The Santa Ana Property Information Network (SAPIN) is an internally developed land
management, permitting, and code enforcement system that was implemented in 2000
to replace a problematic DOS-based permitting system, called GTS, that had been used
by the City since 1993. GTS would frequently crash, and when it did, it was very difficult
to restore the system to proper operation. In 1999, members of the City’s management
team researched the software applications that were available at the time and determined
that none of them could meet the functional business needs of the City of Santa Ana
without heavy customization and special add-ons. Therefore, the decision was made to
develop the SAPIN system in-house to better meet the City’s needs. In preparation, the
City migrated its historical data from the GTS system going back to 1993 into the SAPIN
system; it also loaded in other historical data from even further back. Since 2000, the City
has been using the SAPIN system for plan checking, building permitting, building
inspections, Public Works permitting, and Code Enforcement case management.
Although the SAPIN system has been enhanced over the years and has met the needs
of the City for more than two decades, its capabilities have fallen too far behind the
technology and functionality now available from other off-the-shelf applications on the
market. It now makes sense for the City to move from a custom application to a standard
vendor package that can better meet the City’s needs and provide the improved
functionality that the SAPIN system is lacking.
On August 24, 2020, the Technology Department released a Request for Proposals (RFP
No. 20-108) for an Enterprise Land Management System and Implementation Services.
The RFP included extensive system requirements and objectives. The City was open to
both on-premise and cloud-based solutions, and the RFP also included a request for
services for implementation, data conversion, integration with other City systems, and
ongoing managed services after go-live.
We notified 543 vendors of the RFP. The City conducted a demo of the SAPIN system
for all prospective bidders so they could see the specific capabilities the City already has
and would continue to require in a new system.
The City received four proposals. These proposals were subsequently reviewed by a
selection committee composed of staff from the Information Technology Department,
Public Works Agency, and the Planning and Building Agency (Planning Division, Building
Division, and Code Enforcement). The reviewers ranked the proposals as follows:

The top-ranked proposal was recieved from Avocette Technologies Inc. (“Avocette”), a
system implementation partner, which proposed implementing the Clariti Cloud Inc.
(Clariti) Permitting and Licensing System. The selection committee performed further due
diligence of this top proposal, including having a multi-day, detailed, scripted
demonstration and conducting reference checks with both Avocette and Clariti customers,
including the County of Orange, which uses the Clariti system. The Clariti Permitting and
Licensing application runs on the Salesforce.com cloud platform and includes numerous
features the City was seeking, including the following: an online customer portal, GIS
integration, mobile access for staff, robust transaction accounting, billing capabilities, and
integration with the City’s ePlan application. (Exhibit A is the agreement with Clariti and
Salesforce for software subscription licensing.)
As the application implementation and support vendor, Avocette will provide the
implementation and integration services for the Clariti system, as well as the on-going
managed services of the system using its ServicePlus offering. These on-going managed
services will be provided through June 2026. (Exhibit B is the agreement with Avocette
for the implementation and integration services; Exhibit C is the agreement for the on-
going managed services.)
For the selection portion of this project, the City utilized Park Consulting Group Inc. (PCG)
to assist with the identification of software vendors, RFP development, and contract
negotiations for the project. PCG specializes in Land Management System consulting and
has assisted other local agencies with procurement and implementation services
including the County of Orange, City of Newport Beach, City of Fullerton, City of
Huntington Beach, City of Lake Forest, and the City of Aliso Viejo. The City would like to
contract with PCG to provide project oversight and quality assurance in order to help
monitor the ongoing progress of the project and assist with any functional issues that
arise. (Exhibit D is the agreement for these services with PCG.)

