Report Title: Purchase Order with e-OSCAR
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, or designee, to execute on behalf of the Director of Child Support Services, a purchase order with e-OSCAR in an amount not to exceed $3,000 for web credit reporting services for the period January 1, 2024, through December 31, 2027.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This project will be fully funded by allocations from the Federal Government at 66% and the State of California at 34%.
BACKGROUND:
The Department of Child Support Services utilizes e-OSCAR to resolve disputes for customer credit history. The automated system enables DCSS to create and respond to consumer credit history disputes. This program is a required tool by the State Department of Child Support Services.
The Terms and Conditions of the purchase order include a Limitation of Liability and Indemnification provision approved by County Counsel. This purchase order is late due to staff shortages in Child Support’s administration.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this action is not approved, the department will not be able to resolve consumer credit history disputes.
