RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, as follows: (1) Cancellation Agreement #23-553-2, with Aspira Technologies, Inc., a corporation, effective on the close of business on November 30, 2014; and (2) Contract #23-553-3 in an amount not to exceed $408,500, to provide consultation and technical assistance to the Department’s Information Systems Unit on information technology analytics, for the period from December 1, 2014 through June 30, 2016.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 100% by Enterprise Fund I. (Rate Increase)

BACKGROUND:

On January 14, 2014, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #23-553 (as amended by Amendment Agreement #23-553-1) with Aspira Technologies, Inc. for the provision of consultation and technical assistance to the Department’s Information Systems Unit on information technology analytics, for the period from December 1, 2013 through June 30, 2016.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The Division experienced a delay in finalizing the contract due to lengthy negotiations requiring more time than anticipated. The County requested, and the Contractor agreed to continue providing services with no break in service. In consideration of Contractor’s agreement to continue providing services, both parties have agreed to re-negotiate the Contract Payment Provisions and the term, to reflect the intent of the parties. Therefore, in accordance with General Conditions Paragraph 5 (Termination), of the Contract, the Department and Contractor have agreed to a mutual cancellation of this Contract. Approval of Cancellation Agreement #23-553-2 will accomplish this termination.

Approval of Contract #23-553-3 will allow the Contractor to continue providing consultation and technical assistance to the Department’s Information Systems Unit, through June 30, 2016.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the County will not have management oversight of the Information Technology Analytics Unit.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
