City Council Agenda Item Report
Submitted by: Daniel Wall
Submitting Department: Public Works
Meeting Date: June 21, 2022
SUBJECT
Moratorium on Warehouse Uses, Freight and Terminals, Container Storage and Parking Recommendation:
A. Find that the proposed action is exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review, because it is general policy and procedure-making activity that is unrelated to any specific project, which must undergo separate CEQA review, and that will not result in direct physical changes or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical changes in the environment, and therefore does not constitute a “project” as defined by CEQA Guidelines Section 15378; and
B. Adopt Interim Urgency Ordinance No. 1283 establishing a 45-day temporary moratorium on the establishment, expansion, or modification of warehouse uses, freight terminals, truck terminals, container storage, and container parking in the City of Vernon.
Background:
In recent years, the proliferation of e-commerce and rising consumer expectations of rapid shipping have contributed to a boom in warehouse development. With its ports, population centers, and transportation network, California has been especially affected by this trend. Warehouses and related businesses such as truck terminals, truck yards, and container storage operations generate significant environmental impacts. As a result, the California Attorney General’s Bureau of Environmental Justice has increased its scrutiny over warehouse developments and the impacts associated with their operations and heavy fleet use.
Like the State, the City has experienced significant growth of large warehouses, distribution facilities and related businesses. Such facilities consume large areas of land in Vernon with little benefit to the City as they typically do not provide many jobs or generate sufficient utility users tax, property tax, sales tax, or business license revenues to off-set their impact on the City. As noted above, warehouses and related businesses can generate unique environmental impacts on surrounding properties and the larger community, including frequent truck traffic, noise impacts from on-site operations, emissions and air quality issues that impact public health, and maintenance impacts on City streets.
Currently, the vacancy rate in the City is exceptionally low. This increases the value of property which, in turn, encourages the greater intensity of use at warehouse facilities, which increase the truck trips generated by these facilities. Additionally, advances in robotics and ecommerce have reduced the number of people employed by these facilities. The proliferation of these facilities presents several issues for the Community and the City including land use, traffic and safety, environmental and health, and fiscal issues.
Land Use Issues
All of Vernon is zoned industrial. By their nature, warehouse and related uses tend to locate on large parcels of land and in large industrial buildings. Similarly, truck yards, cargo container parking, and cargo container storage take large areas of land. These uses take up land that could otherwise be used for purposes that would generate jobs, and additional property tax and utility users tax for the City.
Traffic and Safety Issues
Warehouse facilities generate significant truck traffic, and sometimes these facilities and/or the trucks operate 24-hours-a-day. This truck traffic causes environmental issues including traffic congestion, detrimental air quality, noise, and vibration. These trucks travel City streets to reach their destinations and, because of their sheer size, pose unique and challenging traffic issues such as:
Increased safety risk for smaller vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists Damage to City property/facilities from collisions (reported and unreported); i.e. street lights, traffic signal equipment, signs, trees, curbs, medians, etc.
Reduced levels of service on streets and at intersections Pavement impacts
Environmental and Health Issues
Diesel engines emit a complex mixture of air pollutants, including both gaseous and solid material. The solid material in diesel exhaust is known as diesel particulate matter (DPM).
DPM is considered a subset of particulate matter less than 2.5 microns in diameter (PM2.5).
Most PM2.5 derives from combustion, such as the use of gasoline and diesel fuels by motor vehicles. DPM is most concentrated adjacent to freeways and streets traveled by trucks.
PM2.5 is the size of ambient particulate matter air pollution most associated with adverse health effects of the air pollutants that have ambient air quality standards. These health effects include cardiovascular and respiratory conditions.
Fiscal Issues
Warehouse and related businesses generate significantly lower utility users tax, property tax, sales tax, and business license revenues, than other less truck intensive uses, while trucks significantly impact the condition of the City's streets.
The City commissioned a Pavement Management Plan to obtain an inventory of pavement conditions for the City’s entire street network, and to develop strategies for the maintenance of the City’s streets including a budgetary analysis to determine the funding needs. The report concluded the average rating for the City’s street network is a C-. Much of the reason for this low grade is due to the load related (alligator cracking and heave) distress caused by trucks. It is estimated that it will require total expenditures of between $20 to $25 million from the General Fund to bring the street network up to an average B+ rating. Additionally, trucks frequently damage other City infrastructure including power poles, catch basins and traffic signals.
Over the coming months, the City will update its General Plan and Zoning Code, and adopt a Specific Plan or Plans to update its goals and policies for the development of the City. While the City recognizes the value of warehouse facilities, the City must balance the interests of such businesses with the well-being of the community, attraction of land uses that create highpaying jobs, generate revenues to pay for street maintenance and other essential services, and ensure that warehouse facilities mitigate their fair share of impacts on the City and the surrounding community. The moratorium will provide staff the additional time to obtain all of the information necessary to analyze the issues and provide recommendations to the Council.
The following provides the most salient details of the proposed moratorium:
Businesses Subject To Moratorium
All warehouse and related facilities as defined below are subject to this moratorium. Once it is determined a warehouse or related facility is subject to the moratorium, other provisions of the moratorium must be applied to that facility.
“Warehouse” means an industrial building used for the freight forwarding, deposit, storage, safekeeping, transportation of goods, distribution facilities, logistics services such as but not limited to material handling, packaging, inventory, transportation, storage, warehousing, industrial wholesale, portable storage rental facility, truck terminals, hazardous materials and/or hazardous waste facilities, truck yards, cargo container storage and cargo container parking, and manufacturing uses with less than 50% of floor area devoted to manufacturing.
Exemptions from the Moratorium
1. The annual renewal of an existing business license, any permits necessary for the routine maintenance of the buildings or sites, or any permits necessary for repairs required due to an emergency or to protect the public health, safety, and welfare shall not be considered issuance of a permit.
2. Tenant improvements for current tenants within an existing building, provided the tenant improvements would not otherwise be considered an expansion or modification of the facility.
3. Any new or renewed lease agreement, provided that the term does not exceed 3 years.
4. The establishment, expansion, or modification of any warehouse or related facilities with pending permits or that have already received full approvals and commenced construction or incurred expenses for construction prior to this ordinance.
Activities Subject to the Moratorium
During the effective period of this ordinance, no application for permit will be accepted, no consideration of any application for permit will be made, and no permit will be issued by the City for the establishment, expansion, or modification of any warehouse or related facilities within the City until this ordinance has expired or has been repealed according to applicable law. Further, all processing of existing applications for permits shall be suspended immediately.
Ordinance Adoption
Adoption of the proposed Interim Urgency Ordinance requires a favorable vote by a four-fifths vote of the City Council. If adopted, the Ordinance shall take effect immediately upon adoption for a period of 45 days, at which time it will automatically expire unless extended by the City Council.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this report.

