyler staff to work with Pittsburg resources for both on-site and remote sessions. If Phases overlap, Pittsburg will provide multiple training facilities to allow for independent sessions scheduling without conflict.
Pittsburg will provide staff with a location to practice what they have learned without distraction.
Exhibit E

Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM)
Tyler will work with Pittsburg in a dual effort to track and report to Pittsburg which Functional Requirements have been satisfied during each phase of the project for each of the software modules and services contracted.
The RTM will be created based on the list of the Functional and Technical Requirements that were included in the Tyler proposal response.
Tyler will create the RTM along with collaborative input from Pittsburg. As part of the “go-live” acceptance process for each phase, Pittsburg and Tyler shall agree that each requirement in the RTM for that phase has been satisfied per Tyler’s responses (from proposal response where Tyler answered affirmatively that the feature/functionality exists in the installed release).

Enterprise ERP Standard 3rd Party Data Exchange & Application Programming Interfaces
Planning
An Integration is a real-time or automated exchange of data between two systems. Standard Data Exchange tools are available to fulfill Integrations with external systems by allowing Clients to get data in and out of the Tyler system. Data exchange tools can take the form of Imports and Exports, and Application Programming Interfaces (APIs)*. APIs may require additional licensing and may have some restrictions on use. Please refer to your licensing agreement for further information.
Imports and Exports
The Pittsburg and Tyler project manager(s) will work together to define/confirm which Imports and Exports are needed (if not outlined in the Agreement). Tyler will provide an Excel or ASCII file layouts for each Standard Data Exchange.
APIs*
Additional API licensing and data sharing agreements are required for integration with third-party applications. If APIs have been purchased, Tyler may provide integration assistance to understand API services and provide necessary support to complete the integration of Tyler software to the Pittsburg internal applications. Tyler will not provide any hands-on development unless expressly specified in the Agreement. It is Tyler’s responsibility to ensure the API services operate correctly. It is Pittsburg’s responsibility to fulfill integrations using Tyler’s API services and ensure operation of the third party API services.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Customer will defend and indemnify NEOGOV from and against any claim, demand, suit or proceeding made or brought against NEOGOV (i ) by a third party alleging that any Customer Data infringes or misappropriates such third party's intellectual property rights, (ii ) in connection with Customer’s violation of any applicable laws, or (iii ) any claim or allegation by any third party resulting from or related to Customer’s or any of its Authorized User’s breach of Section 3 of this Agreement.
b)
NEOGOV General Indemnity. NEOGOV agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Customer, its agents, officials, and employees from all third party claims and suits including court costs, attorney’s fees and other expenses caused by (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of NEOGOV, and (ii) any act or omission by NEOGOV in connection with this Agreement which results in death, bodily injury or damage to tangible personal property.
c) NEOGOV Intellectual Property Indemnity. Subject to subsections 14(b)(i) through 14(b)(iii) and 14(c) of this Section, if a third party makes a claim against Customer that any NEOGOV intellectual property furnished by NEOGOV and used by Customer infringes a third party’s intellectual property rights, NEOGOV will defend the Customer against the claim and indemnify the Customer from the damages and liabilities awarded by the court to the third-party claiming infringement or the settlement agreed to by NEOGOV.
i) Alternative Resolution. If NEOGOV believes or it is determined that any of the Services may have violated a third party’s intellectual property rights, NEOGOV may choose to either modify the Services to be non-infringing or obtain a license to allow for continued use. If these alternatives are not commercially reasonable, NEOGOV may end the subscription or license for the Services and refund a pro-rata portion of any fees covering the whole months that would have remained, absent such early termination, following the effective date of such early termination.
ii) No Duty to Indemnify. NEOGOV will not indemnify Customer if Customer alters the Service or Service Specifications, or uses it outside the scope of use or if Customer uses a version of the Service or Service Specifications which has been superseded, if the infringement claim could have been avoided by using an unaltered current version of the Services or Service Specifications which was provided to Customer, or if the Customer continues to use the infringing material after the subscription expires. NEOGOV will not indemnify the Customer to the extent that an infringement claim is based upon any information, design, specification, instruction, software, data, or material not furnished by NEOGOV. NEOGOV will not indemnify Customer for any portion of an infringement claim that is based upon the combination of Service or Service Specifications with any products or services not provided by NEOGOV. NEOGOV will not indemnify Customer for infringement caused by Customer’s actions against any third party if the Services as delivered to Customer and used in accordance with the terms of the Agreement would not otherwise infringe any third-party intellectual property rights.
iii) Exclusive Remedy. This Section provides the exclusive remedy for any intellectual property infringement claims or damages against NEOGOV.
d) Indemnification Procedures. In order to receive the indemnities described hereunder, the indemnified party must: (i) promptly notify the indemnifying party, in writing, of any claim; (ii) cooperate reasonably with indemnifying party, at the indemnifying party’s expense, in the defe nse and/or settlement thereof; and (iii) allow the indemnifying party to control the defense and/or settlement thereof except that the indemnifying party may not, without the indemnified party’s prior written consent, enter into any settlement that does not unconditionally release the indemnified party from liability.
The indemnified party shall have the right to participate in any defense of a claim and/or to be represented by counsel of its own choosing at its own expense, provided that ultimate control of such defense shall remain solely with the indemnifying party.

