The Information Services Division will administer <br />agreement/s resulting from this RFP. <br />It is anticipated that the services provided through these agreements would be used in five <br />distinct manners: <br />• Provide staff for temporary situations which do not justify the addition of regular City <br />staff. <br />Provide temporary contract service personnel with unique technical skills to act as a <br />technical resource to project teams for projects which do not justify the addition of <br />regular staff. <br />• Provide additional resources for situations which exceed the capacity of existing City <br />staff. <br />Provide project based consulting and implementation support. <br />All five situations require highly qualified technical contract service personnel who perform <br />exceptionally well in their specialties. <br />In general, technical contract service personnel and consultants will work as members of project <br />teams staffed and directed by City employees and will serve as technical resources. In certain <br />instances, sub - projects may be contracted out. <br />1.4 Overview of Existing Systems <br />The City of Santa Ana utilizes a variety of hardware and software to support its business <br />functions.