SECTION 4. Urgency Findings. In accordance with California Government Code Section 65858 and Vernon City Charter Chapter 4.4, in order to protect the public health, safety, and welfare, the City Council of the City of Vernon hereby finds, determines, and declares that:
A. The City has experienced significant growth of large warehouses, distribution facilities, and related businesses. These facilities can generate unique environmental impacts on surrounding properties and the larger community, including frequent truck traffic, noise impacts from on-site operations, emissions and air quality issues, and maintenance impacts on City streets.
B. Government Code Section 65858 expressly authorizes the City Council, in order to protect public health, safety, and welfare, to adopt an interim urgency ordinance prohibiting a use that is in conflict with a contemplated general plan, specific plan, or zoning proposal that the legislative body, planning commission, or planning department is considering or studying or intends to study within a reasonable time, provided that the urgency ordinance shall require a four-fifths (4/5) vote of the legislative body for adoption, and shall be of no further force and effect 45 days from its date of adoption, unless duly extended. Chapter 4.4 of the Vernon City Charter also authorizes the City Council to adopt an emergency ordinance for the immediate preservation of public safety, health, or peace.
C. This Ordinance is being adopted to allow the City sufficient time to review, study and revise the City’s laws, rules, procedures, and fees related to warehouse and related businesses in the City of Vernon. In light of the City’s exceptionally low vacancy rate and continued growth of large warehouse and related facilities, the City Council finds that the following adverse public safety, health, and welfare impacts are of real concern:
a. Establishment, expansion, or modification of warehouse and related businesses may create immediate irreversible and costly adverse impacts in the community; to wit, street damage, noise, vibration, and pollution. These impacts are already dire for the City and would worsen and become less Ordinance No. 1283
_______________________
manageable with every new warehouse facility that begins or expands its operation in the City of Vernon. The City cannot afford to continue to impose such impacts onto its budget and its citizens and cannot allow these impacts to accumulate any further while the General Plan and Zoning Code are updated, and Specific Plan or Plans are being developed.
b. It is now essential to determine the development capacity within the City where such businesses are currently permitted, considering the capabilities of infrastructure and public services.
c. Through analysis of the impacts currently imposed by the current amount of truck traffic generated by warehouse and related facilities, traffic studies to determine ways in which to minimize truck traffic impacts, and measures that the City can take to mitigate or prevent impacts from logistics facilities altogether.
d. Absent the adoption of this Ordinance, the establishment, expansion, or modification of warehouse and related businesses could result in the negative and harmful secondary effects identified above.
e. As a result of the negative and harmful secondary effects associated with the establishment, expansion, or modification of warehouse and related businesses, the current and immediate threat these businesses pose to the public health, safety, and welfare, and the potential zoning conflicts that would be created by such development, it is necessary to adopt a temporary, fortyfive (45) day moratorium on the establishment, expansion, or modification of warehouse and related businesses in the City.
f. A moratorium is necessary in order to protect the City and its residents, businesses and visitors from the potential health and safety impacts of logistics businesses, including air quality, noise, traffic, parking, and other impacts, and to preserve the quality of life and protect the health, safety, and welfare of the surrounding communities.
g. A moratorium is immediately required to preserve the public health, safety, and welfare and should be adopted immediately as an urgency ordinance, to make certain that permits for warehouse and related businesses are issued only under adequate regulations and consistent with the City’s future goals for development and expansion. Imposition of a moratorium will allow the City sufficient time to conclude the preparation of comprehensive studies and plans for the regulation of such activities. The absence of this Ordinance would allow the proliferation of such businesses and their undesirable secondary impacts, and create a serious threat to the orderly and effective implementation of any amendments to the General Plan and the Zoning Code, and Specific Plan or Ordinance No. 1283
_______________________
Plans being developed, as well as the vision for the City going forward, contemplated by the City Council.
h. Truck trips generated by logistics facilities have direct impacts on the community including traffic, air quality, noise, vibrations, and health impacts on the community.
i. Truck traffic increases the maintenance costs of streets for the City. For example, a 1999 study for the City of Irwindale concluded that one loaded mining truck causes street damage equivalent to that caused by 10,000 automobiles. City of Irwindale Mining Reclamation Impact Study, prepared by Greystone, March 1999, Vol. I, p. iii @ 2.a., and Vol. II., pp. 25-29. A loaded mining truck weighs approximately 80,000 pounds, which is comparable to the average weight of loaded 18-wheeler trucks that commonly traverse the City of Vernon to and from warehouse facilities. The City intends to further research this issue and determine the impacts of trucks with three axles or more. j. Trucks likely affect air quality, as their emissions are many times those of passenger vehicles, and thus are also likely to have concomitant health effects.
Diesel engines emit a complex mixture of air pollutants, including both gaseous and solid material. The solid material in diesel exhaust is known as diesel particulate matter (DPM). DPM is considered a subset of particulate matter less than 2.5 microns in diameter (PM2.5). Most PM2.5 derives from combustion, such as use of gasoline and diesel fuels by motor vehicles, DPM is most concentrated adjacent to freeways and streets traveled by trucks. PM2.5 is the size of ambient particulate matter air pollution most associated with adverse health effects of the air pollutants that have ambient air quality standards.
These health effects include cardiovascular and respiratory hospitalizations, and premature death.
D. Over the next few months, the City will update its General Plan and Zoning Code and adopt a Specific Plan or Plans to update its goals and policies for the development of the City. While the City recognizes the value of warehouse facilities, the City must balance the interests of such businesses on the one hand, and the well-being of the community, attraction of land uses that create high-paying jobs, generate revenues to pay for road maintenance and other essential services, and ensure that warehouse facilities mitigate their fair share of impacts on the City and the surrounding community.
E. Because of the actual and potential detrimental impacts of warehouse and related uses upon the City, which impacts may not be presently adequately addressed by the City’s existing ordinances and zoning regulations, there is a need to impose a temporary moratorium on the establishment, expansion, or modification of warehouse uses, freight terminals, truck terminals, container storage, and container parking uses in order to study and develop policy guidance and Ordinance No. 1283
_______________________
potentially implement changes to the City’s zoning regulations and General Plan update.
F. The City Council further finds that the moratorium is a matter of local and Citywide importance and is not directed towards any particular person or entity that seeks to operate warehouse and related facilities.
SECTION 5. Moratorium.
A. Moratorium: Based on the findings set forth herein for the immediate preservation of the public health, safety, and welfare, during the effective period of this Ordinance, no application for permit will be accepted, no consideration of any application for permit will be made, and no permit will be issued by the City for the establishment, expansion, or modification of any logistics facilities within the City until this Ordinance has expired or has been repealed according to applicable law.

2. Tenant improvements for current tenants within an existing building, provided the tenant improvements would not otherwise be considered an expansion or modification of the facility.
3. Any new or renewed lease agreement, provided that the term does not exceed three (3) years.
4. The establishment, expansion, or modification of any warehouse or related facilities with pending permits or that have already received full approvals and commenced construction or incurred expenses for construction prior to this Ordinance.
SECTION 6. Review and Study. During the period of this Ordinance, the Director of Public Works shall review and study the adverse impacts of and the benefits provided by, warehouse and related facilities in the City, so as to quantify the concerns described in Section 4, and shall recommend proposed revisions to the City’s laws, rules, procedures, and fees related to these facilities, so as to enable the City to adequately and appropriately balance the rights of existing property owners and future applicants who wish to establish, expand, or modify logistics facilities, with the preservation of the health, safety and welfare of the communities.

City Council Agenda Item Report
Submitted by: Angela Melgar
Submitting Department: Finance/Treasury
Meeting Date: June 21, 2022
SUBJECT
Professional Services Agreement with Tyler Technologies for Citywide Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Software as a Service (SaaS) Hosting and Support Recommendation:
Authorize additional funds in the amount of $729,926 to Contract IT-0152 for the SaaS annual fees with Tyler Technologies, Inc. for a Citywide ERP Software System, Hosting, Implementation, and Support, bringing the total not-to-exceed amount of the contract to $3,037,949.
Background:
On December 1, 2020, City Council approved an agreement with Tyler Technologies (IT0152) for the implementation of a new ERP system and SaaS hosting and support services (Attachment 1). At the time the agreement was approved, Council authorized a not-to-exceed total of $3,439,726 for all project-related costs: recurring annual fees ($373,203), one-time implementation fees ($1,934,820), project management for implementation ($819,000), and a contingency reserve ($312,703). As noted at the time, a separate project management and consulting agreement with SDI Presence, LLC. in the amount of $819,000 was submitted for Council approval on April 20, 2021. Additionally, the authorized reserve amount remains unused as no contingency needs have arisen to date. Thus, of the $3,439,726 approved by Council, a not-to-exceed total of $2,308,023 was authorized for Contract IT-0152 with Tyler Technologies (Tyler) for the SaaS and one-time implementation fees.
In reviewing the Tyler invoice and contract for year two, staff recognized that a calculation error was made in the total not-to-exceed amount presented to Council for approval on December 1, 2020. Staff identified the $373,203 necessary for recurring annual fees in the staff report; however, only one year of the annual fee cost was actually included in the not-toexceed total. As such, an additional $371,043 per year for each of the remaining two years of the three-year agreement with Tyler is necessary to cover the annual maintenance fees. The amount of annual fees is less than the amount included in the original staff report by $2,160, as a $2,000 recurring annual fee for Tyler EnerGov integration to Laserfiche will be paid to a third-party provider, ECS Imaging, Inc., and there is a reduction of $160 for a substitution of Analytics and Reporting for the Citizen Self Service module. There is also a subtraction of the $10,000 one-time fee to Tyler for Laserfiche integration with EnerGov, as the fee for this functionality is to be made payable directly to ECS Imaging, Inc.
Although sufficient funds were appropriated to the ERP project through the annual budget process and funds are available for this purpose in the IT budget, Council approval is required in order to correct the administrative error and approve an increase to the total not-to-exceed amount of Contract IT-0152, bringing the total to $3,037,949.
The ERP system will replace the multiple disparate systems such as Eden ($82,245.78 annual fees), Advanced Utility Systems for utility billing ($47,358.35 annual fees), and EnvisionConnect Software for Health Department ($12,686.35 annual fees) currently used by the City. In conjunction with the contracted project manager, staff is evaluating additional software service offerings to further increase efficiencies with processes employed at the City.
In the upcoming months, staff will bring forward for Council approval amendments to add Tyler's Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) module and its associated inventory conversion to replace the City's existing Lucity work order software and Malburg Generating Station's Hexagon EAM work order and inventory management software, and Executime Advanced Scheduling to replace the City's existing Kronos timekeeping system used by the Police Department. The focus continues to be optimizing technology to enhance the services and offerings that the City provides to the community, increasing ease of use for employees and customers alike.
Fiscal Impact:
Sufficient funds for Software as a Service hosting and support services were included in the FY 2021-22 General Fund, Information Technology Department budget Account No. 011.9019.590110 for the recurring annual fees, with the next year’s fees included in the FY 2022-23 budget Account No. 011.9019.590110 approved by Council on June 7, 2022.