3. Customer Data
3.1. Ownership of Customer Data: CLARITI will not acquire any
right, title to interest in, to or associated with the data provided by Customer
or created by Customer using the Services (collectively, the “Customer
Data”).

during the Term and within thirty (30) days after the end of the Term,
CLARITI will request that Salesforce.com return all Customer Data in the
Apex Platform to Customer in accordance with the Salesforce.com End User
Subscription Agreement. CLARITI and Salesforce.com are not responsible
for the privacy, security or integrity of Customer Data that is transmitted
outside the Apex Platform.
3.3. Consent and License of Customer Data: Certain Services may
require that CLARITI and Salesforce.com access, use, process and transmit
Customer Data, and certain CLARITI modules or additional functionalities
(including data integration with Customer’s systems) may result in Customer
Data being transmitted from the Apex Platform to other computer systems.
Customer authorizes and consents to such use of Customer Data by
CLARITI and Salesforce.com, and hereby grants to CLARITI and
Salesforce.com a non-exclusive, royalty free, world-wide right and license
during the Term to access, copy, process and otherwise use Customer Data
as may be required to provide the Services, perform CLARITI’s obligations
under this Agreement or to create Anonymized Data. "Anonymized Data"
means Customer Data which has been stripped of information potentially
identifying Customer or which contains any Personal Information, and has
been manipulated or combined to provide generalized anonymous
information that cannot be reverse-engineered to identify the Customer or
identify an individual.
3.4. Disclaimer: Use of Customer Data is at Customer’s own risk.
Customer is solely responsible for, and bears all risks and liabilities
associated with, all Customer Data. CLARITI does not have any control over
Customer DATA AND is not responsible or liable for Salesforce.com’s
storage of Customer Data or the deletion, correction, destruction, damage,
loss of or failure to store any Customer Data. CLARITI makes no
representation, warranty, condition or guarantee of any nature or kind
whatsoever, whether express, implied or statutory, or arising from custom or
trade usage or by any course of dealing or course of performance, regarding
Customer Data, and disclaims any and all responsibility and liability for
Customer Data to the fullest extent permitted by law.
4. Authorized Users
4.1. Users: Customer will access and use the Services only through
Customer’s authorized representatives (each a “User”) with a valid and
subsisting account (each an “Account”) and username and password
issued by or on behalf of CLARITI (collectively, “Codes”). Customer will
appoint and authorize one or more Users (each an “Administrator”) to
appoint other Users and administer Customer’s use of the Services.
Customer will not authorize more Users than the number of Users specified
in valid and subsisting Orders. A User whose employment has been
terminated by Customer or who will otherwise no longer use the Service may
be replaced with a new User. Customer is fully responsible and liable for,
and bears all risks relating to, all use of the Services by Users and all acts
or omissions by Users and will ensure that all Users comply with the terms
of this Agreement and the SFDC Agreements.
4.2. Registration/Changes: CLARITI may refuse to register any
individual as a User, and may, acting reasonably, restrict, suspend or
terminate (in whole or in part) the permission granted to any User to access
and use the Services. A User’s permission to access or use the Services
will automatically be terminated if Salesforce.com suspends or terminates
the User’s permission to access or use the Apex Platform.
4.3. Accounts/Codes: Accounts and Codes are specific to the User
for whom they are issued and may not be shared with any other person.
Copyright 2020 Clariti Cloud Inc. All rights reserved. 3
Customer will ensure that all Users keep their Codes secure and confidential
at all times and not permit any other person to use their Account or Codes,
and immediately notify CLARITI if they know or suspect that any Account or
Code has become known to or used by any unauthorized person. Customer
is fully responsible and liable for the security of all Customer Codes and all
use and misuse of Customer Codes and Customer Accounts. If CLARITI, in
its discretion, considers a Code to be insecure or to have been used
inappropriately, then CLARITI may immediately cancel the Code without any
notice to Customer, the affected User, or any other person.
4.4. Disclaimer: Codes may not prevent unauthorized access to
Customer Data or other information Customer or Users may use in
connection with the Services. CLARITI is under no obligation to verify the
actual identity or authority of the user of any Codes, Accounts or the
Services, and is not responsible or liable for unauthorized access to the
Services or any unauthorized or alteration, theft or destruction of Customer
Data through accident, fraudulent means or devices, or any other method,
unless the direct result of CLARITI’s actions or gross negligence.
5. Fees
5.1. Fees - General: Customer will pay to CLARITI the applicable fees
(the “Fees”) for the Services as specified in Orders or as otherwise set forth
in this Agreement. If the Fees are not specified in an Order or this
Agreement, they will be based upon the rates in the current schedule of fees
available on CLARITI’s websites (the “Fee Schedule”), which may be
changed by CLARITI in its discretion from time to time. User-based Fees
will be based upon the total number of Users specified in applicable Orders,
whether or not the corresponding Accounts are actively used during the
billing period. All Fees in Orders are annual, and unless otherwise expressly
set forth in an Order, Users added during a billing period will be subject to
payment of Fees on a prorated basis.
5.2. Fees – Data Storage: The Services include an amount of data
storage calculated on a per User basis, as specified in the applicable Order.
If the amount of data storage used by Customer during a billing period
exceeds those limits, Customer will be charged additional Fees based upon
the then current Fee Schedule.
5.3. Fees – Full Sandbox(s): The Services require a 1 Full
SalesForce sandbox be quoted and purchased for the purposes of receiving
ongoing CLARITI updates. The Full Sandbox shall be refreshed to match
the SalesForce production org on a quarterly basis. The Full Sandbox may
be used by other parties, (Customer, CLARITI Partners) for other purposes
with the understanding that they are aware and responsible for preserving
any of their modifications, as the quarterly sandbox refresh will remove those
changes to match the production org.
5.4. Taxes: Fees are exclusive of all applicable federal, state,
provincial, county, municipal and other sales, use, value-added, property,
excise, import, foreign, withholding and other governmental taxes, duties,
charges, levies, fees, excises, tariffs and assessments, of any nature
whatsoever now or hereafter imposed (collectively, “Taxes”). Customer is
solely responsible and liable for, and will pay to CLARITI, all Taxes (other
than corporate income taxes payable by CLARITI) associated with, based
on or due as a result of the Fees, and all related interest, penalties and
expenses.
5.5. Payments: For each Order, CLARITI will prepare and deliver an
invoice to the Customer or Reseller setting out the applicable Fees and
Taxes payable to CLARITI. Each invoice will be due and payable in
accordance with the payment terms and method set forth in the Order or
otherwise agreed to in writing by the Parties. CLARITI may deliver invoices
to Customer by email. If payment is due beyond 45 days in arrears of Term,
CLARITI may cancel Customer licensing.
5.6. Compliance – User Services: - Customer understands that for

