1 September 28, 2017 Thomas Mullaney Executive Director, Budget Office Office of Management and Budget One Capitol Hill Providence, R.I BY AND U.S.P.S. Re: Disclosure of Names of State Government Consultants R.I. Gen. Laws Section Dear Mr. Mullaney: The Rhode Island Housing and Mortgage Finance Corporation ( RIHousing ) submits this annual report pursuant to the Disclosure of Names of State Government Consultants Act, Rhode Island General Laws (the Act ). Enclosed herein is a list containing the names of all persons and contractors who performed legal, medical, accounting, engineering, or other professional, technical, or consultant services to RIHousing during Fiscal Year 2017, and the amount of compensation received by each such person or firm (see Attachment A). This list is being provided to fulfill the provisions of subsection (a) of the Act. Subsection (b) of the Act requires RIHousing to disclose any contract or agreement for services, valued at $150, or more, which are substantially similar to and in replacement of work normally provided in whole or in part by employees of the agency ( Covered Services ). During Fiscal Year 2017, which ended June 30, 2017, RIHousing was a party to two contracts that could be interpreted as governing Covered Services in excess of $150, This first of these two contracts, which was also fully disclosed in RIHousing s Annual Contracting Report for Fiscal Years 2014, 2015, and 2016, governs RIHousing s business relationship with Titan Lenders Corp. ( Titan ) with respect to single family residential loan origination processes. Together with all applicable amendments, the Titan contract is attached to this letter as Attachment B. The second of these two contracts, which was fully disclosed in RIHousing s Annual Contracting Report for Fiscal Year 2016, relates to RIHousing s relationship with RSM US LLP ( RSM ), a national audit, tax, and consulting firm. RSM was originally engaged by RIHousing in 2015 to perform an assessment of RIHousing s information technology capabilities, which services were not substantially similar to or in replacement of work normally performed by agency employees.

2 Thomas Mullaney September 28, 2017 Page 2 Following this assessment, however, RIHousing entered the attached supplemental agreements with RSM (see Attachment C) to provide managed services, strategic planning, system improvement, plan implementation, and as-needed SQL database support, including providing a full-time network manager on a temporary basis while RIHousing reconfigures its relevant IT job descriptions and recruits for permanent staff replacements. These supplemental agreements remain in effect. Please contact me if you have any questions or require additional information. Very truly yours, Corinne Myers Deputy General Counsel
