$60,000 and extending the ending date of the current agreement from
June 29, 1990 to November 30, 1990 for Accounts Payable/Purchasing,
consulting services .
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
If the recommended action is approved, it will not result in any increased
cost to the County as current appropriation are being used to fund this
contract.
III . REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION AND BACKGROUND:
In 1988 the Auditor and Purchasing were given authority to obtain an Accounts
Payable'/Purchasing System for installation on the County 's central computer.`
Through competitive bidding a system from Manaqement Sciences of America (MSA)
was selected. Data Processing has been assisting the Auditor and Purchasing
with the system's installation , but the project has reached a point where the
assistance of a person experienced in implementing the MSA packages is neces-
sary to insure appropriate policy and procedures for a successful installation
and conversion.
Far West Consulting is a contracting firm with staff experienced in the
installation of MSA packages. Continuing to contract with them will provide
the needed expertise to insure the system is implemented successfully.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract amendment is not approved, installation of the Accounts '
Payable/Purchasing System will continue to be delayed.