Updates may adversely affect how Customer Applications communicate with the Services.

NEOGOV shall use reasonable efforts to provide Customer notice and reasonable time to cure prior to taking such actions.

I mplementa tio n Ov er v i ew
To achieve a high level of project success, and to ensure both an effective and timely i mpl ementati on f or our agenci es, N E OG OV uti l i zes a dedi cated pr of essi onal ser v i ces team and a tested and proven implementation approach. This approach has been continual l y r ef i ned and i s desi gned to pr ov i de the most ef f i ci ent and ef f ecti v e implementation while producing maximum user adoption and ongoing project success.
A s part of the implementation process, NE OGOV incorporates a staged implementation appr oach whi ch i s desi gned to ef f ecti v el y manage and str eaml i ne the pr ocess. T hi s staged implementation approach i s in the styl e of train -the -tra ine r. For a ll imple me nta tions, NEOGOV is proud to offer an implementation expert to facilitate the process.
198
Agency Staffing Requirements
During implementation, customers are responsible f or organizing a team consisting of at least one project manager and one administrator who will work with agency staf f and NEOGOV during the project. The project manager should be f ami liar with project plans and understand the tasks associ ated wi th managi ng a team, worki ng wi th a ti mel i ne, and interacting with an external vendor.
For an organization of 350 FTE, NEOGOV recommends 2 -4 primary system administrators, with 1-2 back-ups in the event of vacation, leave, etc. The system administrators are typically HR staff. The system administrators should attend all status check-ins with the NEOGOV implementation consultant. You may include IT in these meetings, but this is optional.
The system administrator should be familiar with using a computer and Internet Explorer or Google Chrome. Within the team there should be an understanding of the existing relevant processes and content as the team will be responsible for reviewing and revising, where necessary, the existing processes to incorporate the additional NEOGOV functionality.
Before You Begin
Prior to the scheduled project kick-off meeting, the NEOGOV Project Manager (PM)will deliver a series of documents to the client Project Manager which include login credentials to GuideCX (a client -facing project management tool), and the system specific Pre-implementation Questionnaires. GuideCX provides a checklist of each of the tasks per phase, responsibilities, due dates, and overall timelines associated with each of the deliverables.
NEOGOV recommends a weekly status check in to review the progress between both the IC and customer Project Manager and to review accomplished activities, completed deliverables, upcoming deliverables, and functionality questions.
At the kick-off meeting, NEOGOV will review the project implementation timeline with the customer and both parties will agree upon a Target Sign -Off date. This meeting is used to clearly define the roles, responsibilities, deliverables, and tasks, in addition to presenting a high-level overview of the Onboard system as laid out in this proposal. 199
Contingency timeframes are always incorporated into the project plan to allow for some proje ct time line fluctua tion. Ea ch of the ma jor d e live ra b le s in the time line incorpora te roughly a 10% contingency estimate added to each activity. Based on the overall timeline requirements and NEOGOV’s extensive history working with public sector and education agencies delivering this type of solution, we are confident that the timeline (including safe contingency planning estimates) will be successfully completed on ti me and within budget.

