RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a Resolution authorizing the execution of an Amendment to the Agreement with CompuCom Systems for contingency staffing services, increasing the Agreement amount of $2,142,000 by $1,750,000 for an amount not to exceed $3,892,000.

 

VISION ALIGNMENT:

Commitment: Responsive, effective and collaborative government.

Goal 20: Government decisions are based on careful consideration of future impact, rather than temporary relief or immediate gain; and County employees understand, support and integrate the County vision and goals into their delivery of services.

This Agreement contributes to Goal 20 by establishing a contract for surge-capacity staffing thereby reducing IT project startup time.

BACKGROUND:

In February 2006, your Board adopted Resolution 067821, approving an Agreement with CompuCom Systems to provide contingency staffing for County Information Technology (IT) projects. This Agreement has provided staff augmentation as needed without the risk of over hiring, and has enabled Information Services (ISD) to bring in qualified staff quickly when needed for project-based and short-term work.

 

DISCUSSION:

The need for IT resources has increased during the last half of Fiscal Year 06-07. This increase resulted in a higher than expected utilization of this Agreement during Fiscal Year 06-07. The increased workload is expected to continue through 07-08 as the County continues to implement technologies to provide cross-departmental data integration, improve internal processes, and improve service delivery to County clients. Included in the FY 07-08 Adopted Budget is $1,750,000 for contingency staffing, which will enable ISD to meet the short term commitments for project staffing and one-time spikes in work. An increase to this Agreement’s not to exceed amount is needed in order for ISD to meet these commitments.

County Counsel has reviewed and approved the Resolution and Amendment as to form.

 

FISCAL IMPACT:

The original term of this Agreement was from February 28, 2006 to February 27, 2009 in an amount not to exceed $2,142,000. This Amendment increases the not to exceed amount by $1,750,000 to provide services through the end of FY 2007-08. Funding for this Amendment is included in the FY 2007-08 ISD budget. Recommendations will be made for future budgets.