1. 20201201 Agenda Item Report
City Council Agenda Item Report
Agenda Item No. COV-429-2020
Submitted by: Scott Williams
Submitting Department: Finance/Treasury
Meeting Date: December 1, 2020
SUBJECT
Software as a Service Agreement with Tyler Technologies for a Citywide Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Software System, Hosting, Implementation, and Support (Continued from November 17, 2020) Recommendation:
Approve the Software as a Service Agreement with Tyler Technologies, Inc., in substantially the same form as submitted, for the purpose of an upgrade from the current Tyler ERP system (Eden) to a comprehensive ERP software system, which would include modules for Munis, EnerGov, Digital Health Department (DHD), and the Munis Utility Billing Customer Information System (CIS), with funds reserved for a project management consultant in an amount not-to-exceed $3,439,726 for a three (3) year term.
Background:
This item was tabled from the November 17 meeting at the direction of the City Council to allot time for staff to address Council's request for additional information regarding funding options, allocation of cost between City departments, and time span of the project. Staff is now prepared to provide specific details regarding project implementation and costs associated to the various phases of the project.
In 2019, Public Works issued an Request for Proposals (RFP) for a Land Use, Permit and Inspection Tracking System. As one of the top proposers, Tyler Technologies, Inc. (Tyler) was invited to provide a software demonstration. During that demonstration, Tyler underscored the benefits of having an integrated system and established how EnerGov was the best qualified product to meet the needs specified in the RFP. Rather than procure the singular functionality offered with EnerGov without assessing its integration capabilities in greater detail, staff began to evaluate a "big picture" solution.
Since, City Management staff has worked collaboratively to identify a solution that would meet specific departmental needs while upholding a path to a true and reliable integration of systems, resulting in a fully-functional Citywide ERP. A Software as a Service Agreement with Tyler is now being recommended for approval to accomplish the goal of an updated, cloud-based, comprehensive ERP software system which will include: Munis, EnerGov, Digital Health Department (DHD), and the Munis Utility Billing Customer Information System (CIS).
As an incentive to the City, Tyler offered to honor the City’s current licenses for its Eden modules and a unique opportunity to upgrade to the Munis system in lieu of a new purchase. The City has a long-standing relationship with Tyler, having used the current Eden ERP software since 2006. However, the Eden ERP is already at its end-of-useful-life stage, which may cause data security issues. The City's existing software is supported by only 35 representatives nationwide, which causes delays in resolving system errors. Tyler’s Munis ERP solution integrates core financial applications seamlessly by eliminating duplicate data entry, streamlining processes, and reducing the need for paper forms.
In order to position the City to leverage a fully integrated system, Tyler also presented Munis Utility Billing CIS as a solution for electric, gas, and water operations that would reduce duplication of labor and data.
Tyler is the sole-source provider of a utility billing software that integrates with the Munis ERP. Likewise, Tyler Digital Health Department (DHD) is the only option for the Health Department that is fully integrated with Munis. Tyler Technologies' proprietary access to the database would simplify the conversion process from Eden to Munis and minimize costs for the City.
Furthermore, there are savings and benefits in utilizing a hosted (cloud based) Tyler Munis ERP. Tyler would perform all maintenance, updates, backups, and system server security which would reduce the City’s overtime, maintenance, and hardware costs. Information stored in Tyler’s data centers has secure data transmission, fully-redundant telecommunications access, and electrical power. Tyler conducts annual penetration testing and maintains industry standard intrusion detection and prevention systems to monitor and block malicious activity and protect its clients’ information.
Pursuant to Vernon Municipal Code (VMC) §2.17.12(A)(5), this type of purchase is exempt from competitive bidding through piggybacking, stating that competitive bidding shall not be required for contracts with other public agencies, associations or when supplies, equipment or services can be purchased from a vendor offering the same prices, terms and conditions as in a previous award from the City or another public agency either by competitive bid or through a negotiated process. It is in the opinion of the Finance Director that it is to the advantage of the City to proceed with the proposed purchase in this manner. As such, the purchase is also exempt from the competitive selection pursuant to VMC §2.17.12(B)(1).
The City of Vernon is a member of a Joint Powers Authority known as Sourcewell, formerly known as NJPA. Sourcewell’s analysts streamline the procurement process by developing requests for proposals that meet or exceed the purchasing requirements set forth by numerous local agencies, including the City of Vernon. Sourcewell holds hundreds of competitively solicited cooperative contracts ready for use. In particular, Sourcewell Contract 110515-IT (Contract) gives access and special pricing for 10% discount on license fees. However, Tyler has offered to honor the current license fees paid by the City which results in a greater discount. It should also be noted that the three-year maximum agreement per the City's municipal code may be considered commercially unreasonable, since implementation and deployment will span up to three years. Therefore, an amendment to this Agreement would be presented to the Council at the end of its three-year term.
The proposed agreement has been reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attorney’s Office.
Fiscal Impact:
Total project cost as noted below will span several fiscal years and will be built into each fiscal year budget without the use of reserves.
The total cost of this implementation is estimated not-to-exceed $3,439,726. This sum incorporates $373,203 in recurring annual fees, $1,934,820 in one-time implementation fees, $819,000 reserved for three years of project management consulting to aid in the implementation, and $312,703 as a contingency reserve. City staff will return to City Council for approval of a project management consulting agreement prior to formal kickoff of the project.
The 2020/2021 Information Technology department approved budget includes $900,000 for EnerGov.
Additionally, Vernon was awarded $160,000 by the State of California to help with the cost of a new permit system. There are sufficient funds available to cover the remaining $2,379,726 in capital requirements necessary to complete this upgrade.

We will bill you 6 the actual fees incurred based on the in-scope services provided to you. Any discrepancies in the total values set forth in the Investment Summary will be resolved by multiplying the applicable hourly rate by the quoted hours.
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 additional work is required, or if you use or request additional services, we will provide you with an addendum or change order, as applicable, outlining the costs for the additional work. The price quotes in the addendum or change order will be valid for thirty (30) days from the date of the quote.
4. Cancellation. If travel is required, we will make all reasonable efforts to schedule travel for our personnel, including arranging travel reservations, at least two (2) weeks in advance of commitments. Therefore, if you cancel services less than two (2) weeks in advance (other than for Force Majeure or breach by us), you will be liable for all (a) non-refundable expenses incurred by us on your behalf, and (b) daily fees associated with cancelled professional services if we are unable to reassign our personnel. We will make all reasonable efforts to reassign personnel in the event you cancel within two (2) weeks of scheduled commitments.
5. Services Warranty. We will perform the services in a professional, workmanlike manner, consistent with industry standards. 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 full and free access to your personnel, facilities, and equipment as may be reasonably necessary for us to provide implementation services, subject to any reasonable security protocols, City Hall operating hours and/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.
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 the Tyler Software set forth in Exhibit A Schedules 1 and 2, 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 7 any applicable release life cycle policy);
9.2 provide telephone 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 major and minor 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 thirdparty 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. 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 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.
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 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.
SECTION D – THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS
1. Third Party Hardware. We will sell, deliver, and install onsite the Third Party Hardware, if you have purchased any, for the price set forth in the Investment Summary. Those amounts are payable in accordance with our Invoicing and Payment Policy.
8 2. Third Party Software. As part of the SaaS Services, you will receive access to the Third Party Software and related documentation for internal business purposes only. Your rights to the Third Party Software will be governed by the Third Party Terms.
3. Third Party Products Warranties.

