TOPIC: AUTHORIZE A SOFTWARE SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH TYLER TECHNOLGIES,
INC. FOR AN ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING (ERP) SYSTEM
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO A SOFTWARE
SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH TYLER TECHNOLOGIES, INC. FOR A NEW
ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING (ERP) SYSTEM AND TO APPROPRIATE
AVAILABLE FUNDING TO SUPPORT YEAR 1 PROJECT COSTS THROUGH THE FY
2024-25 BUDGET PROCESS
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Since 2002, the City has used the Eden System from Tyler Technologies for financial and human
resources recordkeeping and reporting. The City’s financial and administrative needs have evolved;
therefore, the City assessed its business environment and processes to develop system requirements
as part of a request for proposals (RFP) for an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system to support the
City’s day-to-day business operations and compliance reporting. Also, as of March 1, 2027, Tyler
Technologies will no longer support the Eden system.
Tyler Technologies, Inc., proposing their MUNIS enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, was the
responsible offeror whose proposal is the most advantageous to the City. Staff recommends the City
Council authorize the City Manager to execute a Software (as a) Service Agreement with Tyler
Technologies for system licensing, data conversion, implementation, and annual system maintenance.
The total cost of the proposed contract includes $538,054 in one-time costs and $187,815 in annual
recurring costs, starting in FY 2024-25 through FY 2026-27. Thereafter, annual maintenance and support
costs would increase by 3% per year for two additional years (through FY 2028-29), with negotiated
annual increases thereafter (capped at 5% per year through year ten). Staff recommends that the City
Council authorize the allocation and appropriation of $725,869 from available General Fund and
Technology Fund resources via the FY 2024-25 budget process to cover year 1 implementation and
support costs. Additional funding support will also be requested through the FY 2024-25 budget process
to supplement staff resources anticipated to be needed to ensure successful project implementation.

RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into an agreement with Tyler Technologies,
Inc. for the design, implementation, and annual support of the Tyler/MUNIS ERP system for an initial
three (3) year term in a not-to-exceed amount of $1,101,499 and authorize the appropriation of available
funding to cover year 1 project costs for $725,869 from the General Fund and Technology Fund via the
FY 2024-25 budget process.
BACKGROUND:
On May 7, 2001, the City Council approved Resolution No. 10827 awarding a contract for financial
applications systems software and services, Project No. 019- 1430- 104- 8000, to Eden Systems, Inc.,
for $399,340 and allocated an additional $279,000 in funding out of the General Fund. The agreement
was for ten (10) years and granted the City Manager the authority to renew it annually.
ANALYSIS:
What is an ERP System?
An ERP is an integrated software system that helps organizations automate and manage core business
processes for optimal performance. An ERP solution is often the pillar financial information system used
to record and manage all financial records and minimize risk by improving financial controls and
compliance with local, state, and federal requirements, government accounting, and audit-related
standards. An integrated ERP system provides a comprehensive solution used across multiple City
functions, including but not limited to budgeting, general ledger, payroll, business license collection,
accounts receivable, accounts payable, cash management, purchasing, contract management, project
and grant accounting, financial reporting, and human resources management.
How long has the City used the Eden System, and why is a change needed?
The City has been using the Eden system since 2002. Since then, Eden has been paired with several
systems to accommodate additional functionality. Workarounds, manual processes, and the lack of
software integrations have impacted the efficiency of financial and other administrative operations
including, causing user error, duplicate or mis-recorded transactions, and an inability to track data across
the City. The result is a patchwork of products that are not integrated and require significant manual work
to perform common operations and provide adequate reports.
Additionally, Tyler’s Eden system now has a final sunset date of March 1, 2027, at which time Tyler will
discontinue the support of this solution. After that date, the City will no longer receive updates, security
patches, or support. Operating outdated or end-of-life software could present significant risks to the City
as it relates to being more vulnerable to cyber threats, business disruptions, and missed opportunities for
increased efficiency and effectiveness due to the absence of new technologies and productivity tools and
features.
Over the years, the volume and complexity of the City’s financial transactions and the need for additional
streamlining have become evident. Therefore, staff recommends that the City utilize an Enterprise
Resource Planning (ERP) system to streamline procedures, adopt best business practices, and enhance
internal controls. Replacing the current system is the prudent option to enhance the functionality needed
to modernize services, provide better data reporting, improve business decisions, and better overall
services to the community.
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 3
How long will it take to migrate data and configure the new ERP system?
A significant effort is required to migrate and implement an ERP system, and City staff estimates that this
project will take approximately 18 months to complete. Phase 1 of the project will include the development
and implementation of the Tyler/Munis Financial System over twelve months, with a tentative go-live date
of July 1, 2025. Phase 2 will entail concurrent development and implementation of the Tyler/Munis Human
Resources Management System and Payroll, with a tentative go-live date of January 1, 2026.
Following initial project implementation, supporting core business operations, additional system features
will continue to be developed and enhanced to take full advantage of the functionality of the Tyler/Munis
ERP System.
What was the selection process for the ERP system?
Procuring and implementing an ERP system is a challenging and time-consuming endeavor. To
accomplish this, staff reviewed current business processes, conducted user research to identify existing
pain points and opportunities for streamlining, and researched several ERP systems on the market.
On March 8, 2022, the City issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) to seek qualified firms who could
demonstrate they possess organizational, functional, and technical capabilities, as well as experience,
expertise, and qualifications necessary to fully integrate, a proven ERP solution to meet the City’s needs
and replace the City’s existing financial management system, Eden (Tyler). The RFP is provided as
Attachment 3.
Proposals were due April 29, 2022, and a total of two (2) proposals were received. Tyler Technologies
submitted a proposal for the MUNIS system, and Unit4 submitted a proposal for Unit4 ERP.
Subsequently, City staff from the Finance Department and Digital Service and Open Government
Department completed a comprehensive evaluation of the proposals received. City staff reviewed and
ranked them based on the following criteria: qualifications and experience of the firms, proposed team
and organization, proposed technical project approach, and cost proposal.
Based on its review, City staff determined that Tyler Technologies is the responsible vendor whose
proposal is the most advantageous to the City, taking into consideration price and the criteria established
for evaluation set forth in the RFP. Tyler Technologies has extensive experience providing Enterprise
Resource Planning (ERP) solutions to other municipalities. Additionally, as the current provider of the
current ERP (Eden) used by the City, Tyler is familiar with the City’s existing financial data structure.
Since 2022, City staff have conducted additional due diligence, including interviews with colleagues in
other jurisdictions regarding their experiences with Tyler and the MUNIS system. Staff maintains that the
City should enter into an agreement with Tyler to implement their MUNIS system.
What are the terms of this agreement?
Staff are recommending the award of a three-year contract in the amount not to exceed $1,101,499 for
the development and implementation of the Tyler MUNIS ERP system. Year 1 (FY 2024-25) costs of
$725,869 include one-time implementation costs of $538,054 and annual support services costs of
$187,815. Annual support costs provided through the Software as a Service Agreement remain at
$187,815 per year for Years 2 and 3 (FY 25-26 and FY 26-27) and will increase by 3% per year through
years 4 and year 5. Annual support fee increases are capped at 5% per year for years 6 through 10.
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 4
The following is a summary of the cost components of the three-year contract term:
The initial contract period shall be effective July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2027. Under the proposed
agreement, the City would retain the right to terminate the contract by providing a 60-day written
notification to Tyler before the expiration of the current term or renewal term. A copy of the proposed
contract and cost proposal is provided as Attachment 2.
What security considerations and protections are we putting in place for this system?
The security of City financial and personnel data is of the utmost importance. The greatest risk of a
potential data breach is the compromise of any accounts that have access to the ERP system. We are
mitigating that risk by enabling multi-factor authentication (MFA) and single sign-on verification through
the City’s Microsoft accounts. Staff with user accounts on the ERP system will be required to verify both
the location they are logging in from and approve number matching through Microsoft’s MFA system.
The City’s cybersecurity training program continues to reinforce vigilance for account users to avoid social
engineering from hackers who attempt to compromise access to any of our systems. Finally, Tyler has
several security practices in place for their data center and system, including redundancy, data back-ups,
annual penetration testing, regular threat briefing, and detection and prevention systems. The City will
conduct an audit of Tyler’s Security Operations Center report to assess any other cybersecurity risks we
should address with the new system.

