Explanation
§ The city uses RiskMaster software to track information used for processing and maintaining proprietary claim information. City Council approved a contract for these services on February 9, 2015.
§ CSC Cybertek Corporation maintains, upgrades, and provides support for the RiskMaster software.
§ The city has solicited for this type of software and services on two separate occasions since the initial implementation, finding that a system replacement and/or transition to a new system are cost-prohibitive.
§ A disruption to the Risk Management process would negatively impact the responsiveness to internal and external customers.
§ Waiver of a competitive solicitation process for services may be granted on a limited basis when deemed appropriate and in the city’s best interest. A waiver has been approved for these services based on continuity of service.
§ The new estimated value of the contract, including the renewal is $865,000.
