DocuSign Envelope ID: 5DF0E8DE-3F75-417B-BE26-41EE075CFCF4
2 SERVICE DESCRIPTION
2.1 Areas within Scope
2.1.1 Implementation Scope
All activities to be performed remotely, unless otherwise stated.
NorthStar will deploy two instances of the mCare platform and applications in the Santa Monica environment: one Test instance and one Production instance.
2.1.2 Project Management
A NorthStar Project Manager (PM) will be the primary point of contact for Santa Monica on the mCare 6 implementation. The PM has the overall accountability to successfully deliver the services required for a successful mCare 6 implementation within agreed upon timeframe and budget. The project team will directly report to the PM and the PM will have the authority and support to manage the project team in the best interest of the project. The PM is also accountable for the following high-level project activities:
• Interface with Santa Monica assigned PM.
• Conduct regular internal project meetings to ensure that all aspects of the project are understood by the team and that progress and risks are properly reported. • Conduct regular project meetings with Santa Monica.
• Review of project status, schedule, risks, resources as well as any other issues that may affect the success the project.
2.1.3 mCare Installation & Configuration
• Santa Monica will be provided with an mCare Deployment guide as part of the project kick off.
Santa Monica IT will be responsible for obtaining and installing the necessary applications detailed in Appendix A – Hardware Requirements prior to the installation of mCare 6. • mCare 6 has dependencies on NorthStar database and code libraries being up-to-date. Santa Monica’s production environment will need to be patched up to the latest CIS maintenance release prior to the commencement of the mCare 6 project.
2.1.4 mCare Functional Review
• A NorthStar Technical Consultant will perform a code review of mCare 1 to determine what customizations, if any, had been made for Santa Monica. Once this analysis is complete a DocuSign Envelope ID: 5DF0E8DE-3F75-417B-BE26-41EE075CFCF4
NorthStar Application Consultant will conduct a functional review with Santa Monica to identify where this custom programming has been replaced by mCare 6 core functionality, what new mCare 6 functionality will be utilized and what custom modifications will no longer be available for Santa Monica.
2.1.5 mCare Training
2.1.5.1 Onsite End User Training; 4 days onsite
mCare Administrator Training Session:
• mCare Administrator training is held with those users who will be responsible for maintaining the application post Go LIVE. This session will be a combination of hands on configuration and process training. The NorthStar Consultant will show administrators how to manage users, roles and permissions and will familiarize them with those elements of the mCare application that they have the ability to update and/or add content to. An example of administrator training is installing and configuring the mCare Field App.
mCare Dispatch Training Session
• The mCare Dispatch training session will introduce those who will be responsible for assigning work to Field Service Representatives. As part of the session we provide a walk-through of the basic functionality to assist with understanding the mCare solution and features to managing service orders and requests.
mCare Office Training Session
• The mCare Office training session will introduce those who will be responsible for reviewing and approving field completed work by FSRs. As part of the session we provide a walk-through of the basic functionality to assist with understanding the mCare solution and features to managing service orders and requests.
mCare Field Service Representative Training Session
• The mCare FSR training session will introduce those who will be responsible for carrying out work in the field to mCare features for mobile devices.
2.1.6 mCare 6 User Acceptance Testing (UAT)
• NorthStar will provide Santa Monica UAT test plan and the mCare 6 User Guide for User Acceptance testing. Upon completion of testing Santa Monica will submit a signed copy of the DocuSign Envelope ID: 5DF0E8DE-3F75-417B-BE26-41EE075CFCF4
UAT test plan confirming all areas of mCare 6 have been successfully reviewed as a prerequisite for NorthStar to schedule the Go LIVE activities.
• Santa Monica will have two weeks to complete the initial round of User Acceptance Testing.
During that two week period NorthStar will work with Santa Monica to remediate all priority 1 issues. Santa Monica will then have one week of final Acceptance testing prior to scheduling Go LIVE.
• If a project delay is encountered due to external factors outside of NorthStar’s control, and User Acceptance Testing needs to extend beyond the initial two week and subsequent one week windows for UAT remediation testing NorthStar and Santa Monica will analyze the results of this external factor on the project timeline to determine if there is a need for a change request to reflect a substantial change to the project plan, budget, or timeline.
2.1.7 Go LIVE and Go LIVE Support
• NorthStar will deploy mCare 6 to production; including clearing the mCare database and repointing to NorthStar production database.
