Section 7.05. Remedy for Breach of Obligations Regarding Implementation. In the event that
Commonwealth fails to timely or properly maintain or perform its obligations with regard to the
Project/Implementation Plan set forth in Schedule B, Commonwealth shall use their best efforts
to return to conformance to the Project/Implementation Plan. In the event the cumulative total of
delays in implementation, which need not be consecutive, exceeds sixty (60) days,
Commonwealth shall be considered in material breach of this Agreement, and the Customer shall
have a right to terminate this Agreement for cause, in whole or in part, in accordance with the
terms and conditions of Article XII, or to exercise any other of its rights and remedies. The
Customer's exercise of its option to designate the party required to perform certain tasks shall

Augusta, GA Solid Waste Software Contract
5
conditions of Article XII; namely non payment of fees according to fee schedule and distribution
of Licensed Software or user documentation beyond the licensed users, installation on additional
workstations without the express written permission of Commonwealth.
Commonwealth is contractually obligated to provide software and implementation support for
this project and to satisfy the requirements found in Schedule C. Customer and Commonwealth
consent to work conscientiously and cooperatively in order to achieve implementation by the
established "Go Live" date as set forth in the Project Schedule attached as Schedule B. For each
workday that implementation is delayed beyond the agreed-upon "Go-Live" date,
Commonwealth agrees to pay Customer liquidated damages of $100 per day provided that the
delay in "Go Live" was not attributable any of the conditions described in Items A-C of this
section. Customer agrees to submit to Commonwealth, in writing, any issues that may impact
the "Go Live" that are believed to be Commonwealth's responsibility and may therefore increase
the likelihood of a penalty being invoked. Customer shall identify these issues as soon as
possible so that corrective action can be taken by Commonwealth. The penalty shall not apply
under the following circumstances:
A. The Go-Live date was extended or moved by mutual consent of Customer and
Commonwealth. If the Go-Live date is extended or moved by written mutual consent
of both parties, then penalties will accrue beginning on the new Go-Live date.
B. Customer did not meet requirements or objectives required in order to facilitate Go-
Live as scheduled (including failure to order equipment that was the Customer's
responsibility to order, or failure to set up said equipment). Such failure by the
Customer must be documented in writing by Commonwealth as soon as possible so
that corrective action can be taken.
C. Customer failed to notify Commonwealth of additional requirements which, when
identified, impacted the Go Live date of the project. Such failure by the Customer
must be documented in writing by Commonwealth by Commonwealth as soon as
possible so that corrective action can be taken.
If said penalties are enacted, all penalties will become due and payable upon failure to meet the
Go-Live date and shall accrue until paid in full. Additional services and/or licenses may be
accepted as payment provided that this type of restitution is acceptable to the Customer.
Section 7.06. Custom Programming. Commonwealth agrees to undertake all of the duties and
obligations set forth in Schedule D with respect to development of Custom Programming, subject
to scheduling and administrative and/or commission approval as sought by Customer. These
activities shall be undertaken in accordance with the time frames also set forth in Schedule B
where applicable.
VIII. ACCEPTANCE TESTING PROCEDURES
Section 8.01. General Scope. Commonwealth shall perform the Work in accordance with the
scheduled dates set forth in the Project/Implementation Plan (Schedule B).
Section 8.02. System Acceptance Test. Following successful completion of installation, a
"System Acceptance Test" shall be performed with respect to the entirety of the Licensed
Augusta, GA Solid Waste Software Contract
6
Software. The System Acceptance Test shall be performed so as to determine that all of the
Licensed Software operating as an integral system performs in accordance with all detailed
specifications and functional descriptions set forth in this Agreement and the Functional
Specifications. During the System Acceptance Test, the Customer shall have the right to use the
Licensed Software with live data. The System Acceptance Test shall be completed within an
initial period of 60 days following initiation of the same, which will commence in not more than
sixty (60) days following the successful installation of Licensed Software. If more than 60 days
elapses after Commonwealth installs and there are no written notification of errors or failures the
software will be deemed accepted. This sixty (60) day clock would pause as Commonwealth is
informed of errors or failures and while Commonwealth staff work to correct them.
Section 8.03. Acceptance Testing. The Customer recognizes that during System Acceptance
Testing, there will be errors, which will be discovered and corrected by Commonwealth. This
process of identification of issues and the request by the Customer for modifications to existing
formats or layouts is a natural process during the installation, testing, training, "go-live",
acceptance and post-implementation support phases. Commonwealth is required to provide the
Licensed Software, as agreed to be modified, in operational condition and ready for recordations.
Should a situation occur wherein the modifications are incomplete or that other operational
features of the Licensed Software preclude the Customer from performing the complete
recordation process, including the performance of every software module, the Customer may
suspend the testing. If such suspension occurs, the Customer shall provide Commonwealth with
written notice and physical evidence of the errors or operational failures, which must be
corrected before the system can be accepted. Commonwealth shall thereafter undertake its best
efforts to correct such errors and failures as soon as possible. Upon correction of the same,
Commonwealth shall immediately notify the Customer of completion of corrections, and a
second System Acceptance Testing shall occur, with a completion date for such test period
extended by the period of time required for corrections. However, if the period of time required
for corrections of errors or failures identified by the Customer in a single notice exceeds fourteen
(14) days, or if the total period of time required for interim correction of all errors or failures
occurring during the test period exceeds sixty (60) days, the Customer may terminate all or a
portion of this Agreement for cause in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, except that
Commonwealth shall not be entitled to any additional time to correct or cure any errors or
failures as may be provided by other sections. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, in no event
shall the Customer have less than sixty (60) days following completion of any corrections by
Commonwealth to test any such corrections.
Section 8.04. Nonacceptance. Failure of the Licensed Software to successfully complete the
System Acceptance Testing described in 8.03 without the occurrence of errors or failures
reported in writing to Commonwealth by City shall entitle the Customer, at its option, to
terminate all or a portion of this Agreement for cause in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, except that Commonwealth shall not be entitled to any additional time to correct or
cure any errors or failures as may be provided by other sections. Failure of the Customer to
notify Commonwealth of nonacceptance within ten (10) days following completion of the second
System Acceptance Test period shall be deemed a successful completion of the System
Acceptance Test. In the event that the Customer exercises its option to terminate this Agreement
under this Section and upon payment of the refund by Commonwealth, the Customer shall
return, purge or permanently destroy all Licensed Software Modules (and Copies thereof) within
Augusta, GA Solid Waste Software Contract
7
twenty (20) days following payment of the refund, except for backup copies which shall be
returned, purged or permanently destroyed within ninety (90) days.

