5
    (b) Subject to appropriation, the Department shall study 
6
the cost of and the State's current use of and reliance on 
7
HVTPS.  The study shall consider, without limitation: 
8
        (1) The nature of the operations supported by existing

    HVTPS, including the State's need to conduct those 
10
    operations in a reliable, secure, scalable, and

    end-user-friendly manner.

14
    charges associated with the components of an HVTPS. 
15
        (3) For existing HVTPS, the State's reliance on 
16

17
    feasibility of having those functions performed by State 
18
    employees, new or existing.

        (4) An assessment of the overall value of existing 
20
    HVTPS to the State. 
21
        (5) Whether HVTPS of comparable capacity and 
22
    performance characteristics are available in the 
23
    marketplace and, if not, in what manner the marketplace is 
24
    failing to offer such comparable systems. 
25
        (6) If comparable HVTPS exist in the marketplace, the 
26
    study must indicate what good-faith estimates exist for
