UNISYS
Attachment 1 Infrastructure Support Services (ISS)
Unisys has proposed our Infrastructure Support Services (ISS) Solution as a more
cost effective alternative to the resale of Cisco SMARTnet to meet the City's
Network Backbone Maintenance Requirements. The Unisys support
methodology is described below:
• Requests for service will be placed directly with the Unisys Call
Reception Center (CRC) who will either engage the Unisys Customer
Support Center (CSC) for troubleshooting or immediately dispatch a
Unisys engineer and parts to provide onsite remedial maintenance
services, depending on the request.
• Status updates can be received by the City by either utilizing the
Unisys Support Online web access tool or via telephone inquiry to the
Unisys CRC.
• Unisys staffs its CSC with Cisco certified experts who serve as a Cisco
TAC agent. In the event the CSC identifies the need for development
level support, direct communication between the City and the Cisco
TAC will be initiated for that advanced support.
• Unisys will utilize a combination of Unisys owned inventory and
locally owned Cisco inventory to achieve the service level agreements
identified by the City.
• Unisys will provide performance reporting directly to the City.
• Unisys will provide Customer Connection Online (CCO) access
service through Partner Initiated Customer Access (PICA) which gives
the City:
Industry -leading technical assistance tools that help solve
problems on line.
— Access to the Troubleshooting Assistant, which uses a fast,
easy -to -understand Internet interface that helps resolve
networking problems end to end.
Access to the Open Q&A Forum for database searches and
quick answers to technical questions.
- Access to literature about Cisco products and services to help
build internetworking expertise.
• The City's user profile can be created by the Unisys PICA
administrator to grant access to any or all of the following optional
services through CCO:
- Software Center —can include access to downloadable software
updates, the software bug toolkit, software release notes, and
other software information.
- Technical Assistance Center (TAC)—provides assistance with
complex technical questions.

- Configuration tool —an interactive feature that lets users search
for configurable Cisco products, create product configurations
on line, and forward the configurations by e-mail or fax.
- Lead Times tool —allows users to view product lead times.
- Pricing tool —enables users to check the current retail price list
to determine the estimated cost of items they wish to purchase.
- Order Status tool —allows users to view the status of orders
their Cisco partner has placed on their behalf.
- Product Upgrade tool — users can order upgrades based on the
selections of their Cisco partner's PICA Administrator.
Methodology for Coordinating Services
The proposed Unisys methodology for coordinating services and other support
activities with the City of Miami is defined in our Project Management Office
(PMO) approach documented in Attachment 2. The Unisys PMO will be
responsible for all aspects of Unisys services delivery, including service
performance and project status review meetings, problem escalation and
resolution, and the overall change management process, which is described
further in Atttachment 3
The Unisys Program Manager (PM) will schedule joint communication and status
review meetings with the City of Miami. The purpose of these meetings will be
to communicate program status and address program issues. The status review
meetings will be held at a predefined mutually agreed timeframe and will include,
at a minimum, the following topics: (1) high-level overview of Service Level
performance; (2) review of significant events; (3) review of the City of
Miami/Unisys partnership; (4) review of City of Miami strategic direction; (5)
Unisys corporate update; and (6) next steps. At a minimum the Unisys Project
Manager, Client Service Representation and the local sales executive will attend
all status review meetings. Occasionally, Unisys will invite a network subject
matter expert to attend the status review meetings to discuss specific relevant
topics with the City of Miami Staff.
The suggested schedule for status review meetings are as follows:
• Initial Kick -Off Meeting- To be scheduled immediately after contract
signing to plan and coordinate activities, identify issues and discuss
City's plan for future network requirements.
• Monthly Status Review Meetings -Monthly meetings will be scheduled
the first 6 months to monitor on -going activities, identify and correct
issues, and plan for future network requirements.
• Quarterly Status Review Meetings -After a mutually agreed upon
timeframe, Status Review Meetings may be scheduled quarterly.

Service Level Agreements
• Unisys Infrastructure Support Services will provide the required 2-
hour response and 4-hour restore service 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week, 365 days a year for level one equipment.
• Unisys will provide the required next business day restore services
through our Infrastructure Support Services for level two equipment.
• Unisys will provide the required parts stocking program to provide for
parts availability within 4 hours for level one equipment and by end of
the next business day for level two equipment
• Unisys will oversee the service request call flow and Unisys CSC
remote troubleshooting process to enable on -site service request
dispatches for more than hardware -related causes, including external
factors. The Unisys PMO will monitor call activity and bring to the
City of Miami's attention excessive on -site service activity (as jointly
defined by Unisys and the City) due to external factors and any
problems requiring troubleshooting beyond what Unisys believes is
reasonable and invoke the change management process defined in
Attachment 3.
• Unisys will provide timely software updates in consultation with the
City for the covered equipment at no additional charge.
• Unisys will recommend updates to improve the level of performance,
security, and compatibility and will project manage the
implementation of updates after review and written approval by the
City according to the project management and change management
procedures documented in Attachment 2 and 3, respectively.
• Unisys Infrastructure Services coverage includes the services of on -
site repair or replacement of covered, defective equipment at no
additional charge to the City of Miami, including shipping.
• The Unisys CSC provides consultation at no charge for covered
network backbone equipment topics as part of the Infrastructure
Support Services agreement.
• The Unisys PMO will administer the equipment manufacturer's
maintenance coverage for the City of Miami during the agreement
period, including renewals, upgrades, cancellations, new subscriptions,
and reporting requirements
• Unisys will review the City's network documentation and topology
within 10 days of contract award to be able to offer prompt solutions
to backbone issues and questions.
• Unisys will electronically transmit network infrastructure

