Summary: If approved, this request will extend the Sentinel contract by one year, during which time the County will complete its City-County joint procurement for replacement services. Due to transition within the Bureau of Technology and coordination of this complex joint procurement, the City-County RFP evaluation committee has resumed the final stages of its procurement. Extending this contract for one year will give the County sufficient time to select a vendor, complete negotiations and seek approval to award a new contract, as well as any transition services applicable.