and Salesforce.com license capabilities and limitations per Customer Org
that are contractual in nature (e.g., the limit on the number of custom objects
is not limited as a technical matter by the Services) and therefore the
Customer agrees to strictly monitor and manage all System Integrators,
Technical Staff and Users' use of such subscriptions in the Customer Org
and adhere to the capabilities. The subscription capabilities are documented
here Clariti OEM License Comparison and Clariti Platform Limitations.
CLARITI may itself review Customer's use of subscriptions at any time

Reseller will be charged 1.5 times the per-Login price (based on the
“Monthly/Unit Price’ specified in the invoice) for each excess Customer User
login in such fourth month and in each consecutive month thereafter in which
the aggregate number of Customer User logins in the Org exceeds the
Permitted Number of Monthly Logins. Such additional fees will be charged
to Reseller monthly in arrears in accordance with the billing and payment
methods specified above. Unused logins are forfeited at the end of each
month and do not roll over to subsequent months. The beginning and end of
each calendar month will conform to U.S. Pacific Time.

subscriptions through the CLARITI and Salesforce.com Service. Should any
audit reveal any unauthorized use of Services, Customer agrees to pay to

the price charged by CLARITI to Customer for the applicable Service in the
same Org showing unauthorized use (taken as a group), beginning with the

Methodology
Avocette will be observing the Avocette Implementation Methodology (AIM) for the delivery of the project; however, Avocette has found some
additional steps and processes over and above the AIM that allow for the solution to be developed in a more iterative fashion. This approach will
present the user experience early to gain feedback well before being presented in its entirety.
Page 11

