Report Title: Contract Amendment with GovernmentJobs.com, Inc.
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Director of Human Resources, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with GovernmentJobs.com, Inc., (dba NeoGov), to increase the contract payment limit by $100,000 to $955,000 for providing a vendor-hosted internet-based applicant tracking software system, and to extend the term through June 30, 2025.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The cost for the term of the amendment is within the Human Resources Department FY 24-25 budget.
BACKGROUND:
The County has been contracting with GovernmentJobs.com, Inc. for a number of years to provide an applicant tracking system. The availability of status reports, automatic reminders, and overdue notices will help ensure hiring documents and steps are completed and processed in a timely fashion. The applicant tracking system will be hosted on the internet by the vendor. The agreement obligates the vendor to indemnify the County for third-party losses arising out of the vendor’s negligence or willful misconduct in performing the agreement, provided that the vendor’s indemnity obligation is capped at their insurance limits under the agreement - $1,000,000 for general liability and $4,000,000 for cyber insurance.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the contract is not approved, we will not be able to access the vendor’s tracking system, which would significantly hinder the ability to continue modernizing processes and move toward a paperless system.
