In April 2023, the Oracle Project was removed from the scope Fusion Supply Chain Execution Cloud Service and Oracle EPM SaaS subscription.  The removal from scope resulted in the following:

RTA elected to continue with Ron Turley as the main inventory and maintenance software and integrated purchasing with Oracle - and - RTA purchased OpenGov in April 2023 instead of Oracle’s version (EPM).

Year 4 (2025)                                                                      - $369,464.19

 

The total cost for the remaining contracted two years is $721,334.85.  The 2024 breakdown of costs is $351,870.66 disbursed in four quarterly installments of $87,969.17.  The 2025 breakdown would be $369,464.19 disbursed in four quarterly installments of $92,366.05.