On-going Support Structure:
NEOGOV has a team of experienced professionals ready to help you learn our products and answer your questions by phone, email, or logging a case. Our live Customer Support Team is available from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM (Pacific), Monday through Friday (excluding NEOGOV holidays). During these phone support hours, you have an unlimited number of calls available. If you call outside of these hours, or if all our representatives are busy, simply leave a message and your ca ll will be returned once a team member is available.
There is no charge for calling into the Customer Support Team for help. Additional fees may apply if you choose to purchase additional onsite or online training in the future, or decide to attend the annual User Conference.
Escalation Procedures and Communication Plan:
When an issue is found to be a bug, a NEOGOV Customer Support representative will gather additional information from the user regarding the expected result and the steps to replicate the unexpected behavior. After a case has been escalated, the NEOGOV Customer Support representative will work with the customer to find a workaround for the issue so that the customer is not blocked in their processes while waiting for the issue to be resolved. If no workaround can be found, the resolution priority of the issu e will be impacted. Factors that affect a bug’s priority include how much of an effect the issue has on the customer’s workflow and how many customers are affected. In general, fixes for bugs are released along with the rest of the code changes in an enhan cement release. When the issue is resolved, a NEOGOV Customer Support representative will notify the customer of the resolution and close the support ticket. If the customer reaches out to Customer Support for an update, we can provide a status update if there is one, but exact release dates are not known until a week or so before resolution.

SUBJECT: Adoption of a City Council Resolution Accepting Plans and Specifications and Authorize Award of Project 2038 – Citywide Roadway Improvements
MEETING DATE: August 19, 2024
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Project 2038 - Citywide Roadway Improvements (the “Project”) installs and upgrades traffic advisory signs with new fluorescent sheeting, moves existing signs to locations compliant with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), and replaces damaged poles.
Project improvements also include modifications to edge-line and centerline striping along arterial roads throughout the City. If adopted, this resolution will accept the Project plans and specifications and award a construction contract to Pavement Coatings Co.
FISCAL IMPACT
The bid proposal from Pavement Coatings Co. is $1,837,109 for the Project. This total reflects the base bid in the amount of $1,760,577 plus Alternate “A” in the amount of $76,532. Funding for construction will be provided by the existing Project budget. No other funds will be required.
A Budget Summary is attached to this report.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council accept the plans and specifications and authorize the City Manager to execute a construction contract for the Project with Pavement Coatings Co., for a total amount not to exceed $1,837,109.
Staff recommends that the City Council allocate a construction contingency in the amount of $183,711 for any unanticipated costs and contract change orders. 229
Staff further recommends that the City Engineer be authorized to approve contract change orders in an amount not to exceed 50% of the construction contingency, and the City Manager be authorized to approve change orders in an amount not to exceed the approved project budget.
BACKGROUND

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
For Project 2022-Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP), staff recommends the adoption of the LRSP to promote safety improvements within the City. The plan is the result of the evaluation of existing intersections and roadway segments. If adopted, this resolution will incorporate the improvements within the LRSP to future projects throughout the City.
FISCAL IMPACT
None from this action. Adoption of this plan will support the City’s future application for State and federal grants. As grant funds are secured, projects identified in the LRSP will be added to the City’s 5-Year Capital Improvement Plan.
RECOMMENDATION
City Council adopt the attached Resolution adopting the Local Road Safety Plan.
BACKGROUND
On October 19, 2019, the City applied for the Local Road Safety Program grant in the amount of $80,000 for the development of a LRSP within the City.
On February 11, 2020, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) awarded the Local Road Safety Program grant in the amount of $72,000 to the City and requires matching funds in the amount of $8,000.
On May 4, 2020, City Council adopted Resolution No. 20-13775 authorizing the acceptance of the Local Road Safety Program grant in the amount of $72,000 and the reallocation of $8,000 from Project 2220 for the development of the LSRP, establishing a project budget of $80,000.
234
SUBCOMMITTEE FINDINGS
This item was not presented to a subcommittee.
STAFF ANALYSIS
The LRSP is a comprehensive study to evaluate the existing roadway segments and intersections with a history of serious vehicular crashes. From the analysis, the plan identifies potential corrections to improve safety. Improvements include, but are not limited to, modifications to traffic signals, pedestrian countdown signals, installing roadway lighting, directional signs, raised pavement markers, and traffic hardware.