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

request those services with at least one (1) weeks' advance notice.

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.

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.
••:; o tyler
Exhibit B
Schedule 1
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.

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.

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

IV. Maintenance Notifications
We perform Standard Maintenance during limited windows that are historically known to be reliably
low -traffic times. If and when maintenance is predicted to occur during periods of higher traffic, we will
provide advance notice of those windows and will coordinate to the greatest extent possible with you.
Not all maintenance activities will cause application unavailability. However, if Tyler anticipates that
activities during a Standard or Emergency Maintenance window may make the Tyler Software unavailable,
we will provide advance notice, as reasonably practicable, that the Tyler Software will be unavailable
during the maintenance window.

Tyler Technologies, Inc. provides the following channels of software support for authorized users*:
(1) On-line submission (portal) —for less urgent and functionality -based questions, users may create
support incidents through the Tyler Customer Portal available at the Tyler Technologies website.
A built-in Answer Panel provides users with resolutions to most "how-to" and configuration -
based questions through a simplified search interface with machine learning, potentially
eliminating the need to submit the support case.
(2) Email —for less urgent situations, users may submit emails directly to the software support
group.
(3) Telephone —for urgent or complex questions, users receive toll -free, telephone software
support.
* Channel availability may be limited for certain applications.
Support Resources
A number of additional resources are available to provide a comprehensive and complete support
experience:
(1) Tyler Website — www.tylertech.com — for accessing client tools, documentation, and other
information including support contact information.
(2) Tyler Search -a knowledge based search engine that lets you search multiple sources
simultaneously to find the answers you need, 240.
(3) Tyler Community —provides a venue for all Tyler clients with current maintenance agreements to
collaborate with one another, share best practices and resources, and access documentation.
(4) Tyler University — online training courses on Tyler products.
Support Availability
Tyler Technologies support is available during the local business hours of 8 AM to 5 PM (Monday —
Friday) across four US time zones (Pacific, Mountain, Central and Eastern). Tyler's holiday schedule is
outlined below. There will be no support coverage on these days.
New Year's Day

Exhibit C
Schedule 1
such a Defect notification, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to meet the resolution targets
set forth below.
We will also make commercially reasonable efforts to be available for one pre -scheduled Saturday of
each month to assist your IT staff with applying patches and release upgrades, as well as consulting with
them on server maintenance and configuration of the Tyler Software environment.
Incident Handling
Incident Tracking
Every support incident is logged into Tyler's Customer Relationship Management System and given a
unique case number. This system tracks the history of each incident. The case number is used to track
and reference open issues when clients contact support. Clients may track incidents, using the case
number, through Tyler's Customer Portal or by calling software support directly.
Incident Priority
Each incident is assigned a priority level, which corresponds to the Client's needs. Tyler and the Client
will reasonably set the priority of the incident per the chart below. This chart is not intended to address
every type of support incident, and certain "characteristics" may or may not apply depending on
whether the Tyler software has been deployed on customer infrastructure or the Tyler cloud. The goal is
to help guide the Client towards clearly understanding and communicating the importance of the issue
and to describe generally expected response and resolution targets in the production environment only.
References to a "confirmed support incident" mean that Tyler and the Client have successfully validated
the reported Defect/support incident.
Priority
Level Characteristics of Support Incident Resolution Targets`
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 incident. Once the incident has been confirmed,
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.

Response and Resolution Targets may differ by product or business need
If Tyler is unable to resolve any priority level 1 or 2 defect as listed above or the priority of an issue has
elevated since initiation, you may escalate the incident to the appropriate resource, as outlined by each
product support team. The corresponding resource will meet with you and any Tyler staff to establish a
mutually agreeable plan for addressing the defect.
Remote Support Tool
Some support calls may require further analysis of the Client's database, processes or setup to diagnose
a problem or to assist with a question. Tyler will, at its discretion, use an industry -standard remote
support tool. Tyler's support team must have the ability to quickly connect to the Client's system 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.