Expiration
The scope and terms of this SOW must be executed within thirty (30) calendar days of the initial date (July 2021) of this SOW. If the SOW is not
executed in this time frame, then the current scope and terms can be renegotiated.
Change Request Management
A change request management process will be used to assist with changes in scope, schedule, or resources to ensure that changes are agreed
upon, confirm that a change has occurred, and manage the actual changes when and if they occur. The following formal change request
management process will be used.
Page 13
If either party (Avocette or The City of Santa Ana) identifies a change to project scope, timeline or resourcing, the party identifying the
change must notify the other party’s project manager in writing or email with as much detail as possible.
Both parties will review the change request and discuss it with each other as necessary.
A formal Change Request will be drafted that assesses impacts to cost, schedule, scope, and resources.
A formal Change Request may be agreed to by mutual agreement and signature of the parties.
The format of the Change Request document and the supporting processes, reviews and approvals will be agreed by Avocette and the
City during Project Initiation and documented in the Project Charter.
Project on-Hold
It is understood that the potential exists that priorities for the City could be revised requiring the project to be put on-hold.
The City must send a formal written request to Avocette in order to put the project on hold. A project can be on hold for up to 90 days after which
time, Avocette can choose to cancel the remaining work in the SOW and invoice for all work in progress. Finishing the project will require a new
SOW with revised pricing.
When a project is put on hold, at minimum, Avocette will need to draft a Change Request to keep some of the Avocette project manager’s time
engaged to monitor progress and to resource the project once it comes off hold. The amount of time will be negotiated on a case by case basis.
Other Change Request items may be needed as a result of the delay. When a project goes on hold, project resources will be re-deployed and
Avocette will need a thirty (30) calendar day notice to re-staff the project. Resumption of the project will be dependent upon Avocette resourcing
timelines.
When a project is put on hold due to issues with Avocette or the software solution(s), at minimum, Avocette will need to draft a Change Request to
keep some of the Avocette project manager’s time engaged to monitor progress and to resource the project once it comes off hold. The amount of
time will be negotiated on a case by case basis. Avocette will ensure all required resources are made available to resolve the issue in a timely
fashion and restart the project once the issue is resolved.
Assumptions
This section contains several assumptions upon which Avocette has relied on in agreeing to perform the Services described in this SOW . If any of
these prove to be incorrect, it may cause changes to the project’s schedule, pricing, work product, level of effort required, or otherwise impact
Avocette’s performance of the Services described in this SOW . If this occurs, change requests may be required between the City and Avocette.
Page 14
General Project Assumptions
2..5.1 Scope and Timeline
The City of Santa Ana (the City) and Avocette will review their responsibilities before work begins to ensure that Services can be
satisfactorily completed and in the appropriate timeframe
Scope will be confirmed and finalized during Stage 1 Initiation by the Project Charter
Deliverables not specifically described in this document are the responsibility of the City
“Go live” (system is in production) timeline assumes timely completion of the City deliverables (including finalization of requirements / use
cases / product catalog), availability of key the City resources, and collaboration and availability of any third-party vendor resources. Late
(per mutually agreed project plan) the City deliverables may adversely impact overall implementation timeline.
Overall project plan will be mutually agreed to by the City and Avocette project managers prior to Analysis stage
Avocette will provide the City with a bi-weekly Status Report that outlines the tasks completed during the prior week, the upcoming tasks
that need to be completed for the upcoming weeks and a listing of any issues that may be placing the project at risk (e.g., issues that may
delay the project or jeopardize one or more of the production dates)
The project schedule is managed using Microsoft Project. Should any tasks slip behind schedule ten (10) business days, Avocette and the
City will escalate according to the Communication Plan in the Project Charter
Where a Project Deliverable is comprised of a Document, it will be completed in a format agreed to by the Avocette and the City Project
managers.
Avocette and the City will implement the feature set available in the current Production release at the time of contract signing.
Moving to a new release and/or installing patch upgrades will be managed via the Change Management process.

