General Counsel Review:  N/A

Committee Recommendation:  The Administrative Committee reviewed this item on June 10, 2019 and recommended approval.

CEQA Compliance:  This action does not constitute a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15378.

 

SUMMARY:  With the departure of District’s full-time GIS Specialist, there was a need to find a replacement to fill that position.  Based on the size of the District, the replacement of a full-time GIS position can most effectively be filled with a part-time GIS consultant. 

 

On June, 2017, the District entered in to an Agreement for GIS Professional Services with Lynx Technologies.  The Agreement was for a period of 12 months that ended on June 30, 2018. 

 

One June 18, 2018, the Board authorized to extend the contract for GIS Professional Services for another 12 months.  The current Agreement will end on June 30, 2019.

 

A revised scope of services for GIS Professional Services has been prepared by Lynx Technologies for the Boards review.  If approved, this Agreement will extend for another 12 months with effect from from July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020. 

 

Currently, the Pebble Beach Community Services District is using services of Lynx Technologies to provide GIS services for their district on a part-time basis. In addition, several other cities are also utilizing the services of Lynx Technologies for their GIS needs.

 

RECOMMENDATION:  District staff recommends authorizing the General Manager or the Administrative Services Manager/CFO to enter into an agreement with Lynx Technologies to provide GIS services for an amount not to exceed $35,000.  The approval of this item is contingent upon the adoption of FY 2019-2020 budget by the Board.

 

BACKGROUND:  Lynx Technologies will serve as a consultant for GIS services to provide support for the District on a part-time, continuous basis and will provide onsite office hours of 1-2 days per week based on the workload.  

 

The Agreement with Lynx Technologies will be from July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020. Lynx Technologies will assign an employee to serve as the GIS consultant to the District and will provide support by performing District’s GIS services on an ongoing basis.  Details of these functions being performed by Lynx Technologies are included in Scope of Services (Exhibit 4-A).