Part 1: Executive Summary
1. Project Overview
1.1 Introduction
Tyler Technologies ("Tyler") is the largest and most established provider of integrated software and
technology services focused solely on the public sector. Tyler's end -to -end solutions empower public sector
entities including local, state, provincial and federal government, to operate more efficiently and connect
more transparently with their constituents and with each other. By connecting data and processes across
disparate systems, Tyler's solutions transform how clients gain actionable insights that solve problems in their
communities.
1.2 Project Goals
This Statement of Work ("SOW") documents the methodology, implementation stages, activities, and roles
and responsibilities, and project scope listed in the Investment Summary of the Agreement between Tyler
and the City (collectively the "Project").
The overall goals of the project are to:
• Successfully implement the contracted scope on time and on budget
■ Increase operational efficiencies and empower users to be more productive
• Improve accessibility and responsiveness to external and internal customer needs
■ Overcome current challenges and meet future goals
1.3 Methodology
This is accomplished by the City and Tyler working as a partnership and Tyler utilizing its depth of
implementation experience. While each Project is unique, all will follow Tyler's six -stage methodology. Each
of the six stages is comprised of multiple work packages, and each work package includes a narrative
description, objectives, tasks, inputs, outputs/deliverables, assumptions, and a responsibility matrix.
Tailored specifically for Tyler's public sector clients, the project methodology contains Stage Acceptance
Control Points throughout each Phase to ensure adherence to scope, budget, timeline controls, effective
communications, and quality standards. Clearly defined, the project methodology repeats consistently across
Phases, and is scaled to meet the City's complexity and organizational needs.
Tyler's Six Stage Project Methodology
ttarnM ` i r<r neDrcr �encner aMW mpL DEfI 1R1� SrREAQIM�SS
The methodology adapts to both single-phase and multiple -phase projects.
To achieve Project success, it is imperative that both the City and Tyler commit to including the necessary
leadership and governance. During each stage of the Project, it is expected that the City and Tyler Project
teams work collaboratively to complete tasks. An underlying principle of Tyler's Implementation process is to
employ an iterative model where the City's business processes are assessed, configured, validated, and
refined cyclically in line with the project budget. This approach is used in multiple stages and work packages
as illustrated in the graphic below.
Iterative Project Model
The delivery approach is systematic, which reduces variability and mitigates risks to ensure Project success. As
illustrated, some stages, along with work packages and tasks, are intended to be overlapping by nature to
complete the Project efficiently and effectively.
Part 2: Project Foundation
2. Project Governance
Project governance is the management framework within which Project decisions are made. The role of
Project governance is to provide a decision -making approach that is logical, robust, and repeatable. This
allows organizations to have a structured approach for conducting its daily business in addition to project
related activities.
This section outlines the resources required to meet the business needs, objectives, and priorities for the
Project, communicate the goals to other Project participants, and provide support and guidance to
accomplish these goals. Project governance defines the structure for escalation of issues and risks, Change
Control review and authority, and Organizational Change Management activities. Throughout the Statement
of Work Tyler has provided RACI Matrices for activities to be completed throughout the implementation
which will further outline responsibilities of different roles in each stage. Further refinement of the
governance structure, related processes, and specific roles and responsibilities occurs during the Initiate &
Plan Stage.
The chart below illustrates an overall team perspective where Tyler and the City collaborate to resolve Project
challenges according to defined escalation paths. If project managers do not possess authority to determine a
solution, resolve an issue, or mitigate a risk, Tyler implementation management and the City Steering
Committee become the escalation points to triage responses prior to escalation to the City and Tyler
executive sponsors. As part of the escalation process, each Project governance tier presents
recommendations and supporting information to facilitate knowledge transfer and issue resolution. The City
and Tyler executive sponsors serve as the final escalation point.

