The City has current contracts with Protingent, Inc.; Viri Technology, LLC; Robert Half International, Inc.; and TEKsystems, Inc., which the IT Department intends to continue using through December 31, 2022. Additionally, the IT Department intends to contract with Affirma, LLC for additional temporary staffing services. The City will not be extending its contract with Scion Staffing, Inc. beyond December 31, 2021, but may contract with additional employment staffing agencies during 2022 and beyond. The City’s IT Department seeks Council approval to both extend existing contracts and to enter into new contracts in the future to support the City’s authorized projects and service needs, so long as the costs associated with those contracts can be paid for within previous budgets established and authorized by Council through the current biennium. In 2022, Council has authorized an additional $3,779,043.84 to the IT Department in support of the City’s technological projects and service needs. IT will continue to monitor fees charged in relation to that collective budgeted amount to ensure the amounts paid to all employment agencies for temporary workers do not exceed the budgeted amounts approved by Council.

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.

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 Consultant. 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. AMENDMENT NO. 3 - 2 of 3 (Robert Half International, Inc.) 3. Miscellaneous. A.
