DEPARTMENT NAME DEPARTMENT RX# OET - Voice Operations PROPOSED CONTRACT VENDOR NEED IDENTIFIED Date: 05/26/2021 Company: Altivon L.P. REQUESTED DELIVERY Address: 4570 Avery Lane SE Suite C PMB 166 Date: 06/30/2021 City, State: Lacey, WA QUOTED PRICE: $114,203.75 Zip/Postal Code: 98503-5608 Phone: 602-797-1705 Accounting String: 681-4127-8123 Fax: Contact Name: JoAnn Wieczorek DESCRIPTION OF GOODS OR SERVICES REQUIRED: The estimated cost of this Procurement is: ≤ $100k > $100k Is this a Technology Procurement? Yes No This would be maintenance and support for the Customer Interaction Center (aka CIC) call center solution currently in use by both Planning and Development along with the STAR Call Center. P&D is in the process of being migrated off the platform but STAR remains and will so until the end of the calendar year. As such, we are needing to have maintenance and support on the platform to ensure we're able to operationally support their call center. COMPETITION IMPRACTICABLE CATEGORY (Check applicable box, attach documentation or provide explanation below.) Maricopa County Procurement Code MC1-351 states: “Competition Impracticable” means an acquisition where, competition is impractical because of standardization, warranty, or other factors as approved by the Board of Supervisors. NOTE: The following are unlikely to be sufficient Competition Impracticable justifications: • Personal or department preference for a product or vendor • Department perception that the vendor is the best qualified (this should be determined through a competitive process) • Lack of department planning resulting in limited time to conduct a competitive procurement • Special incentive or deal offered (can be assessed in open and competitive solicitation) • Department convenience Grant specified (supporting documents attached) Software license renewals, additions, or upgrades available from only one source Mailing lists, subscriptions or media advertising Brand compatibility available from only one source (no other distributors) Warranty voided if service provided by other contract vendor Other proprietary situation Other (Provide written explanation below) DocuSign Envelope ID: C4A8A41D-5A0C-405B-83D2-201C1989BAF8 THIS IS A COMPETITION IMPRACTICABLE PROCUREMENT BECAUSE (attach additional page if needed): There is a need to continue the support & maintenance contract for another 6 months, until the end of the year with this vendor. Currently we are in the process of initiating an RFP for a comprehensive support & maintenance contract and to do so we need all of the existing maintenance to be co-terminus. As a result, it would be impracticle to temporarily find another vendor to provide the services and support that Altivon does so we are simply looking to extend the existing contract for another 6 months to allow for the new RFP process to complete and a new vendor to be on-boarded. SEARCH A search was conducted consisting of: (check all that apply) RESULTS Market research Public notice given, list no alternatives were identified Other vendors contacted Other no alternatives were deemed acceptable because (explain below): Describe the search from above in detail: No other vendors are appropriate for this because it would only be for a 6-month period of time. The best approach for us is to extend the existing contract until the end of the year while a more permanent vendor, who can support the entire telephony environment, is sought, awarded the bid and on-boarded. PRICE MC1-352-B states: The Using Agency requesting a Competition Impracticable Procurement shall provide written evidence to support a Competition Impracticable determination containing an explanation of why the proposed procurement process is advantageous to the County; and the scope, duration, and estimated total dollar value of the procurement. Price has been fairly and reasonably established by: Comparison to public sector contract pricing Comparison to previous comparable purchases Discount off published catalog pricing from a different vendor Market survey Independent estimate Other, explain: Describe methodology and results (attach any written supporting data, e.g., survey or market analysis): The pricing for this extension is based on the previous maintenance expense. This would be a prorated amount based on a 6 month extension while the contract bid package is created.
