5. YEAR 2000 CONSIDERATIONS
5.1. Client acknowledges that there are certain
inadequacies and deficiencies in its hardware, software
and systems with respect to the Year 2000 which, if
left unaddressed, have the potential to cause adverse
consequences to Client in the form of business losses,
claims, damages or liability to third parties. Client has
engaged Whittman-Hart to perform Year 2000 services
to assist Client in the process of addressing and
correcting such inadequacies and deficiencies.
Responsibility for achieving the objectives of Client's
Year 2000 goals, however, shall remain at all times
with Client. It is the express intention of Client, and
the basis upon which Whittman-Hart is undertaking to
perform such Year 2000 services, that Client's risk of
adverse consequences in connection with Year 2000
problems shall remain at all times with Client and shall
not shift to Whittman-Hart by reason of Whittman-
Hart's performance of Year 2000 services hereunder.
5.2. The success of the Year 2000 services is
dependent upon many factors that are outside of
Whittman-Hart's control. Such factors include, but are
not limited to: (i) whether hardware, software and
systems external to the Applications handle dates
appropriately and in a manner consistent with the
implementation of date-handling procedures for the
Applications; (ii) whether data used by the
Applications is accurately entered in a manner
consistent with the Applications' date-processing
characteristics; (iii) whether the information provided
to Whittman-Hart regarding the hardware and software
components of the Applications and their date-
handling characteristics (including information
obtained from third parties) is materially accurate and
complete; and (iv) whether Client has provided
Whittman-Hart with the support Whiman-Hart
requires to perform its work effectively. The success
of Whittman-Hart's work will also depend on the
actions and omissions of Client's employees,
representatives, vendors and other contractors,
including such contractors engaged by Client to
perform services related to the Year 2000. Client
acknowledges and assumes the risk that unexpected
problems or events may adversely impact Whittman-
Hart's ability to adhere to previously provided
schedules and cost estimates.
5.3. Whittman-Hart shall be entitled to rely, without
audit, review or verification on representations from
third party vendors of hardware or software
components of the Applications concerning the date-
handling characteristics of those components and their
compliance and manner of compliance with Year 2000
requirements and standards. Whittman-Hart will not
be required to conform or coordinate the date-handling
2
features of the Applications with any hardware,
software, systems, communications media or data
external to the Applications. Whittman-Hart will not
be required to remedy Year 2000 compliance problems
in third party hardware or software components.

City of Carmel Year 2000 Assessment Project
Project Charter
Project scope ....
The City of Carmel is currently in the preliminary planning stages of Year 2000 Compliance
and Remediation analysis and readiness. The Information Technology department at Carreel
is relatively new as a separate entity and supports the NT and UNIX platforms. Other areas of
concern specific to the City of Carmel include:
· Public Safety deployed components with embedded chips
· Public Utilities specialty equipment
· I/T components
· Voice systems
· Finance and Administration applications
· Infrastructure
· Public Sector partners
· External Agents
This proposal addresses the Year 2000 Planning and Remediation project(s). Specific to the
Year 2000 Project, Whittman-Hart will supply services required to complete the project tasks
divided into multiple phases; to include (1) an initial Assessment, (2) subsequent Analysis,
and (3) development of Recommendations.
The objective of the project's Assessment phase is to determine the state of Year 2000 (Y2K)
readiness and prepare the infrastructure to repair non compliant components. This phase
includes the identification of components and the organizing of those components into an
inventory, Vendor and business partner communications strategy approaches will be
determined as well.
The Analysis phase involves the gathering of information that will determine the strategy and
tactics for the compliance effort. An analysis is completed to determine high level
requirements needed to evolve from the current state to the desired Year 2000 compliance.
The Recommendations phase of the project involves development of specific plans and
approaches to provide Cannel with guidelines and suggestions to be used during the Y2K
remediation effort. Also within the Recommendations phase, a division of responsibilities
and assignments will occur, which is a requirement for Remediation.
At this time, it is assumed that Whittman-Hart, in conjunction with Carmel staff, will jointly
conduct the inventory collection and assessment, assign the priorities, and assign risks.
It is recognized that the needs, including deliverables, of Carmel may change as this project
professes and new information is discovered It is Whittman-Hart's commitment to make
every effort to accommodate those changes within the scope and activities of this proposal.
Whittman-Hart anticipates providing the following services.

The above work plan and associated dates are dependent on the availability of the City of Carreel staff.
Should additional tasks be requested, or the scope change, these dates may require adjustment. This work
plan includes meetings, preparation time, documentation, and periodic reviews with Carmel management
and designated staff. The most significant time consuming tasks during the early stages of a readiness
/ assessment project are the inventory collection task, and developing the strategy based on that
inventory. The effort required to complete these tasks is directly dependent on the availability of Carmel
staff to assist Whiman-Hart, the current state of the collection process, and the physical number of
components.