Section B3: Proiect Task Definitions.
Create training schedule
Each City of Augusta staffer will have unique elements ofInsight that they will be interested in learning. We will create
a curriculum and schedule. You may then select the areas that interest you most and participate in those areas of
training exclusively. This maximizes the focus of the training where needed and minimizes regular workload
disruptions.
Create system and report changes
The developers will create all the additional reports, process and screen changes. These will be verified during the
construction by the appropriate City of Augusta authority for the specific function.
Create data Migration
The data from legacy system will be migrated to the Insight database. We must determine which data and how much of
it is supposed to come over. This temporary tool will be used to refresh the data a number oftimes during this project
until the [mal migration during the go live event.
Residential data from route audit (approx. 60,000 residents) 10 days

Set up staging lab at Commonwealth
This is a set of computers that contain a simulation of the City of Augusta environment and data. The code changes will
be tested here. The training and the overall system testing will be done here also.
Test completed program changes and data migration in staging area
This is the process where City of Augusta personnel sign off on the completion of the code changes that need to be
done in advance of go live. This involves testing all reports and screen or process changes.
Begin City of Augusta staff training
Near the end of the implementation plan, the training of the City of Augusta staff will begin. It is our desire to schedule
these events as close to go-live date as possible. These events will be grouped around areas of expertise. We will
attempt to make the training 3 - 4 hour blocks at a time over the course of a few weeks. The data used during the
training will be the migrated data.
Create final installation plan accounting for probability of co-existence of 2 systems
Here we want to explore the possibility of an install to the live systems ahead of time. If Insight is allowed to co-exist
with the legacy system, then we can install Insight before the go live date and do a system wide infrastructure walk
through.
Go Live
Mission Critical cut-over. This means that we do not run parallel. The users stop using the old and start using the new.
Section B4: Development Methodology.
This describes how we do what we do. The Commonwealth Development Methodology begins with a requirements
definition and user feedback loop. This produces agreed upon specifications. From this document the detail design
specifications are produced. These are programmer specifications that provide directions of the technical nature
required by good programmers. The programmers construct and test their objects and modules. These are then
integrated into the existing product framework and system and integration tested in preparation for beta and ultimate
pilot testing. The new features are then documented and the support staff is trained on their nature and use. Finally, the
pilot is complete and the work is ready for general release.

