RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Sheriff- Coroner, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Synesis Inc., to provide consulting, design development, programming services, and maintenance and support for the Automated Regional Information Exchange System (ARIES) extending the termination date of the contract from June 30, 2017 to December 31, 2017 with no change in the payment limit.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) Grant Funding of up to $225,000; remaining $125,000 ARIES Funding.

BACKGROUND:

The Automated Regional Information Exchange System (ARIES) is a software application owned by Contra Costa County, and used by County and other law enforcement agencies to manage arrest and parolee data collected from law enforcement agencies. ARIES manages arrest and parole data provided by local law enforcement agencies that is stored on a County server. The purpose of this Contract is for Contractor to provide consulting, design development, programming services, and maintenance and support services to the Sheriff’s Office. There are currently more than 8,000 users from over 93 different agencies participating in the system. The contractor will need additional time to complete the obligations of the contract.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

ARIES is a 12 years old system in need of improvements to support a modern, advanced, industry standard model. If this contract amendment is not approved, ARIES will not be able to complete the upgrade and implement the sophisticated data sharing system for more than 8,000 users.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

No impact.
