Report
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors:
Approve and authorize the Contracts/Purchasing Officer or Contracts/Purchasing Supervisor to execute Renewal & Amendment #4 for Advanced Computer Technology Solutions Inc dba Alliance Career Training Solutions retroactive to June 1, 2021 and extend the term date for one (1) additional year through May 31, 2022 to provide continuity of services identified in the original Agreement for Countywide Service Agreements (CSAs).
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
The CSA between the County of Monterey and Advanced Computer Technology Solutions Inc. dba Alliance Career Training Solutions (ACTS) had been in place for a period of five (5) years. On June 15, 2016., the Board of Supervisors authorized a three-year term for the CSA, with the option of two one-year extensions. . Consequently, the last authorized one-year extension expired on May 31, 2021. The Contracts/Purchasing Division had intended to issue a new Request for Proposals (RFP) for the services provided under this CSA. However, because of the COVID-19 response, it was necessary for Contracts/Purchasing to focus resources on the activation of the Logistics section and on other CSAs that directly impact County services related to COVID-19.
Approval of the recommended action will provide the County with continuity of business and training in desktop applications and related topics, training and testing for technical certifications in the information technology industry, as well as customized technical training and consulting services while Contracts/Purchasing completes a formal solicitation process.
This request is to execute RENEWAL AND AMENDMENT NO. 4 retroactive to June 1, 2021 with a term through May 31, 2022. All other terms, conditions, and pricing remain the same as outlined in the original Agreement and subsequent amendments thereto.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
County Counsel has approved as to form. The Auditor-Controller’s office has reviewed and approved as to fiscal provisions.
FINANCING:
Funds for these services are contained within the approved budget allocations of the departments utilizing the services. Expenditures will depend on the actual services requested by individual County departments. All Terms and Conditions and Pricing remain the same.
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS STRATEGIC INITIATIVES:
These actions will help ensure the timely provision of necessary services to all County Departments.
