SUBJECT: Computer Systems Technical Support
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Chair, Board of Supervisors to amend a contract with Aquarius Public
Management, Inc. by $100,000 and extend the contract through June 30, 1997 to provide computer
system technical support to the Auditor, Human Resources and County Administrator's Office.
BACKGROUND/REASON(S) FOR RECOMMENDATION(!:JAI
):
Over the last §everal years, Aquarius Public Management, Inc. has provided invaluable technical
assistance to a number of departments, including Health Services and General Services Departments
and the Auditor and County Administrator's Offices with regard to computer systems and related
technical services. The firm was involved in the planning for a replacement of the county budget system
which resulted in over$100,000 to the County for the same system or compared to counties purchases.
This contract amendment continues the involvement with the planning and implementation of a new
Human Resources/Payroll system which will substantially streamline records and payroll activities and
thereby save staff time. The current outmoded systems, over 25 years old, do not interface, are labor
intensive and are very costly to maintain and modify. Additionally, the firm will provide expertise to the
County Information Technology Steering Committee.