training decisions are to be made by the project managers and a change order will be required.
The City will provide adequate training rooms/space with sufficient computing capability and network access as needed.
The City project team will provide the necessary staff resources to complete training needs analysis and assist with training planning.
The City is solely responsible for making designated trainees (end-users, , agents, administrators) available for training per the project
schedule. If any designated trainee is not available to participate in scheduled training, Avocette is not responsible for making alternative
arrangements for missed training.
Each agency and departm ent will receive the same core instruction, customized to the division and role.
The City will be responsible for all training logistics, training scheduling, and the printing of training materials.
The City users will have basic computer skills as a prerequisite for training. Avocette is not responsible for an individual’s response to the
training or their capacity to learn or be trained. Specific prerequisite skills include:
End users – proficient in Windows environment and Internet environment, as well as working knowledge of the City business
processes and functions.
Technical staff – in addition to the above skills, technical users should have knowledge of:

2..5.4 Go Live and Go Live Support
“Go Live” definition is that all the Clariti software and is up and running in production. Avocette consulting resources will support the City
after “Go Live” for a period of 33 calendar days. The final invoice will be issued at 33 days after “Go Live”.
2..5.5 Project Completion
The project is complete once the transition to Avocette’s ServicePlus or whichever on going support the City has chosen, has been
completed. If applicable, the specific deliverable acceptance process and financial obligation for “transition to customer support” or
“project completion” will commence on the date of the transition to chosen support program. Transition to ServicePlus will occur once all
High Priority go-live issues have been resolved and all contractual obligations have been met.
Project Resourcing Assumptions
2..6.1 The City of Santa Ana Resourcing
The City will provide a dedicated Project Manager throughout the course of the implementation
The City’s Project Manager will maintain primary responsibility for the scheduling of the City`s employees and facilities in support of project
activities
Page 17
The City have committed to the involvement of key resources and subject matter experts for ongoing participation in all project activities as
defined in the project plan
The City agrees during the Initiation Phase of the project to assign a single designated approver for each major project deliverable. The
designated approver will be responsible for overseeing and/or directly participating in the design and development, as well as the
approval, of the deliverable. the City may make changes to designated approvers with written notification to Avocette a minimum of one
month before a deliverable is due
The City will provide access to subject matter experts and decision makers in a timely fashion.
The City will commit project sponsors and all necessary stakeholders and SME’s during the project kickoff
The City will commit all necessary SME’s and IT personnel during the requirements and design phase for the appropriate sessions as
outlined by the Avocette Project Manager during Kick-Off preparation
2..6.2 Avocette Resourcing
Project Sponsor will attend via telephone, Teams or other collaboration tool.
In its pricing, Avocette has assumed the appropriate resourcing to ensure deployment success for the scope outlined. Avocette will
provide the City the resumes of the identified Avocette resources for the project prior to the start of the project. Significant additional support
requested by the City over this level of resourcing would necessitate a Change Request that could impact the cost of the project.
2..6.3 Third Party Resourcing
Avocette is not responsible for impacts to project timeline created by dependency on any the City third party consultants. Timeline changes
will result in a change request for extension of Avocette project resources caused by the City`s third party consultant actions (including
availability) resulting in additional time or scope
Solution Assumptions
2..7.1 General
For use with Clariti Community Portal, the City will provide/purchase/acquire an online merchant account and all related hardware required
by the merchant account provider for the handling of credit cards.
the City is responsible for proper site preparation, hardware, software, and network configuration in accordance with Clariti specifications.
Page 18
the City will ensure that Avocette resources have access to a Dev or Test version of the 3rd party system for interface development. All
interfaces will be developed against 1 (one), agreed upon version of the 3rd party system.
the City will provide Avocette with access to test and development environments (where available) for each the City systems that require
integration with Clariti Platform.
2..7.2 Data Conversion
The following information provides detail related to the scope of Avocette’s data conversion services. Due to the inherent complexity of
