Summary: This second of two (2), one (1) year renewal options will allow the first time implementation of the Cook County Sweetened Beverage Tax Ordinance which was approved by the Board of Commissioners November 2016. Due to the high volume of notifications that must be mailed, DOR is requesting temporary assistance with the initial paper based and manual first year implementation of the Sweetened Beverage Tax, including the administration of the one-time floor tax return for inventory on hand, which will involve outreach to over 70,000 businesses. In addition, the temporary staff will assist with the increased call volume from taxpayers and return processing until the implementation of the modernized Integrated Tax Processing System. The use of temporary staff for these more administrative duties will allow the current compliance staff to focus on their revenue generating enforcement tasks.
This contract was awarded as a Comparable Government Procurement pursuant to Section 34-140 of the Cook County Procurement Code. KForce was previously awarded a contract through a Request for Proposals (RFP) process by the State of Arizona. Cook County wishes to leverage this procurement effort.
