  341         (h) Use the following principles to develop a means of
  342  chargeback for primary data center services:
  343         1. The customers of the primary data center shall provide
  344  payments to the primary data center that are sufficient to
  345  maintain the solvency of the primary data center operation for
  346  all costs not directly funded through the General Appropriations
  347  Act.
  348         2. Per unit cost of usage shall be the primary basis for
  349  pricing, and usage shall be accurately measurable and
  350  attributable to the appropriate customer.
  351         3. The primary data center shall combine the aggregate
  352  purchasing power of large and small customers to achieve
  353  collective savings opportunities to all customers.
  354         4. Chargeback methodologies shall be devised to consider
  355  restrictions on grants to customers.
  356         5. Chargeback methodologies should establish incentives
  357  that lead to customer usage practices that result in lower costs
  358  to the state.
  359         6. Chargeback methodologies shall consider technological
  360  change when:
  361         a. New services require short-term investments before
  362  achieving long-term, full-cost recovery for the service.
  363         b. Customers of antiquated services may not be able to bear
  364  all of the costs for the antiquated services during periods when
  365  customers are migrating to replacement services.
  366         7. Prices may be established which allow for accrual of
  367  cash balances for the purpose of maintaining contingent
  368  operating funds and funding planned capital investments. Accrual
  369  of the cash balances shall be considered to be costs for the
  370  purposes of this section.
  371         8. The primary data center may not knowingly enter into an
  372  agreement with a customer for more than 2 years if associated
  373  charges will not be sufficient to cover the associated
  374  proportional costs.
  375         9. Flat rate charges may be used only if there are
  376  provisions for reconciling charges to comport with actual costs
  377  and use.
  378         (i) Exercise technical and fiscal tact in determining the
  379  best way to deliver enterprise information technology services.

  387  economical management and operation of the shared resource
  388  centers and state telecommunications services.
  389         (m) Provide other public sector organizations as defined in
  390  s. 282.0041 with access to the services provided by the agency.
  391  Access shall be provided on the same cost basis that applies to
  392  state agencies.
  393         (n) Ensure that data that is confidential under state or
  394  federal law may not be entered into or processed through any
  395  shared resource center or network established under the agency
  396  until safeguards for the data’s security satisfactory to the
  397  department head and the executive director have been designed,
  398  installed, and tested and are fully operational. This paragraph
  399  may not be construed to prescribe what actions to satisfy a
  400  department’s objectives are to be undertaken or to remove from
  401  the control and administration of the departments the
  402  responsibility for working with the agency to implement
  403  safeguards, regardless of whether such control and
  404  administration are specifically required by general law or

  835         (1) INTENT.—The Legislature finds that the most efficient
  836  and effective means of providing quality utility data processing
  837  services to state agencies requires that computing resources be
  838  concentrated in quality facilities that provide the proper
  839  security, infrastructure, and staff resources to ensure that the
  840  state’s data is maintained reliably and safely and is
  841  recoverable in the event of a disaster. Efficiencies resulting
  842  from such consolidation include the increased ability to
  843  leverage technological expertise and hardware and software
  844  capabilities; increased savings through consolidated purchasing
  845  decisions; and the enhanced ability to deploy technology
  846  improvements and implement new policies consistently throughout
  847  the consolidated organization. Therefore, it is the intent of
  848  the Legislature that state agency data centers and computing
  849  facilities be consolidated into the Agency for State Technology
  850  to the maximum extent possible by June 30, 2018.

  861  an existing memorandum of understanding within 60 days after the
  862  specified consolidation date, as required by s. 282.203, in
  863  order to specify the services and levels of service it is to
  864  receive from the primary data center as a result of the
  865  consolidation. If a state agency is unable to execute a
  866  memorandum of understanding by that date, the state agency shall
  867  submit a report to the Executive Office of the Governor, the
  868  Cabinet, the President of the Senate, and the Speaker of the
  869  House of Representatives within 5 working days after that date
  870  which explains the specific issues preventing execution and
  871  describes its plan and schedule for resolving those issues.

 1061  information necessary to develop the implementation plan,
 1062  including, but not limited to, required mailbox features and the
 1063  number of mailboxes that will require migration services. Each
 1064  agency must also identify any known business, operational, or
 1065  technical plans, limitations, or constraints that should be
 1066  considered when developing the plan.
