Explanation
This legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Technology (DoT), on behalf of the Office of Diversity and Inclusion (ODI), to enter into a contract with OnActuate Consulting, Inc. to finalize Phases I and II of development and implementation of the B2GNow Certification Management project.
Ordinance 1935-2021 authorized entering into contract with OnActuate Consulting, Inc., in the amount of $28,700.00 to initiate Phase I of the project. This ordinance authorizes entering into contract to finalize Phases I and II at a cost not to exceed $100,000.00 (replacing ordinance 1935-2021). The contract will become effective on the date of a confirmed purchase order by the City Auditor’s Office and will end on December 31, 2022.
The B2Gnow application will replace the city’s limited-function BiZTrak system and will include a compliance module and the ability to access utilization reports. This new system will allow ODI to better manage and access the City’s compliance data.
This ordinance also authorizes the transfer and appropriation of $100,000.00 in the general permanent improvement fund (GPIF) and amends the 2021 capital improvement budget to enable the above-described activity.
Additionally, this ordinance authorizes a waiver of competitive bidding, in accordance with relevant provisions of Chapter 329 of the Columbus City Code. Given the extensive work already performed by OnActuate, on this project, it is in the City’s best interests to waive competitive bidding requirements.
Finally, this ordinance authorizes the expenditure of $100,000.00 for the above-described purpose.