I Project Scope Control
3.1 Managing Scope and Project Change
Project Management governance principles contend that there are three connected constraints on a Project:
budget, timeline, and scope. These constraints, known as the "triple constraints" or project management
triangle, define budget in terms of financial cost, labor costs, and other resource costs. Scope is defined as the
work performed to deliver a product, service or result with the specified features and functions, while time is
simply defined as the schedule. The Triple Constraint theory states that if you change one side of the triangle,
the other two sides must be correspondingly adjusted. For example, if the scope of the Project is increased,
cost and time to complete will also need to increase. The Project and executive teams will need to remain
cognizant of these constraints when making impactful decisions to the Project. A simple illustration of this
triangle is included here, showing the connection of each item and their relational impact to the overall
Scope.
Project Management Triangle
A pillar of any successful project is the ability to properly manage scope while allowing the appropriate level
of flexibility to incorporate approved changes. Scope and changes within the project will be managed using
the change control process outlined in the following section.
3.2 Change Control
It may become necessary to change the scope of this Project due to unforeseeable circumstances (e.g., new
constraints or opportunities are discovered). This Project is being undertaken with the understanding that
Project scope, schedule, and/or cost may need to change to produce optimal results for stakeholders.
Changes to contractual requirements will follow the change control process specified in the final contract,
and as described below.
3.3 Change Request Management
Should the need for a change to Project scope, schedule, and/or cost be identified during the Project, the
change will be brought to the attention of the Steering Committee and an assessment of the change will
occur. While such changes may result in additional costs and delays relative to the schedule, some changes
may result in less cost to the City; for example, the City may decide it no longer needs a deliverable originally
defined in the Project. The Change Request will include the following information:
■ The nature of the change.
• A good faith estimate of the additional cost or associated savings to the City, if any.
• The timetable for implementing the change.
■ The effect on and/or risk to the schedule, resource needs or resource responsibilities.
The City will use its good faith efforts to either approve or disapprove any Change Request within ten (10)
Business Days (or other period as mutually agreeable between Tyler and the City). Any changes to the Project
scope, budget, or timeline must be documented and approved in writing using a Change Request form. These
changes constitute a formal amendment to the Statement of Work and will supersede any conflicting term in
the Statement of Work.

4. Acceptance Process
The implementation of a Project involves many decisions to be made throughout its lifecycle. Decisions will
vary from higher level strategy decisions to smaller, detailed Project level decisions. It is critical to the success
of the Project that each City office or department designates specific individuals for making decisions on
behalf of their offices or departments.
Both Tyler and the City will identify representative project managers. These individuals will represent the
interests of all stakeholders and serve as the primary contacts between the two organizations.
The coordination of gaining City feedback and approval on Project deliverables will be critical to the success of
the Project. The City project manager will strive to gain deliverable and decision approvals from all authorized
City representatives. Given that the designated decision -maker for each department may not always be
available, there must be a designated proxy for each decision point in the Project. Assignment of each proxy
will be the responsibility of the leadership from each City department. The proxies will be named individuals
that have the authorization to make decisions on behalf of their department.
The following process will be used for accepting Deliverables and Control Points:
The City shall have five (5) business days from the date of delivery, or as otherwise mutually agreed
upon by the parties in writing, to accept each Deliverable or Control Point. If the City does not
provide acceptance or acknowledgement within five (5) business days, or the otherwise agreed upon
timeframe, not to be unreasonably withheld, Tyler deems the Deliverable or Control Point as
accepted.
If the City does not agree the Deliverable or Control Point meets requirements, the City shall notify
Tyler project manager(s), in writing, with reasoning within 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 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.
5. Roles and Responsibilities
The following defines the roles and responsibilities of each Project resource for the City and Tyler. Roles and
responsibilities may not follow the organizational chart or position descriptions at the City, but are roles
defined within the Project. It is common for individual resources on both the Tyler and City project teams to
fill multiple roles. Similarly, it is common for some roles to be filled by multiple people.

6. Project Stages
Work Breakdown Structure
The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is a hierarchical representation of a Project or Phase broken down into
smaller, more manageable components. The top-level components are called "Stages" and the second level
components are called "Work Packages". The work packages, shown below each stage, contain the high-level
work to be done. The detailed Project Schedule, developed during Project/Phase Planning and finalized during
subsequent stages, lists the tasks to be completed within each work package. Each stage ends with a "Control
Point", confirming the work performed during that stage of the Project has been accepted by the City.

