Title: To modify and increase an existing contract with Abacus Corporation for temporary staffing services for imaging preparation and scanning for the Office of the City Auditor, Division of Income Tax; to authorize the expenditure of $32,000; and to declare an emergency ($32,000).
Explanation

This ordinance authorizes an increase in the obligation of an existing contract for temporary staffing services for the preparation and imaging of tax documents in the Office of the City Auditor, Division of Income Tax. In order to maintain current productivity and continue to automate the movement of documents for the audit process, it is prudent that the division retain the temporary staff positions currently assigned to assist in the preparation and scanning processes. The Office of the Auditor, Income Tax Division processed a bid for temporary services (SO026325) and three (3) bids were received. Abacus Corporation was deemed the lowest and most responsive bid. This legislation will modify and increase the existing contract for temporary staffing services with Abacus Corporation.


Background:
The Division of Income Tax implemented an imaging and workflow application to automate the processing of tax documents calling for the preparation of documents received as well as those previously filed to facilitate scanning images thereof. Additional staffing was required to initiate and maintain this process and, as the Division is currently at authorized strength, there arose a need for temporary staffing services to assist with the preparation of documents to be scanned as well as with the scanning of those documents. Abacus Corporation has provided staffing services for the Division since September 2007. In order to maintain productivity and in an effort to not waste resources and compromise production with retraining new staff, the Office of the City Auditor, Division of Income Tax requests increasing the existing contract with Abacus Corporation. Abacus Corporation's contract compliance number is 52-0554932 expiring on 8/28/2009.
