The Department of Management Services (DMS) is responsible
				  for developing and implementing cost-recovery mechanisms that recover the full
				  direct and indirect cost of services through charges to applicable customer
				  entities. To fulfill this responsibility the DMS will employ the following
				  budget methodology:
(1) Initial annual
				estimate. Before the start of each fiscal year the DMS will estimate both the
				total annual anticipated cost to operate the DMS and the projected customer
				entity utilization of data center services.
(2) Invoicing and payments will be managed as
				follows:
(a) Customer entities will be
				invoiced monthly or quarterly for services, based on the projections as
				provided in subsection (1), or based on actual appropriations as stated in the
				General Appropriations Act plus carry-forward adjustments. However, the DMS may
				pre-bill customer entities to ensure the DMS has sufficient revenue to satisfy
				operating financial obligations it may have with the Department of Financial
				Services.
(b) The actual cost for
				services provided to customer entities will be adjusted at the close of each
				fiscal year to ensure all products and services consumed or used by the
				customer entity are trued-up based on actual utilization.
(c) Customer entities will be provided an
				invoice for services from DMS electronically, by account and service.
(d) Monthly, customer entities will receive
				an electronic communication from DMS providing them with information to access
				their service utilization data detail.

				performed by a third party (to include a government entity).
(6) To prevent Internet Protocol (IP) routing
				conflicts, state agencies will consult with the Florida Digital Service (FDS)
				prior to the use of cloud-based services where DMS allocated IP addresses
