c FLORIDA CENTER FOR PUBLIC MANAGEMENT y .V. The Florida State University June 20, 1985 Mr. Mike Wright County Administrator Indian River County 1840 25th Street Vero Beach, Florida 32960 Dear Mike: Tallahassee, Florida 32306 (904) 644-6460 As you requested in our.meeting Monday, I'm forwarding to you this letter and the attached Letter of Agreement containing the details of the relationship between the County and the Florida Center For Public Management with regards to the development of a county wide strategic data processing plan. As the Data Processing Committee requested, the Florida Center for Public Management would --.be happy to assist the County in developing a strategic plan' -for all departments within county government. I have estimated -that the job will take no more than 12 days of effort by our staff. Effective July 1, our daily rate will be $425 per --day plus travel and expenses. Therefore, I have written a Letter of Agreement so that it specifies that staff time charges will not exceed $5,100. The work product produced by FCPM under this agreement will provide the County with a detailed set of the functional requirements for computer support needed by each Department and Constitutional Officer. Working with County staff, we will meet with each Department and develop a series of requirements lists. Those lists will in turn, be reviewed by the Data Processing Committee, and have priorities set against them. The end product to be produced by this effort will be an outline of the projected data processing needs and requirements for the next 4 to 5 years. The next step for the County will be to identify required resources, organizational structure, and approaches to implement the various components of the plan. Such an implementation plan is not part of this Letter of Agreement. As I indicated Monday, we are already working with your Supervisor of Elections to help her choose new vote tabulating equipment. In addition, we have several clients in the east -central Florida area. Indian River County with judicious scheduling, should be able to share travel costs with these clients. This should help to keep the total expense cost for this project to a minimum. The attached Letter of Agreement represents the form of contract we usually use when doing business with local government and state agencies. If you have questions, please call and we will do out best to get you what you need. I look forward to working with you, and with the rest of the County Departments. Thank you for the opportunity to help. incerely, Thomas C. Director Management Foss Systems Project 73 JL 10 1985 BOOK 6 1 P1,;F 485
