SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS
Accept the Statement of Work with TEC-LINK, LLC for Supplemental Staffing Services (Information and Technology Division)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On December 11, 2013, 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 able to supply temporary staffing for the district’s IT Division on an as-needed basis.  Based on the current need for services, the Procurement Department, on behalf of the IT Division, used the RFQ results and Vendor Bid to submit a request for a Network Analyst with high-level experience in installation, configuration, monitoring, troubleshooting, and design of Cisco WAN infrastructure.

There were 17 providers that responded with 32 applicants for the Network Analyst position.  Considering price, experience, preference for US Citizenship or US Permanent Residency, and contractors registered with the Office of Supplier Diversity (OSD), we selected the best-qualified applicant from TEC-LINK, LLC.  The vendor is a registered vendor with OSD. 

The contracted engagement will end June 30, 2016.  The district and the contractor may renew the agreement, for a period that may not exceed three years.  The Superintendent is authorized to approve the renewal agreement per the terms of the specifications.

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
• Demonstrate best financial practices
FINANCIAL IMPACT (Budgeted:  Yes)
This agreement represents an annual amount not to exceed $112,000. 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.  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.
