SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS
Accept the Statement of Work with Amzur Technologies for Supplemental Staffing Services (Information and Technology Division)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On June 16, 2015, the Procurement Department, in conjunction with the Information and Technology (IT) Division, issued a Request for Qualification (RFQ) 13073-DST IT Supplemental Staffing.  The RFQ identified qualified providers who are able to supply temporary staffing for the district’s IT Division on an as-needed basis.  Based on the current need for services and the availability of Teacher Incentive Fund (TIF) grant funding to spend on those services, the Procurement Department, on behalf of the IT Division, used the RFQ results and Vendor Bid to submit a request for an AIX Systems Administrator. 

There were 17 providers that responded with 63 applicants for the AIX Systems Administrator position. Considering price, experience, preference for US citizenship or US permanent residency, and contractors registered with the Office of Supplier Diversity (OSD), we selected one applicant from Amzur Technologies, as the best qualified for the AIX Systems Administrator.  Amzur Technologies is a registered vendor with OSD.  The contracted engagement will end by September 30, 2015.

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
• Recruit, develop, and retain a highly effective, diverse workforce
FINANCIAL IMPACT (Budgeted:  Yes)
This agreement represents an amount not to exceed $20,400.  It is a time and materials arrangement where the district will only pay for the hours of service provided.  There are no additional fees for travel or per diem expenses.  TIF funds are included in the Information and Technology Division budget for this expense.
EVALUATION
The IT Division will oversee and monitor the conduct of these services and has the option to terminate the agreement at any time.