• NorthStar will create a copy of the mCare 6 instance which will become mCare TEST. • NorthStar will provided dedicated support for 10 business days post Go LIVE before transitioning to NorthStar Support Services.

3 ESTIMATED TIMELINE
The estimated duration of this engagement is approximately 7 weeks. The possibility and feasibility of a reduced duration will be evaluated during the Customer Preparation phase as it will depend on availability of resources and involvement of Santa Monica Team members. Adherence to the project plan and timeline is critical. NorthStar will prepare a formal project plan and timeline. Santa Monica will review, provide comments on, and provide NorthStar with approval of the project plan and timeline.
Timeline Phase Activities
Week 1 • Project Kick Off
• Customer Preparation
Week 2 • mCare 6 Installation
• mCare Functional Review
Week 3 • mCare Configuration & Training Onsite
Week 4 • User Acceptance Testing & Issues Remediation
Week 5 • User Acceptance Testing & Issues Remediation
Week 6 • Go LIVE
• Post Go LIVE Support
Week 7 • Post Go LIVE Support
• Transition to Support Services
There are a number of factors to be considered that will have an associated un-planned increase in effort and will therefore impact the project schedule. These factors are typically not determined until project kick-off and will be a key input into the final Go LIVE date and may result in additional cost. NorthStar will notify Santa Monica of any increase in effort and will provide Santa Monica with a Change Order according to section 4 Change Management Process. These factors include:
§ Project Resourcing:
• In the event that Santa Monica staff is unable to be dedicated to the agreed upon project plan, resulting in an extension of the timeline, NorthStar will evaluate the need for a Change Order for additional Project Management and dedicated support services to extend the project timeframe.
DocuSign Envelope ID: 5DF0E8DE-3F75-417B-BE26-41EE075CFCF4
4 CHANGE MANAGEMENT PROCESS

7 PROJECT ASSUMPTIONS
The Services, fees and delivery schedule for this engagement are based upon the following assumptions:
• Any items not explicitly identified within this document are considered out of scope. Any changes to those responsibilities and/or deliverables will be considered a change in scope for the engagement.
Any proposed change to the engagement scope must be put into written format and be submitted to NorthStar during this engagement for review and consideration. • This engagement currently has, and will continue to have, the support of senior Santa Monica management and will be assigned sufficient priority with respect to other project to ensure its success. • Santa Monica will assign a lead to act as an internal resource and guide throughout this engagement. • Santa Monica will secure the appropriate staff in a timely fashion in order to discuss or review the various materials produced when required.
• Santa Monica will provide access and support from the IT group and any other stakeholder, as deemed necessary by NorthStar throughout this engagement.
• Santa Monica agrees to facilitate any required Santa Monica Corporate logistics for the fulfillment of this agreement.
• Santa Monica will secure, as required and in a timely fashion, the assistance and cooperation of third party vendors (e.g. CIS, AMI, Payment, Bill View) to ensure a successful mCare 6 implementation. A change control may be created if the third party vendor is unavailable or non-cooperative and as such results in an impact to the schedule or effort.
• Third party vendor solutions are able to provide information required by the mCare 6 as well as accept information provided by the mCare 6.
• All documentation provided by Santa Monica shall be up-to-date and accurate or if that is not the case, advise NorthStar as such.
• All hardware, software, and network components supplied by Santa Monica are working properly and are free of defects and will meet minimum hardware standards provided during the engagement. • To minimize project costs, the majority of project work will be performed at one of the NorthStar’s locations except for project activities where face-to-face is deemed more effective. • Santa Monica will provide the appropriate remote access to its network, facilities, and systems as may be required to perform activities from one of NorthStar’s locations. NorthStar shall abide by all rules and directions of Santa Monica when accessing the Customer’s network, facilities or systems. • The environment that has been installed, configured, and validated during the mCare 6 implementation will become the production environment at Go LIVE. • Once the initial installation of mCare 6 has been completed and connectivity has been confirmed, NorthStar strongly recommends that the environment remains static for the duration of the project.
Troubleshooting performance or mCare 6 functionality issues, resulting from environment changes, such as operating system updates and network modifications, is considered outside the scope of the mCare 6 project. Santa Monica will be issued a project change order for time incurred reviewing such issues. If at any point, it is confirmed that the issue is caused by NorthStar, all service charges will be waived.
