ASSOCIATES TO PROVIDE BUSINESS LICENSING SOFTWARE AND SALES
AND USE TAX SERVICES
Page 2 -Council Agenda http://www.chulavistaca.gov August 17, 2010
Staff issued a Request for Proposal for business license software and sales and use tax
services to increase efficiency through enhanced automation, and to improve business
license enforcement through sales tax data integration. The current business licensing
system requires a significant amount of staff support from the City's ITS Department,
and due to the recent budget cuts, ITS is no longer able to support the annual business
license online renewal process. Also, the current system does not have the ability to
interface with sales tax data electronically which is an important tool for enforcement.
Adoption of the resolution approves the agreement with Hinderliter, de Llamas and
Associates. (Director ofFinance/Treasurer)

office is interconnected with the main HVAC system for the entire Public Works
building, therefore, the main system cools or heats the entire building as required for the
Transit offices. Splitting the systems by installing a completely separate heat pump unit,
supply and return air ducting system for the Transit offices will save $282,700 kWh per
year, a cost savings of approximately $32,110 annually. The project will be funded
through SDG&E 0%-interest on-bill financing and incentives. (Director of Public
Works/Director of Conservation and Environmental Services)
