RAMCS Prepared for: The City of South Bend, IN <br />aesa,,ce <br />Tech,)!af, <br />Configuration of optimization support <br />Test planning using the imported data is carried out by using the AMCS predefined optimization configuration. <br />Following the review of KPI and route quality estimations, the predefined planning parameters will be adjusted, <br />and further optimization is carried out and evaluated. The process of adjusting the parameters may be repeated <br />several times until a preferred optimization configuration is eventually saved in the system for use during daily <br />planning. <br />Training <br />The entire implementation process outlined above will be undertaken in close cooperation between The City of <br />South Bend and AMCS, enabling the users to familiarize themselves with the system via a practical, 'real -world", <br />work and training environment. Concluding the implementation, the super -user and the planners will receive <br />additional training focusing on the day-to-day use of Route Planner, providing good insight into the relevant <br />functionality and expanding the potential uses and utilization of the system. <br />Support <br />On completion of the training, the project will enter the second stage and move into the optimization of the next <br />waste service. At this time, The City of South Bend will receive continual feedback and practical support which will <br />further improve The City's use of AMCS Route Planner. An estimate of the expected support need is detailed <br />within the pricing section of this proposal. <br />License Structure <br />The AMCS Route Planner licenses include annual recurring licenses for the actual system software, for upgrade <br />licenses and for the built-in third -party software and data. <br />The annual vehicle licenses are priced according to the number of vehicles registered for planning in the system <br />and according to which modules are acquired. Included in the annual prices listed below are: <br />• Third -party software MapX from Mapinfo is a GIS tool which is integrated into AMCS Route Planner and <br />used for displaying orders, disposal facilities and routes in maps and for editing the maps and routes. <br />• The third -party database from HERE is a street and address database which is incorporated into AMCS <br />Route Planner and used for geocoding, distance calculation and map generation. <br />• The maintenance license for AMCS Route Planner covers software patches, helpdesk support in <br />connection with software errors, and the right to continual upgrades for newer releases and versions of <br />the system. Any necessary assistance with the actual upgrading is considered as ordinary billable support. <br />Regular support delivered to The City of South Bend which is not covered by the maintenance license is ordinary <br />billable support. <br />© AMCS Page 5 of 9 Proposal #11 <br />Confidential and Proprietary Information <br />V9.2 <br />
