Summary: This increase will allow the Cook County Assessor's Office to continue to receive mainframe consulting services from RMM Consulting. To capture the economic market effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Cook County Assessor's Office applied a "COVID adjustment factor" to all eligible residential and commercial parcels in Cook County. This type of response was unprecedented in size and effort, which resulted in an unforeseen amount of consulting hours being consumed.
The consultant was an integral part of planning and executing the effort to calculate COVID adjustments within the constraints of the AS400 and load them onto the mainframe. Without this effort, the project would not have been completed. After review of hours, it was determined that an additional 525 hours would be needed to complete original scope of the contract.
This is a Sole Source Procurement pursuant to Section 34-139 of the Cook County Procurement Code.
