DATE: May 31, 2001
SUBJECT: Agreement for Contract Analyst Technical Support
Specific Request(s)or Recommendations(s)&Background&justification
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
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 Xytex, Inc. to provide
programming services in the amount of$142,500.00 effective July 1,2001 through June 30, 2002.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
:Funds are budgeted for this contract. DOLT will recover this contracts costs through charges to the
Courts and the District Attornev.
III. REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION AND BACKGROUND:
DOIT has not been able to recruit permanent technical staff with experience in the software products,
specifically COBOL and IDMS,used to development systems for the Courts and the District Attorney
in the early 1.980's. Xytex has the experience in these products and experience with the systems as a
result of their contracts with the County over the last 20 years. Because of the age of these systems and
our inability to attract staff with the software and system experience we need to retain Xytex if we are
to continue to provide effective support for these customers.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the request is not approved Information Technology will not be able to provide timely support to
the Courts and District Attorney.
