Explanation
This legislation authorizes the Executive Director of the Civil Service Commission to enter into contract modification No. 2 with Veritext, LLC for Court Reporting Services to ensure funding is available for the historical recording of regular commission and trial board meetings as mandated via the City Charter and Commission Rules. This includes attendance and transcription services, original depositions and scanned exhibits.
The Commission previously executed a contract on March 9, 2024 with Anderson Reporting Services, Inc. for Court Reporting Services from June 1, 2024 to May 31, 2025. Anderson Reporting Services, Inc. was recently acquired by Veritext, LLC and the company had changed their name and Federal Identification Number. Ordinance #3218-2024, passed December 9, 2024 authorized the assignment of all past, present and future business done by the City of Columbus with Anderson Reporting Services, Inc. FID #31-1432008, to be reassigned to Veritext, LLC, FID #20-3132569. At the time of this previous Ordinance, it was not anticipated that additional funding would be needed. Due to the nature and extent of several investigations and unanticipated Special meetings, additional court reporting services were necessary and the funding was depleted much faster than anticipated.
At this time, it is necessary to execute modification #2 of the current contract to add additional funding to allow for the timely and complete processing of payments through the end of the contract period of May 31, 2025.
