Title
Dollar Limit Increase to the Cooperative Contract for Managed Service Provider for Innovation and Technology Contractor Services for the Department of Innovation and Technology (Citywide)
This contract provides a managed service provider that gives the Department of Innovation and Technology (DoIT) flexibility to supplement internal staffing resources as technology needs, project demands, and organizational priorities evolve. Contract services may include coordinating IT related purchases, serving as a liaison between DoIT and Procurement Services, providing administrative, operational, project management, and architectural systems support, delivering consulting and training services, and providing support for the Topaz Regional Wireless Cooperative (TRWC). The dollar limit increase is needed to provide sufficient contract capacity to address current and anticipated service needs while preserving flexibility to scale support as demand evolves. Approval of the contract dollar limit increase does not increase the DoIT or TRWC budgets.
The Department of Innovation and Technology and Procurement Services recommend increasing the dollar limit using the State of Arizona cooperative contract with GuideSoft, Inc. dba Knowledge Services, by $451,000, from $99,000 to a combined total amount not to exceed $550,000 annually, with an annual increase allowance of up to 5% or the adjusted Consumer Price Index.
