CHULA VISTA CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF: March 25, 1975
AGENDA ITEM N0. [ 8 ]
ITEM TITLE: Resolution - Approving Interim Contract with EDP Management, Inc.,
and Waiving Bid Requirements
INITIATED BY: Director of Finance
RACKGR(~ilNil
The Data Systems Division of the Finance Department is in need of backup support
and stand-by services because of the recent resignations of the Supervising
Programmer Analyst and the Programmer Analyst. Both of the employees serving
in these positions were in their probationary periods. In order to carry this
division through the next few months, it is proposed that EDP Management, Inc.,
which has been utilized in this way on an informal basis since the installation
of the computer, be retained in this capacity.
The personnel of this firm are particularly familiar with Burroughs equipment
and our specific programs and, hence, they can provide logical and desirable
service. It is imperative that we provide for continuity in the operation of
this division, not only because of our own City needs, but because of contractual
agreements with other cities.
The attached contract has been approved by EDP Management, Inc., and provides
fora four-month interim contract with a month-to-month continuance unless
terminated by either party. The contract provides for systems design and
analysis at $25.00 per hour and programming at $15.00 per hour. The standard
rate in this area for systems design and analysis is $40.00 per hour and for
programming is $20.00 per hour. The cost of services provided by the firm will
be on a hourly basis for the specific services rendered with a minimum of
$2,750.00 per month to be paid by the City. Any charges over this amount are
to be specifically approved by the City. The cost of this service will be
offset by salary savings within the department.

AGENDA ITEM N0. 8
Data processing and computer operation is a professional service which,
because of its uniqueness, makes it impractical to seek bids, particularly
in light of the City's present emergency needs to provide continuity in
the operation of our Data Systems Division. Because of this and the prior
relationship of EDP Management, Incorporated, with the City's system,
it is recommended that the bidding process be waived and the Council
approve the service contract for operating our computer and data systems.
