Explanation
BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Department of Technology (DoT), on behalf of the Transportation Division, to enter into contract with Compuware Corporation under the terms and conditions established within the universal term contract (UTC) FL900403, for consulting and application development services, for Transportation's integrated project management system (IPMS). The IPMS application is a comprehensive web-based project management system that allows Transportation's project managers to effectively distribute information, coordinate and manage projects. Without IPMS, there will be no centralized project management repository for efficient and timely sharing of project information or project monitoring. Also, the Transportation Division will have difficulty in sharing Transportation's capital improvement project information among the necessary personnel in the division or department; project managers will not have an effective and comprehensive means to perform planning, budgeting, programming and design, bidding, contracting, construction management, and project delivery functions and feedback.
FISCAL IMPACT: Originally, DoT personnel were to have performed the work, however unforeseen workload changes necessitate the assistance of an outside contractor. Funds, formerly budgeted for equipment have been identified for this expense. A transfer within the 2004 Department of Technology appropriation authority will be necessary in the amount of $50,000.
EMERGENCY: Emergency legislation is requested to immediately facilitate prompt contract execution and related payment for services.
