419

exceeded costs, that rebates be applied to offset charges to

those customer entities that have subsidized the costs of other

421

customer entities, and that such rebates may be in the form of

422

credits against future billings.

423

6. Requiring that all service-level agreements have a

424

contract term of up to 3 years, but may include an option to

425

renew for up to 3 additional years contingent on approval by the

426

board, and require at least a 180-day notice of termination.

428

centers if the center:

429

a. Has an established governance structure that represents

430

customer entities proportionally.

431

b. Maintains an appropriate cost-allocation methodology

432

that accurately bills a customer entity based on the actual

433

direct and indirect costs to the customer entity and prohibits

434

the subsidization of one customer entity's costs by another

435

entity.

436

c. Has sufficient raised floor space, cooling, redundant

437

power capacity, including uninterruptible power supply and backup

438

power generation, to accommodate the computer processing

439

platforms and support necessary to host the computing

one-time charges on all customers entities to cover the

709

shortfall. The one-time charges shall be implemented using actual

711

fiscal year and the same principles used to set rates for the

712

fiscal year.