DocuSign Envelope ID: 5DF0E8DE-3F75-417B-BE26-41EE075CFCF4
• Price does not include Santa Monica approved travel and living expenses that may be required as part of the delivery of the engagement unless specified in the contract (i.e. air, car rental, gas, per diem and hotel). NorthStar will work with Santa Monica to identify most cost effective accommodations for Santa Monica on-site activities that are mutually agreed upon. • Santa Monica resources will be available as required for Acceptance Testing. It is expected that the individuals identified will have experience in the day-to-day operations and will work closely with the NorthStar Consultant to resolve issues as required. The main purpose for this interaction is to provide a quick and consistent response to procedural issues so that the NorthStar Consultant is not required to contact a large number of Users.
• mCare 6 may have dependencies on NorthStar database and code libraries being up-to-date. Santa Monica’s TEST environment will be patched up to the latest Maintenance Release prior to deployment of the custom mod. Note; mCare 6 testing phase may need to be extended based on the number of upgrade patches required to properly update the TEST environment to the NorthStar recommended release state.

Overview
NorthStar’s mCare uses the latest innovative technology to allow service order information to flow seamlessly between the office and the field. The intuitive interface maximizes adoption through ease of use, and has been designed specifically for mobility over any device or browser. With robust offline capabilities, and a completely redesigned user interface, managing day-to-day in-field activities has never been easier.
This feature guide provides a comprehensive list of the features and functions available within mCare. As mCare is a role based application, the features are grouped by role.
Administrator
The mCare Administrator role is responsible for system configuration and user management. The Administrator accesses mCare through a browser interface.
Settings
Change default application configurations: Account administrators will have the capability to change the organization name, google analytics key, map engine, and the geocoding key based on the utility’s preferences and needs. System Administrators will also be able to configure the password strength rules for users.
Service Orders
Predefined Completion Notes: The system administrator can create a list of predefined terms and common sentences that the Field Service Representative (FSR) can choose when creating their completion notes.
Service Orders in the Field: FSRs will have the ability to create service orders while in the field. The Administrator will be able to determine which service order call codes or types can be created in the field by the FSRs.
Service Orders to be Auto-Completed:
Administrators can select which types ofservice
orders do not require manual approval. These
service orders will skip being sent to a back
office clerk for approval and will be sent directly
to the CIS.
DocuSign Envelope ID: 5DF0E8DE-3F75-417B-BE26-41EE075CFCF4
Service Orders With Special Meter Types: Administrators can highlight service orders based on specific criteria. mCare allows the administrator to group together specific types of meters and apply a color category to each one to make it easier for FSRs to identify special meter types.
Service Orders that Require Meter Read:
Administrators will be able to select which service
orders require the FSRs to provide a meter reading
before the service order can be completed.
Maximum Horizon for Service Orders:
Administrators can select which service orders are
automatically shown if no other filters are applied.
Administrators can select a date range and only
service orders with a scheduled date in this range will show up.
Install Meter Option: Administrators can select which service orders contain an install action button. The button will be present when the FSR is working on a service order that is associated with a meter installation.
Removing Characters from Meter #: Administrators can set mCare to collect only numerical values of a meter number. If an FSR scans a meter number that is ABCD1234, mCare will automatically change the meter number to 1234 if these settings are configured.
Padding meter # with 0s: Administrators can configure mCare to pad the meter number entered by the FSR with zeroes. If the padding is set to 3 and an FSR enters the meter number 123, mCare will automatically interpret the meter number as 000123.
Service Order Card Priority Colors: A different color will show on each service order to indicate the level of priority. The color of the label to indicate the priority will be selected by the administrator, who can change the colors at any time.
Remove Meter Options: Administrators can select which service orders will contain the option for FSRs to remove a meter. During a meter removal, FSRs will have a list of meter statuses to select from that match the status defined in the CIS. The administrator can select which meter statuses the FSR will be able to choose from. The administrator can select which status will automatically be set during a meter removal.
DocuSign Envelope ID: 5DF0E8DE-3F75-417B-BE26-41EE075CFCF4
Change out Meter Option: Administrators will be able to select which type of service orders will show the FSR a “meter replace meter changeout” button.
Register Swaps: Administrators can select which service order call types allow FSRs to make register swaps.
Adjust Transponder ID: Administrators can select service order call types that will allow the FSR to make changes to transponders/ERTs.
Suppressed Time Bands: Administrators can hide ON, MID, OFF peak bands from meter cards on smart meters so that FSRs will not be required to enter reads for those time bands.
Service Order Expiry on an FSR Completion Screen: Administrators can select the number of days that a completed service order will remain on the FSR’s completion screen.
After the set amount of days, the service orders will be auto-purged.
