that cause the payment to be late; or
(2) There is a bona fide dispute between Consultant and a subcontractor or
between a subcontractor and its supplier about the goods delivered or the
service performed that causes the payment to be late; or

on the purchase order relating to the payment.
(3)

shall be compensated in accordance with the terms hereof for work accomplished prior to the
receipt of said notice of termination. Consultant shall not be entitled to any lost or anticipated
profits for work terminated under this Agreement. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement,

reasonably organized form without restriction on future use. Should the City subsequently
contract with a new consultant for continuation of service on the project, Consultant shall
cooperate in providing information.

deems unsatisfactory or which is not performed in compliance with the terms of this Agreement.

the Party provides the other Party with written notice of such default and the other fails to
satisfactorily cure such default within ten (10) business days of receipt of such notice (or a
greater time if agreed upon between the Parties).
If default results in termination of this Agreement, then the City shall give consideration
to the actual costs incurred by Consultant in performing the work to the date of default. The cost
of the work that is useable to the City, the cost to the City of employing another firm to complete
the useable work, and other factors will affect the value to the City of the work performed at the
time of default. Neither party shall be entitled to any lost or anticipated profits for work
terminated for default hereunder.
The termination of this Agreement for default shall extinguish all rights, duties, and
obligations of the terminating Party and the terminated Party to fulfill contractual obligations.
Termination under this section shall not relieve the terminated party of any obligations or
liabilities which occurred prior to termination.
Nothing contained in this section shall require the City to pay for any work which it
deems unsatisfactory, or which is not performed in compliance with the terms of this Agreement.

and would now like to migrate to a single ERP system which includes the Finance portion of their
operations and have chosen MUNIS for that purpose. They would like to migrate the information with
the best speed and accuracy they can with a full go -live date set for April 2014; prior to that will be two
major exports/loads of data.
The provided documentation does not detail the process sufficiently to make an accurate estimate of
the amount of effort that will be required. Generally there are 3 major activities that are needed to be
performed for a successful migration: extract, transform and Toad. It is assumed that Echelon will be
responsible for the first action only which is extract but the transform and loading process will be done
by MUNIS. Extraction is the process by which the information is taken out of the source system in this
case ePersonality. Transformation is modifying the data to match the data types, lengths, coding, etc. of
the target system without losing the "meaning" of the source information. When dealing with payroll
information this can get quite complex as there are subtleties in how some payroll information is
handled by different payroll systems and MUNIS may not be familiar with how ePersonality codes its
payroll especially when it comes to historical data movements.
Assumptions
The following assumptions and restrictions have been used in analyzing this work:
(a) Due to the complex nature of conversion a specific estimate cannot be made and so this
proposal only provides a rough estimate and the actual amount may vary and will be billed by
the number of actual hours worked
(b) All years of information will be converted even though generally only 3 years is recommended
as the additional years may be connected to older information requiring more effort to convert
and increasing the amounts estimated here. This proposal assumes that older data will not
require an additional amount of mapping or extraction work compared to the more recent 3
years of data.
(c) Extracts into comma separated files with a data dictionary will be sufficient for MUNIS to
perform their Toads
Conversions Required
The following table summarizes the conversions required and provides a rough order of magnitude
estimate of the effort required to complete the conversions. Note that if additional effort is required for
the transformations or data cleansing needed by MUNIS these estimates will rise accordingly.
Employee Master Data including: name, address, SSN,
legacy employee ID, date of birth, hire date,
termination date, active status, termination codes (will
need mapping), degrees (mapping), advice -delivery
(mapping), check location, leave code (mapping), job
(mapping), group (mapping), position (mapping),
location (mapping) and account information,
dependents, emergency contacts. Employees both
current and terminated will be converted.

Employee Deductions including employee ID,
deductions codes, tax information, direct deposit,
sundries and garnishments (unknown number so rough
estimate)
22 hours
$2420
Employee Accruals — including vacation, holiday and
leave balances (unknown number so rough estimate) —
not including any history

$1650
Employee Accumulators — documentation implies some
difficult mapping may need to be done for this. Unclear
if tax and retirement grosses will be converted or done
by MUNIS — assuming not done in conversion.

Employee Check History—generally a complex
conversation due to all the mappings required.
Assuming Tess than 3 years of conversion.
28 hours
$3080
Employee Earnings and Deductions History — issue
tends to be with the use of elements. PC codes need to
be sorted into earnings and deductions and then
summarized for the conversion which is additional
work. Assume less than 3 years of history.

Applicant Tracking — assume no conversion
No conversion
Employee Personnel Action History — this estimate
could vary greatly due to the use of "strings" instead of
codes in the eP personnel action history. Assuming all
can be converted without mapping codes, ie. MUNIS
can accept the existing codes and not need to create a

full new set.
Position Control — direct conversion of the eP position
hierarchy with limited mapping required into MUNIS
codes by omitting the conversion of difficult items.
No conversion
Employee State Retirement
No conversion
Employee Certifications
No conversion
Employee Education — basic conversion with limited
mappings