1 LOCAL ROAD SAFETY PLAN CITY OF PITTSBURG
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Pittsburg’s Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP) is a comprehensive plan that creates a framework to systematically identify and address safety issues prevalent to the City of Pittsburg’s jurisdiction. The analysis of crash history through the City’s transportation network allows for opportunities to improve safety and develop safety measures aligning with the 4 E’s of safety.
The LRSP takes a proactive approach to learn and reduce traffic accident fatalities and severe injury (F+SI) on public roads. It will be a living document, one that is routinely reviewed and updated every 5 years by City staff and their safety partners to reflect evolving collision trends and community needs and priorities. With the LRSP as a guide, the City will be able to apply for grant funds, such as the Federal Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP). The process and analysis performed in development of the City’s LRSP, including an analysis of collisions that occurred in Pittsburg, high-injury locations, and recommended countermeasures at each of these high-risk locations, are summarized in this LRSP.
GOALS OF THE LRSP
The goals are summarized as follows:
• Systematically identify and analyze active transportation conflict areas and recommend improvements.
• Improve the safety of all road users by using proven effective countermeasures. • Coordinate with key stakeholders to implement roadway safety improvements and response within Pittsburg.
• Continually leverage existing resources to secure additional funding for safety improvements. Seek consistent funding until the vision is fulfilled. 243
2 LOCAL ROAD SAFETY PLAN CITY OF PITTSBURG
• Assist in prioritizing investments in traffic safety for all Pittsburg residents.
PROCESS
The guidelines on the LRSP process is provided at both FHWA (Federal Highway Administration) and Caltrans (California Department of Transportation) level. The systemic approach in preparing the LRSP involves the following steps:
• Develop plan goals and objectives
• Analyze collision data
• Meet with stakeholders/safety partners
• Determine focus areas and identify crash reduction strategies • Prioritize countermeasures/projects
• Prepare the LRSP
COLLISION DATA
Collision data for a five year period spanning from January 1, 2015 through December 30, 2019 was collected from the University of California at Berkeley SafeTREC’s Transportation Injury Mapping Service (TIMS) and the California Highway Patrol’s Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS). For the purpose of this report the data was analyzed to identify top collision trends such as location type (Intersection vs Roadway Segment), injury severity, collision type, traffic violations, mode of transportation, lighting and weather conditions etc.
COLLISION TREND
Below is the summarization of key findings on collision patterns and trends. The detailed information is provided in the Chapter 4.
• A total of 765 injury collisions occurred between 2015 and 2019. • There were 27 fatalities, 63 collisions resulted in severe injuries, 171 resulted in a visible injury, and 504 resulted in a complaint of pain injury. • The year 2015 had highest number of collisions with 217 injury collisions, and 2019 had the lowest number of injury collisions with 110 collisions. • The highest number of injury collisions occurred within 250 feet of an intersection (77%).
• Broadside and rear-end collisions, accounted for 30% and 24% of total injury collisions, respectively. 39% of F+SI collisions involved pedestrians. • Unsafe Speed accounted for 25% of all injury collisions, followed by automobile right of way violations (14%).
• Most of the F+SI collisions occurred between 5:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. • 58% of all injury collisions were motor vehicle involved with other motor vehicles 244
3 LOCAL ROAD SAFETY PLAN CITY OF PITTSBURG
followed by motor vehicle involved with a fixed objects or other objects (15%). • There were approximately a total of 99 injury collisions involves pedestrian and 34 involves bicycle during the study period.
• Top four collision trends for Pittsburg are nighttime collisions, pedestrian collisions, unsafe speed collisions, and hit object collisions.
HIGH RISK LOCATIONS
The collision analysis was performed on all city streets. The corridors were ranked to show the top 11 high-collision intersections and top 10 high-collision roadway segments.
Key findings of identifying high-risk intersections are as follows:
• There were a total of 69 injury collisions that occurred at intersections • There were 22 collisions that led to F+SI collisions
• The intersection of Bailey Road and Leland Road had the highest number of injury collisions overall (13 injury collisions)
Key findings of identifying high-risk roadway segment are as follows:
• There were a total of 208 injury collisions that occurred on roadway segments • There were 42 collisions that led to F+SI collisions
• Leland Road from Railroad Avenue to Century Boulevard had the highest number of injury collisions with 51
EMPHASIS AREAS
Emphasis areas are focus areas for the LRSP that are identified through the comprehensive collision analysis of the identified high injury locations within the City of Pittsburg. The six emphasis area identified for the City of Pittsburg are:
• Improve intersection safety (collisions within 250 feet of an intersection) • Improve pedestrian and bicycle safety
• Address rear-end collisions and unsafe speed violations • Address broadside collisions
• Address nighttime collisions
• Address hit object collisions
245