Rules for Linked Moves: Administrators can set the rules for linked moves to show a single service order card. Administrators will need to set the linked service order period for a move in/move out on the same premise to appear as a linked move.
Last Read from Bill Range: Administrators will set the range for how far back the system will look (in months) to find the last bill on the account, which is used to perform forecasting calculations for meter read validation purposes.
Variance Check Tolerance Value: The administrator will set the variance range for meter reading warnings. If a meter read is outside of this range the FSR will see a warning after they enter the read.
FSR Work Area Radius: The administrator will determine how large the FSR's work-area displayed on the mCare map is.
Shared Queues: Administrators can set up shared queues and grant FSRs permissions to these queues.
FSRs with permission can then select work for the queue. These queues can be organized by type of work, physical location, scheduled time of the service order or the administrator’s preference. Administrators can created rules that will allow for specific service orders to automatically appear in a certain share queue.
FormSets: Administrators can create custom forms and add them as additional steps to specific service order types. FSRs will be required to complete the form when completing a service order.
User Management
Managing Users, Permissions, and Roles: Administrators will have the capability to add new users, set users’ role and permissions, reset a user’s password, and archive or suspend a user. For FSRs this will include setting which shared queues they belong to, which service orders they can claim from a shared queue, and assigning the FSR to a dispatcher. The administrator will be able to set service order viewing permissions for dispatchers and back office clerks.
DocuSign Envelope ID: 5DF0E8DE-3F75-417B-BE26-41EE075CFCF4
Dispatcher
The primary role of the Dispatcher is to manage the queue of service orders to ensure that work is properly assigned and that it is carried out in the correct priority and timeliness. The browser interface provides the following primary views: the dispatch cue, which contains the service order cards; a map of the service order locations; and a list of the FSRs that can accept work and the shared queues.
Service orders scheduled for dispatch: The dispatch queue lists service orders (types 1 to 5) that were created and scheduled by Customer Service Representatives (CSRs) in the CIS. It will only list service orders the dispatcher has access to. The list can be further filtered and sorted.
Service Order Cards: Dispatchers can view the service order card and expand the card by clicking in the white area of the card. The service order contains information including: call code, call type, type description, scheduling info, priority, number of days from the scheduled date, status of the service order, address, location alerts, notes from the service order, services/ meter types, and meter number.
Linked Moves: For linked moves dispatchers will see both the service order cards stacked on top of each other. An alert will appear if there is a conflict due to multiple move-ins or move-outs on the same day for the same account.
Filtering and Sorting the Dispatch Queue: Dispatchers
can filter and sort the dispatch queue for easier viewing of the service orders. The filtering options include
changing the date range, call type, created by, cycle,
route, order type, call code, priority, postal code, and region. More than one filtering criteria can be applied at the same time. Dispatchers can sort the list in
ascending or descending order based on the creation
date, street name, call code, cycle, route, walk, region, scheduled date, and priority level.
Map functionality: Dispatchers will see the service orders on the map and can click on any service order to find it in the list of cards, or they can click on the individual service order card to find it on the map.
Dispatchers can change the map view between map and satellite based on their needs. The transparent color-coded circle corresponds with the color assigned to each FSR. This circle is a circumference boundary of all orders currently assigned to the corresponding FSR. Dispatchers will be able to view if an FSR has accepted a service order and the order they plan to complete their work in.
Viewing an FSR’s Availability: Dispatchers will be able to see the current list of FSRs that they can assign work to, whether that FSR is online or offline and the last time they were online.
Assigning Service Orders to an FSR: Dispatchers can assign a service order to an FSR by dragging the service order card and dropping it into the desired FSR’s queue.
Dispatchers can assign multiple orders at once by filtering and choosing the “select all” option.
DocuSign Envelope ID: 5DF0E8DE-3F75-417B-BE26-41EE075CFCF4
Withdrawing Service Orders from an FSR: Dispatchers can remove a service order if the FSR has not already accepted the request.
Assigning Work to Shared Queues: Dispatchers can assign work to a shared queue by dragging and dropping the service order card into the queue.
Withdrawing Service Orders from a Shared Queue: If the service order has not been claimed by an FSR then the dispatcher can remove the service order from the queue.
Field Service Representative
Field Service staff primarily work within the mCare mobile application, which is available on either IOS, Android, or Windows mobile. The FSR uses mCare to provide a real time status of the work assigned to them or available to be worked on. mCare allows FSR’s to prioritize work, receive instructions, and complete their service orders through a rich user experience. When FSRs open mCare they will be able to toggle between their pending, accepted and completed service orders and view them on the map.
