ServicePlus++ AS AND WHEN Service Desk hours: 9:00 – 17:00 PST Monday to Friday exclusive of Statutory Holidays 1.1 Service Levels The following service levels are included with ServicePlus++ AS AND WHEN service in order to achieve the level of support required for CLIENT’s Accela 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 (defined in section 2.1); 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 Accela fix, the Incident Closure times will not apply and will require direct participation of Accela which Avocette will assist with. 3 ServicePlus++ ™ AS AND WHEN service levels Priority Definition Ac k n o w l e d g m e n t Re s o l u t i o n Ti m e Cl o s u r e Priority 1 Service Disruption for major applications/systems and/or has major impact on business operations and/or impacts external customers Guideline – has significant business impact.

Additional work needed to perform some functions. Service Request may be raised for incident remediation and resolution (refer section 2.1 for Service Request process). < 5 Business days Priority 3, 4 and 5 Service Levels are dependant on Avocette resource availability. The following are required in order 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. 1.2 Service Level Reporting (optional for As and When) 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. 1.2.1 Service Level Meetings The following service level meetings are optional under AS AND WHEN service but Avocette recommends that they 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. 5 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. 1.2.2 Service Level Report The service level report is prepared weekly and monthly and will include the following information: 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. b.In the event of a Priority 1 or 2 incident, Avocette resources will be required to attend the Incident Report Meeting that will be scheduled by CLIENT within 48 hours of the incident. 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 5 for a list of optional 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. 1.3 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: 6 Application Change Management by logging and tracking requests, bugs, and enhancements by application and client Automatic email notifications within Avocette Systems for: new incidents; closed incidents; Escalations; Priority changes; Remediation, Resolution or Recovery; and Task Assignments 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. CLIENT will be defined along with the details necessary to provide the reporting and incident management required to meet CLIENT Service Level reporting needs. 1.4 Incident Management The incident management process occurs when CLIENT has a request to fix a production problem with your Accela environment. The goal of incident management is to: Maintain service level objectives; and Return to the normal service level as soon as possible with the smallest impact on the business and user. The process is triggered when the authorized CLIENT individual or group makes the request through: Entry into the Cherwell Service Request Management System E‐mail to Avocette (for non‐emergency items only) Phone call to Avocette (for emergency and high priority issues, phone is mandatory) 1.4.1 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 Accela fix and in those cases Avocette will support the reporting and communication with Accela. 7 Avocette Application Management CL I E N T Av o c e t t e 1.1 Request Support 1.2 Acknowledge Request 1.3 Create Incident Receive Acknowledge‐ ment Update Request 1.5 Resolve issue within SLA 1.4 Assign Team Resources 1.7 Recover Application 1.6b Approve Closure Phone/Email Priority 1 or 2?Warm HandoffYes No Email/Phone Acknowledgement Application Recovered? Yes No 1.6a Request Closure Figure 1: Procedure for Incident Management. Task # Task Actor(s) 1.1 The CLIENT point-of-contact or Customer Service Center contacts the Avocette Service Desk via toll-free telephone number or email address. CLIENT application point- of-contact 1.2 All contacts are acknowledged upon receipt. Acknowledgement can be through email or by phone. In the event an incident is submitted which in the judgement of the service desk should be a level 1 or 2 incident the service desk will acknowledge by phone and recommend an upgrade of the incident priority. Avocette Service Desk 1.3 Avocette Service Desk creates a ticket for the request, assigning the request to Avocette’s primary support person and Service Delivery Manager. Automatic email notifications are generated and sent to the Avocette Service Manager. Avocette Service Desk 1.4 If the request is a priority 1 or 2, the Avocette Service Desk speaks to the support resource and Service Delivery Manager directly to ensure the request is received in a timely manner (i.e., warm handover). CLIENT and Avocette’s managers are informed of priority 1 and priority 2 requests. The Service Delivery Manager liaises with the primary resource to coordinate a solution, and may approach service manager to assign additional support team resources to recover and resolve the issue. Avocette Support Team 1.5 The support team works to recover the issue within the service levels. This may involve working directly with CLIENT staff to provide access to data, database logs, performance data, etc., in order to resolve the incident. The support team promotes the fix to the CLIENT environment and completes the necessary requests to migrate to production. Avocette Support Team 1.6a If resolution of the issue provides recovery of the application, the Service Delivery Manager will seek approval from CLIENT to close the request. CLIENT point-of- contact 8 Task # Task Actor(s) 1.7 If resolution of the issue does not also provide recovery of the application, the support team will work to complete the long-term solution to the issue. Avocette Application Support Team 1.6b Avocette obtains approval from the CLIENT point-of-contact to close the request. The incident is only considered closed once it is successfully deployed to production and verified as being resolved by the CLIENT point-of-contact. CLIENT point-of- contact 1.5 Request Management Avocette’s request management services support the management of service requests. This includes requests for maintenance, enhancements or other operational (non‐software) requests. The goal of 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. 1.5.1 Request Management Process The following describes how Avocette will respond to a service request. Figure 2: Procedure for Maintenance, Enhancement and Operational Requests Task # Task Actor(s) 1.1 The CLIENT point‐of‐contact creates the initial service request by documenting the specific request and sending this to the Avocette’s Service Desk by sending an email. A template is used to document the Service Request. This will be logged if not already initiated as a service request and assigned to the service delivery manager to assess. CLIENT application point‐of‐ contact 1.2 The Service Delivery Manager will coordinate the team to assess the Service Request, complete the request with impacts and estimates, and return the Avocette Support Team 9 Task # Task Actor(s) service request to CLIENT for approval. The development of the service request may involve collaboration between CLIENT and Avocette to ensure the requirements are understood and impacts accurately accounted for. CLIENT will review and approve the Service Request. CLIENT 1.3 The service delivery manager will then schedule the work to be completed based on the agreed timeline expectations in the service request. Avocette Support Team 1.4 The service request is executed and the deliverables provided to CLIENT. Avocette Support Team 1.5 CLIENT will review the deliverables and complete any necessary user acceptance testing before giving the approval to proceed to production or accept the deliverable. CLIENT Service Requests must be approved and signed by the CLIENT Contract Manager and Avocette’s Client Manager before any work proceeds. 1.6 Approach to Maintain 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. 10 1.7 Facilities and Equipment Requirements CLIENT is not required to provide any permanent desk or office space.