VIABLE SAFETY PROJECTS
A set of six safety projects were created for the high-risk intersections and roadway segments. The countermeasures were based off of approved countermeasures from the Caltrans Local Roadway Safety Manual (LRSM) used in HSIP grant calls for projects. These safety projects are:
• Project 1 : Signalized intersections: Improve signal hardware: lenses, back-plates with retroreflective borders, mounting, size, and number, improve signal timing (coordination, phases, red, yellow, or operation), install raised pavement markers and stripping through intersection
• Project 2: Signalized Intersections: Install pedestrian countdown signal heads, Install advance stop bar before crosswalk, Modify signal phasing to implement a Leading Pedestrian Interval (LPI)
• Project 3: Unsignalized Intersections: Add intersection lighting, Install/upgrade larger or additional stop signs or other intersection warning/regulatory signs • Project 4 : Roadway Segments: Install/upgrade pedestrian crossing (with enhanced safety features), Install Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) • Project 5 : Roadway Segments: Improve pavement friction (High Friction Surface Treatments), Install dynamic/variable speed warning signs • Project 6: Citywide Segment Lighting: Add segment lighting 246
5 LOCAL ROAD SAFETY PLAN CITY OF PITTSBURG
IMPLEMENTATION AND EVALUATION
The LRSP is a guidance document that is recommended to be updated every two to five years in coordination with the safety partners. The LRSP document provides the 4 E’s of safety: Engineering, Education, Enforcement, and Emergency Medical Service-related (EMS) countermeasures that can be implemented throughout the City to reduce F+SI collisions. It is recommended that the City of Pittsburg implement the selected projects in high-collision locations in coordination with other projects proposed for the City’s infrastructure development in their future Capital Improvement Plans. After implementing countermeasures, the performance measures for each emphasis area should be evaluated annually. The most important measure of success of the LRSP should be reducing F+SI collisions throughout the City. If the number of F+SI collisions does not decrease over time, then the emphasis areas and countermeasures should be re-evaluated. 247

Collision data helps understand different factors that might be influencing collision patterns and various factors leading to collisions in a given area. For the purpose of this analysis, a five-year jurisdiction-wide collision data, from 2015 to 2019 was retrieved from TIMS and SWITRS. Collisions that occurred on state routes were excluded for this analysis.
The collision data was analyzed and plotted in ArcMap to identify high-risk intersections and roadways segments.
Collision Data Analysis Results
COLLISION CLASSIFICATION
There were a total of 765 collisions reported citywide from 2015 to 2019. Out of these 504 collisions (66%) led to complaint of pain injury and 171 collisions (22%) led to a visible injury. There were 90 F+SI collisions, 63 collisions (8%) led to a severe injury and 27 collisions (4%) led to a fatality. Figure 7 illustrates the classification of all collisions based on severity.
Figure 7. Collisions by Severity (2015-2019)
The analysis first includes a comparative evaluation between all collisions and F+SI collisions, including but not limited to: collision trend, primary collision factor, collision type, facility type, motor vehicle involved with, weather, lighting, and time of the day. Further on, a comprehensive analysis is conducted for only F+SI collisions. F+SI collisions cause the most damage to those affected, infrastructure and the aftermath of these collisions lead to great expenses for jurisdiction administration. The LRSP process thus focuses on these collision locations to proactively identify and counter their respective safety issues.
The collision data was segregated by facility type, i.e. based on collisions occurring on intersections and roadway segments. For the purposes of the analysis, a collision was designated to have occurred at an intersection if it occurred within 250 feet of it.
The reported collisions categorized by facility type and collision severity are presented in Table 2.

ROADWAY SEGMENT VS. INTERSECTION
When evaluating the roadway geometry, it was observed that the majority of collisions occurred at intersections. In the City of Pittsburg, 77% of all collisions (588 collisions) occurred at intersections whereas 23% (177 collisions) occurred on roadway segments.
This classification by facility type can be observed in Figure 9.

COLLISION TYPE
Considering all collisions, the most commonly occurring collision type was broadside collisions (30%) and rear end collisions (24%). The collision type for F+SI collisions are noticeably different. For F+SI collisions, the most commonly occurring collision type was vehicle/pedestrian collisions (39%) and hit object collisions (19%). Figure 10 illustrates the collision type for all injury collisions as well as F+SI collisions.