3.2 The Third Party Hardware will be new and unused, and upon payment in full, you will receive free and clear title to the Third Party Hardware.
3.3 You acknowledge that we are not the manufacturer of the Third Party Products. We do not warrant or guarantee the performance of the Third Party Products. However, we grant and pass through to you any warranty that we may receive from the Developer or supplier of the Third Party Products.
4. Third Party Services. If you have purchased Third Party Services, those services will be provided independent of Tyler by such third-party at the rates set forth in the Investment Summary and in accordance with our Invoicing and Payment Policy.
SECTION E - INVOICING AND PAYMENT; INVOICE DISPUTES
1. Invoicing and Payment. We will invoice you the SaaS Fees and fees for other professional services in the Investment Summary per our Invoicing and Payment Policy, subject to Section E(2).
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 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 to complete the items agreed to be done by you, then you will remit full payment of the invoice. 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 F – TERM AND TERMINATION
1. Term. The initial term of this Agreement is three (3) years from the first day of the first month following the Effective Date, unless earlier terminated as set forth below.

If you should not appropriate or otherwise make available funds sufficient to utilize the SaaS Services, you may unilaterally terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days written notice to us. You will not be entitled to a refund or offset of previously paid, but unused SaaS Fees. You agree not to use termination for lack of appropriations as a substitute for termination for convenience.
2.5 Fees for Termination without Cause during Initial Term. If you terminate this Agreement during the initial term for any reason other than cause, Force Majeure, or lack of appropriations, or if we terminate this Agreement during the initial term for your failure to pay SaaS Fees, you shall pay us the following early termination fees:
a. if you terminate during the first year of the initial term, 100% of the SaaS Fees through the date of termination plus 15% of the SaaS Fees then due for the remainder of the initial term;

You must notify us promptly in writing of the claim and give us sole control over its defense or settlement. You agree to provide us with reasonable assistance, cooperation, and information in defending the claim at our expense.
1.2 Our obligations under this Section G(1) will not apply to the extent the claim or adverse final judgment is based on your use of the Tyler Software in contradiction of this Agreement, including with non-licensed third parties, or your willful infringement.
1.3 If we receive information concerning an infringement or misappropriation claim related to the Tyler Software, we may, at our expense and without obligation to do so, either: (a) procure for you the right to continue its use; (b) modify it to make it non-infringing; or (c) replace it with a functional equivalent, in which case you will stop running the allegedly infringing Tyler Software immediately. Alternatively, we may decide to litigate the claim to judgment, in which case you may continue to use the Tyler Software consistent with the terms of this Agreement.
1.4 If an infringement or misappropriation claim is fully litigated and your use of the Tyler Software is enjoined by a court of competent jurisdiction, in addition to paying any adverse final judgment (or settlement to which we consent), we will, at our option, either: (a) procure the right to continue its use; (b) modify it to make it non-infringing; or (c) replace it with a functional equivalent. This section provides your exclusive remedy for third party copyright, patent, or trademark infringement and trade secret misappropriation claims.

You agree to provide us with reasonable assistance, cooperation, and information in defending the claim at our expense.
2.2 To the extent permitted by applicable law, you will indemnify and hold harmless us and our agents, officials, and employees from and against any and all third-party claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees and costs) for personal injury or property damage to the extent caused by your negligence or willful misconduct; or (b) your violation of a law applicable to your performance under this Agreement.

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.
3. Dispute Resolution. You agree to provide us with written notice within thirty (30) days of becoming aware of a dispute under this Agreement. You agree to cooperate with us in trying to reasonably resolve all disputes, including, if requested by either party, appointing a senior representative to meet and engage in good faith negotiations with our appointed senior representative. Senior representatives will convene within thirty (30) days of the written dispute notice, unless otherwise agreed. All meetings and discussions between senior representatives will be deemed confidential settlement discussions not subject to disclosure under Federal Rule of Evidence 408 or any similar applicable state rule. If we fail to resolve the dispute, then the parties shall participate in non- 12 binding mediation in an effort to resolve the dispute, with each party bearing their own costs. If the dispute remains unresolved after mediation, then either of us may assert our respective rights and remedies in a court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this section shall prevent you or us from seeking necessary injunctive relief during the dispute resolution procedures.
4. Taxes. The fees in the Investment Summary do not include any taxes, including, without limitation, sales, use, or excise tax. If you are a tax-exempt entity, you agree to provide us with a tax-exempt certificate. Otherwise, we will pay all applicable taxes to the proper authorities and you will reimburse us for such taxes. If you have a valid direct-pay permit, you agree to provide us with a copy. For clarity, we are responsible for paying our income taxes, both federal and state, as applicable, arising from our performance of this Agreement.
5. Nondiscrimination. We will not discriminate against any person employed or applying for employment concerning the performance of our responsibilities under this Agreement. This discrimination prohibition will apply to all matters of initial employment, tenure, and terms of employment, or otherwise with respect to any matter directly or indirectly relating to employment concerning race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex, sexual orientation, ancestry, disability that is unrelated to the individual's ability to perform the duties of a particular job or position, height, weight, marital status, or political affiliation. We will post, where appropriate, all notices related to nondiscrimination as may be required by applicable law.
6. E-Verify. We have complied, and will comply, with the E-Verify procedures administered by the U.S.
Citizenship and Immigration Services Verification Division for all of our employees assigned to your project.
7. Subcontractors. We will not subcontract any services under this Agreement without your prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld.
8. Binding Effect; No Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding on, and shall be for the benefit of, either your or our successor(s) or permitted assign(s). Neither party may assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party; provided, however, your consent is not required for an assignment by us as a result of a corporate reorganization, merger, acquisition, or purchase of substantially all of our assets.
9. Force Majeure. Except for your payment obligations, neither party will be liable for delays in performing its obligations under this Agreement to the extent that the delay is caused by Force Majeure; provided, however, that within ten (10) business days of the Force Majeure event, the party whose performance is delayed provides the other party with written notice explaining the cause and extent thereof, as well as a request for a reasonable time extension equal to the estimated duration of the Force Majeure event.
10. No Intended Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is entered into solely for the benefit of you and us. No third party will be deemed a beneficiary of this Agreement, and no third party will have the right to make any claim or assert any right under this Agreement. This provision does not affect the rights of third parties under any Third Party Terms.
11. Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement represents the entire agreement between you and us with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes any prior agreements, understandings, 13 and representations, whether written, oral, expressed, implied, or statutory. Purchase orders submitted by you, if any, are for your internal administrative purposes only, and the terms and conditions contained in those purchase orders will have no force or effect. This Agreement may only be modified by a written amendment signed by an authorized representative of each party.
12. Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will be considered valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
13. No Waiver. In the event that the terms and conditions of this Agreement are not strictly enforced by either party, such non-enforcement will not act as or be deemed to act as a waiver or modification of this Agreement, nor will such non-enforcement prevent such party from enforcing each and every term of this Agreement thereafter.
14. Independent Contractor. We are an independent contractor for all purposes under this Agreement.
15. Notices. All notices or communications required or permitted as a part of this Agreement, such as notice of an alleged material breach for a termination for cause or a dispute that must be submitted to dispute resolution, must be in writing and will be deemed delivered upon the earlier of the following: (a) actual receipt by the receiving party; (b) upon receipt by sender of a certified mail, return receipt signed by an employee or agent of the receiving party; (c) upon receipt by sender of proof of email delivery; or (d) if not actually received, five (5) days after deposit with the United States Postal Service authorized mail center with proper postage (certified mail, return receipt requested) affixed and addressed to the other party at the address set forth on the signature page hereto or such other address as the party may have designated by proper notice. The consequences for the failure to receive a notice due to improper notification by the intended receiving party of a change in address will be borne by the intended receiving party.
16. Client Lists. You agree that we may identify you by name in client lists, marketing presentations, and promotional materials.
17. Confidentiality. Both parties recognize that their respective employees and agents, in the course of performance of this Agreement, may be exposed to confidential information and that disclosure of such information could violate rights to private individuals and entities, including the parties.
Confidential information is nonpublic information that a reasonable person would believe to be confidential and includes, without limitation, personal identifying information (e.g., social security numbers) and trade secrets, each as defined by applicable state law. Each party agrees that it will not disclose any confidential information of the other party and further agrees to take all reasonable and appropriate action to prevent such disclosure by its employees or agents. The confidentiality covenants contained herein will survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement. This obligation of confidentiality will not apply to information that:
(a) is in the public domain, either at the time of disclosure or afterwards, except by breach of this Agreement by a party or its employees or agents;
(b) a party can establish by reasonable proof was in that party's possession at the time of initial disclosure;
(c) a party receives from a third party who has a right to disclose it to the receiving party; or (d) is the subject of a legitimate disclosure request under the open records laws or similar 14 applicable public disclosure laws governing this Agreement; provided, however, that in the event you receive an open records or other similar applicable request, you will give us prompt notice and otherwise perform the functions required by applicable law.
18. Business License. In the event a local business license is required for us to perform services hereunder, you will promptly notify us and provide us with the necessary paperwork and/or contact information so that we may timely obtain such license.
19. Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of your state of domicile, without regard to its rules on conflicts of law.
20. Multiple Originals and Authorized Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in multiple originals, any of which will be independently treated as an original document.