built documentation package, which will also include configuration
files and materials lists. Our network consultants will red -line or mark
up existing City network diagrams when hard copy is the only current
network documentation. Unisys has included a network assessment in
our proposed price to document the current state of the network when
our services begin.
- In the support of new installations, updates, or switch of
equipment between sites, the Unisys PMO will capture this
information. That data capture process will include updating
the network diagrams
- Unisys will provide a technician on -site for 8 hours weekly at
no additional cost to the City.
• Unisys will comply with the security requirements as documented in
Section 2.12.10 of the RFP. Our employees will review and sign a
non -disclosure policy to be provided by the City of Miami.
Methodology for Troubleshooting
• When the City Network Operations Center (NOC) or the City support
team identifies a problem or detects an alarm through your network
management system, the City NOC will analyze the situation and will
try to resolve the problem internally.
• If it is determined that a device has a hardware problem, the City will
contact the Unisys CSC through Support On -Line, or by telephone to
the Unisys Call Reception Center. The service request will need to
include a description of the failure as well as the model and location of
the equipment.
• The Unisys Service Request Management System (SRMS) will
provide a unique tracking number for the request. The City may
obtain real-time call status using the tracking number via Support On -
Line or the Call Reception Center. With our flexible systems we can
tie the tracking number to the City internal ticket number.
• The CSC analyst may work with the City to dial in to the device or use
other means to remotely diagnose the problem. The CSC has full
access to Cisco's TAC in the event Cisco involvement is required.
• If the City and the CSC analyst are successful in solving the problem
remotely the service request will be closed.
• If the CSC determines that a CSR, part, and/or whole unit replacement
is required they will dispatch a CSR and/or part through SRMS.
• The Unisys Action Center will immediately see the service request has
been routed to the CSR in SRMS and performs a tactical function to
facilitate the restore. The Action Center will process the service part

UNISYS
requirement, select the part from the best available location and
dispatch a Unisys CSR andlor part to the City site.
• The CSR and/or part will arrive at the site and follow the mutually
agreed upon the City & Unisys service process. The CSR will use
tools and test equipment as necessary to facilitate the repair. This may
include enabling the equipment for remote diagnostics with the
modem from the support kit. The CSR will contact the City Network
Operation Center to verify the equipment is repaired prior to departing
the site.
• The CSR will pack the defective part and take it to the Unisys parts
facility for return to the appropriate party.
• The Unisys Account Team will manage the entire process to ensure
timely restoration of the failed device and manage all escalations.
• The Unisys Account Team will provide service delivery reporting on a
calendar month basis.
- The SRMS captures the exact time and date the ticket was
opened, the ticket was closed, a chronology of all actions
performed in the process of resolving the problem, and the
serial number and model number of all parts replaced or
repaired.
- A rolling history of 13 months records of events is available to
the City via Support Online, and older records andlor reports
are available upon request through the Unisys PMO installation
history.
• IOS Software Update Service
The City of Miami will be given access on demand to the software image section
of the CCO access service, which will allow them to download the latest versions
of the licensed IOS in use at their location. This service, which Unisys is able to
provide via Cisco's Partner Initiated Customer Access (PICA) program, enables
clients to keep their IOS at the desired level. New releases of the licensed feature
set also will become available at no additional cost. At the time of termination of
this agreement, for those devices for which a valid license has been acquired, the
City of Miami will be licensed, subject to Cisco licensing policies in the PICA
program, to utilize the downloaded IOS versions downloaded during the term of
this agreement for each device covered under this agreement.