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

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

6.2,2 Current & Future State Analysis
The Current & Future State Analysis provides the Project stakeholders and Tyler an understanding of process
changes that will be achieved with the new system.
The City and Tyler will evaluate current state processes, options within the new software, pros and cons of
each based on current or desired state and make decisions about the future state configuration and
processing. This may occur before or within the same timeframe as the configuration work package. The
options within the new software will be limited to the scope of this implementation and will make use of
standard Tyler functionality.
The City will adopt the existing Tyler solution wherever possible to avoid project schedule and quality risk
from over customization of Tyler products. It is the City's responsibility to verify that in -scope requirements
are being met throughout the implementation if functional requirements are defined as part of the contract.
The following guidelines will be followed when evaluating if a modification to the product is required:
■ A reasonable business process change is available.
• Functionality exists which satisfies the requirement.
■ Configuration of the application satisfies the requirement.
■ An in -scope modification satisfies the requirement.
Requirements that are not met will follow the agreed upon change control process and can have impacts on
the project schedule, scope, budget, and resource availability.

Work package assumptions:
■ City attendees possess sufficient knowledge and authority to make future state decisions.
• The City is responsible for any documentation of current state business processes.
• The City can effectively communicate current state processes.
6.2.3 Data Assessment
Given the completion of the Current & Future State Analysis, the Data Assessment will provide the
implementation team the design for data delivery prior to configuration. The data Assessment will also allow
the Tyler and the City teams to identify the data that will be configured within the Tyler System. The team will
develop and map out dataset structures to ensure that data is structured in a way that allows maximum
utility.
The teams will review any existing data publish and metadata standards for the City's current data program to
determine any necessary adjustments or configuration needs. Finally, the implementation team develops
data workflows to map data from the source system(s) into the Tyler system, discussing any additional data
requirements as needed.
Objectives:
■ Communicate a common understanding of the project goals with respect to data.
■ Ensure complete and accurate source data is available for review/transfer.
• If source data is a Tyler legacy system, Tyler performs the data mappings. If source data is from a
third -party, client is responsible for mapping the data from the source to the Tyler system.
• Document the data conversion/loading approach.

If the source data is a Tyler system Tyler's Conversion Engineers extract and map the data into the
standard Munis conversion format. If the source data is from a third -party the client will provide
Tyler with the data in a mutually agreed upon format.
Tyler will work with the City representatives to identify business rules before writing the conversion.
City subject matter experts and resources most familiar with the current data will be involved in the
data conversion planning effort.
6.2.4 Conversion Assessment
Data Conversions are a major effort in any software implementation. Tyler's conversion tools facilitate the
predictable, repeatable conversion process that is necessary to support a successful transition to the Tyler
system. The first step in this process is to perform an assessment of the existing ("legacy") system(s), to
better understand the source data, risks, and options available. Once the data has been analyzed, the plan for
data conversion is completed and communicated to the appropriate stakeholders.
Objectives:
• Communicate a common understanding of the project goals with respect to data.
• Ensure complete and accurate source data is available for review/transfer.
■ Map the data from the source to the Tyler system.
■ Document the data conversion/loading approach.

6.4.3 End User Training
End User Training is a critical part of any successful software implementation. Using a training plan previously
reviewed and approved, the Project team will organize and initiate the training activities.
Train the Trainer: Tyler provides one occurrence of each scheduled training or implementation topic. City
users who attended the Tyler sessions may train additional users. Additional Tyler led sessions may be
contracted at the applicable rates for training.
Tyler will provide standard application documentation for the general use of the software. It is not Tyler's
responsibility to develop City specific business process documentation. City -led training labs using City
specific business process documentation if created by the City can be added to the regular training
curriculum, enhancing the training experiences of the end users.
Objectives:
• End users are trained on how to use the software prior to go -live.
■ The City is prepared for on -going training and support of the application.

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

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