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.
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.
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

The reimbursement rates for individual meals are calculated as a percentage of the full day per diem as follows:
Breakfast 15%
Lunch 25%
Dinner 60%
B. Same Day Travel
Employees traveling at least 100 miles to a site and returning in the same day are eligible to claim lunch on an expense report. Employees on same day travel status are eligible to claim dinner in the event they return home after 7:00 p.m.*
*7:00 p.m. is defined as direct travel time and does not include time taken to stop for dinner.
Exhibit B
Schedule 1
4 5. Internet Access – Hotels and Airports
Employees who travel may need to access their e-mail at night. Many hotels provide free high speed internet access and Tyler employees are encouraged to use such hotels whenever possible. If an employee’s hotel charges for internet access it is reimbursable up to $10.00 per day. Charges for internet access at airports are not reimbursable.
6. International Travel
All international flights with the exception of flights between the U.S. and Canada should be reserved through TMC using the “lowest practical coach fare” with the exception of flights that are six (6) or more consecutive hours in length. In such event, the next available seating class above coach shall be reimbursed.
When required to travel internationally for business, employees shall be reimbursed for photo fees, application fees, and execution fees when obtaining a new passport book, but fees related to passport renewals are not reimbursable. Visa application and legal fees, entry taxes and departure taxes are reimbursable.
The cost of vaccinations that are either required for travel to specific countries or suggested by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services for travel to specific countries, is reimbursable.
Section 4, Meals & Incidental Expenses, and Section 2.b., Rental Car, shall apply to this section.
Exhibit C
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 othersupport 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.
Attainment: The percentage of time the Tyler Software is available during a calendar quarter, with percentages rounded to the nearest whole number.
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 which the Tyler Software is not available for your use. Downtime does not include those instances in which only a Defect is present.
Service Availability: The total number of minutes in a calendar quarter that the Tyler Software is capable of receiving, processing, and responding to requests, excluding maintenance windows, Client Error Incidents and Force Majeure.
III. Service Availability
The Service Availability of the Tyler Software is intended to be 24/7/365. We set Service Availability goals and measures whether we have met those goals by tracking Attainment. 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 incident number.
You must document, in writing, all Downtime that you have experienced during a calendar quarter. You must deliver such documentation to us within 30 days of a quarter’s end.
The documentation you provide must evidence the Downtime clearly and convincingly. It must include, for example, the support incident number(s) and the date, time and duration of the Downtime(s). b. Our Responsibilities
When oursupport 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 a Client Error Incident or Force Majeure). We will also work with you to resume normal operations.
Exhibit C
2 Upon timely receipt of your Downtime report, we will compare that report to our own outage logs and support tickets to confirm that Downtime for which we were responsible indeed occurred.
We will respond to your Downtime report within 30 day(s) of receipt. To the extent we have confirmed Downtime for which we are responsible, we will provide you with the relief set forth below. c. Client Relief
When a Service Availability goal is not met due to confirmed Downtime, we will provide you with relief that corresponds to the percentage amount by which that goal was not achieved, as set forth in the Client Relief Schedule below.
Notwithstanding the above, the total amount of all relief that would be due under this SLA per quarter will not exceed 5% of one quarter of the then-current SaaS Fee. The total credits confirmed by us in one or more quarters of a billing cycle will be applied to the SaaS Fee for the next billing cycle. Issuing of such credit does not relieve us of our obligations under the Agreement to correct the problem which created the service interruption.
Every quarter, we will compare confirmed Downtime to Service Availability. In the event actual Attainment does not meet the targeted Attainment, the following Client relief will apply, on a quarterly basis:
Targeted Attainment Actual Attainment Client Relief
100% 98-99% Remedial action will be taken.
100% 95-97% 4% credit of fee for affected calendar quarter will be posted to next billing cycle
100% <95% 5% credit of fee for affected calendar quarter will be posted to next billing cycle
You may request a report from usthat documents the preceding quarter’s Service Availability, Downtime, any remedial actions that have been/will be taken, and any credits that may be issued.
IV. Applicability
The commitments set forth in this SLA do not apply during maintenance windows, Client Error Incidents, and Force Majeure.
We perform 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.
V. Force Majeure
You will not hold usresponsible for not meeting service levels outlined in this SLA to the extent any failure to do so is caused by Force Majeure. In the event of Force Majeure, we will file with you a signed request that said failure be excused. That writing will at least include the essential details and circumstances supporting our request for relief pursuant to this Section. You will not unreasonably withhold its acceptance of such a request.

2 Issue Handling
Incident Tracking
Every support incident is logged into Tyler’s Customer Relationship Management System and given a unique incident number. This system tracks the history of each incident. The incident tracking number is used to track and reference open issues when clients contact support. Clients may track incidents, using the incident number, through the portal at Tyler’s website or by calling software support directly.
Incident Priority
Each incident is assigned a priority number, which corresponds to the client’s needs and deadlines. The client is responsible for reasonably setting 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 responses and resolutions.
Priority
Level Characteristics of Support Incident Resolution Targets 1 Critical
Support incident that causes (a)
complete application failure or
application unavailability; (b)
application failure or unavailability in
one or more of the client’s remote
location; or (c) systemic loss of multiple
essential system functions.
Tyler shall provide an initial response to Priority Level 1 incidents within one (1) business hour of receipt of the support incident. Tyler shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to resolve such support incidents or provide a circumvention procedure within one (1)
business day. For non-hosted customers, Tyler’s
responsibility for lost or corrupted Data is limited to assisting the client in restoring its last available database. 2 High
Support incident that causes (a)
repeated, consistent failure of essential
functionality affecting more than one
user or (b) loss or corruption of Data.
Tyler shall provide an initial response to Priority Level 2 incidents within four (4) business hours of receipt of the support incident. Tyler shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to resolve such support incidents or provide a circumvention procedure within ten (10)
business days. For non-hosted customers, Tyler’s
responsibility for loss or corrupted Data is limited to assisting the client in restoring its last available database. 3 Medium
Priority Level 1 incident with an existing
circumvention procedure, or a Priority
Level 2 incident that affects only one
user or for which there is an existing
circumvention procedure.
Tyler shall provide an initial response to Priority Level 3 incidents within one (1) business day of receipt of the support incident. Tyler shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to resolve such support incidents
without the need for a circumvention procedure with the next published maintenance update or service pack. For
non-hosted customers, Tyler’s responsibility for lost or corrupted Data is limited to assisting the client in
restoring its last available database.
Exhibit C
Schedule 1
3 Priority
Level Characteristics of Support Incident Resolution Targets 4 Noncritical
Support incident that causes failure of
non-essential functionality or a
cosmetic or other issue that does not
qualify as any other Priority Level.
Tyler shall provide an initial response to Priority Level 4 incidents within two (2) business days. Tyler shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such support incidents, as well as cosmetic issues, with a future
version release.
Incident Escalation
Tyler Technology’s software support consists of four levels of personnel:
(1) Level 1: front-line representatives
(2) Level 2: more senior in their support role, they assist front-line representatives and take on escalated issues
(3) Level 3: assist in incident escalations and specialized client issues (4) Level 4: responsible for the management of support teams for either a single product or a product group
If a client feels they are not receiving the service needed, they may contact the appropriate Software Support Manager. After receiving the incident tracking number, the manager will follow up on the open issue and determine the necessary action to meet the client’s needs.
On occasion, the priority or immediacy of a software support incident may change after initiation. Tyler encourages clients to communicate the level of urgency or priority of software support issues so that we can respond appropriately. A software support incident can be escalated by any of the following methods:
(1) Telephone – for immediate response, call toll-free to either escalate an incident’s priority or to escalate an issue through management channels as described above. (2) Email – clients can send an email to software support in order to escalate the priority of an issue (3) On-line Support Incident Portal – clients can also escalate the priority of an issue by logging into the client incident portal and referencing the appropriate incident tracking number.
Remote Support Tool
Some support calls require further analysis of the client’s database, process or setup to diagnose a problem or to assist with a question. Tyler will, at its discretion, use an industry-standard remote support tool. Support is able to quickly connect to the client’s desktop and view the site’s setup, diagnose problems, or assist with screen navigation. More information about the remote support tool Tyler uses is available upon request.

