RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Chief Information Officer, Department of Information Technology, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with E-3 Systems to extend the term from February 28, 2023 to June 30, 2024 and increase the payment limit by $2,000,000 to a new contract payment limit of $2,600,000 to continue to provide specialized telecommunications cabling services.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The cost of this contract is paid for by the Department of Information Technology and is reimbursed by departments or agencies receiving the services. 100% User Departments.

BACKGROUND:

The Department of Information Technology (DoIT) utilizes E-3 Systems to provide infrastructure installation and repairs related to telecommunication projects. Over the last several years the Telecommunications Department has lost experienced Telecommunications Specialists who possessed the skills to handle the regular demand of County requested telecommunication and cabling projects. As a result of these retirements, DoIT has used E-3 Systems to augment its permanent workforce to complete requested projects in a timely manner. After a targeted recruitment process, DoIT has hired several new technicians that will alleviate the routine cabling work completed by E-3. However, the specialized services performed by E-3 is necessary for the immediate future. Projects that are currently being worked on include the new building at 1026 Escobar Street, the Reentry Program Building at the West County Detention Facility, and the X-ray/MRI Facility at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this request is not approved, DoIT will be unable to meet the current demands of customer services needs in a timely manner.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

None.
