Explanation

Background:  This legislation authorizes the Public Service Director to reassign a service contract from Computran Systems Corporation to Computran Systems Engineering, L.L.C.  This contract under City Purchase Order Number ED024678 is for software support services for the City's Computerized Traffic Signal System.  The reassignment is necessary because there was an effective merger of the business interests of Computran Systems Corporation and Dunn Engineering Associates, who formed Computran Systems Engineering L.L.C. for that purpose.

This ordinance officially recognizes these changes as required by the City Auditor's Office and assigns all past, present, and future transactions with Computran Systems Corporation to Computran Systems Engineering, L.L.C.

Emergency action is requested to effect these changes as soon as possible to promote accurate recording of transactions and allow uninterrupted business with this firm.

Fiscal Impact:  No additional funding is required for these assignments.
