EXHIBIT B-1 
REVISED ADDITIONAL SCOPE OF WORK 
1.0 INTENT: 
The ULTIS project go-live is being deferred June 30th, 2025. Based on this new timeline, the Scrum 
Master, Project Coordinator and Legacy Developer will be needed to support the project beyond the end 
of the previous period of performance (POP). This amendment will extend the period of performance for 
those resources from 9/30/2024 to 9/30/2025.  
The previous amendment called for Guidehouse to provide a Quality Assurance Analyst, the Treasurer’s 
Office sourced that role from another vendor and that scope will be removed from the contract. The 
OCM analyst originally planned to support the project until September 30, 2024, will be removed from 
the project on 4/30/2024.  
 To support the changes in the timeline, the following changes will be made to the project staffing: 
• 
Remove the Quality Assurance Analyst role (-$364,800.02) 
• 
Change the end data for the POP for the OCM Analyst Role from 9/30/2024 to 4/30/2024 (-
$112,457.16) 
• 
Extend the period of performance for the Scrum Master, Project Coordinator and Legacy 
Developer through 9/30/2025. ($864,208.68) 
The total dollar amount for these changes will increase the total dollar amount by $386,951.50 
Estimated Timeline  
The implementation of the new MCTIS system is scheduled to be completed in June of 2025, followed by 
a post-deployment warranty period of 90 days. The contract will expire at the end of the business day on 
Tuesday, September 30, 2025. The project resources will support the delivery of all relevant project 
milestones, tasks and activities. Price per Deliverable and Labor Cost under exhibit A is based on this 
timeline. A change in the timeline will impact Exhibit A. 
2.0 SCOPE OF WORK 
The scope of services to be completed by Guidehouse in Phase IV will be adjusted from Amendment 14. 
Guidehouse will no longer be providing a Quality Assurance Analyst to the project. The systems covered 
by Implementation and Oversight services will remain the same: the original Treasury Information 
System (TIS) and the e-Gov system to include Dynamics Replacement Implementation.  
The previous amendment called for Guidehouse to provide a Quality Assurance Analyst, the Treasurer’s 
Office sourced that role from another vendor and that scope will be removed from the contract.

3.0 DELIVERABLES 
Guidehouse will produce the following deliverables in accordance with the frequency and/or project 
milestones identified in Exhibit A. 
3.1 Implementation Support Deliverables 
Guidehouse will produce the following recurring deliverables while supporting the implementation 
project team. 
Monthly Health Report  
Guidehouse will produce a monthly health report organized by work stream that describes project 
accomplishments, the list of planned activities for the next 30/60/90 days, project metrics and newly 
identified risks.  
Legacy Support/Development Summary Report  
The Legacy Support/Development Summary Report will outline the activities performed by the 
Guidehouse COBOL developer role in support of the MCTIS implementation. This will include a summary 
of the database, custom development, and operational support work completed in the month.  
Sprint Retrospective Reports  
The SCRUM Master will compile a monthly retrospective report for all retrospectives completed within 
the calendar month. This report will include the results of the completed sprint, and any notes about 
possible impacts to the output of the work. In the retrospective meeting, the scrum master will capture 
the results of the discussion around what the team did well, what didn’t go well and where there are 
opportunities for improvement. A summary of these notes will be included in the monthly retrospective 
report.
