The County utilizes MaintStar, a Computerized Maintenance Management Software (CMMS), to track, plan, and manage road and flood control maintenance activities, timesheet billing, and horizontal asset management. L.A. Consulting will provide training, configuration, and technical support services for the County’s MaintStar system. This work includes support for CMMS upgrades to MaintStar, which L.A. Consulting, Inc. previously helped implement. The contractor will also assist County staff in maximizing the use of the CMMS by enhancing and optimizing its configuration.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to approve this contract will prevent the County from completing routine and emergency road and flood control maintenance work in a timely manner.
