CITY MANAGER CONTINUED TO FILE NUMBER RECOMMENDED ACTION Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the Council to renew the agreements for temporary personnel services and consulting in a total amount not to exceed $2,850,000 with the following vendors: APR Consulting, Inc. Nakoma Group (formerly Data Design Corporation) International Management Systems Corporation SoftMaster, Inc. Telfords DISCUSSION The use of temporary contractors specialized in information technology continues to be an essential approach to the support of City operations. Contract personnel provide software application development and support; business application and project consulting; telecommunications services; and computer and networking services. The use of these services maximizes the effectiveness of staff resources in the Information Services Division (ISD). This approach ensures timely completion of City information projects and reduces interruptions to the computer infrastructure system. A Request for Proposal (RFP) for Temporary Technical Contract Service and Consulting Services was issued by ISD in November 2001. Some 62 proposals were evaluated and the top five vendors were identified. On December 17, 2001 Council approved agreements with these five vendors for a one-year period, with the option of four renewal terms. During the past four terms, the vendors have provided excellent service and support to the City. In addition, the proposed renewals include some technical support that will be provided to and funded by the Urban Area Security Initiative 2005. 25H-1 Technical Temporary Personnel Services and Consulting November 5, 2005 Page 2 FISCAL IMPACT Funds are available in various Technology Plan, Other Services accounts (accounts 109-200-6291, 109-300-6291, 109-600-6291, & 109-700-6291) .
