Body
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends Council approve the Third Amendment to the Consultant Services Agreement with SDI Presence LLC., (SDI) to extend the completion date to December 31, 2020 and authorize the Chief Information Officer or designee to execute the Third Amendment. This Amendment does not increase the contract amount, it is only an extension of time.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On May 18, 2018, the City entered into a Consultant Services Agreement (Agreement) with SDI in an amount not to exceed $130,000 for assistance in assessing and creating an RFP to upgrade or replace its PeopleSoft Financial and HRMS software systems.
Having completed the competitive bid process as of July 2, 2019, City and SDI began the process of reviewing and evaluating the responses. Due to the number and complexity of the responses received, the evaluation and review process was extended to ensure a proper solution could be chosen. The contract was increased by $10,000 and the term of the Agreement extended to September 1, 2020, to allow for a thorough and comprehensive evaluation and selection process.
Since this is a very crucial selection for the City, the team has taken extra time to ensure that the solution that is chosen meets the City's needs. Being a complex project and due to the recent COVID-19 outbreak, ISD is requesting to extend the contract with SDI to December 31, 2020. We anticipate making a selection and presenting to Council in the fall.
