Summary: This amendment would allow the County to exercise two of five one-year renewal options with Revenue Solutions Inc. with no additional dollars. As the second phase of the ITPS implementation will be going live around mid FY2020, it has been determined that one of the contracted Compliance Programs provided for in this contract will be designed to assist with the processing of Individual Use Tax and will be implemented along with second release go-live implementation. The remaining Compliance Programs that are included in this contract will be designed and implemented post go-live, after the Department has had the opportunity to assess the areas that these programs will have the greatest impact in assisting with the identification and collection of revenue. Additionally, discussions with other State Departments of Revenue suggested maximum return on investment and increased revenues occur after key resources are familiar with the new system and all its abilities.
This is a Comparable Government Procurement pursuant to Section 34-140 of the Cook County Procurement Code. Revenue Solutions, Inc. was previously awarded a contract by the State of Rhode Island through a competitive Request for Proposal process.
