Management District Board

Recommendation to Amend Contracts with

Telos Consulting Services and Mosakin Corporation

to Increase Funding for Systems Development Work



At its June 10, 1994 and May 12, 1995 meetings, the Board approved awarding contracts for Systems Development Services to Telos Consulting Services (Telos) and the Mosakin Corporation (Mosakin), respectively. These are task order type contracts, where individual work orders are issued on a competitive basis. These contracts are for a one-year period with two options for one-year renewals. The current contracts were funded from the Information Management Fiscal Year 1994-95 Budget. During the contract period, additional funding is provided as system development requirements are identified and task orders issued.

Ten task orders (Attachment 1) are scheduled to be awarded by September 30, 1995. The estimated cost to complete the work on these task orders exceeds the amount of funding in the existing contracts. Staff recommends that the contracts be modified to add additional funding in the amount of $200,000 for Telos and $70,000 for Mosakin. These amounts are based on the funds remaining in the existing contracts, and a cost estimation of the upcoming task order awards. Funds for these tasks are included in the approved Fiscal Year 1995-96 Budget for Information Management.

This recommendation was reviewed and approved by the Administrative Committee on July 21, 1995.

THEREFORE, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOUR BOARD

--Authorize the Chairman of the Board to execute amendments to the District's contracts with Telos Consulting Services in an amount of $200,000 for the continuation of systems development services.

--Authorize the Chairman of the Board to execute amendments to the District's contracts with Mosakin Corporation in an amount of $70,000 for the continuation of systems development services.

Respectfully,

James M. Lents, Ph.D.

Executive Officer
