D. Computer Consultant Contract Amendment (Budg. Amendmt #002) The Board reviewed memo from the Community Development Director: TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: James Chandler County Administrator i Robert M. Keating, AICP AMKI Community Development Director October 16, 1990 COMPUTER CONSULTANT CONTRACT AMENDMENT REQUEST - (BUDGET AMENDMENT 4002) It is requested that the data provided herein be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular meeting of October 23, 1990. DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS On March 27, 1990, the Board of County Commissioners approved a contract between Indian River County and Tindale - Oliver, Associates. This contract provided for design of a computerized development review and concurrency management system. As part of the contract, the consultant was required to link the development review/ concurrency system to the county's automated building permit system on the AS400. Instead, the consultant offered for no additional cost to install and customize his proprietary building permit system on the planning division's PC based local area network. This change was approved by the board in May, 1990, and additional computer equipment to support this change was acquired by the building division. Current plans call for the system to be operational by the first part of November. By that time the staff must be trained on the system and familiar with its operation. ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS As of this time the consultant has initiated the training required under the contract. Based upon progress made to this point and given the number of building division staff to be trained, it now appears that additional training will be necessary. Without additional training, the staff will not have the capability to operate the system to its potential when the system is made operational. With an additional day and one-half, adequate training can be given to ensure that the staff will be capable of operating the system. The additional training will involve 12 hours of the consultant's time at a cost of $780. This amount reflects a charge of $65 per hour, the amount referenced in the approved contract far additional work. While such additional services are provided for by the contract, an amendment to the contract must be approved by the board. A copy of the proposed amendment is attached to this item. Since this training involves building division staff, the $780 would come from a budget amendment reducing cash carried forward from the.FY89-90 budget by $780 and increasing other professional services in the FY90-91 budget by $780. �o�� 81 FADE 723
