(1) The report shall be submitted to the productivity board within one year of full implementation of the team's project.

(2) The report must be submitted to the productivity board by the agency with the agency head's approval. The agency head's approval shall be required for the team to be eligible for a TIP award.

(3) An identification of the baseline, against which savings were evaluated at the end of the project period. Teams shall demonstrate to the satisfaction of the board that the team operated at a lower cost or with an increase in revenue with no decrease in the level of services rendered.

(4) The report must also include the following:

(a) A general description of the team and its mission and when the team project was implemented;

(b) Performance measures which quantify the workflow and outcome measures of the team;

(c) The actual net savings and/or revenue derived from the team project and calculations showing how the figures were derived;

(d) Fiscal information pertinent to outcomes;

(f) Signatures of agency management authorizing the team's participation in the TIP project, including:

(ii) The supervisor/manager of the participating team;

(iii) The appropriate fiscal/budget officer of the agency; and

(iv) Other signatures specified by the agency, such as the personnel manager and division directors.
