Approve and authorize the Chief Information Officer of Department of Information Technology or his designee to
execute on behalf of the County an agreement with Endymion Systems, Inc. to provide telecommunications
consulting services for infrastructure support at a cost of$150,000 effective April 1, 2001 through September 30.

Support Services, 50 Douglas Drive, Martinez and Employment & Human Services Department, Hall Street,
Richmond.
2. Assist the Department of Child Support Services with the activities necessary to purchase and implement and
automatic call distribution system.
III. REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION AND BACKGROUND:
The Telecommunications section of the Department of Information Technology has the need for assistance in
assessing, procuring and implementing an Automated Call Distribution System and for assisting in the
development of bid specifications for data systems infrastructure. The Telecommunications section does not have
the expertise available to assist the Department of Child Support Services with the implementation of an
Automated Call Distribution system and does not have the necessary expertise to assist the Department of Child
Support Services,Employment and Human Services and District Attorney with the preparation of bid
specifications for data infrastructure within these departments. Endymion Systems has the expertise to perform this
scope of work required by these departments and their assistance will allow the departments to complete their
projects in a timely manner.

Child Support Services, Employment and Human Services Department and the District Attorney.