UNISYS
Unisys Pricing Assumptions
1. Unisys price is based on a minimum 36 month term.
2. Unisys price is good for 90 calendar days from the date of this
proposal.
3. Cisco model WS-C2912-XL-EN will be End -Of -Life (EOL) on
November 1, 2006. Support will cease at that time. It is
recommended that replacement be accomplished prior to EOL, to
ensure continued services.
4. No newly installed equipment will be removed from contract within
the first calendar year of maintenance coverage for that
specified/added equipment; any early withdrawal penalties assessed by
the manufacturer will be passed onto the City of Miami for equipment
removed within the first calendar year of service contract coverage.
5. All equipment and services specified will be included in the awarded
contract to Unisys; Unisys reserves the right to reprice its "Cost of
Maintenance Not Including Manufacturer's Coverage" pricing
component if all of the specified equipment and services are not
awarded for contract with Unisys.
6. 24 x 7 x 2 SNTP is not available in Miami.
7. Pricing in attachment F is good for the 3-year term with no annual
adjustments or increases. All subsequent Cisco equipment additions to
the service contract will be priced at the same relative price structure at
the time of equipment addition for Unisys ISS — this equates to a 30%
discount from Cisco SMARTnet Onsite list price.
8. As the incumbent at the City of Miami, Unisys is able to provide the
City the advantage of a pre-existing fee structure for the services and
parts that Cisco provides as part of the Unisys solution. That fee
structure is lower than what would be established by a new service
provider. That pre-existing advantage will end in 2006. As a result,
there is a subset of equipment pricing that will increase, as the Cisco
support fees will be increasing in years 4 and 5 of this contract term.
Those items are detailed in Appendix F as part of the Unisys pricing
exhibit.
Otherwise, Unisys will honor the same pricing for same models of
equipment throughout the life of the contract and extension periods.
9. The Unisys PMO will coordinate quarterly invoicing as required by
the City of Miami.
10. The Unisys PMO will coordinate the requested removal of equipment
by the City of Miami and prorate the service charges accordingly.

UNISYS
Any early cancellation fees that Unisys assesses for equipment
removed before the first full year of coverage under an Infrastructure
Support Services agreement in the prorated calculations and show
them in the subsequent billing period.
11. All modifications to the equipment manufacturers' maintenance
coverage will require written advance approval from the City of
Miami.
12. Unisys will provide installation services as a separate, billable project
on definition by the City of Miami of complete service scope
requirements.
13. Unisys will be provided as a separate billable project based on Unisys
and the City of Miami developing a specific scope of requirements for
Disaster Recovery Planning, Network IMACD Support, Network
Management and Network Assessment, Planning and Design.
14. The following options have been included in the pricing as described
in Attachment F:
- Network diagrams specific to the RFP: included as part of the
Unisys service implementation process.
- 8 hours of on -site network technical assistance.
- Identification of current configurations: included as part of the
Unisys service implementation process.
Hardware installation requirements included as part of the
Unisys service implementation process.

Attachment 3—Change Request and Issue Resolution Processes
The Change Request Process is designed to manage changes to the services
provided under this agreement. No change shall be effective until both parties
have agreed in writing to the change.
The Change Request Process implements any change in the scope of the
agreement.. This process, which applies to changes requested by the City of
Miami or Unisys, is used to modify the Services enterprise environment.
Management of this process is the responsibility of the PMO, which has primary
responsibility for contract delivery. Specific procedures associated with the
Change Request Process are triggered upon submission of an approved Change
Request Form as illustrated in Appendix F to the UPE. The UPE will log all
changes to this agreement in the Change Control Log as the permanent record of
change request status and approved changes to this agreement. Any such change,
unless specifically stated within this agreement, may be subject to a mutually
agreed upon pricing adjustment.
Either the City of Miami or Unisys may request modifications to the services
environment defined under this agreement, including the scope of work,
deliverables, special projects or tasks, milestones, or Service Levels. Unisys will
evaluate the impact of the Change Request, and provide an initial response to the
request within 5 business days of receipt. In cases involving significant changes,
or if evaluation of a Change Request requires more than three -person -days of
effort to evaluate and propose a solution, Unisys will advise the City of Miami of
this condition and whether Unisys will require further evaluation.
Upon Change Request approval and if Unisys requires further formal evaluation,
the City of Miami will issue a purchase order for the agreed -upon cost, if
applicable, for performing the evaluation, and said order will be under the terms
and conditions of the Agreement. If Unisys is engaged to perform further formal
evaluation, Unisys's response to a Change Request will contain the impact of the
change on various portions of this agreement, including identifying and
quantifying changes in services, Service Levels, schedules, and/or price. Unisys
will also indicate alternate solutions where possible. The City of Miami will
advise Unisys within thirty (30) business days of whether it wishes to proceed
and, if so, shall authorize any necessary additional funding. In the event no such
authorization is received, the requested Change Request will be treated as
withdrawn.
Unisys will monitor all approved changes through completion, adjust any baseline
documents as necessary, obtain approvals, and close the request upon completion.
Until agreement can be reached on the implementation of the requested change, or
if agreement cannot be reached, Services activities will continue to be performed
in accordance with the existing terms and conditions of this agreement. If
