JUSTIFICATION

It is recommended that the Board approve the access of contract 973-561-010-1 awarded by the State of Florida under full and open competition to obtain qualified technical staff to augment County personnel on technology projects at a competitive market price. On July 10, 2009, the State of Florida, Department of Management Services, issued a competitive Request for Proposals (RFP) to establish a contract to create a pre-qualification pool of vendors capable of providing Information and Technology (IT) Consulting Services. The RFP resulted in a pre-qualified pool of IT consultants with an incorporated rate ceiling to protect costs from becoming inflated in future years.

This contract is a multiple-vendor award that provides a broad range of information technology consulting resources to the County. The contract is divided into four major project areas: Project Area I - Analysis and Design, Project Area II - Development and Integration; Project Area III � Operations & Support and Project Area IV - Staff Augmentation. Each project area includes a pre-qualified vendor list for firms capable of competing for work under this contract. Once a specific project is identified, authorized departments will conduct competitive spot market competitions under the specific Project Areas for the work to be completed. The projects awarded under this contract may be supported through the use of fixed price engagements, staff augmentation services, or a combination of the two. Additional firms awarded by the State of Florida may be added to the pool to increase competition as they comply with County requirements. This method of award ensures the County receives the best pricing available in the market at the time the department requires the services.

It is anticipated that this contract will provide the required resources for expanding County technology needs and �green� initiatives. In addition, this contract will be available to support new projects as they are funded, consistent with the County�s strategic goal to use technology in a cost effective manner. Each of the allocations requested on this contract are budgeted and calculated for needs that are to be addressed over the next twelve months. Additional allocation requests will be presented to the Board of County Commission for approval to add funds throughout the term of this contract on a yearly basis. A detailed breakdown of all departmental projects has been included in Table 1 (attached).Authorization is also requested to include contract extensions exercised by the State of Florida. Should an extension be exercised by the State, the departments will be allocated a prorated figure per year equal to the extension period. If additional spending authority greater than the prorated amount is required, staff will present the request to the Board for approval as a contract modification.
