MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION • 8730
BY: FINANCE COMMITTEE, PAUL E. KASPER, CHAIRPERSON
IN RE: AUTHORIZATION TO NEGOTIATE A CONTRACT WITH SYSTEM AND COMPUTER
TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Finance Committee has studied management 8- operating problems
involving the Computer Services Division as evidenced by the Elmer Fox Study;
and
WHEREAS the Finance Committee decided to seek proposals for Facilities
Management (FM) of the Data Center; and
WHEREAS the Finance Committee, in cooperation with the County's Administra-
tion, developed a request for proposal (RFP) to provide FM of the County's Data
Center; and
WHEREAS the County did receive five (5) proposals for Facilities Management:
and
WHEREAS the proposals received suggested a wide range of options in pro-
viding FM; and
WHEREAS those options ranged from a management consultant team to total
take-over of the Data Center including employees, equipment, operating and supplies
expenses; and
WHEREAS the Finance Committee has reviewed the various proposals submitted;
and
WHEREAS it was determined contracting the entire computer operation with a
FM firm is not necessarily the most efficient and effective option open to the
County; and
WHEREAS the technical expertise within the computer operation is above
average and it is in the best interests of the County to retain those personnel;
and
WHEREAS to maximize the use of the in-house technical expertise requires
implementation of a more sophisticated and structured management under the direct
control of the County; and
WHEREAS the Finance Committee has determined it is in the best interest of
the County to seek selected services as needs dictate from one of the outside
vendors for a rapid improvement of the Data Center; and
FINANCE COMMITTEE
Paul E. Ka er, Chairperson
WHEREAS it was determined System and Computer Technology (SCT)
Corporation, offered the County the most flexible approach for improve-
ment of the Data Center; and
WHEREAS it was determined SCT's Option Three provides the most viable
basis for contracting FM services.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED the County Executive negotiate a contract
with Systems and Computer Technology Corporation for Option Three to take
care of our needs for Computer Services Division, and include performance
levels for CLEMIS and other users in our contract under Option Three.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the negotiated contract be reviewed with
the Finance Committee and submitted for approval to the Board of Commissioners.
The Finance Committee, by Paul E. Kasper, Chairperson, moves the
adoption of the foregoing resolution.
