SUBJECT:
Consulting Agreement
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Chair of the Board of Supervisors to execute an
agreement amendment with Pinnacle Consulting, Inc. increasing their
payment limit from $24,950 to $65,000.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This action if approved will not result in any increased cost to Data
Processing Services.
III. REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION AND BACKGROUND:
The current county - payroll system was purchased from Management
Sciences of America (MSA) and installed in 1977. From its installation date
until 1987 the county contracted with MSA for maintenance, installing all
the appropriate upgrades supplied by MSA. In 1987 the Auditor decided not
to install the MSA upgrades as a cost cutting measure. This lack of updates
has made it extremely difficult for the county to maintain the system and
meet some legal payroll requirements. Consequently, the Auditor has
decided to do a major payroll reinstall to bring the payroll system to the
current version with a deadline of the January 10, 1995 payroll. To meet
this date requires numerous upgrades be installed in the system Data
Processing Services has contracted with Pinnacle for assistance because of
their background and expertise with the MSA payroll system to insure this
deadline is met.

in time to meet the January 10, 1995 payroll.
