Approving Agreement with TEKSystems, Inc. for Technology Services
b
SUMMARY:
The Water Authority, at times, requires additional highly technical resources to provide various information systems hardware and software services. This is needed due to short-term projects being implemented, required expertise that Water Authority personnel may need, or when staff vacancies result in the need for short term technical assistance.
This agreement will provide the Water Authority on-call assistance in various information technology services, such as those described above.
The Water Authority is using an existing State Purchasing Agreement for this contract. The Water Authority will contract with TEKsystems until the State Purchasing Agreement expires or is renewed. If the agreement is renewed, the Water Authority is authorized by the Board to renew our agreement if mutually agreed upon by TEKsystems and the Water Authority. The initial agreement will terminate on June 30, 2013.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The cost of this agreement is approximately $150,000. The Water Authority has budgeted the capital and operating resources to cover this agreement.
COMMENTS:
TEKsystems provides temporary information technology experienced staffing services. Given the technical knowledge needed to step in and assist on operating or planned data systems requires skill and expertise that is not readily available through regular temporary staffing agencies. Services will be requested on an as needed basis to insure that information technology services are adequately delivered and maintained.
