Explanation
§ On November 23, 2015, City Council approved a two year contract with CIBER Global, LLC for information technology (IT) professional services.
§ The contract is due to expire on November 28, 2017.
§ The City needs to retain these services in order to maintain continuity of operations on a variety of critical information technology projects.
§ Professional services provided by this contractor includes but is not limited to:
- Development and execution of the testing strategy for the City’s major enterprise systems including Munis and PeopleSoft.
- Implementation and administration of the defect and testing management system, as well as management of the use of the City’s testing automation tool, Unified Functional Testing (UFT).
- Participation in selection, onboarding, developing, and supervision of Testing Team members.
§ The project to which these services have been assigned is still in progress, therefore it would be inefficient to recruit and train replacement contractors to perform this work.
§ A waiver of a competitive solicitation process may be granted when deemed appropriate and in the City’s best interest. Such a finding has been made and a waiver granted for this procurement.
§ The estimated contract expenditures is $175,000 annually over the two year term.