Section C2: Software Functional Requirements. The Software shall have the following
functionality as identified in the original RFP #05-162 section entitled Software and System
Requirements. Since the original RFP was released, these items have been identified for
completion in either Phase I or Phase II ofthis project. Items in Schedule C are part ofthe Phase
I Implementation, and items that have been moved to Phase II (which are indicated under
Schedule D) are indicated as such following the Vendor Response, since the response to the RFP
question was a key guiding factor in phase assignment. Phase II requirements will be addressed
under a Statement of Work separate from this contract. Additionally, several items have been
classified as "Phase III" items that are not to be included as part of the vendor's contract
obligations for this project. These exist here simply for information items in order to guide
future development.
For all ofthe requirements listed on the following pages, the vendor is expected to respond in the
column on the right according to the following parameters:
Augusta, GA Solid Waste Software Contract
23
Y
Vendor is fully compliant with the requirement. If the vendor is partially
compliant, they should indicate "N" rather than "Y", and include an
explanation.
N
Vendor is not currently compliant with the requirement and does not plan
to be compliant for the foreseeable future. Please note that a response of
"N" will generally not disqualify a vendor from this competitive process.
M
Software currently does not meet the requirement but this can be done as a
modification at no cost.
M$xxx
Software currently does not meet the requirement but this can be done as a
modification for an additional cost. The vendor should indicate in the
"xxx" what the estimated cost will be.
F
The software does not meet the requirement but the feature is under
development and will be provided at a future date at no additional cost. If
this code is used, a date should be supplied as well (e.g. F 8/6/2006).
N/A
Does not Apply (Based on the vendor's specific solution, this is not
applicable). For example, questions referring to data being hosted offsite
would not apply to vendors offering a solution to be served from the
Augusta IT computer room.
Please note: Augusta reserves the right to automatically disqualify for consideration any vendor
that is found to have answered these questions falsely with the intent to deceive in order to
artificially enhance their chances of becoming the vendor of choice for this project.
This list may be amended as needed during the implementation, allowing Augusta to request
additional modifications. Modifications requested by Augusta that are not included below, and
are not considered by Commonwealth to be needed by future Software Licensees will be done
for an additional fee based on Augusta acceptance of a quote provided by Commonwealth for
such modification.

Section H3: Explanation of Pricing and Estimates.
o Software Cost Section
· The costs for the customized programming defined in this section represent a very gross estimate. As
described in our explanation of the Standard Software Development Process, exact costs cannot be known
until a proper Proposed Business Model is constructed. Or in other words, detail design specifications are
done. We feel that it is impossible for anyone to do it correctly any other way. Any estimate presented as an
accurate quote without that detail design work done is highly suspect at least and probably very misleading.
· We are putting these numbers forward as a 'ballpark' guess based on the gross assumptions we have had to
make. Even if we spent all of the time between receiving the RFP on October 24th and the November 9th
question deadline sending written communications back and forth to the procurement office trying to create
detailed specifications, we would not have been able to create them in that short of time using that manner
of communication. It requires face to face, 'in the trenches' tedious, hard work to interrogate all the
necessary users, vendors and other contributing parties to do the job correctly and accurately. We know that
a 'final number' stipulation was described as a criteria for the nature of the estimates. We cannot warrant
that on these estimates. If that disqualifies us, well then that would be regrettable. But we would know we
did due diligence and gave the truest and best numbers we could. Anything else would have been
disingenuous and misleading.
· So we based the estimates on the assumption that we were building these features for our core product. The
goal there is to have the richest functionality on the market and the highest quality product. Basically, it is a
high standard and one we could be proud of. However, you may have requirements unique to Augusta that
will alter the estimates up or down by significant amounts.
· Therefore, the estimates are subject to change by you the customer based on the details you will ultimately
provide during the inevitable detail design phase of the project.
o Management / Implementation Cost Section
· The above stipulation carries over into this section. Changes may occur to estimates of the volume of time
spent on your site, the travel expenses and the hours spent managing the project. Also, ifthere is the
possibility of an Augusta IT staff member managing all or segments of the project, then that could reduce
costs.
o Training Costs
· Training costs will be based on actual hours used. If students are quick studies the costs will be less. If we
train a super user who trains others, the costs will also be less.
o Conversion of Existing Data Section
· The conversion makes the following assumptions: The goal is to migrate the landfill customer names and
addresses. There are no special pricing contracts to be migrated. The open AR balances will be migrated in
detail open item records. As for the solid waste records, the goal is to migrate the customer name, address,
a service location and one container activity record per customer and any AR balance if that is applicable.
o Annual Support Costs Section (Starting 2nd year)
· The support costs are based on the rate of the license fee before Cooperative Development Program
discount. They are included for the first year so no support costs are incurred until the second year.

