RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Clerk-Recorder, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with SOE Software Corporation (dba Scytl), to extend the term from December 31, 2016 through December 31, 2018 and increase the payment limit by $150,000 to a new payment limit of $240,000, for web hosting and Election Night reporting.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The cost of this contract is included in the 2016-17 and 2017-18 budgets. The cost is 100% County General Fund.
BACKGROUND:
On September 1, 2015, the County entered into an agreement with SOE Software Corp. to provide web hosting for all Clerk-Recorder-Elections functions, including election information, look-up tools, mobile device support, and election night reporting. Approval of this amendment will allow SOE Software Corp, to continue to provide these services through December 31, 2018.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this extension is not approved, the Department would have to find a new hosting service and develop a new website, on-line applications, and election night reporting tools.