PRIMARY COLLISION FACTOR
Primary collision factor refers to the violation which in the officer’s opinion best describes the primary cause of the collision. Considering all injury collisions, the most common violation category was observed to be unsafe speed (25%), automobile right of way (14%) and improper turning collisions (12%). For F+SI collisions unsafe speed (29%) and pedestrian violations (17%) was observed to be the violation categories. Figure 11 illustrates the violation category for all collisions and F+SI collisions.
Figure 11. Violation Categories: All Injury Collisions and F+SI Collisions
MOTOR-VEHICLE INVOLVED WITH
This category refers to the involvement of motor vehicle with other mode of transportation or object at the time of collision. Considering all injury collisions, 58% of the collisions occurred between two motor vehicles. The remaining collisions include motor vehicle involved with fixed object (15%) and pedestrians (12%). For F+SI collisions, 39% of the collisions involved a pedestrian, 31% involved another motor vehicle, and 23% involved a fixed object/other object. Figure 12 illustrates the percentage for all collisions as well as F+SI collisions.

LIGHTING
This category shows what the lighting conditions were at the time of the collision to examine if lighting may have been a contributing factor. For injury collisions of all severity, 64% of collisions have occurred in daylight and 29% of collisions have occurred in the dark on streets with street lights. For F+SI collisions, 56% of collisions having occurred in the dark with street lights and 33% of collisions occurred in the daylight. The over occurrence of F+SI collisions at night suggests lighting may be a factor in theses collisions. Figure 13 illustrates the lighting condition for all collisions and F+SI collisions.

WEATHER
For all collisions, 85% of the collisions have occurred during clear weather conditions.
For F+SI collisions similar trends have been observed, with 80% of the collisions having occurred during clear weather conditions. Figure 14 illustrates the percentage distribution of weather conditions during occurrence of collisions of all severity as well as F+SI collisions.

Geographic Collision Analysis
This section describes a detailed geographic collision analysis performed for injury collisions occurring at roadway segments and intersections in the City of Pittsburg. The above collision analysis was used to identify four main collision factors that highlight the top trends among collisions in Pittsburg. These four collision factors were identified to be nighttime collisions, pedestrian collisions, unsafe speed collisions, and hit object collisions.
NIGHTTIME COLLISIONS
For F+SI collisions in the City of Pittsburg, 61% of collisions occurred during at night.

Collision Severity Weight
A collision severity weight was used to identify the high severity collision network, using the Equivalent EPDO method. The EPDO method accounts for both the severity and frequency of collisions by converting each collision to an equivalent number of PDO collisions. The EPDO method assigns a crash cost and score to each collision according to the severity of the crash weighted by the comprehensive crash cost. These EPDO scores are calculated using a simplified version of the comprehensive crash costs per HSIP Cycle 11 application.
The weights used in the analysis are shown below in Table 3.
Table 3. EPDO Score used in HSIP Cycle 11
Collision Severity EPDO Score
F+SI Combined 165*
Visible Injury 11
Possible Injury 6
PDO 1
*This is the score used in HSIP Cycle 11 for collisions on roadways segments, to simplify the analysis this study uses the same score for all F+SI collisions regardless of location.
The EPDO scores for all collisions can then be aggregated in a variety of ways to identify collision patterns, such as location hot-spots. Because of the high score given to F+SI crashes, locations that have these type of crashes are more likely to receive a higher EPDO score than other locations that may have more collisions, but fewer fatal or severe injury collisions. The weighted collisions for the City of Pittsburg were geolocated onto Pittsburg’s road network. Figure 27 shows the location and geographic concentration of collisions by their EPDO score.

High Injury Network
Following the detailed collision analysis, the next step was to identify the high-risk roadway segments and intersections in the City of Pittsburg. The methodology for scoring the high injury locations is the same method as used in the severity weight section. Figure 28 shows the top 10 high-collision roadway segments and top 11 high-collision intersections.
For the purposes of the high collision network analysis, intersections include collisions that occurred within 250 feet of it and roadways include all collisions that occurred along the roadway except for collisions that occurred directly at an intersection, or collisions that are assigned a zero value in distance from intersection value column in the SWITRS.
Note: EPDO Score was calculated as follows:
EPDO Score = (165 x # of Fatal Collision) + (165 x # of Severe Injury Collisions) + (11 x # of visible injury collisions) + (6 x # complaint of pain collisions) 288

