Business Impact Assessment
Scored 1 (negligible) to 5 (severe) across the six impact categories from the Phase I BIA scope.
Contractor payment stoppage: ~$9M/week in estimates; prompt-pay interest accrues after 30 days.
Federal-aid billing to FHWA FMIS halts; reimbursement cash flow interrupted.
Letting-schedule slips create bid-protest and contract-claim exposure.
Stable platform, but on-prem with backup restore untested against a full-datacenter scenario.
Recovery Objectives
Proposed via BIA- Minimum availability
- 99.5%
- Service window
- Business hours + letting-day surge (24×7 letting weeks)
Workaround Feasibility
Letting postponement possible once per cycle; no manual path for estimate/payment processing beyond one pay period.
