for continued application design and development services for PC net-work
environments.
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)8 BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Director of Social Service, or designee, to Amend
Contract #21-358 with Ms Pam Swegles, in the amount of$39,100, for the period of
December 31, 1997 through June 30, 1998, for continued PC net-work application
design and development services.
FISCAL:
The contract costs are claimable as part of the SSD administrative cost, 80% state and
federal funds ($31,280) and 20% county funds ($7,820).
BACKGROUND;
Since June 1996 the Social Service Department has not had an in-house personal
computer application development capability. Efforts are underway to re-establish this
capability through the addition of new positions. One of two authorized positions was
filled mid November. Efforts to fill the second position have proven unsuccessful.
There is a need to have a number of important applications completed as soon as
possible. These include conversion of an in-house personnel database to a newer
product, a contracts management system, a comprehensive government benefits
management system, and a number of survey systems related to welfare reform.
Further delay in development of these systems will compromise the department's
efforts to improve its management of these important areas. The contractor and
County Information Technology staff will be used to develop and maintain the systems
identified until such time as in-house staff and County data processing staff can be
hired to assume responsibility for this function.