conversion activities, it is critical to address and understand common questions and misconceptions. Any conversion activity or requirement not
included in this section is considered out of scope and may be addressed through a Change Request for Avocette services.
Data Conversion: General Information and Requirements for Conversions
The standard data conversion includes the conversion of active transactional data to the Clariti database when a configured destination
exists. In the event there is no destination record type (section 2.2.1) for legacy transactional data then it will be required to be converted
as best fits into another area of the configuration or excluded from the conversion effort. The decision on the approach for this data is the
responsibility of the City. For all data that requires conversion from SAPIN into the Clariti, a destination record type must be identified in
section 2.21 of this document. Data fields within those record types will be identified during the analysis phase.
Avocette and the City will perform unit testing of the conversion program including spot checks of the data within Clariti in order to identify
if data corruption issues exist. Extensive quality assurance of the converted data by the City is required in order to ensure accurate
transfer of data. Where feasible, control total reports will be built to compare total records from the source system against what has been
converted into the system (e.g. Total number of contacts).
A mutually agreed on and signed off build of configuration must be available before Avocette will begin the data conversion mapping effort.
Avocette will use existing database information as part of developing the To-Be and build configuration documentation to ensure required
data is not missed from data conversion.
Data Conversion Assumptions
“As-Is” Approach: Conversion of transactional tables, Professional License data is executed “As-is” into Clariti. “As-is” means that the
data will be transformed as mapped to existing configuration elements in Clariti. The conversion process will not create configuration
data or alter the mapped data when processed into Clariti. Additionally, this means if invalid, inaccurate, or incomplete data is provided, it
will be loaded into Clariti “As-Is”. All legacy data cleanup and required transformation must occur prior to execution into Clariti. the City
will be required to perform the data cleanup and Avocette will provide support and recommendations as required.
Page 19
Clariti Data Conversion Tools: Data will be mapped and converted utilizing Clariti’s Data Loader or custom Apex code. This will assist
to ensure the accuracy of the mapping. The data mapping tool ensures that the legacy source to Clariti solution is accurate and prevents
data from failing to convert, while the execution tool can be used to consistently run conversion process and track statistics.
Acceptable Data Formats For Conversion: It is expected that the Conversion Source Data be provided in Microsoft SQL Server
database format or CSV. In the event that the source is not in an acceptable format, Avocette will provide recommendations for
transposing the data in the proper format.
Critical Success Factors
The following elements are required for the project to achieve its objectives:
Dedicated Participation – Avocette fully understands that the City staff members have daily responsibilities that will compete with the
amount of time that can be dedicated to the Clariti implementation project. However, it is critical that the City acknowledge that their staff
must be actively involved throughout the entire duration of Services as defined in the Project Plan. Avocette will communicate insufficient
participation of the the City resources through Project Status Reports, as well as the corresponding impact(s). In particular, dedicated the
City participation is expected to include:
Executive Project Sponsorship
Visible, consistent support of the project and project team at the executive sponsorship and management levels
Knowledgeable and committed staff to the project in order to meet the expected goals and timeline
Committed, informed and strong project management and project team that have a thorough understanding of the project objectives
Frequent and regular communication between the Sponsors and the Project Managers
Knowledge Transfer - While Avocette cannot guarantee specific expertise for the City staff as a result of participating in the project,
Avocette will make all reasonable efforts to transfer knowledge to the City, as appropriate. It is critical that the City personnel participate in
the analysis and deployment of Clariti Platform in order to successfully transfer knowledge.
Project Participants
The project participants will be identified and assigned specific roles and responsibilities during the Project Initiation phase. The participants fall
into the following 3 categories:
Page 20
Stakeholders – Internal and external groups or agencies that will be impacted by the project and will need to be represented at various
levels and stages of the project;
the City Project Team – the City business and technical staff assigned tasks within the project and managed by the City Project Manager;
Avocette Project Team – Avocette staff assigned tasks within the projects and managed by the Avocette Project Manager.

THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into on this 1st day of July, 2021, by and between
Avocette Technologies, Inc., a Canadian corporation (“Consultant”), and the City of Santa Ana, a
charter city and municipal corporation organized and existing under the Constitution and laws of
the State of California (“City”).
RECITALS
A. On August 24, 2020, the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP No. 20-108) for an
Enterprise Land management System and Implementation Services. The RFP included
extensive system requirements and objectives that are incorporated herein by this
reference.
B. Consultant represents that Consultant is able and willing to provide support services to
the City for the Clariti Platform Enterprise Land Management System.
C. In undertaking the performance of this Agreement, Consultant represents that it is
knowledgeable in its field and that any services performed by Consultant under this
Agreement will be performed in compliance with such standards as may reasonably be
expected from a professional consulting firm in the field.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual and respective promises, and subject to the
terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the parties agree as follows:
1. SCOPE OF SERVICES
Consultant shall perform during the term of this Agreement, the tasks and obligations

The Term of the Agreement may be extended by a writing executed by the City Manager and City
Attorney.
4. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR
Consultant shall, during the entire term of this Agreement, be construed to be an
independent Consultant and not an employee of the City. This Agreement is not intended nor shall

caused to be prepared by Consultant under this Agreement (“Documents & Data”). Consultant
shall require all subcontractors to agree in writing that City is granted a non-exclusive and
perpetual license for any Documents & Data the subcontractor prepares under this Agreement.
Consultant represents and warrants that Consultant has the legal right to license any and all
Documents & Data. Consultant makes no such representation and warranty in regard to

Service Levels
The following service levels are included with ServicePlus Basic service to achieve the level of support
required for CLIENT’s Clariti environment.
Service levels are divided into five priority levels and are monitored and measured against the service
level commitment as shown below. Avocette uses the following definitions to measure service levels:
• Acknowledge Request is an email from an Avocette representative that confirms that the
request has been received and a ticket number has been assigned in our service request
management system
• Incident Resolution Time is the time from when the incident is reported to the time a work
around or temporary solution has been implemented to address the specific incident.
• Incident Closure is the time from when the incident was reported to the time to hand over for
production deployment with a permanent correction for the incident. If the incident closure
requires an Clariti fix, the Incident Closure times will not apply and will require direct participation
of Clariti which Avocette will assist with.

The above service levels are maintained providing there are hours remaining in the budget. If no hours
remain in the budget service levels will only be maintained with Client authorization and are dependent on
Avocette resource availability.
Exclusions (Service Levels are no longer in effect):
• A ticket is referred to Clariti as a product or SAAS issue
• A ticket relates to CLIENT network or system issues not covered.
• In the event of an external disaster or disruption.
The following are required for Avocette to meet the above service levels:
• CLIENT will provide all required subscription, software and/or hardware licenses required to
support the application.
• The support team will not be on-site at CLIENT’s location and Avocette’s support team will be
able to access the CLIENT network remotely using an SSTP VPN connection to access the
necessary application environments.
Service Level Reporting
Service level reporting is a key means of communication between CLIENT and Avocette. It is a forum to
discuss the performance with respect to service levels, the accomplishments and challenges, and to have
open honest dialog about the service delivery and relationship. It also allows potential risks to be
discussed and addressed proactively. Service level reporting is provided through the Avocette service
manager and as agreed to by the CLIENT. Service level meetings are recommended to review the report
and to have dialog around the service delivery and support relationship.
Service Level Meetings
The following service level meetings will be conducted:
• Weekly Prioritization meeting to review and rank incidents in priority.
• Monthly Planning meeting to assess service request planning, status, priority and actions.
• Annual Service Delivery review meeting to review the previous year and determine what
adjustments are required for the next year.
Attendees will include at least:
• Avocette Service Delivery Manager
• CLIENT Contract Manager
Note: Actual time spent conducting and documenting service level meetings will be charged at the
contract rate.
Note: Avocette Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly and Annual meetings will occur via conference call
unless otherwise requested.
Service Level Report
The service level report is prepared weekly and monthly and will include the following information:
ServicePlus Support Services Agreement

