on the effort that needs to be expended, dividing the project into phases (as may be deemedappropriate) and assessment of project risks. Consultant should work collaboratively with theDepartment and add value in determining a realistic project schedule for all downstream workup to the stage of completion of the eGovernance Project and obtain the concurrence of theDepartment.10. Project Cost Estimates & Structuring: An estimate of the total project cost on a detailed lineitem basis should be computed. These costs should be categorized into capital andoperational expenditure over a three year period based on approximate market values. Costitems should include all support and personnel costs that would need to be met by theDepartment over and above the payments that are to be made to the Project Implementationpartner, costs related to data migration (if any) and costs associated with certification(s). Cashflow projections based on the estimated cost shall form part of this exercise. In addition,Consultant is also required to suggest project structuring alternatives that could be consideredrelevant and feasible.11. Data Migration Plan and Strategy: There needs to be critical mass of data when the newsolution goes live. This may involve transfer of data both from current system that are inelectronic form as well as paper documents. Additional effort may be required to map existingdata items to possible new codifications schemes/structures that could be introduced as partof the new processes.

Project Implementation Strategy: On the basis of the findings and the proposals that havebeen made in relation to this project and keeping in view any possibility of retaining currentlyoperational software applications, software Reuse from other States, new custom developedsoftware modules (i.e. bespoke) and the need for adoption of a phased projectimplementation approach, consultant should determine a suitable strategy for this project.This will also include the commercial model and project structuring (financial and legal) for theproposed engagement. The consultant should also identify an approach for data migrationand whether the same would be carried out by the project implementation partner or byanother third external party or through internal resources of the Department (with or withouttemporary resource supplementation). Based on the project implementation strategy clearroles and responsibilities of various parties involved in the downstream tasks, including that of26