1.4 Project Methodology Overview
Tyler bases its implementation methodology on the Project Management Institute’s (PMI) Process Groups (Initiating, Planning, Executing, Monitoring & Controlling, and Closing). Using this model, Tyler developed a 6-stage process specifically designed to focus on critical project success measurement factors.
Tailored specifically for Tyler’s public sector clients, the project methodology contains Stage Acceptance Control Points throughout each Phase to ensure adherence to Scope, budget, timeline controls, effective communications, and quality standards. Clearly defined, the project methodology repeats consistently across Phases, and is scaled to meet the City’s complexity, and organizational needs.
Exhibit E

2 Project Governance
The purpose of this section is to define the resources required to adequately establish 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 also defines the structure for issue escalation and resolution, Change Control review and authority, and organizational Change Management activities.
The preliminary governance structure establishes a clear escalation path when issues and risks require escalation above the project manager level. Further refinement of the governance structure, related processes, and specific roles and responsibilities occurs during the Initiate & Plan Stage.
The path below illustrates an overall team perspective where Tyler and the City collaborate to resolve project challenges according to defined escalation paths. In the event project managers do not possess authority to determine a solution, resolve an issue, or mitigate a risk, Tyler implementation management and the City steering committee become the escalation points to triage responses prior to escalation to the City and Tyler executive sponsors. As part of the escalation process, each project governance tier presents recommendations and supporting information to facilitate knowledge transfer and issue resolution. The City and Tyler executive sponsors serve as the final escalation point.
2.1 Client Governance
Depending on the City’s organizational structure and size, the following governance roles may be filled by one or more people:
2.1.1 Client Project Manager
The City’s project manager(s) coordinate project team members, subject matter experts, and the overall implementation schedule and serves as the primary point of contact with Tyler. The City project manager(s) will be responsible for reporting to the City steering committee and determining appropriate escalation points.
2.1.2 Steering Committee
The City steering committee understands and supports the cultural change necessary for the Project and fosters an appreciation of the Project’s value throughout the organization. Oversees the City project manager(s) and the Project and through participation in regular internal meetings, the City steering committee remains updated on all project progress, project decisions, and achievement of project milestones. The City steering committee also provides support to the City project manager(s) by communicating the importance of the Project to all impacted departments. The City steering committee is responsible for ensuring the Project has appropriate resources, provides strategic direction to the project team, for making timely decisions on critical project issues or policy decisions. The City steering committee also serves as primary level of issue resolution for the Project.
Exhibit E
10 / 66
2.1.3 Executive Sponsor(s)
The City’s executive sponsor provides support to the Project by allocating resources, providing strategic direction, and communicating key issues about the Project and the Project’s overall importance to the organization. When called upon, the executive sponsor also acts as the final authority on all escalated project issues. The executive sponsor engages in the Project, as needed, in order to provide necessary support, oversight, guidance, and escalation, but does not participate in day-to-day project activities. The executive sponsor empowers the City steering committee, project manager(s), and functional leads to make critical business decisions for the City.
2.2 Tyler Governance
2.2.1 Tyler Project Manager
The Tyler project manager(s) have direct involvement with the Project and coordinates Tyler project team members, subject matter experts, the overall implementation schedule, and serves as the primary point of contact with the City. As requested by the City, the Tyler project manager(s) provide regular updates to the City’s steering committee and other Tyler governance members.
2.2.2 Tyler Implementation Management
Tyler implementation management has indirect involvement with the Project and is part of the Tyler escalation process. Tyler project manager(s) consult implementation management on issues and outstanding decisions critical to the Project. Implementation management works toward a solution with the Tyler project manager(s) or with the City management, as appropriate. Tyler executive management is the escalation point for any issues not resolved at this level. The name(s) and contact information for this resource will be provided and available to the project team.
2.2.3 Tyler Executive Management
Tyler executive management has indirect involvement with the Project and is part of the Tyler escalation process. This team member offers additional support to the project team and collaborates with other Tyler department managers, as needed, in order to escalate and facilitate implementation project tasks and decisions. The name(s) and contact information for this resource will be provided and available to the project team.
2.3 Acceptance and Acknowledgment Process
All Deliverables and Control Points must be accepted or acknowledged following the process below.
Acceptance requires a formal sign-off while acknowledgement may be provided without formal sign-off at the time of delivery. The following process will be used for accepting or acknowledging Deliverables and Control Points:
• The City shall have five (5) business days from the date of delivery, or as otherwise mutually agreed upon by the parties in writing, to accept or acknowledge each Deliverable or Control Point. If the City does not provide acceptance or acknowledgement within five (5) business days, Exhibit E
11 / 66
or the otherwise agreed upon timeframe, not to be unreasonably withheld, Tyler deems the Deliverable or Control Point as accepted.
• If the City does not agree the particular Deliverable or Control Point meets requirements, the City 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 redeliver the Deliverable or Control Point. The City shall then have two (2) business days from receipt of the redelivered Deliverable or Control Point to accept or again submit written notification of reasons for rejecting the milestone. If the City does not provide acceptance or acknowledgement within two (2) business days, or the otherwise agreed upon timeframe, not to be unreasonably withheld, Tyler deems the Deliverable or Control Point as accepted.

3 Overall Project Assumptions
3.1 Project, Resources and Scheduling
• Project activities will begin after the Agreement has been fully executed. • The City has the ability to allocate additional internal resources if needed. The City also ensures the alignment of their budget and Scope expectations.
• The City and Tyler ensure that the assigned resources are available, they buy-into the change process, and they 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, buy-in, and knowledge. • Tyler and City provide adequate resources to support the efforts to complete the Project as scheduled and within the constraints of the Project budget. • Abbreviated timelines and overlapped Phases can result in Project delays if there are not sufficient resources assigned to complete all required work as scheduled. • Changes to Project Plan, availability of resources or changes in Scope may result in schedule delays, which may result in additional charges to the Project. • Tyler provides a written agenda and notice of any prerequisites to the City project manager(s) ten (10) business days prior to any scheduled on site or remote sessions. • Tyler provides notice of any prerequisites to the City project manager(s) a minimum of ten (10) business days prior to any key deliverable due dates.
• City users complete prerequisites prior to applicable scheduled activities. • Tyler provides guidance for configuration and processing options available within the Tyler software. The City is responsible for making decisions based on the options available. • In the event the City may elect to add and/or modify current business policies during the course of this Project, such policy changes are solely the City’s responsibility to define, document, and implement.
• The City makes timely Project related decisions in order to achieve scheduled due dates on tasks and prepare for subsequent training sessions. Decisions left unmade may affect the schedule, as each analysis and implementation session builds on the decisions made in prior sessions. • Tyler considers additional services out of Scope and requires additional time and costs be requested via Change Request approved through the Change Control process.
Exhibit E
13 / 66
• The City will respond to information requests in a comprehensive and timely manner, in accordance with the Project Plan.
3.2 Data Conversion
• The City is responsible for uploading their Eden database to Kiteworks and maintaining crosswalks of old to new codes. Validation logs will be provided with each conversion pass. Tyler and the City will work together to resolve validation errors.
• Multiple data passes will occur and it is the City’s responsibility to review and verify the accuracy of each data conversion. Tyler will provide guidance and documentation on how to review data conversions.
• In some situations utilizing Munis imports is a more efficient process than conversions. Tyler’s implementation staff will discuss the pros/cons of each import and conversion during the Assess & Define Stage of each Phase.
3.3 Data Exchanges, Modifications, Forms and Reports
• The City ensures the 3rd party data received conforms to a Tyler standard format. • The 3rd party possesses the knowledge of how to program their portion of the interaction and understands how to manipulate the data received.
• Client is on a supported, compatible version of the 3rd party software or Tyler standard Data Exchange tools may not be available.
• The City is willing to make reasonable business process changes rather than expecting the product to conform to every aspect of their current system/process. • Any Modification requests not expressly stated in the contract are out of Scope. Modifications requested after contract signing have the potential to change cost, Scope, schedule, and production dates for project Phases. Modification requests not in Scope must follow the Project Change Request process.
3.4 Hardware and Software
• Tyler will initially Install the most current generally available version of the purchased Tyler software.
• The City will provide network access for Tyler modules, printers, and Internet access to all applicable City and Tyler project staff.
• The City has in place all hardware, software, and technical infrastructure necessary to support the Project.
Exhibit E
14 / 66
• The City’s system hardware and software meet Tyler standards to ensure sufficient speed and operability of Tyler software. Tyler will not support use of software if the City does not meet minimum standards of Tyler’s published specifications.
3.5 Education
Throughout the Project lifecycle, the City provides a training room for Tyler staff to transfer knowledge to the City’s resources, for both onsite and remote sessions. The City will provide staff with a location to practice what they have learned without distraction. If Phases overlap, the City will provide multiple training facilities to allow for independent sessions scheduling without conflict.
The training room is set up in a classroom setting. The City determines the number of workstations in the room. Tyler recommends every person attending a scheduled session with a Tyler Consultant or Trainer have their own workstation. However, Tyler requires there be no more than two (2) people at a given workstation.
The City provides a workstation which connects to the Tyler system for the Tyler trainer conducting the session. The computer connects to a City provided projector, allowing all attendees the ability to actively engage in the training session. The City testing database contains the Tyler software version required for delivery of the Modification prior to the scheduled delivery date for testing. The City is responsible for verifying the performance of the Modification as defined by the specification.
Users performing user acceptance testing (UAT) have attended all applicable training sessions prior to performing UAT.

