SoftMaster, Inc. The Comdyn Group, 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 also ensures the timely completion of City information projects and reduces interruptions to the computer infrastructure system. These agreements provide highly skilled technology contractors who are essential in providing specialized assistance to City departments in the design, development and implementation of the City's information management systems. They support over 2,000 plus end-users; three each Enterprise client/server-based and web-based business systems; the City's wide area network including the connection to the Internet; eleven department local area networks; 165 servers in two data centers (the City Hall data center and the SAPD data center) with over 65 terabytes of data capacity; and 200 managed network switches/firewalls/routers and over 50 high speed data circuits supporting 38 City operating locations. Software 25J-1 Agreements For Temporary Consulting Services For Information Technology September 08, 2009 Page 2 applications developed and supported by these contractors included the Santa Ana Property Information Network (SAPIN), the Business License/Tax System, Municipal Utility System, and several other revenue related systems. The contractors are supporting the Financial Enterprise Resource Planning Project. For the Santa Ana Police Department (SAPD) and Santa Ana Jail (SAJ), contractors support mission-critical systems such as the Computer Aided Dispatch, the Jail Management System, Arrest and Booking system, Inmate Search and Reporting system, Case Management system, Police Intranet system, wireless data communications for 175 patrol vehicles, California Law Enforcement Telecommunication system (CLETS) access, PD and Jail Email system, Evidence wireless systems, Daily Roll-call system, and 100 other systems which are critical to the daily operations of the Police and Jail departments. Homeland Security technologies such as the PD Emergency Department Operations Center (DOC), Web based Emergency Operations Center (WebEOC), and Mobile Command Post network systems are supported and maintained by technical contractors. Contractors also help support 3 additional PD substations by managing network systems which provide 185 field officers and investigators access to systems located at the main station. SAPD is using several of these temporary contractors to enhance the Police field reporting system under grant funding. Additionally, technical contracts are instrumental in the implementation of new technologies such as In-Field Fingerprint systems, Patrol wireless ad-hoc wireless system, Homeland Security Mobile Command Post satellite communications system, SAPD/SAJ enterprise Wiki system, Crime Analysis "CrimeView" Web system, "Citizen Observer" community notification system, and more into the organization. Additionally, under a cost reimbursement basis, technical contractors engineered, developed, maintain, and hosts the County-wide network and computing environment for Coplink, which is the Integrated Law & Justice Agency for Orange County (ILJAOC) web-based information sharing and crime analysis system that connects all 29 of Orange County's public law enforcements agencies with other law enforcement agencies throughout southern California, southwest and pacific northwest regions. Without these dedicated and talented professionals, the City information technology infrastructure and operating systems could not function. For the Community Development Agency in City Hall and four remote locations, the contractors support approximately 200 PC's, provide system administration for application and data base servers, develop and maintain custom software for Lease Database tracking, JTA, a Parking Database, YARDI, Affordable Housing Database tracking, and a Rehab Database, Budget Database. 25J-2 Agreements For Temporary Consulting Services For Information Technology September 08, 2009 Page 3 A Request for Proposal (RFP) for Temporary Technical Contract Service and Consulting Services was issued by ISD in March 2007. Twelve proposals were evaluated and the top four vendors were identified. On June 18, 2007, Council approved agreements with these four vendors for a one-year period, with the option of four renewal terms. During the past 24 months, the vendors have provided excellent service and support to the City. Under these agreements, temporary contractors in various technology specialties are engaged on an as needed basis to support City business operations. These engagements greatly differ in duration. This results in a varying rate in the use of the approved funding. Rather than return to the Council at the end of a specific term of one year, staff requests that the term be recognized as the duration until approved funds are fully expended. In September 2008, Council appropriated $3,590,000 which staff estimates will provide services into October 2009, at which time the additional funding will be added to the contract to continue services. Over the term of the agreements with these four vendors, temporary contractors provided by the vendors to the City have directly contributed to the implementation of over 11 new or enhanced City business systems including: the Lawson ERP system, wireless data communications for public safety, the Teen Center for the Library, and the SAY Youth Employment Program 2009. These systems have employed 40+ new servers, 51 terabytes of network based storage, several network switches and dozens of PC workstations, and converted 175 patrol cars to use the City's secure wireless data communications network as their primary connection to Dispatch. The support workload related to these new systems is being achieved through the use of enhanced technologies driven by the contractors and the total compensation in the recommended contract amendments does not reflect any increase.