Summary
Between 2015 and 2019, a total of 765 collisions occurred within the City of Pittsburg.
Among all injury collisions, the most prominent collisions types were rear end and broadside, while unsafe speed and automobile right of way violations were the most common violation types.
For F+SI collisions in the City of Pittsburg, 61% of collisions were nighttime collisions.
The maximum number of nighttime collisions have been observed along the corridors of California Avenue, Leland Road, and Loveridge Road. This may indicate that lighting at these locations should be evaluated to insure lumen levels are adequate. Many different factors can contribute to nighttime collisions, such as low lighting levels that can be targeted with countermeasures, but extraneous factors can also contribute to nighttime injury such as alcohol use, sleep, and fatigue.
291
50 LOCAL ROAD SAFETY PLAN CITY OF PITTSBURG
This may suggest that evaluating lighting levels at these locations are needed. Improvements such as installing new lighting, upgrading existing lighting to a higher lumen, installing larger signal heads, installing and upgrade signs with new fluorescent sheeting, and installing pedestrian improvements with lighting elements such as Rectangular Rapid Flashing beacons (RRFB) and HAWKs can help make these locations safer for all road users.
For F+SI collisions in the City of Pittsburg, 39% of collisions were pedestrian collisions.
Leland Road, Loveridge Road, Atlantic Avenue, and Railroad Avenue have a higher concentration of pedestrian collisions, compared to other Pittsburg roads. This calls for evaluating pedestrian conditions along the high injury network and throughout the City with similar characteristics that are highly unsafe for pedestrians. Improvements at these locations can include reducing pedestrian crossing distances, installing high visibility crosswalks, installing pedestrian refuge islands, installing RRFBs, and installing bulb outs.
For F+SI collisions in City of Pittsburg, 29% were due to unsafe speed violations, compared to 25% of collisions of all severity. Leland Road, Buchanan Road, N Parkside Drive, and Railroad Avenue have a higher concentration of unsafe speed violations, compared to other Pittsburg roads. Unsafe speed are not necessarily expressed as driving above posted speed limit but can be explained as a failure to stop the vehicle within safe distance due to excessive speeding. Improvements such as traffic calming strategies, installing dynamic speed warning signs, and road diet can all help to address unsafe speed violation collisions.
For F+SI collisions in City of Pittsburg, 13% were hit object collisions as well as 19% of all severity collisions. Leland Road, Harbor Street, Bailey Road, and Pittsburg-Antioch Highway have a higher concentration of hit object collisions, compared to other Pittsburg roads. Hit object collisions can potentially be mitigated through removing or relocating fixed objects (such as light and utility poles, traffic lights, road signs, curbs, fences, etc.) outside of Clear Recovery Zone, installing guardrails, and installing delineators, reflectors, and object markers.
The next steps include identifying strategies corresponding to the 4 E’s of safety (Engineering, Enforcement, Education, and EMS) to comprehensively make the roadways of the City of Pittsburg safer for all modes of transportation. 292
5 EMPHASIS AREAS
293
52 LOCAL ROAD SAFETY PLAN CITY OF PITTSBURG
EMPHASIS AREAS5
Emphasis areas are focus areas that are identified through analyzing the characteristics of collisions that have occurred in the City of Pittsburg within the last five years (2015-2019).
Emphasis areas help in identifying appropriate safety strategies and countermeasures that have the greatest potential to reduce collisions occurring at roadway segments and intersections. This technical memorandum summarizes six emphasis areas identified for the City of Pittsburg. These emphasis areas were derived by focusing on the collisions that have occurred on the high-injury network, previously identified for the City.
There are a number of different approaches to traffic safety studies. Some methodologies focus more on a reactive and responsive approach and others focus on a more proactive systemic approach to traffic safety data. A reactive approach to road safety is based on the analysis of existing crash data. Road safety improvements proposed are considered in reaction to identified safety problems brought to light by crashes that have occurred after the road has been designed, and built, and opened. Traditional reactive road safety engineering processes include such activities as information collection and management (crash information systems), identification of problem locations on the road network, analysis, development, and implementation of countermeasures. The Hazard Elimination Program or a jurisdictions high crash location list are examples of reactive approaches to crash frequency and/or severity reduction. A proactive approach focuses on the evolving “Science of Safety”, that is, what is known about the evolving specific safety implications of highway design and operations decisions. The proactive approach applies this knowledge to the roadway design process or to the implementation of improvement plans on existing roads to diminish the potential of crashes occurring prior to the road being built or reconstructed. The Empirical Bayes method is an example of such proactive traffic safety approach that attempts to predict future crashes based on roadway typologies. Most methodologies use a balance of both reactive and systemic safety approaches. 294
53 LOCAL ROAD SAFETY PLAN CITY OF PITTSBURG
Based on the systemic safety analysis that helped identified high-injury intersections and roadway segments, the top risk factors and emphasis areas determined for traffic safety in the City of Pittsburg are as follows:
• Improve Intersection safety (collisions within 250 feet of an intersection) • Improve Pedestrian and Bicycle safety
• Address Rear-end collisions and Unsafe speed violations • Address Broadside collisions
• Address Nighttime collisions
• Address Hit object collisions
The consolidated high-injury collision database can be found in Appendix C.
The 4 E’s of Traffic Safety
LRSP utilizes a comprehensive approach to safety incorporating “4 E’s of traffic safety”:
Engineering, Enforcement, Education and EMS. This approach recognizes that not all locations can be addressed solely by infrastructure improvements. Incorporating the 4 E’s of traffic safety is often required to ensure the successful implementation of significant safety improvements and reduce the severity and frequency of collisions throughout a jurisdiction.
Some of the common violation types that may require a comprehensive approach are speeding, failure-to-yield to pedestrians, red-light running, aggressive driving, failure to wear safety belts, distracted driving, and driving while impaired. When locations are identified as having these types of violations, coordination with the appropriate law enforcement agencies is needed to arrange visible targeted enforcement to reduce the potential for future driving violations and related crashes and injuries.
To improve safety, education efforts can also be used to supplement and improve the efficiency of enforcement, and vice versa. Education can also be employed in the short- term to address high crash locations until the recommended infrastructure project can be implemented, and addressed under Engineering improvements and countermeasures.
Similarly, EMS entails strategies around supporting organizations that provide rapid response and care when responding to collisions causing injury, by stabilizing victims and transporting them to facilities.

