RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of Employment and Human Services Director, a purchase order with Carahsoft Technology Corporation in an amount not to exceed $228,170 for the purchase of electronic signature tools for the period October 28, 2019 through Octber 27, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Purchase Order amount for the electronic signature tools purchase is not to exceed $228,170. Funding for this purchase is 5% County, 51% State and 44% Federal.

BACKGROUND:

DocuSign, the product purchased through Carahsoft Technology Inc. is the leading vendor of electronic signature tools in the industry. The signature appliance sold through DocuSign's distributor, Carahsoft Technology, Inc., best meets the needs of the department. The tool is used to electronically sign court documents and distribute them to the courts and attornies. The system has been so successful, the courts have rewritten their rules to incorporate this system of legal documentation and signatures. The tool is also used to sign intradepartmental and interdepartmental documents.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without purchase, Employment and Human Services would not have the availability of electronic signature tools to sign court documents and distribute them to courts and attornies.
