Explanation

This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify and extend contract PO300588 with Performance Consulting Services, Inc. (PCS) for training services for the Department of Public Utilities (DPU). The Evolving Leader Development (ELD) Initiative is designed to provide tools, strategies and techniques to increase depth and capacity in becoming a more impactful leader through professional self-awareness and confidence, individual and workplace team engagement and management and organizational success outcomes. The Department of Public Utilities had previous agreements with Performance Consulting Services for The Evolving Leader Development program and wishes to continue with this program.

Due to the proprietary nature of the Performance Consulting Services trainings that are listed in the Scope of Work which are specific to the Department of Public Utilities, it is in the best interest of the City to waive the provisions of competitive bidding and enter into contract with Performance Consulting Services.

The original contract was established from date of execution by the City to completion by the vendor. Due to the proprietary nature of the trainings, this ordinance is being submitted in accordance with the relevant provisions of Chapter 329 of the City Code pertaining to the waiver of competitive bidding. All other terms and conditions of the original agreement remain in full force and effect. This modification No. 1 includes an extension of time and an additional $95,000.00 (includes contingency funds of $2,904.36). If unforeseen issues or difficulties are encountered that would require additional funding, a modification would be requested and is subject to and conditioned upon the approval of City Council, and appropriation and certification of funds by the City Auditor.
