SUBJECT: Authorize a Professional Services Agreement for Technology Staffing and Placement
Services with Digital Intelligence Systems Corporation, Hudson Highland Group, Inc.,
Matrix Resources , Inc., and Sentari Technologies , Inc., for the Information Technology
Solutions Department at an Annual Expenditure of Up to $968,725.00
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute Professional Services
Agreements for technology staffing and placement services with Digital Intelligence Systems
Corporation, Hudson Highland Group, Inc., Matrix Resources, Inc., and Sentari Technologies, Inc.,
for the Information Technology Solutions Department at an annual expenditure of up to $968,725.00 .
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of these service agreements is to allow the Information Technology Solutions
Department (ITS) to have agreements in place for staff augmentation to assist in the development
and implementation of technology projects and services in the City. These projects would include but
not be limited to: 1) assistance in the installation and implementation of software packages; 2)
assistance for short-term resolution of problems, such as staffing shortages for technology related
projects; and 3) staffing placement in City departments such as ITS, Financial Management Systems,
Municipal Court and Code Compliance.
On May 14, 2009, proposals were received in response to the ITS staffing services Request for
Proposal (RFP) No. 08-0335. ITS staff evaluated the proposals and recommends that the requested
staff augmentation be awarded to Digital Intelligence Systems Corporation, Hudson Highland Group,
Inc., Matrix Resources, Inc., and Sentari Technologies, Inc.
Digital Intelligence Systems Corporation, Hudson Highland Group, Inc., are the two new companies
selected from the recent RFP. Matrix Resources, Inc., and Sentari Technologies, Inc., have already
been providing contractors to the City the past three years. There are currently 13 contractors from
Matrix and Sentari, (for projects in ITS and Financial Management Systems and vacancy backfills)
with the City. The areas in which the contractors are working include Applications, Desktop, Help
Desk, Business Analysis and Planning , Project Management, ITS Operations and Business
Coordination. The Fiscal Year 2009 expenditures for these two vendors total $948,721.00. If the
current on board contractors stay with the City for all of Fiscal Year 2010 then the projected
expenditures would be $1,660,672.00 . To help manage expenditures, this request is for $968,725.00
which is expected to take us through May 2010 at which time we will come back to City Council for
additional authorization. •
BID ADVERTISEMENT -The RFP was advertised in the Fort Worth Star Telegram on April 8, 2009
and April 15, 2009. The City received 37 proposals .
For each staff augmentation or project request, the four recommended vendors will be provided a
City Requirements Statement and given the opportunity to reply to the specific request by providing a
Statement of Work or candidate referrals . The vendor which provides the most effective and feasible
Statement of Work will be selected. ITS will work with both the customer department and the Budget

;Department to ensure that adequate funds are budgeted for all projects utilizing these services.
Vendors were also asked to submit responses for the cost of placing employees for ITS Department's
vacant positions. Use of this portion of the agreements will be limited to placements where normal
recruiting efforts may yield few qualified applicants and filling the vacancy is mission critical.
The vendors were informed that no guarantee is made for the amount of service that may be
purchased under this agreement.
M/WBE -The vendors are in compliance with the City's MWBE Ordinance by committing 10 percent
M/WBE participation. The City's goal on this project is 10 percent.
RENEWAL OPTIONS -These agreements may be renewed up to three successive one year terms
at the City's option. This action does not require specific City Council approval provided that the City
Council has appropriated sufficient funds to satisfy the City's obligation during the renewal term.
ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGE ORDER-An administrative change order or increase may be made for
each agreement by the City Manager for an amount up to $25,000 .00 and does not require specific
City Council approval as long as sufficient funds have been appropriated.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that funds are available in the current operating
budget, as appropriated, of the participating departments.

SUBJECT: Authorize Increase of Funds by $1,482,000.00 for the Existing Professional Services
Agreements for Technology Staffing and Placement Services with Digital Intelligence
Systems Corporation , Matrix Resources, Inc., and Sentari Technologies, Inc., for the
Information Technology Solutions Department
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to increase the dollar cap for the
existing Professional Services Agreements for Technology Staffing and Placement Services with
Digital Intelligence Systems Corporation, Matrix Resources, Inc., and Sentari Technologies, Inc., by
$1,482,000.00 for the Information Technology Solutions Department.
DISCUSSION:
On November 16, 2010, (M&C C-24607) the City Council authorized an increase of funds by
$743,028 .00 for the existing Professional Services Agreements for Technology Staffing and
Placement Services with Digital Intelligence Systems Corporation, Matrix Resources , Inc., and
Sentari Technologies, Inc. To maintain current levels of service for seven months through the end of
September 2011, staff is now requesting an additional increase of $1,482,000.00 in expenditures with
the three named vendors .
In order to await the outcome of the IT sourcing project, staff has only been requesting the
continuation of contractual support to fill staff vacancies on a quarterly basis. Now that the sourcing
study is complete, in order to maintain the current service levels without interruption, staff is
requesting additional funding for support contracts until the end of this fiscal year (September). Staff
will begin to hire employees to fill vacancies created during the sourcing study as time permits.
The purpose of these service agreements is to allow the City to have agreements in place for staff
augmentation to assist in the development and implementation of technology projects and services in
the City such as email archival , laptop encryption, disaster recovery, radio towers, radio re-banding,
and Buyspeed Online projects. Hiring contract labor has provided staff augmentation to address
significant attrition with costs offset by salary, benefit and other savings and other reimbursements.
The estimate of salary and benefit savings resulting from current vacancies is $1,164,975.00.
M/WBE -Digital Intelligence Systems Corporation, Matrix Resources, Inc., and Sentari Technologies,
Inc., a certified M/WBE firm, have all previously and continue to commit to comply with their 10
percent M/WBE participation on all expenditures through the end of the contract period .
ADMINISTRATIVE AMENDMENT-An administrative amendment or increase may be made for each
agreement by the City Manager for an amount up to $50,000.00 and does not require specific City
Council approval as long as sufficient funds have been appropriated .

budgets, as appropriated, of the General Fund and Information Systems Fund.
