SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
NMC is in the process of reducing its reliance on independent contractors. NMC's goal is to fully staff its Information Technology ("IT") department with County employees wherever possible and to rely on the skills and expertise of independent contractors on a limited, project-specific basis when it is in the best interest of the County to do so. In addition, NMC is now in the process of issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) for IT consulting with the RFP selection targeted for completion by end of 2016. While the RFP is in process, NMC needs to ensure that consulting resources and skills are available for current and near future projects. This request is to amend the existing agreement and extend the term date with KPMG by nine months. The nine month extension request is based on a maximum six months for an RFP to be completed and up to three months to transition to the RFP awardees.
