CITY COUNCIL AGENDA rURT�WORTII
COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 3/27/2018
REFERENCE** LOG 04AMENDMENT TO MAYOR AND
DATE: 3/27/2018 NO.: C-28636 NAME: COUNCIL C-27983 SRB SYSTEMS
CODE: C TYPE: CONSENT PUBLIC NO
HEARING:
SUBJECT: Authorize Amendment to Mayor and Council Communication C-27983 to Authorize
Execution of a Professional Services Agreement for Technology Staffing and Placement
Services with SRB Systems, Inc., Adding SRB Systems, Inc., as a Fifth Staff
Augmentation Vendor for the Information Technology Solutions Department (ALL
COUNCIL DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize an amendment to Mayor and Council
Communication C-27983 to authorize execution of a Professional Services Agreement for
Technology Staffing and Placement Services with SRB Systems, Inc., as a fifth staff augmentation
vendor for the Information Technology Solutions Department.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Professional Services Agreement (Agreement) is to add a fifth staff
augmentation vendor for the Information Technology Solutions (ITS) Department and other City
departments to have Agreements in place to assist in the development and implementation of
technology projects and to use as temporary backfills for staffing vacancies.
On November 1, 2016, City Council authorized execution of four staff augmentation Professional
Services Agreements using Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR) prices. ITS is
recommending the addition of a fifth company, SRB Systems, Inc., to the original authorization to
provide the City with eligible candidates offering a highly technical skill set. ITS is not asking for
additional fiscal authorization.
SRB Systems, Inc., pricing will be under a Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR)
contract identical to current staff augmentation contracts. Texas Department of Information
Resources is authorized to offer the Cooperative Purchasing Program to state agencies, public
institutions of higher learning, public school districts and local governments. Pursuant to state law,
a local government that purchases goods or services under the Interlocal Cooperation Act satisfies
otherwise applicable competitive bidding requirements.
M/WBE OFFICE-A waiver of the goal for MBE/SBE subcontracting requirements was requested
by the Department and approved by the M/WBE Office, in accordance with the DBE Ordinance,
because the purchase of goods or services is from source(s) where subcontracting or supplier
opportunities are negligible.
ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGE ORDER- An administrative change order or increase may be made
by the City Manager for an amount up to $100,000.00 and does not require specific City Council
approval as long as sufficient funds have been appropriated.
AGREEMENT TERMS - Upon City Council approval, this Agreement with SRB Systems, Inc.,
shall begin upon final execution and expire in accordance with the DIR contract.

M&C Review
RENEWAL OPTIONS - This Agreement may be renewed for two additional one-year terms at the
City's option, per the conditions established in the contract between the DIR and the individual
vendor. This action does not require specific City Council approval provided the City Council has
appropriated sufficient funds to satisfy the City's obligation during the renewal terms.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The approval of this action provides contract authority for SRB Systems, Inc., to be included in the
current authorization of$2,100,000.00 annually. The Director of Finance certifies that prior to an
expenditure being made, the participating department has the responsibility to validate the
availability of funds.
