Document Handling and Confidentiality
Each of our employees has completed a background check, drug testing and signed a confidentiality agreement. Ricoh BIS
professionals are experienced in handling, disassembling, and reassembling clients’ important legal files. Our BIS staff is also
trained relative to HIPAA and HITECH standards for handling confidential healthcare-related documents.
Security at Every Level
We employ strict protocols for handling data and other confidential information. All BIS Source locations are tightly secured,
and our staff goes through rigorous confidentiality and security training and background checks. Your data, whether
electronically stored information or paper, is protected physically within our centers, and all converted electronic data is
subject to multilevel security through encryption and firewalls. Each BIS Source location has a business continuity plan
documented and on file.
Disaster Recovery
Each of our BIS Source locations has a business continuity plan outlining the procedures for that location. Those plans are
reviewed and updated quarterly. Additionally, Ricoh’s infrastructure mitigates risk associated with data loss and sustained
production downtime because Ricoh has BIS Source locations across the country, all adhering to the same policies and
procedures and using the same production equipment. We have redundancy built into each of our production conversion
processes. If a disaster were to strike our local office, we would personally move all of the work to a nearby office (designated
“hot site”).

Production Workflow Notes
Ricoh is extremely sensitive to the fact that we are handling confidential legal, PHI, HIPAA and/or business-critical documents.
As such, Ricoh designed its document handling procedures around the tight security standards established for evidentiary
and privileged documents relating to extremely sensitive litigation matters. This allows us to maintain strict confidentiality
and chain of custody throughout the entire workflow.
Ricoh is also sensitive to the fact that we frequently handle active files that our clients rely on during the regular course of
business. When a file from a box that is identified as being “out for imaging”, Ricoh’s Rapid Response service can be activated
to retrieve and return the original(s) or produce an electronic copy that can be downloaded securely. Ricoh’s entire imaging
workflow and customer service is designed to not adversely impact daily business operations.
Pricing Notes:
The foregoing price quotation is valid for 30 days from the date of this proposal. Unit prices are based on the volumes and
assumptions as detailed in the Production Scope & Assumptions section and are contingent upon analysis of a representative
sampling of source media and indexing methodology.
Should the scope or process vary from the assumptions outlined herein, Ricoh reserves the right to submit a revised proposal based
on definitions representative of the true project scope and technical requirements, The “Estimated Pre-Tax Total” listed above is
calculated based on the aggregate of all unit pricing multiplied by their corresponding quantities. This estimated total is not a fixed
cost estimate and is intended solely as a general cost estimate. Ricoh will invoice for actual volumes processed.
Ricoh and Client acknowledge that the services and prices that are offered to Client herein are based on the assumptions
contained within this response, and assumptions to be identified by Ricoh during its more detailed evaluation and scope
assessment following the engagement contemplated hereunder. All production processing will be executed pursuant to the
imaging and coding instructions and instructions contained in this document and in its addenda herein.
If Ricoh determines during the production processing of Client’s document collection that the collection deviates from
assumptions, Ricoh reserves the right to adjust unit price for the impacted service (effective as of the earliest date that such
deviation occurred), and Client agrees to pay Ricoh in accordance with Ricoh’s standard terms and conditions for such
services. Ricoh will notify Client of its determination of any deviation from the assumptions contained within this response.
Assumptions:
1.
2.
Transportation quotes are valid for 10 days, and subject to change due to variances in fuel, courier fees, etc.
Archival “Glasswork” imaging would be required in the event the condition of the originals are fragile/antique, hard
bound, or the integrity of the document(s) would be compromised by placing them into a mechanized document
handler/feeder for scanning.
Imaging Pricing assumes originals are in good condition without frayed edges, tears, or brittle/antique paper, not requiring
Special Handling or use of a carrier sheet to facilitate scanning.
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) - Provides keyword search capability. Should OCR be requested at a later date, Ricoh
will provide a revised quote.
a.
OCR Is not recommended for oversize maps, photo images, drawings, floor plans files, etc.
b.
OCRis not a reliable method for extraction of handwritten, serif font, small type font under 12 point, data in
tables or charts, etc, and should not be considered a reliable method for obtaining “searchable” files in
larger PDFs, Ricoh cannot guarantee all words and characters will be captured consistently.
c.
OCR will not be performed on any microform images. Ricoh cannot guarantee the consistency of OCR on
microform media.
If processing exceptions exceed 3% of the total volume, the Change Order Process will be initiated for review and
disposition.
If returning originals, original media will be returned to Client thirty (30) days after associated image delivery is complete.
Upon Request, for a transport fee, originals may be returned to Customer Site, within 30 days of Scan
If shredding, original media will be shredded by Ricoh within thirty (30) days after associated image delivery is complete
and Ricoh has written Client authorization to proceed with document destruction. If written authorization is not received
within 30 days, original media will be returned to Client and will incur additional return shipping fees. Original Images will
be shredded based on the schedule of fees outlined herein

** Note: DIT (Datea Interchange Test) requires Ricoh ASG Technical Services and client approval which may impact Pproject
Ftimeline.
Pre-production activity is targeted to be completed in approximately two to three weeks, Following Customer approval and
acceptance of the Conversion Service Project Plan (CSPP), production conversion will commence, and continue over a
mutually agreed-on period. The final schedule will be mutually determined between the Ricoh project manager and
Customer, Customer will deliver Source Media as necessary to support the planned schedule.
Ricoh’s project lifecycle consists of three major phases:
©
Pre-production
®
Production
©
Project close-out
The Ricoh project manager assigned to your account will be responsible for directing all phases and will be the primary point
of contact for the entire project. The project manager will execute the operations based on a structured methodology
approach. The Ricoh project manager will ensure that each of the phases has mutually agreed upon objectives and deliverable
products, Both Ricoh and your organization will have defined responsibilities in each phase, and accordingly both will share
in the project success. Transition from one phase of the project to the next shall occur only with Customer expressed approval.
The activities for each phase are described below:
Pre-Production —After contract award, Ricoh’s project manager will lead a kick-off meeting with Customer. After kick-off,
Ricoh begins work with Customer to finalize procedures and quality specifications.
During this phase, the Ricoh project team works with Customer to complete the Conversion Services Project Plan (CSPP) and
presents it to Customer for approval, The purpose of the CSPP is to provide a detailed, documented reference for the
complete execution of the project. In the plan, the project manager describes in detail all of the logistical, operational and
technical requirements, specifications and procedures of the project.
After approval of the CSPP, Ricoh performs a data interchange test (DIT). The DIT is an end-to-end test of workflow and
procedures, and is performed to verify both the technical and logistical elements of the project. The results of the DIT are to
be reviewed by Customer and any required adjustments will be communicated back to Ricoh. Ricoh will not proceed with
production until a successful DIT is completed and approved by Customer.
Production —With Customer's approval of the interchange test, Ricoh will pick up boxes of files to begin the scanning
production and produce deliverable images. The production process will mirror the DIT model.
Ricoh will work with Customer to ensure that the implemented process, scan, index, and import are meeting all of Customer’s
requirements.
During production, Ricoh will generate monthly reports of production statistics. The format of this report will be developed
with Customer but should include totals of documents and images produced and delivered and invoice summaries.
Close-out
- The Ricoh project manager closes out all open items and issues and performs a final reconciliation, The project
manager conducts an end-of-project meeting. Optionally, data reconciliation reports can be produced detailing anomalies,
such as documents in database but not delivered, documents delivered but not in database, duplicate documents or indices,
