Explanation

BACKGROUND:
This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Department of Technology and the Executive Director of the Civil Service Commission, on behalf of the Civil Service Commission, to renew and modify an agreement with Governmentjobs.com (also known as NeoGov) for an applicant and test management software system. The original agreement with NeoGov (ED038195) was established March 11, 2009. The agreement was most recently renewed by authority of ordinance 1793-2011, passed November 14, 2011, through purchase order EL012296.

The modification will also provide a subscription to the hosted application for the period January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013. The cost of the modification for the training and one year subscription service is $37,000.00.
