GENERAL PROVISIONS:
1. THE YEAR 2000
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the
output from the Project Definition Study or in Unisys' original tender, it
is understood and agreed by the Contractor and Unisys that, while any
software supplied by the Contractor will be Year 2000 Compliant (as defined
below), the Contractor will not be responsible for any third party software
that is not Year 2000 Compliant, or for any information received by or in
the Child Support system which is not Year 2000 Compliant. Without
limiting the foregoing, if any information received by or on the Child
Support System, by whatever means, is not year 2000 Compliant, Unisys
acknowledges that the Contractor shall not be responsible for such failure
is caused in any way by such non-compliant information. For the purposes
of this provision, 'Year 2000 Compliant' means hardware or software which:
(a) will handle date information before, during and after 1 January 2000
including but not limited to accepting date input, providing date
output and performing calculations on dates or portions of date;
(b) will function accurately and without interruption before, during and
after 1 January 2000 without any change in operations associated
with the event of the new century;
(c) will respond to two digit and cure date input in a way that resolves
the ambiguity as to the century in a disclosed, defined and
predetermined manner, and will store and provide output of date
information in ways that are unambiguous as to the century.
2. LOCATION OF THE SITE
The Child Support System will be developed at the ATO Offices in Canberra. The
System may be used from all offices of the CSA.
20
<PAGE>
3. DESIGNATED OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
The current system uses 100 MIPS of processing capacity and 80 gigabytes
of disc storage. The CSA is expecting a growth rate of 10-15% per year
over the next 5 to 6 years (see the detailed Specifications in the RFT).
It is essential that the final capacity required by the redeveloped Child
Support Computer System will not be greater than that of the current
system plus expected growth. The Contractor agrees it will make all
reasonable efforts to contain the systems to be developed within the
constraints stated. In the event that this proves impossible the
Contractor will discuss and agree with Unisys and CSA ways in which the
scope or system structure could be varied to enable the contract to be
met. Where the execution of such a variation which is agreed to by CSA
would lead to additional costs to Unisys and/or the Contractor then the
contract change control procedures will apply.
4. PREPARATION OF INVOICES BY CONTRACTOR
With the exception of the initial mobilization fee, an invoice may only
be presented after a part of the Project required to complete a
deliverable has been accepted by CSA or CSA is required to make some
payment that is not dependent upon acceptance.
5. DOCUMENTATION
(i) As part of the Child Support System the Contractor will develop:
. a set of technical Documentation to facilitate the future development
and maintenance of the Child Support System by a technically competent
third party
(ii) Documentation will be produced in a way that facilitates:
. it being made available electronically and in hard copy; and
. it being updated easily to take account of changes:
- in management and procedures within the Child Support Agency, and
- to the software.
(iii) Documentation will be accepted as part of each deliverable of the Project
where applicable.
6. TRAINING AND SKILLS TRANSFER
The Contractor will make every reasonable effort to ensure that at the
conclusion of the Project there will be an in house skills capacity,
within the CSA organization sufficient to maintain and enhance the system
as developed during
21
<PAGE>
the Project. This capacity will be developed in consultation between
Unisys and CSA based upon the principles set out in Deliverable 5.1 (Skills
Transfer Strategy).
Unisys may, at the request of the Contractor and following agreement by the
CSA, assign personnel to work with and for the Contractor. These personnel
will be sought and selected according to the processes described and
defined in Deliverable 5.1 of the Project Definition Study.
A strategy will be developed as part of the Project to train CSA staff so
that they may make best use of the System developed during the Project (See
Deliverable 5.3 Training Strategy).
7. WARRANTY PERIOD
The Contractor will provide warranty services for the Child Support System
for a period of 3 months from the acceptance of the last part of the
System.
8. SERVICE PERFORMANCE FACTORS
The following material will be used to measure performance during the
Warranty Period from the completion of Part 1.
(a) The system as a whole will be developed in components: the components
will collectively comprise the system. Components will be either:
(i) business critical: business critical components are those
components which prevent the Customer from carrying on their core
business; or
(ii) business non-critical: business non-critical components are
components which are not business critical.
(b) CSA will maintain their own help desk and will prioritise problems
prior to requesting service from the Contractor.
(c) Contractor problem-resolution staff will be dedicated to CSA.
(d) Problems with components will be classified as follows:
22
<PAGE>
Fatal Entire application component is inoperable by all users
meaning that the business processes supported by that
component cannot be carried out
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Severe The application component has limited operability and
there is negative impact on the business processes
supported by that component
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Minor The application component does not operate to agreed
specification although business processes supported by
the component are not significantly affected.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(e) The classification of a given problem will be agreed between Unisys
and the Contractor. The Contractor will have responsibility only for
those factors affecting the problem which the Contractor has
developed. Following agreement of the classification the following
process will be adopted for resolution:
(i) the problem will be fixed as soon as is practicable;
(ii) if the problem will not be fixed immediately then, wherever
possible, a work-around will be defined or developed as soon as
is practicable.
(f) In any event the Contractor will fix the problem in a resource
effective manner, where resources includes time, the use of CSA
computer time and the involvement of CSA staff and users.
9. REBATE AMOUNT
In the event that the Contractor does not during the warranty period
commence the rectification of a problem for which it is responsible within
a timely manner, then Unisys shall be entitled to engage a third party to
rectify the problem, and Unisys shall be given a rebate equal to the
reasonable costs incurred of having to engage a third party to rectify the
problem. The severity of the problem may also be taken into account in any
calculation involving warranty work, but no such amount will be payable
where the Contractor rectifies the problem in a timely manner.
10. PRIVACY
All staff of the Contractor required to perform duties on CSA's premises
are required to complete a Commonwealth Security declaration form and a
Privacy Deed.
23
<PAGE>
Access to the CSA's premises including the Site is controlled by the CSA
Security. Contractors passes will be issued for individual staff members
on completion of the CSA security checks.
11. SPECIAL LEGISLATION
The Contractor shall make their staff involved in the Project aware of the
terms of the secrecy provisions in Section 16 of the Child Support Act and
Income Tax Assessment Act; and obtain from them a secrecy declaration in
the appropriate format. The Contractor understands that other agencies
such as the Department of Social Security have similar secrecy
requirements. If the Contractor's staff are likely to have access to that
type of material the Contractor undertakes to inform persons of the
relevant requirements.
12. LIABILITY
The Contractor's Liability is limited to 2 times the Contractor's share of
the total CSA Contract value.
13. ACQUISITION OF HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE
The Contractor does not need to acquire any software or hardware for the
purposes of this Project.