4 Implementation Stages
4.1 Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is a hierarchical representation of a Project or Phase broken down into smaller, more manageable components. The top-level components are called “Stages” and the second level components are called “work packages.” The work packages, shown below each Stage, contain the high-level work to be done. The detailed Project Plan, developed during Initiate & Plan and finalized during Assess & Define, will list the tasks to be completed within each work package. Each Stage ends with a “Control Point”, confirming the work performed during that Stage of the Project.

Exhibit E
17 / 66
4.2 Initiate & Plan (Stage 1)
The Initiate & Plan Stage creates a foundation for the Project through identification of City and Tyler Project Management teams, development of implementation management plans, and the provision and discussion of system infrastructure requirements. City participation in gathering information is critical.
Tyler Project Management teams present initial plans to stakeholder teams at Stage end.
4.2.1 Tyler Internal Coordination & Planning
Prior to Project commencement, Tyler management staff assigns project manager(s). Tyler provides the City with initial Project documents used in gathering basic information, which aids in preliminary planning and scheduling. City participation in gathering requested information by provided deadlines ensures the Project moves forward in a timely fashion. Internally, the Tyler project manager(s) coordinate with sales to ensure transfer of vital information from the sales process prior to scheduling a Project Planning Meeting with the City’s team. During this step, Tyler will work with the City to establish the date(s) for the Project/Phase Planning session.

Modifications
Modification: Time of use electric billing.
• Delivery / Availability Date: July 2022 (Version 2022.2) • Cost: $60,000.00
• Description: The City of Vernon has requested a modification to the MUNIS Utility Billing system to enable Time of Use electric billing using one single Service/Rate on the Account. MUNIS UB will be enhanced to allow for multiple Rate Tables to be defined for a single Rate Master. Using a new “TOU code” field on the Rate Table screen each Rate Table will be assigned to a Time of Use period. The TOU Codes will be new Miscellaneous codes (user definable) and will be used to distinguish one TOU period from another; examples, “On-Peak” and “Off-Peak”. With these codes the total On-Peak KWH usage (or KW read) and total Off-Peak KWH usage (or KW read) can be collected/passed separately (per meter) from the meter reading system and be billed at their corresponding rates. MUNIS UB will not store interval readings or calculate the total KWH usage per TOU period, but instead will expect the total KWH (or KW) per TOU period per billing period to be passed from the meter reading solution. In this case it will be Itron MVRS-90, for which a new meter reading import file format will be created. Consumption units from each channel on the meter will be stored in consumption history and printed on the bill statement, along with the reading time, charge amount, and TOU code.
Modification: City of Vernon KVAR billing calculation.
• Delivery / Availability Date: July 2022 (Version 2022.2) • Cost: $10,000.00
• Description: Additionally there will be a modification to match the City of Vernon KVAR billing calculation. A new KVAR charge calculation that 1) divides KWH by KW to determine hours, 2)divides KVAR by hours to establish a KVAR max, and 3) bills the difference between the KVAR max and 20% of peak KW against a rate. The modification will match the provided calculation.