o Hardware Costs Section
· We have included hardware cost estimates for the elements of our software that have these interfaces up
and running now. Hardware for items to be created in the future have not been included since the detail
requirements are not known. We felt that absent these details the inaccuracy of the hardware costs might
skew the accuracy of the estimate too much.

customer shall not have changed.
o Additional licenses purchases by the Customer shall be billed at the then-current

AU2usta Information Technolo2V Third-Party Vendor Access A2reement
This is an excerpt of relevant material from the Augusta Information Technology Standard
Operating Procedures, 2005 Edition.
5.6.4.1 Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to provide guidelines for Remote Access Virtual Private Network
(VPN) connections to the Augusta Richmond County network.
5.6.4.2 Scope
This policy applies to all Augusta Richmond County employees, contractors, consultants,
temporaries, and other workers including all personnel affiliated with third parties utilizing
VPNs to access the Augusta Richmond County network. This policy applies to implementations
ofVPN that are directed through an Augusta Richmond County VPN Concentrator.
5.6.4.3 Policy
Approved Augusta Richmond County employees and authorized third parties (customers,
vendors, etc.) may utilize the benefits ofVPNs, which are a "user managed" service. This means
that the user is responsible for selecting an Internet Service Provider (ISP), coordinating
installation, installing any required software, and paying associated fees.
Any employee wishing to access the internal Augusta-Richmond County network remotely from
any location other than a branch office shall through a VPN via the internet. They will have to
authenticate themselves using a uniquely assigned password. All sensitive data will be encrypted
in transit over all networks.
A user with Internet access from home may request access to the network via the Internet using
VPN access. The user must make the request through their proj ect leader and provide their
username. The username will be the same one used when using a computer on the network.
Passwords must meet the requirements of the Password Policy (See Passwords for IT
Resources). Once approved the user must install the VPN client on their computer to be able to
access the network through the Internet.
All vendors will be required to use VPN to connect to any resource on the Augusta-Richmond
County network. Vendors needing access to the Augusta-Richmond County network will need
to be requested through the appropriate Project Leader only. The Project Leader will then need
to email firewall administrators the request with day and time the vendor needs access. If this is
a new vendor access, then the Project Leader will need to make the request with the security
administrator to setup the appropriate access needed.
Additionally,
1. VPN access is provided through the Augusta Information Technology Department. No
other department may implement VPN services.
2. It is the responsibility of employees with VPN privileges to ensure that unauthorized
. users are not allowed access to Augusta Richmond County internal networks.
Augusta, GA Solid Waste Software Contract
46
3. The VPN software can only be installed on the computer listed on the access request
form.
4. VPN use is to be controlled using either a one-time password authentication such as a
token device or a public/private key system with a strong passphrase.
5. When actively connected to the corporate network, VPNs will force all traffic to and
from the PC over the VPN tunnel: all other traffic will be dropped.
6. Dual (split) tunneling is NOT permitted; only one network connection is allowed.
7. VPN gateways will be set up and managed by Augusta Richmond County network
operational groups.
8. All network activity during a VPN session is subject to ARC policies and may be
monitored for compliance.
9. All computers connected to Augusta Richmond County internal networks via VPN or any
other technology must use the most up-to-date anti-virus software that is the county
standard (provide URL to this software); this includes personal computers. All
computers are also required to be up to date on all OS patches for security. Proof of
compliance is required prior to the assignment of a VPN account to ensure network
health.
10. VPN users will be automatically disconnected from Augusta Richmond County's network
after thirty minutes of inactivity. The user must then logon again to reconnect to the
network.
