Summary of Contract MA180000000572

This document comprises a state contract and multiple change notices between the State of Michigan (through the Department of Education and Department of Technology, Management and Budget) and SAS Institute Inc. for the Education Value-Added Assessment System (EVAAS). The contract represents an indefinite delivery vehicle established on March 31, 2018, with an initial expiration date of March 30, 2019. The contract structure includes five available one-year option periods, with Change Notice 10 extending the contract through March 30, 2027. Multiple agencies participate in the contract administration, including the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) and DTMB, with program managers and contract administrators designated for oversight.

The contract provides a web-based value-added growth and projection analytics system that analyzes student achievement data across Michigan's K-12 education system. Key deliverables include growth metrics, diagnostic reports, individual student projections, custom interactive scatterplots, and college readiness dashboards accessible through the EVAAS Interface. The initial contract value was $2,500,000 for Phase One Services (2017-2018), with subsequent change notices adding funding for ongoing services and infrastructure improvements. Change Notice 8 added $1,900,000 for services extending through September 30, 2024, with provisions for moving the hosted services to a new environment compliant with FedRAMP standards and NIST Special Publication 800-53 controls. The aggregate estimated contract value is $12,900,000. The contract requires SAS to maintain SOC 2 Type 2 security compliance, provide WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility, implement encryption standards, and support multi-factor authentication. Service levels specify a maximum of 35 hours of monthly downtime for the EVAAS Interface, with service credits available for non-compliance. The contract is governed by Michigan law with disputes resolved in Michigan courts, and requires comprehensive data security measures, confidentiality protections, and indemnification obligations for both parties.

Accessibility Requirements.

(a) All Software Systems provided by Contractor under this Contract, including associated content and documentation, must be benchmarked against WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Contractor must provide a description of conformance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA specifications by providing a completed PAT for each product provided under the Contract. At a minimum, Contractor must comply with the WCAG 2.1

Level A conformance claims it made to the State regarding the level of conformance provided in any PAT. Contractor and State agree to a plan to reach WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance and to remediate identified barriers to accessibility to provide a comparable level of access to the data. As a preliminary matter, the plan is to take steps to improve accessibility to the Restricted Site prior to the next report release and then to prioritize the accessibility of the analytic reports made available to the public through the EVAAS website application prior to the next report release.

Analytic reports available through the Restricted Site are a secondary priority. The anticipated timeline of the plan is:

1) for the 2022 – 2023 Reporting Year Restricted Site Release targeted in December 2023 Contractor will remove reports that were already nearing the end of their life, including Decision Dashboard, Projection Summaries, Student Search, School Value Added Summary, School Diagnostic Summary, School Perf Diagnostic Summary, and School Search, update Custom Student Reports to suppress pie graphic, and add accessibility statement around requesting data and/ or alternate means to request data;

2) for the 2022 – 2023 Reporting Year Public Site Release in March 2024 provide the State with a PAT showing the public site is WCAG 2.1A compliant while striving for AA compliance for most items, converting Scatterplot, and adding an accessibility statement around requesting data and/ or alternate means to request data;

3) for the 2023 – 2024 Reporting Year Restricted Site Release a PAT showing the site is WCAG 2.1A compliant while striving for AA compliance for most items, including a simplified reports menu, value added, teacher reports, diagnostics, student reporting and scatterplots;

4) for the 2023 – 2024 Reporting Year March 2025 Public Site Release a PAT showing the Public Site is WCAG 2.1AA compliant; and 5). For the 2024 – 2025 Reporting Year Restricted Site Release a PAT showing the Restricted Site is WCAG 2.1AA compliant.

If the State receives a complaint regarding the accessibility, or conducts an assessment on the accessibility and identifies barriers, of the Software System Contractor will work within the plan and with the State to address the complaints or assessment and provide a comparable level of access. Throughout the term of the Contract, Contractor will:

(i) maintain compliance with the level of conformance provided in its PAT, including the level of conformance provided in each PAT;

(ii) comply with the plan and timeline set forth in paragraph (a) above;

(iii) ensure that no Maintenance Release, New Version, update or patch, when properly installed in accordance with this Contract, will have any adverse effect on the conformance of Contractor’s Software System to the PAT;

(iv) ;

(v) upon the State’s written request, provide evidence of compliance with this Section by delivering to the State Contractor’s most current PAT for each product provided under the Contract; and

(vi)

(b) State of Michigan Digital Standards Review. Contractor must assist the State, at no additional cost, with development, completion, and on-going maintenance of an accessibility plan, which requires Contractor, upon request from the State, to submit evidence to the State to validate Contractor’s accessibility and compliance with the standards set forth herein. Prior to the solution going-live and thereafter on an annual basis, or as otherwise required by the State, re-assessment of accessibility may be required. At no additional cost, Contractor must remediate all issues identified from any assessment of accessibility pursuant to plans and timelines that are approved in writing by the State.

(c) Warranty. Contractor warrants that all conformance claims made by Contractor pursuant to this Contract, including all information provided in any PAT Contractor provides to the State, are true and correct. If the State determines that the information in the PAT is inconsistent with what is actually provided to the State, Contractor willat its sole cost and expense, promptly remediate its Software System to align with Contractor’s stated PAT. If Contractor is unable to remediate to align with its stated PAT , the State may terminate this Contract for cause.

(d) Contractor must, without limiting Contractor’s obligations of indemnification as further described in this Contract, indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the State for any and all claims, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs, and incidental expenses, which may be suffered by, accrued against, charged to, or recoverable from the State arising out of its failure to comply with the Contractor’s most recently provided PAT.

(e) Failure to comply with the requirements in this Section  shall constitute a material breach of this Contract.

9) Section 18.15 is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following –

Entire Agreement. This Contract, including all Statements of Work and other Schedules and Exhibits, constitutes the sole and entire agreement of the parties to this Contract with respect to the subject matter contained herein, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter.

If Contractor is unable to remediate identified vulnerabilities within the above timeframes, Contractor will provide a plan to the State of such vulnerabilities and the anticipated timeframe by which each will be remediated. Such timeframes will be as close to the above timeframes as possible. Contractor may apply mitigating controls to reduce the risk of an identified vulnerability. Contractor will track the identified vulnerabilities and update the State on progress until remediated. Nothing in this section shall diminish or impact any other rights the State has under this Contract.

If requested by the State, the contractor must provide the State with a vulnerability assessment summary, which includes number of vulnerabilities by severity and monthly age, from the most recent scan.

11. Nonexclusive Remedy for Security Breach.

11.1 Any failure of the Services to meet the requirements of this Schedule with respect to the security of any State Data or other Confidential Information of the State, including any related backup, business continuity or other applicable policies, practices or procedures, is a material breach of the Contract for which the State, at its option, may terminate the Contract immediately upon written notice to Contractor without any notice or cure period, and Contractor must promptly reimburse to the State any Fees prepaid by the State prorated to the date of such termination.
