SUMMARY:
Scion Staffing Inc., Viri Technology LLC, Protingent Inc., and Robert Half International, Inc. are
staffing and recruitment agencies that specializes in placing information technology
professionals in project and contract-to-hire positions. The City’s Information Technology
department will leverage contractor work through these consultant agencies.
On November 19, 2019, Council approved original contracts with Scion Staffing Inc., Viri
Technology LLC, and Protingent Inc., as well as a contract with Robert Half International, Inc. on
August 06, 2019 in a total contract amount of $2,499,226.49 for services to be provided
through December 31, 2020, for temporary information technology professional services. This
contract approval authorized temporary service contracts with a variety of consultants within
that same budgetary amount. Each contract authorized extensions for successive one-year
terms through the execution of future contract amendments. Information Technology desires to
amend each of these contracts to extend services through December 31, 2021.
If the amendments are approved, the City will pay the Consultants, based on time and
materials, for services provided through December 31, 2021, in a total collective amount of
$1,250,000.00 for all Consultants. IT will monitor fees charged in relation to this collective
budgeted amount to ensure the amounts paid under all temporary consultant contracts do
not exceed $1,250,000.00, which is the amount Council approved as part of the 2021 budget
for IT capital projects.

ORIGINAL AGREEMENT DATE: December 31, 2019
This Amendment is made between the City and the above-referenced Consultant and amends the
original Agreement and all prior Amendments. All other provisions of the original Agreement or prior
Amendments not inconsistent with this Amendment shall remain in full force and effect. For valuable
consideration and by mutual consent of the parties, the Agreement is modified as follows:

extensions of the Agreement for successive one (1) years through an amendment authorized by the parties.
Consistent with that provision, the parties desire to amend the Agreement’s term as provided below:

2.Compensation. Section III of the Agreement, entitled “Compensation,” is amended to
replace it with the following:
III.COMPENSATION.
A. The City shall pay the Consultant, based on time and materials, for
services provided under this Agreement. The Kent City Council has
established an overall budget of $1,250,000.00 for all temporary
staffing and placement of IT professionals provided by Consultant, and
others retained by the City to provide similar work, through December
31, 2021, and City staff is not authorized to approve any work beyond
that budgeted amount. The City will monitor fees charged in relation to
that collective budgeted amount, and if services provided by Consultant
and others will cause the City to exceed that budgeted amount, the City
will either seek additional approval through a contract amendment
authorized by the Mayor or Council as the Kent City Code may require,
or terminate Consultant’s services as provided for in this Agreement.
Consultant acknowledges and understands that it is not the City’s
exclusive provider of these services, but is instead one of several
Consultants who have been retained to provide temporary staffing and
placement services. The City maintains its unqualified right to obtain
these services through other sources. This Agreement is for on-call and
as-needed services, the need for which is determined in the City’s sole
judgment and discretion. Consultant shall have no obligation to continue
performance once the “not to exceed” amount limitation has been
attained. The City shall be responsible for all charges for services in the
event the City fails to notify Consultant of termination of the assignment
or fails to increase of the “not to exceed” amount.

AMENDMENT - 2 OF 2
The Consultant’s billing rate will be negotiated at the time an Assigned
Individual is assigned to perform services for the City. The temporary
worker Consultant assigns to perform work under this Agreement
(“Assigned Individual”) will submit either an electronic time record or a
time sheet for City’s verification and approval at the end of each week.
Based upon that approved time record or time sheet, the Consultant will
submit weekly payment invoices to the City for payment, which will
reflect the previously agreed and negotiated billing rate.
B. The City shall provide payment to Consultant within forty-five (45) days
of its receipt of proper invoice from Consul tant. If the City objects to all
or any portion of an invoice due to billing or invoicing errors, it shall
notify the Consultant and reserves the option to only pay that portion of
the invoice not in dispute until any such dispute is settled by the parties .
In that event, the parties will immediately make every effort to settle
the disputed portion.
3.Miscellaneous.
A. The Consultant accepts all requirements of this Amendment by signing below, and by
its signature waives any protest or claim it may have regarding the Agreement or this Amendment. This
Amendment, unless otherwise provided, does not relieve the Consultant from strict compliance with the
guarantee and warranty provisions of the original Agreement.
B. All acts consistent with the authority of the Agreement, previous Amendments (if any),
and this Amendment, prior to the effective date of this Amendment, are hereby ratified and affirmed, and
the terms of the Agreement, previous Amendments (if any), and this Amendment shall be deemed to have
applied.
C. The parties whose names appear below swear under penalty of perjury that they are
authorized to enter into this Amendment, which is binding on the parties of this contract.
IN WITNESS, the parties below have executed this Amendment, which will become
effective on the last date written below.
