Body
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors:
a. Ratify and authorize the Contracts Purchasing Officer, or the Contracts Purchasing Supervisor, to execute Amendment No. 1 to the Non-Standard Agreement with Accuvant Inc., for consulting and training services for the Information Technology Department, to increase the term of service by three months, from March 31, 2015 to December 31, 2015; and to change the contract amount of $42,700 in the Scope of Services exhibit, paragraph one of Section IV, to reflect the correct contract amount of $42,100; and
b. Authorize the Contracts Purchasing Officer to issue purchase orders on an as-needed basis.
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
On March 24, 2015, the Board of Supervisors approved a non-standard agreement with Accuvant Inc., for the provision of consulting services to migrate existing firewall systems to new appliances, and to provide training to Information Technology Department (ITD) staff on support and maintenance of the new appliances.
Due to the complexity of this project, it is necessary to extend the time to accomplish the services provided by the agreement. The requested extension of three months, to December 31, 2015, will be sufficient to ensure completion of this project.
In the Scope of Services exhibit to the agreement, section IV, Payment Provisions, the stated amount of $42,700 in the first paragraph will be changed to the correct contract amount of $42,100, as set forth in the same section. All other terms of the agreement with Accuvant Inc., including the non-standard terms previously approved by the Board, remain the same.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
County Counsel and Risk Management reviewed the proposed amendment to the Accuvant Inc. agreement and do not approve continuation of the non-standard provisions.
FINANCING:
Financing for this agreement is part of the approved ITD CIP for current year; the funds for payment of this agreement have been included in the FY 15-16 Recommended Budget for the Information Technology Department, 1930, Unit 8436, Appropriation unit INF002. As ITD receives no General Fund contribution, reimbursement of expenditure will come from customers benefitting from this project. Customer departments have those funds built into their respective FY 2015-16 budgets as well.
This Amendment does not impact the cost of this agreement, but rather only extends the term of the agreement.
