RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Chief Information Officer, Department of Information Technology, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Graviton Consulting Services, Inc., to extend the term from June 30, 2022 to June 30, 2023 and to increase the payment limit by $220,000 to a new payment limit of $440,000 to provide PeopleSoft technical support services.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The cost for this contract is within the Department of Information Technology’s budget (100% General Fund)

BACKGROUND:

Over this last fiscal year, the department worked with the Human Resources Department to recruit and fill for a vacancy in the PeopleSoft/Kronos Unit. Unfortunately, out of the ten candidates that met the minimum qualifications for the County-wide classification of Information Systems Programmer and Analyst IV, none of them possessed the knowledge, skills or abilities to successfully perform the tasks of an Information Systems Programmer and Analyst in this unit. We are again working with the Human Resources Department to initiate another recruitment and will include supplemental questions that may target those individuals that have specific knowledge in the PeopleSoft/Kronos area. Until we are successful in recruiting a permanent employee, the department is requesting to extend the contract with Graviton Consulting Services, Inc. who is currently providing the day-to-day technical services to support the Payroll, Human Resources and Benefits Administration modules.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the unit will continue to function understaffed and will not have the advanced PeopleSoft technical expertise that is needed at this time.