Annual Support and Hosting Statement of Work
In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Support tatement of Work and the Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Support Statement of Work shall prevail. This Support Statement of Work and the Agreement represents the complete agreement regarding the subject matter and replaces any oral or written communications between the Client and Tyler.
I. Overview
As more particularly described in the Agreement, the DHD System Maintenance includes a nontransferrable, limited, nonexclusive limited right to use the SaaS Services for named Client staff. This includes:
• The use of the Client Production System in the offices, • The use of the offline version of the System (“Field Client”), • Software support, i.e. correction of System-generated errors and identified bugs in the approved and implemented System functionality, and work stoppage issues created by these errors, • Hosting of Client data and complete System application, • Technical support to Client staff handled through Client and Tyler Maintenance Support team for modules on the current production System.
• Software Support
A. Software Version Releases
1. Although there are no formal software version releases, the DHD system is periodically updated to include system-wide improvements and features. As these updates are completed, they are implemented to the live system at no additional charge to the Client.
2. Tyler will notify the Client of any software modifications and revisions. The notification shall include, but may not be limited to, a statement describing the effect of including the software change on the system, application programs, data files, workstation functions and services, and personnel training recommendations.
B. Client Issue Tracker
The System includes the Client Issue Tracker module. The Client System Administrators (CSAs) are able to enter issues, open tickets, and enter requests. CSAs can also monitor the progress of the ticket as it moves through the system and are alerted when the issue is resolved. Each issue is assigned a priority level and a status, so pending issues can be addressed in order from highest priority to lowest as defined by Client and specified to Tyler staff.
Exhibit G
2 C. Bug/Error/Break Fixes
1. Bugs, errors, and breaks are defects in the product, that is, a deviation between the functionality of the product and its actual performance. A bug fix is required to change the code to repair the bug. Bug fixes could be associated with a single line of code or large portions of code thus requiring more development time.
2. Critical Bugs are defined as problems that create a Client work stoppage, problems that affect the Client’s ability to use the System as it was designed, problems that prevent the Client from doing business, or problems that prevent the Client from submitting data to the System.
a) If the Client reports an issue as a Critical Bug, Tyler staff will review and verify the status. If the issue does not qualify as a Critical Bug as defined above, Tyler staff will update the issue status, assign it to a Work Order, and notify Client.
3. Escalated Issues are defined as those issues that do not meet the qualifications of a Critical System Bug but still need to be addressed and corrected as soon as possible, e.g. before all other issues in Issue Tracker except Critical Bugs. Only Tyler staff is able to Escalate Issues.
The types of issues that can be elevated to an Escalated Issues status are:
a) Time-sensitive or urgent report requests that have a hard date and/or time deadline, such as media requests or legislative reports, b) Time-sensitive or urgent change requests that have a hard date and/or time deadline, such as state-mandated changes regarding permit renewals, licensing, or billing.
Additional charges may apply to escalated change requests that fall outside the original Scope of Work.
4. Critical Bugs and Escalated Issues receive top priority in the maintenance schedule. When Critical Bugs and Escalated Issues are reported, they are verified by Tyler, acknowledged, and typically resolved within twenty-four (24) hours. If a Critical Bug will take longer than twentyfour (24) hours to correct, the Client will be notified of the proposed correction within twentyfour (24) hours. If there are more than three (3) Escalated Issues in the Client System at one time, a Work Order will be created containing only the Escalated Issues, and will be moved into the development schedule as soon as possible. The estimated turnaround for Escalated Issues is seven (7) business days.
5. A Work Order is defined as a list of issues, grouped by issue priority and system module, created by Tyler staff and approved by the Client. Work Orders may contain up to twenty (20) issues and must be approved by Client signature before added to the maintenance schedule.
Once a Work Order is complete, the Client will have 30 calendar days to review, test, and accept the Work Order by Client signature, or reject the changes in writing, with detailed documentation of the reasons for rejection. Once the Client accepts the Work Order, the changes will be pushed to the Client Production System within two (2) business days. All items within a Work Order will be pushed to production at one time, not piecemeal. The estimated turnaround time for Work Orders is sixty (60) to ninety (90) business days.
Exhibit G
3 a) Once a Work Order is pushed to the production system and verified by Client, the Client will sign a completion form, indicating acceptance of all the issues within the Work Order. No additional Work Orders will be moved into development until the completion form is signed.
D. State-Mandated Changes
1. During the course of this contract, the federal, state, or county laws, ordinances, policies, or procedures may be changed or updated, and require the addition of fields to system screens and/or format changes to printable forms, or a change in the format in which the data is collected or output on a standard form directly relating to a module included in the Client Production System. Tyler will accommodate up to one (1) form change and ten (10) field changes per module annually. Further changes will be quoted on a case-by-case basis at the standard rate of $200 per hour.
2. In the event that major functionality or report changes are required as the result as a law or ordinance change, the upgrade may require additional funding and will be quoted on a case-by-case basis at the standard rate of $200 per hour.
E. System Enhancements
1. System Enhancements are defined as change requests and feature requests, which affect System appearance and/or functionality not included in the existing System functionality or that fall outside the system Scope of Work and/or approved system documentation.
2. The Tyler Project Team on a case-by-case basis evaluates change requests. Each change request will be reviewed against the original System scope of work and approved specifications, and will be quoted to the Client at the standard per-hour development rate.
3. Feature requests are evaluated by the Tyler Project Team on a case-by-case basis. Each request will be reviewed against the original scope of work and approved system specifications, and will be quoted to the Client at the standard per-hour development rate.
4. All changes and enhancements to the system will be quoted to the client on a case-bycase basis. No billable work will be performed until both parties sign a written agreement that includes scope of work, project timeline, and approved payment milestones.
5. Changes and features are first implemented and tested on Tyler’s Development server.
After the change is approved internally, it is pushed to the Testing server. This server is the Client’s testing environment, which is an exact replica of the production system. This testing environment is standard in the system, and there is no extra fee for this feature. Once the enhancements have been fully tested and approved by the Client, they are pushed to the production system where they are immediately available to all users. There is no downtime for any user, and no extra software installations are necessary.
6. Change and feature requests will be addressed in ninety (90) to one hundred and twenty (120) working days, depending on type of request, complexity, and current development schedule.
Exhibit G
4 F. Priorities
The Priority field helps define an issue’s importance to the Client and is used to determine delivery dates. The options are: Very High, High, Medium, Low, and Very Low.
1. The “Very High” status is reserved for Work Stoppage bugs only. The status of a Work Stoppage is strictly reserved for bugs that are preventing use of the system. Work Stoppage Bugs are corrected within 24 hours unless otherwise notified by the Tyler Maintenance Team.
2. In the event of a major issue that impacts production, procedures are in place to allow immediate attention to focus on that item whether it requires programming resources or other Tyler staff participation.
3. All escalation is handled through Tyler technical support. Depending on the type of issue, the system may escalate an item to one department or another (for example, Database Administration, Project Management, or Development). Any time an issue is escalated to senior technical staff the Client will receive an estimated correction time and a reason for the escalation to senior tech staff.
G. Project Procedures
Each deliverable document or Work Order will be approved in accordance with the following procedure:
1. One printed draft of the deliverable document is submitted to the Client Project Manager, with a deliverable acceptance document including an approval signature page. It is the Client Project Manager’s responsibility to make and distribute additional copies to the other reviewers.
2. Within five (5) business days the Client Project Manager will either approve the deliverable or provide the Tyler Project Team written documentation of the discrepancies.
3. The Tyler Project Manager will resubmit, in electronic form, the final version of the deliverable document to the Client Project Manager for approval. The Client Project Manager will provide final written approval within five (5) working days.
4. Reasonable delays in this approval process will be considered and allowed if agreed by the Tyler and the Client Project Manager.
H. Escalation Procedure
When a conflict arises between Client and Tyler, the project team member(s) will first strive to resolve the problem internally. The following procedure will be followed if resolution is required to a conflict arising during the performance of this SOW:
1. Level 1: If the project team cannot resolve the conflict within five (5) working days, the Client Project Manager and Tyler Project Manager will meet to resolve the issue.
Exhibit G
5 2. Level 2: If the conflict is not resolved within five (5) working days after being escalated to Level 1, the Client Project Sponsor will meet with the Tyler Project Executive and Project Manager to resolve the issue.
3. Level 3: If the conflict remains unresolved after Level 2 intervention, resolution will be addressed in accordance with the Project Change Control Procedures or termination of this SOW, the Hosting SOW, and contract under the terms of the Agreement.
4. During any conflict resolution, Tyler agrees to provide services relating to items not in dispute, to the extent practicable pending resolution of the conflict.
I. Rate for Additional Work
1. Changes to the system appearance and functionality will be quoted on a case-by-case basis at a rate of $200 per hour. This price covers all project management and development staff time. Travel and other expenses are not included in the per-hour price and may be quoted separately as necessary. No billable work or travel will be performed until both parties sign a written agreement that includes scope of work, project timeline, and approved payment milestones.
II. System Hosting
System Hosting includes hardware support and maintenance for all Tyler-controlled equipment involved in hosting the Client’s system, data and application storage, data and application backups, and disaster recovery.
A. Connectivity
The DHD system is accessed through an Internet browser and an Internet connection. No additional Client connectivity is required to access the full functionality of the production DHD system.
B. Data Storage
The data storage subsystem is configured with 9 terabytes of storage and can be expanded at any time if necessary for the term of the contract.
C. Backups
The System is 100% web-browser based and is hosted on servers that Tyler maintains. Tyler is responsible for backups, security administrations, and problem resolutions. Tyler will run nightly backups of all data. The following backups are performed:
1. Nightly differentials,
2. Weekly move backup,
3. Monthly backup rotation.
Exhibit G
6 D. Disaster Recovery
In the event that data recovery is necessary following a disaster that would render data in the primary database unrecoverable, Tyler would look first to the most recent incremental backup of data and attempt to restore. In the event that both the primary database and the incremental backup experienced a catastrophic failure, Tyler would restore from the nightly incremental backup. In the event that all three of these data sources were unavailable or had catastrophic failures, Tyler would retrieve the most recent daily or weekly backup from the long-term backup storage and restore. An exception to this process would be if data were available from another backup source maintained at the Client site – at that point, if the client felt their copy was the most up-to-date, Tyler would restore data from the copy the Client deemed appropriate.
E. Hardware Support
Hardware is defined as the processor(s), RAM, hard disk(s), motherboard, NIC card, and other related components included in the Tyler server assigned to the Client System. All hardware components directly relating to the Client System will function properly and any failed component will be replaced immediately at no additional Client cost. The replacement process will begin when the cause of the problem has been determined. Hardware replacement is guaranteed to take no more than four (4) hours.
F. Network Availability
Network uptime occurs when the functionality of all Tyler network infrastructure including cabling, switches, and routers, is operating as designed. Network downtime occurs if the Tyler servers are unable to transmit and/or receive data, and if the Client opens a service ticket for the incident in the System ticket-tracking module. Network downtime is measured from the time the Client ticket is opened to the time the issues is resolved and the Tyler network comes back online.
The Tyler network will be available 99.9% of the time, excluding scheduled maintenance or upgrades approved by both Client and Tyler.
G. Infrastructure Guarantee
Critical systems include all power and HVAC infrastructure, UPS equipment, and cabling. Power supplies of individual servers are not included (see below for Hardware Guarantee). Critical systems downtime occurs when a Tyler server assigned to Client System is shut down because of power or heat problems, and if the Client opens a service ticket for the incident in the Client System ticket tracking module. Critical system downtime is measured from the time the Client ticket is opened to the time the issue is resolved and the Tyler server comes back online. Tyler critical systems, including power and HVAC, are available 99.9% of the time, excluding scheduled maintenance periods.
H. Maintenance and escalation (scheduled and unscheduled)
1. Tyler will notify Client at least 48 hours in advance of any scheduled network downtime for System maintenance and service.
Exhibit G
7 2. In the event of an unscheduled outage, Tyler will immediately notify the Client contact, informing them of the outage and its estimated length. Should the outage last more than four hours Tyler will provide an update to Client every four hours as to the system status.
3. All updates and notifications will be delivered via email to the Client contact.
I. Remedies
1. Should a Tyler outage occur that results in Client system unavailability in excess of the guaranteed uptimes, Tyler will credit Client 5% of the monthly SaaS fee for every 5% of downtime with 95% as the first credit threshold. Credits will be applied toward future SaaS payments.
J. Exceptions
1. Delinquent customers may not take advantage of our uptime guarantee. Client must request all credits in writing within three (3) calendar days of the reported downtime, and the downtime must be from a single occurrence.
III. Customer Support
A. On-line Support: System includes online text based help down to the field level. Users can hover the mouse over a field and popup text help for that field will appear.
B. Telephone Support: Telephone support for Client System Administrators between the hours of 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM EST. There is a 24-hour emergency support line available for Client System Administrators, but not general staff. General staff issues should be first directed to the Client District System Administrator to determine that the issue does not pertain to Client policy.
If the issue is a legitimate system use issue and the Client District System Administrator is unable to assist the user, the Client District System Administrator may call the Support line to receive additional assistance from a Tyler staff member.
C. Virtual Support: Tyler technical staff can remote in to the application so that they can see the exact screen that an employee is on at any time. This allows them the ability to assist as if they were sitting next to the employee. The Client has to allow access to the system through the Client firewall.
D. User Manual: Electronic user manual documentation is configured to reflect the custom features of Client’s specific version on the application.
