Under Contract #23-620, the Contractor will provide services through December 31, 2019. The Subscription Agreement obligates the County to indemnify the contractor for claims arising out of County data stored by vendor, and third party claims that the application caused damages.

Continued support regarding the highly specialized consulting and computer programming expertise provided by the Contractor.
