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.
On June 18, 2018, the Board authorized to extend the contract for GIS Professional
Services for 12 months, which ended on June 30, 2019.
On June 17, 2019, the Board authorized to extend the contract for GIS
Professional Services for another 12 months, which will end on June 30, 2020.
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, 2020 to June 30, 2021.
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: The Administrative Committee recommends
the Board authorize 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 2020-2021 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, 2020 to June 30, 2021. 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 9-A).
