In September 2014, the Board of Supervisors authorized a contract with Karpel Computer Systems, Inc., in the amount of $1,223,205 to provide a modern, web-based case management system for the District Attorney's Office plus four years of system maintenance and support. The first phase of this system, the adult module, was rolled out in late 2015. In 2018, the contract was amended to provide additional user licenses, increase the payment limit to $2,142,122, and extend system maintenance through June 2023. This second amendment in 2020 increased the payment limit to $2,332,122 with no change to the contract term to provide for the development of up to ten interfaces for local law enforcement agencies to electronically file their criminal complaints with the District Attorney's Office instead of transmission by facsimile.
One element of the original service plan - juvenile data conversion -- could only be scheduled for production concurrent with development of a case management system for the Probation Department. The Probation case management system, Tyler Supervision, is scheduled to go live this summer. Completion of the conversion of legacy system juvenile data is necessary to implement Tyler Supervision. The proposed third contract amendment will compensate Karpel for additional services to complete the conversion of legacy system juvenile data, which will be used in both the Probation and District Attorney case management systems.
Should the recommendation not be approved, the County will be unable to fully implement the Probation and District Attorney case management systems.
