☒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 Opex Corporation in an amount not to exceed $16,051 for suite of barcode for mail processing machine and licensing for the period May 28, 2024, through July 31, 2025.
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 Opex Corporation to automate and disseminate mail received by the department. The software facilitates effective operations and simplifies the complexities of running a high volume mailroom. This helps in supporting communication and facilitation of child support services available in Contra Costa County.
The Master Maintenance Agreement 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 have difficulty completing business operations for Child Support Services.