Factors Considered in the Determination of Emphasis Areas This section presents collision data analysis of collision type, collision factors, facility type, and roadway geometries, analyzed for the various emphasized areas. Emphasis areas were determined by factors that led to the highest amount of injury collisions, with a specific emphasis on F+SI collisions. The City of Pittsburg experienced a total of 316 injury collisions at high injury network locations during the 2015-2019 study period, including 53 fatal or severe injury collisions. The data presented in each emphasis area is based on these collisions. This section also presents comprehensive programs, policies, and countermeasures to reduce collisions in specific emphasis areas.
Note: Engineering countermeasures are based on the Caltrans LRSM and are used in HSIP calls for projects. They are categorized as follows:
• S = Signalized Intersections Countermeasures
• NS = Non-Signalized Intersections Countermeasures

COUNTERMEASURE
SELECTION6
Identification of Countermeasures
Upon the identification of high-risk locations and Emphasis Areas, the next step was to identify appropriate safety countermeasures. The Caltrans LRSM provides 82 countermeasures, of which 21 are eligible in the current HSIP call for signalized intersections, 23 for un- signalized intersections, and 38 for roadway segments. The LRSM provides guidance on where to apply the countermeasures including the crash types each countermeasure would address, and a CRF for each countermeasure. The FHWA CMF Clearinghouse and published research papers were reviewed by the project team to gain additional insight on CRFs and effectiveness of specific countermeasures.
The project team conducted a thorough review of the high-risk locations (intersections and roadway segments) using aerial photography, and Google Maps Street View software.
Countermeasures were confirmed after review by City staff. Crash characteristics of all collisions occurring on the High Injury Network were considered. After combining the physical and collision characteristics, the project team developed a table of preliminary countermeasures that address each of the identified emphasis areas. The table was refined by selecting up to five countermeasures for each high-risk location that were most commonly recommended among all emphasis areas. By doing this, the project team was able to identify countermeasures with the greatest opportunity for systemic implementation.
Countermeasure Toolbox
Engineering countermeasures were selected for each of the high-risk locations and for the emphasis areas. These were based off of approved countermeasures from the Caltrans LRSM used in HSIP grant calls for projects. The intention is to give the City potential countermeasures for each location that can be implemented either in future HSIP calls for projects, or using other funding sources, such as the City’s Capital Improvement Program.
Non-engineering countermeasures were also selected using the 4 E’s strategies, and are included with the emphasis areas. The countermeasure toolbox in Appendix E details the countermeasures for each high-risk location and emphasis area, separated by intersections and roadway segments. While not all of these countermeasures will be included in the resulting safety projects, they are included to give the City a toolbox for implementing future safety improvements through other means, such as the City’s Capital Improvement Program.
