Title
Information Technology Project Management and Consulting Services - RFP 18-050 - Amendment (Ordinance S-50160)
Description
Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to amend Contract 148622 with Barich, Inc. for Information Technology (IT) Project Management and Consulting Services to extend the term of the contract. Further request to authorize the City Controller to disburse all funds related to this item. The additional expenditures will be up to $4,200,000.
Report
Summary
The contract provides IT project management and consulting services for the planning, design, and implementation of IT projects for the Aviation Department. The current contractor, Barich, Inc., is actively involved in several complex multi-year projects, including distributed antenna system, audio paging system replacement, environmental management information system, SharePoint upgrade, employee parking and green business partner initiative, Federal Aviation Administration Part 139 tracking and reporting tool, and the Customs and Border Protection biometric exit program. Because many of these projects are in the critical implementation stage, it is imperative to continue working with Barich and its assigned project staff to complete the implementation and launch of these projects. Transitioning to a new contractor in the middle of these projects would create disruptions, delay service launch, and negatively impact many airport stakeholders. Aviation is diligently working with Barich to complete key projects by the requested new expiration date. Additional funds are necessary to continue working with Barich for the proposed two-year extension.
This item has been reviewed and approved by the Information Technology Services Department.
Contract Term
The contract extension is two years for a seven-year contract term.
Financial Impact
Additional funds in the amount of $4,200,000 will increase the value of the contract up to $12,200,000 for the seven-year contract term. Funds are available in the Aviation Department’s budget.
