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.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that funds are available in the current operating
budgets, as appropriated, of the General Fund and Information Systems Fund .
