How Do We Charge?

There is no additional charge for the actual use of the Project Costing module. Agencies with the desire to implement the use of this module will most likely find that they will want consulting assistance to assist them with adapting their current processes to the statewide use of the system. If consulting assistance is necessary, the Office of State Finance (OSF) will assist in finding the best available resource. OSF will also contract with the consultant and bill the agency through an interagency agreement for the consulting services.
