PURPOSE: The purpose of this ECAF is to approve and execute Amendment 2 to the Professional Services Agreement with Judge Technical Services, Inc. for Augmented IT Staffing to increase funding and extend the Agreement through December 23, 2026.

From time to time, additional professional staffing is needed to assist during times of peak workload or to provide assistance in areas where IT lacks expertise or resources. In accordance with RFP 19-18, an agreement was executed with Judge Technical Services, Inc. for five years plus five one-year optional extensions. In 2023, the contractor began to also provide staffing to the Office of Resilience and Recovery (ORR) for IT projects funded through Coronavirus Local Fiscal Recovery Funds pursuant to the American Rescue Plan act (ARPA CLFR), and additional funds were added to the Agreement. There is still a great need for assistance from Judge staffing to assist with multiple projects underway in IT, and continue the dashboard work for ORR. The County wishes to extend the agreement for two years and increase funding for both ORR and IT in order for services to be provided through December 23, 2026.