Service Order Cards: FSRs can view the service order cards in any of the lists and expand the card by clicking in the white area of the card. The service order contains information including: call code, call type, type description, scheduling info, priority, number of days from the scheduled date, status of the service order, address, location alerts, notes from the service order, services/ meter types, and meter number.
Linked Moves: For linked moves the FSRs will see both
the service order cards stacked on top of each other.
Sorting the Pending List of Service Orders: FSRs can
sort the list of pending service orders in ascending or descending order based on the creation date, street
name, call code, cycle, route, walk, region, scheduled
date or priority code.
Claiming a Service Order from a Shared Queue: FSRs
will only see service orders that they have authority to work on. Any service order from the shared queue can
be claimed by the FSR and will be added into their
pending folder. They can discard the service order from here and send it back to the shared queue if necessary.
Accepting a Service Order: FSRs can accept their pending service orders all at once or one by one.
Discarding a Service Order: FSRs can discard any service orders in their pending list and the service order will be sent back to dispatch or the originating shared queue.
Sorting the Accepted List of Service Orders: FSRs can arrange the order they plan to complete their accepted service orders in by dragging the cards into the desired order.
Delaying a Service Order: If an FSR cannot complete a service order but would like to work on it the following day they can delay it and move it back into the pending folder. The service order will not be assigned to a different FSR.
DocuSign Envelope ID: 5DF0E8DE-3F75-417B-BE26-41EE075CFCF4
Discarding a Service Order: FSRs can discard an accepted service order but will have to add a reason to the discard note. The service order will go back to the dispatch, with the entered note added to completion notes within the CIS.
Performing Work: When FSRs open the service order to perform work they will find the steps for the service order and an indication of which steps are mandatory. FSRs will be able to update location information including general notes, location keys and location warnings. FSRs will also be able to capture meter information such as a new meter read, removing, installing or replacing a meter. FSRs can record installing, replacing or removing a transponder/ ERT, adding or removing a PT/CT and replacing a register.
Editing a Completed Service Order: If a service order has not been reviewed and accepted in the CIS then the FSR may take it back to update it.
Creating a New Service Order Based on a Previous Service Order: FSRs can create a new service order in the field from the context of another pending, accepted or completed service order.
Email Notification: When an FSR completes a service order in the field, an email notification will be sent to the Customer Service Representative that created the service order.
Driving directions: FSRs will be able to click on a link to Google Maps that will provide turn by turn directions to the assigned address.
View Account History: FSRs will be able to view service order history for an account. The last 12 months of service orders on the account will be shown.
Security: FSRs can access mCare through the VPN or secure HTTPS protocol. The cached data on the device is encrypted.
Integrations: Images taken in the field by the FSRs will be sent to eDOCS or FIleNexus.
Back Office Clerk
This office role uses a browser interface to review, manage, and approve service orders that require either validation or some other intervention before they can be completed. Back office clerks will see any of the following service orders to be manually approved depending on their permissions:
• Generic
• Moves into vacant
• Final moves
• Disconnects and reconnects
• Activate and deactivate service
Filtering Service Order Approvals: Back office clerks can filter the service orders that need approval by the type and a notification will display how many of each there are. Service orders can also be filtered by their completion date range, scheduled date range and service orders that were previously approved but failed.
DocuSign Envelope ID: 5DF0E8DE-3F75-417B-BE26-41EE075CFCF4
Viewing Photos: Back office clerks can view the photos FSRs have taken and attached to the service order.
Back office clerks can add or remove photos to the service order.
Adjusting Meter Reads: Back office clerks can edit the service order once it is completed and adjust the meter reading.
Adjusting Meter Installations: Back office clerks can correct meter installations, such as the wrong serial number entered or if the meter is not in stock.
Sending a Service Order Back for Rework: Back office clerks can send service order back to FSRs for rework. The back office clerk will need to provide a note explaining the reason for the rework.
Approving a Service Order: Once the back office clerk is done reviewing they can approve the service order and add any completion notes.
Creating a Report: Back office clerks can create a report through the “Service Orders to Report” page which allows users to search the mCare archive by date range and/or account and apply additional filters to the list before exporting. mCare will produce a list of all service orders for a selected date range that can be filtered by creation date, street name, call code, cycle-route-walk, region, scheduled date and priority. The report can then be exported to excel for further analysis. The following details are able to be exported from mCare:
