RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with QueBit Consulting LLC to increase the payment limit by $50,000 to a new payment limit of $150,000 and extend the term from August 1, 2018 through August 1, 2019, to provide technical assistance with the IBM Cognos Software and TM1 database application, Countywide. Project No.: 6P1030. (All Districts)

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Local Road and Transportation Funds.

BACKGROUND:

In 2013, the Public Works Department purchased IBM Cognos Software and TM1 database application to be used for the Capital Road Improvement and Preservation Program (CRIPP) Tool Project. The CRIPP is a programming document detailing the estimated funding sources and expenditures for capital road improvement projects within the County and provides a strategic plan and schedule for engineering and maintenance work for the next seven years. The purpose of the CRIPP Tool Project is to facilitate production of the CRIPP documents and to provide a tool in the budgeting process and managing of capital road improvement projects.

QueBit Consulting LLC was selected to provide technical assistance with the CRIPP Tool Project to support Public Works Department staff with the software and development of the associated database. It is recommended to extend the term of the existing contract and increase the payment limit to allow this firm to continue to provide the above services required for the implementation of the CRIPP Tool Project and to complete any existing tasks.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the Contract is not approved, the CRIPP Tool Project may not be completed in a timely manner, which may jeopardize production of the CRIPP document and annual road program budget.