• An itemized list of all active requests/incidents annotated by Avocette ticket number in the current
month and previous month.
• Hourly usage for each ticket in the current month, the previous month and overall.
• The status of each ticket as of the end of the period as well as any information that will assist both
CLIENT and VENDOR in resolving the ticket.
Service Delivery
Service delivery is oriented around two specific processes:
1) Incident Management
a. The handling of Break Fix situations. In CLIENT terminology this is the ‘support’ type of
requests that involve software fixes.
2) Service Request Management
a. The handling of any request that is not expected to result in a software fix. This includes
Maintenance, Enhancement and Operational (non-software related) requests. See
section 2.13 for a list of additional services available.
The following sections will outline all the elements involved in Service Delivery and also walk through the
expected workflow for both Incident Management and Request Management.
Service Request Management
Avocette uses a Service Management system to record and track all incidents and service requests under
this contract. Once submitted, service request management application is used to support incidents and
requests, assign tasks to internal team members and track time spent on specific requests. The features
offered are:
• Application Change Management by logging and tracking requests, bugs, and enhancements by
application and client
• Cross-referencing of incident reports
• Time recording for activities and reporting on effort
• Root Cause capture
• Control of user access to ensure security and privacy
The service request management application is configured for each client and can be modified to
accommodate business related requirements for reporting.
Incident Management
The incident management process occurs when CLIENT has a request to fix a production problem with
your Clariti environment.
The goal of incident management is to:
• Return to the normal service level as soon as possible with the smallest impact on the business
and user.
ServicePlus Support Services Agreement
5
The process is triggered when the authorized CLIENT individual or group makes the request through:
• E-mail to Avocette (for non-emergency items only)
• Phone call to Avocette (for emergency and high priority issues, phone is mandatory)
Incident Management Process
The following describes how Avocette will respond to an incident request. This process can be reviewed
and adjusted if necessary to meet CLIENT’s specific needs. As noted previously, some incident may
require an Clariti fix and in those cases Avocette will support the reporting and communication with Clariti.

Request Management is to keep track of all requests, allow prioritization of the requests, track time spent,
and report on the status of each request. Service request may be raised to address all Priority 3, 4 and 5
incident remediation and resolutions.

Approach to Maintaining Service Levels
Avocette will assign qualified and cross trained resources to the support of the Supported Application
Components. The support team will include a primary and backup resource fully trained in the application
as well as the support procedures necessary to adhere to CLIENT standards. The Service Delivery
Manager will ensure that the backup resource is ready in the event that the primary resource is
unavailable for any reason. The primary goal is to ensure that service levels are maintained regardless of
the individual schedules of the support team.
In addition, the Avocette Service Desk is provided with primary and backup resource contact information
and will be kept informed when the primary resource is unavailable.
Cross training of the backup resources will be provided as part of initial transition to support and will occur
annually thereafter as a refresher.
Avocette will maintain a repository for information, materials and details pertaining to support of the
Supported Application Components (Knowledge Management). This will also include details on the
specific CLIENT policies and procedures that will apply to this support service.
The Service Delivery Manager will ensure that there is adequate coverage during any absences or
traditional vacation periods (Christmas Holidays) and will also communicate any upcoming absences to
CLIENT during the service level report meetings.
In the event of a disaster in the Avocette Offices, CLIENT will be notified immediately, provided direct
contact phone numbers for the support team, and support resources will work from home.
Facilities and Equipment Requirements
CLIENT is not required to provide any permanent desk or office space. However, Avocette may require
access to a drop in station at CLIENT from time to time during onsite visits. Avocette resources will
require remote access into the CLIENT environment using a secure VPN or similar connection.

contractors.
• Serve as an advisor for the City to support communication with leadership and key stakeholders,
including input for staff reports and constituent communications.
2. LMS Implementation Advisory Services

• Effectively communicate with project team members and stakeholders in a timely fashion and on an
ongoing basis.
• Review project plans and project timelines and milestones provided by the project team.

and/ or incurred travel costs. In the event an onsite meeting is required, City will notify PCG.
