Background and Discussion:

On August 10, 2021, Community Services requested approval of an award to Applied Business Software, Inc.

for the period of August 10, 2021 - August 9, 2022, with four (4) one-year renewal options (200132). On July

21, 2022, Community Service requested renewal option with Applied Business Software, Inc. Community

Service is now requesting authorization to renew the Applied Business Software contract for the period of

August 10, 2024 - August 09, 2025.

 

Expected Impact: The renewal of this agreement is being requested in order that the department can

continue to utilize the software and process request without delays.

 

Alternative Options: The alternative would be for staff to seek other resources to assess customers’ needs to

review, approve, or deny service requests. The inability to process customers’ requests would impede the

services CSD has been tasked to perform.

 

Alignment with Goal(s):

_ Justice and Safety

_ Economic Opportunity

X Housing

X Public Health

_ Transportation

_ Flooding

_ Environment

_ Governance and Customer Service
