Explanation

BACKGROUND:
This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Department of Technology on behalf of the Civil Service Commission, to modify a contract with Governmentjobs.com (also known as NeoGov) for application hosting services in support of the Insight Enterprise applicant and test management software system. The original agreement with NeoGov (ED038195) was established March 11, 2009. The agreement was most recently renewed and modified by authority of ordinance 2826-2016, passed December 5, 2016, through purchase order PO040780. This ordinance will provide hosting services from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018 at a cost of $41,564.12.

This ordinance also authorizes the Director of the Department of Technology on behalf of the Civil Service Commission, to modify a contract with Governmentjobs.com (also known as NeoGov) for software licensing for the TestGenius™ application, in the amount of $29,995.00, for the term period one (1) year from the date of the purchase order confirmed/approved by the Columbus City Auditor’s office.
The Commission has a need to acquire online job analysis data collection and offsite testing software/functionality that integrates with its current NEOGOV Insight™ applicant tracking/test management software. The only software available that provides this functionality and currently integrates with the NEOGOV Insight™ product is the TestGenius™ add-on, provided through NEOGOV’s partner, Biddle Consulting Group, Inc.

This ordinance is being submitted in accordance with the provisions of the Sole Source procurement of the City of Columbus Code, Chapter 329.
